Show Chatter Box i Dear Suzy, The Chronicle certainly did incense in-cense a number of people this past week. Among them was the U. S-I S-I Army, the WRA personnel. the West Millard Wildlife Federation, and all of the local people who own a gun of any sort. j They brought the wrath on thcr shoulders by priinting a piece a-bout a-bout soldiers at Topaz hunting the pheasants out of season. This article ar-ticle made the soldiers mad because be-cause they were discriminated a-gainst, a-gainst, and were in the minority and actually had to stand in line I back of WRA personnel and local t poachers waiting to get into the field. It made the Wildlife sore because it was incorporated in a .piece about them holding a meeting meet-ing to discuss the shooting of pheasants phe-asants when they were innocent of anything but just discussing. It made the WRA personnel vexed tj hear that anyone dared poach on : their private poaching preseve. it burned the local poachers up because be-cause they were the only ones wno had to buy their own ammunition. From what I hear the farmers will be happy to have the pheasant pheas-ant season opened so that there will be less shooting than there is now. and have things quiet down a little. Dewey Sanford was gripeing this past week about having to wait three weeks for the ration board to ok a pair of rubber boots for him. What he ought to do is become be-come a farmer and then it would be easy for him to get the board to OK his application. To look at Shine (Grant) Church or Grant (Shine) Church you'd njt think that he is the kind hearted and generous soul that he is. He spaded up his front yard to make it easier for birds to scratch in, and now every night he places lawn grass seed on the spaded ground to feed the sparrows. Each morning morn-ing at daylight the happy birds gather and eat the seeds, chirping merrily, thanking their benefactor in their own way for his generosity. generosi-ty. Shine's neighbors are also very happy about the whole deal because be-cause he has enticed all the sparrows spar-rows in the east end of town to his lot, and now they aren't bothered any more with them. Shirley Sanford is walking a little lit-tle straighter than normal and acting act-ing in a most superior manner jus, because of her prowess at squaw wrestling. I don't know much u-bout u-bout squaw wrestling as 1 thought the local squaws were built on too generous portions to be easily movable. mov-able. So I can't give you a very clear picture of the whole deal. But it seems that the Turners and San-fords San-fords had a family get-together 'n after each had eaten three portions of everything set on the table. took to squaw wrestling to settle their dinners. Shirley bested all comers and emerged champion, and was presented with a pair of moccasins mocca-sins and an extra helping of corn on the cob. Thenelda Parker is sporting the duckiest little black eye. Now if Mrs. Ellis, Mabel and Loretta come out with one, I will know it is all the rage and what the well-dressed woman will wear. There is little doubt but that I could easily get myself anywhere from one to a dozen a week, but I hope that the fashion doesn't force me to that, or that "my public" carries out what they ofttimes threaten. It looks as though we are getting get-ting back to normal in a good'.y fashion. Now, for the first time since the war began you can actually ac-tually see gas tanks so full that they are leaking on the streets. That is a sure sign that conditions are quickly righting themselves. The kids are nav'ig their ears and necks washed foe the first time since June 1 and are gelling ready to go bac; to school. For most of them it will be the stalling stall-ing of a nine-months vacation as they hav? been pretty busy leading Old Dobbin on th-j hay derrick and doing other more strenuous work. I hope I didn't incense anyone, Toots |
