Show I C Chatter b alfe r Box I IDear Dear Suzy You would think that two brothers brothers brothers bro bro- could agree on procedure plans and ways and means but bul such Is not the case with the two brothers in question Red ant and Frank Van De They as you yoi know run several businesses a around around around a- a round these parts and especially the dance hall haU known as Vans Van's Hall They have other interests but the main one Is the hall regardless re regardless regardless re- re of the propaganda they are putting out Id td t other effects Anyway Frank is the one who takes tickets and does the odd Jobs around the place and Red is the dancing one Well Vell Frank arrives arrives arrives ar ar- rives a little on the cold side and so proceeds to build up a series of fires in the stoves that are really something and use up coal by the large buckets full Now along comes Red all cocked and primed to dance and have a little fun and so he throws open the windows and checks the stoves For the early part of the evening evenIng evening even even- ing one Is practically stepping on each others other's heels as the one builds up the fires and closes the windows while the other one makes the rounds cutting down the draft and opening the windows About 1030 p. p m. m they must come cometo cometo to some sort of truce as it is about this his time that the windows are all Open pen and the fires going full blast Frank is selling tickets faster than thana a side show for a bubble dancer and Red is worn down closer to a anub anub anub nub from his dancing and everyone seems happy but the people there Those who arent aren't dancing are cold and trying to get out of the drafts while those who are dancing dancing dancing ing are kicking stove doors tight shut and standing by the windows to get the full benefit of the night air Which only goes to prove more mor forcibly that you OU cant can't please everyone everyone everyone ev ev- ev- ev unless of course you are running a newspaper and they tell me it is a cinch to please everyone everyone everyone every every- one then Still things arent aren't so bad at Vans Van's Hall as they are in Lynndyl Bill Walker North Tract North Tract sage tells me that up there when the couples want to monopolize each other they dance barefooted ed and then they wont won't dance with anyone who isn't barefooted So the barefooted dancers have their own wa way with their partners at least There is more to this barefooted dancing than appears on the surface surface surface sur sur- sur- sur face it saves valuable shoe leather leath leath- er socks and time getting ready for the dance The only drawback I could see would be when the going going going go go- ing got rough and there were chances of finding a No 11 shoe parked on orles ones toes Too there is no reason to rush this barefooted barefoot barefoot- ed business because the Democrats say my that th t if they dont don't stay in we w will all be barefooted and the Republicans Republicans Republicans Re Re- publicans say that if they dont don't get in we will all be barefooted so it looks as though come next election we are all going to be barefooted My only hope is that they dont don't carry the bare business business busi bust ness less to higher places Here it is but a short time until Christmas and the stores about town own look as though Nick had moved noved his mortuary up town and had ad installed parts of his equipment equipment equip equip- ment nent in each place of business In fact act Nick may as well complete the he job and embalm most of Dela Delta Delta Del Del- ta a business places because they certainly are dead Well you cant can't change Lange human nature and it looks as is though we will all go through the he same thing this year that we have Lave done in the past and that it ito to o wait until Christmas Eve and Ind then bustle around and do our fur shopping Which reminds me that I haven't done lone mine and will join all you other ether people that night and try to a get it done within a short time Last ast year I made definite plans to o start the day after Christmas and find get It done but for some reason reas reas- on n I didn't get around to it but buthis this his year I am going to do it Anyway It is more fun to wait waitto waito to o the last minute and then do our shopping hopping and then we can see what Ahat everyone else is buying for heir their friends and family and gage ourselves accordingly In this way wayt it t is a scoop on Santa Claus to 1 know now what he will bring 90 percent jf of f the local population So we can look forward to a hapy happy hap- hap py y reunion in Delta on Christmas Eve ve as we will see everyone on he the flat that night Toots I |
