Show from the diary of a faithful contributor by GUESS WHO dear jack I 1 got down town the other morning and saw the flags flying and was informed by a boy on a bicycle that it was navy day I 1 get confused with all these holidays I 1 cant keep track of all of them I 1 would have no difficulty in observing them and knocking off work and taking a long rest on each of them if I 1 could just remember when they came along I 1 am thoroughly in favor of the celebration of navy day I 1 recall that you served in the navy they have K P s in the navy dont they jack the american people seem to be in favor of lots of holidays and when you look over the list and see sec the variety of eca evasions that are commemorated you almost feel there is nothing left to celebrate but I 1 am going to surprise you with a brand new sug suggestion geston for a holiday before I 1 finish this article that will meet with universal and enthusiastic approval but it is a great list for instance we celebrate and declare as a holiday new nev years day I 1 have heard although it is only a rumor that there are arc some who are arc so enthusiastic thusia over the beginning of the new year that they start celebrating the night before we honor I 1 washington and lincoln and some democrats get speeches out of their systems annually by pouncing on the memory of thomas jefferson and andrew jackson we observe day christmas day memorial day thanksgiving day labor day armistice day and in utah pioneer day and chy hy christensen believes in columbus day for reasons personal to him I 1 do not hold it against hy that he was a boyhood friend of chris major deweese is another admirer of columbus then we have st patricks day and the opening of the fishing season we have week this is of course strictly a republican affair and I 1 may add that because of certain things that happened or failed to happen during the hoover administration we had bank holidays some oi of them permanent then we have safety weeks deer hunting season rodeos and better baby weeks and we have poultry days and lamb feeders days and in some places p aces strawberry peach and onion days this onion day affair appeals to pap ramsay he has always be been on strong for bigger and better onions then there are birthdays and dog days and least w we entirely forget some times election election days I 1 could go on indefinitely but I 1 have only one more suggestion to make I 1 am not opposed to any of these celebrations that I 1 have already mentioned nor any of those I 1 have forgotten I 1 realize that each one means something to some one but in case our mine turns out and I 1 am going to give you a little inside tip things are arc beginning to look very bright pap ramsay and tex morrison have offered to sell us the splendid dump out at the old live oak mine and move it over on our claims you see jack a dump is one thing we have been sadly in need of on our diggings I 1 well as I 1 was going to say when the now have I 1 got that spelled right comes and our mine turns out I 1 want a holiday called stinkweed day by the way jack if this trend keeps up will we have any work days GUESS WHO |
