Show Chatter Box Dear Su.y, Glen Crawford has found out that the worm will turn, and that grease is grease and trucks are I rucks and the two just don't, mix. Glen for some time past has been full of fancy tricks such as burying bury-ing a tie in his yard and then when John Henderson showed up lo buy a critter or two, Glen tied a log chain on the rear axle of John's truck and to the tie. John nrelty near broke his neck when the truck came to a short halt, as he was about to pull out of the yard. John quit going tiiere and so Ray Skinner was the next victim. While Ray was busy doing all the work of loading the cattle, Glen was busy greasing his stearing wheel much to the discomfiture of Ray. Ray figured he would get even with Glen by greasing Glen's stearing wheel and so applied a liberal dose. Much to his consternation conster-nation Mrs. Anita Crawford showed up to drive (lie truck and poor Ray had to halt her while he, with a very red face, wiped the grease from the wheel. Well, we now come to Glen's worm-turning episode which occurred occur-red last Monday. He took his truck into the Texaco service station for a grease job, and Orlin figured that the grease job included the whole car plus stearing wheel and usual smudges of grease that are just thrown in helter-skelter on all grease jobs. But neither he nor Glen figured on the boy who closed clos-ed the door that lets the cars out of the grease emporium. Anyway the boy closed the door and being a normal garage door, once it was closed it couldn't be opened. There the truck was thoroughly greased with definite embellishments, Orlin Or-lin running around in circles trying try-ing to free the door with a sledge hammer, Glen all hot and bother-er bother-er because he was certain of walk-ink walk-ink home, and he didn't relish the saunter southward, and the boy was very inconspicuous. Orlin, with his usual quick ! thinking, solved the riddle by telling tel-ling Glen he would only charge him $4 a day for storage on the truck while they were endeavoring to get it out. Remembering the success Mrs. Violet Snow had in freeing Joe from behind closed garage gar-age doors Glen and Orlin waited upon her for advice and muscular aid with a crowbar. But Mrs. Snow was not available so the men were right back to where they started until Arch Maxfield showed up and with good success found the trouble, troub-le, freed the truck and sent Glen home wondering of this practical joking was all worthwhile. Lon Sampson has been initiated into the Society of Ditch Jumpers Who Didnt Make It, and is now a full fledged member of that all-wet all-wet society. He was watering the grounds back of the Seminary when he dissappeared completely from sight, only to appear a little later dripping wet and 'making more .noise than a sea lion with the asthma. There are two schools of thought as to how Lon got dunked. One is that he has always been jealous of his brother, Ren, for being taken into the society and was waiting his chance to enter. The other school of thought is that he went to lean on his shovel and missed. The Challenger airlines is still in a dither about Delta. Monday in ' their regular flight they showed up with one seat and the co-pilot's seat vacant, and when they land- ' ed 11 people were frothing at the mouth to get on the plane. Poor Beth Peterson was running around more excited that a setting hen ' that had hatched a flock of ducks. , The only calm people were the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pratt, who were about to embark on the plane and married life at the same time. The problem was solved by putting put-ting on a man who had a broken leg, his wife and daughter. Then the plane flew to Salt Lake and returned and picked up the rest of the passengers who were waiting wait-ing and took them to Salt Lake. The Challenger had better put on a rumble seat and a tow-line service, or else have a shuttle service ser-vice out of Delta and back every hour. Time flies and so does Delta, i Toots. i P. S.
