Show f i a By LARRY STAHLE In the old days if you wanted to know 1 If U a girl had knock knees you had to Usten lis Us- Us ten The Snow College Badgers Badger s and the Manti ManU High School Templar football teams must feel teel a little bit like the Uni Uni- I of Utah Redskins do this week nothing seems to be going right in their grid con con- tests The lost a heartbreaker heartbreaker heartbreaker heart- heart breaker to the Juab Wasps a couple of weeks back and then came back last Friday to again stub their toes a against the tough Emer Emery Spartans No matter which way the they STAhLE turn they seem to catch It right In the puss But the Temps are hoping to turn the tide Ude of battle in their contest against the North Sanpete Sanpete Sanpete San- San pete Hawks which was played yesterday Wednesday at Mt Pleasant But with the good luck of the they will probably get caught In the middle again The game was planned as the homecoming contest for the students students students stu stu- dents at North Sanpete The Badgers are probably still wondering what hit lilt them after last Saturdays Saturday's encounter with the Mesa squad from down Arizona way But the mere fact that the op opposition opposition opposition op- op position tallied 59 points against them last Saturday didn't cause gloom to settle over Ephraim I see Monday that the Badger were hard at work preparing for the Dixie Rebel invasion this weekend All these two teams need to change their luck is a large gob of support from the local rooters To a hunter the four seasons seasons seasons sea sea- sons of the year are Duck Pheasant Rabbit and Deer Next week is National Newspaper Newspaper Newspaper News News- paper Week This tribute to the nations nation's press personnel falls annually during the month of October I really dont don't know why I have hesitated to mention this fact before I am sure that right now your body is covered with goose bu bumps and your heart Is pounding with excitement excitement excitement excite excite- ment over the realization that thata a special week has been proclaimed proclaimed proclaimed pro pro- claimed to honor ye olde aide local print But you have to face the facts Newspapers have it all over radio and television for being useful Instruments For instance have you ever tried to wrap your garbage in your television or radio The daily or weekly rag can do dothe dothe dothe the trick Some other ways that the newspaper just cant can't be beat are When the kiddies come in from play with muddy feet the paper is the first thing that you seize Some brides bride's white dress will wll probably be transformed transformed transformed trans trans- formed into a dark brown shade but the floors remain their na natural natural natural na- na tural shade The only time to avoid using newspapers for mud blotters Is during a heated political campaign campaign campaign cam cam- because they are probably already saturated with the moist soil Next week when you scream on the paper at the puppy give him an opportunity to cover some of our finer material such as this column You can start your childs child's education early by setting his high chair on a newspaper while he is eating his meal If the chair is placed smack dab on top of the school district news tidbits perhaps he can absorb some knowledge from the bottom bottom bottom bot bot- tom up I recently decided to test our faithful newspaper clan Green Flash Don Lithe LoDel LoDe I and Jovial Joyce concerning the up upcoming upcoming upcoming up- up coming Newspaper Week When I popped the question I received such a rousing response that you could hear the ink dry Their reply was So o what Around here every week Is Newspaper Week Joyce re retorted retorted re- re that she could get t more excited over Fun and Games Week But I was not going to be put off Finally Joyce and LoDel agreed that if it would ma make e eme me feel better they would take takene ne next week off and go on vacation vacation vacation vaca vaca- tion and celebrate the week in proper fashion The Green Flash chided in that perhaps we could do our readers a fa favor vor by not publishing publishing pub pub- lishing a paper at all next week LoDel chipped in the suggestion suggestion suggestion sug sug- that we print next weeks week's edition in red ink But Joyce quickly retorted that I already had the place too far in the red now I suggested that they sign a pledge in blood as to how much they really liked the newspaper business They all agreed to do this If U I would supply the blood Lithe LoDel finally hit upon an idea that made some sense at least for a minute or two that we print the pIctures pictures pic plc- tures lures of everyone on the staff still staffin in next weeks week's edition Now Jovial Joyce and Lithe LoDel would enhance the front page of any sheet Green Flash Don might sell a few papers to relatives but butI I dont don't know about loitering Larry But I decided to give It a try I started searching for a suitable photo to plaster on the lower right corner of page three next week The best one that was available I was saving for use when I ran for political office It was taken when I was seven years old atop a Shetland pony I was sporting the best toothless grin you have ever seen After giving the matter my complete attention for or 30 seconds seconds seconds sec sec- I decided that at this time of year with cold weather setting setting setting set set- ting In taxes coming due and Christmas just around the cor cor- ner that the people of MantI Mantl Ephraim and Sterling could not stand any more shocks so soI I will not print my picture I ISome Some tasks have to be put off ort dozens of times before they will completely slip your mind |
