Show Veal ?(': Roosevelt, Utah May 9, 1946 Well even the mails are being affected by the coal strike no coal for transportation, no transportation and Uncle Sam has to limit the size of the package pack-age you can mail. The whole thing is becoming a pretty smelly mess and the restriction on the weight of packages that can be transported by mail is, I'm afraid, only the beginning. I believe it's about time poor brow beaten John Q. Public took a hand in these regularly occurring fracases, don't you Bill? I think that John Q. should serve warning right now that somebody is going to get hurt and it isn't going to be him. And so help me, I believe he ought to back up his warning with a club big enough to pound some brains into or out of, which ever case applies, anyone or any group that disregards his words of caution. That's the way I feel about it, Bill. Vic Snow, executive secretary secre-tary of the Utah Chain Stores Association called on long distance dis-tance yesterday. During the course of our conversation Vic wanted to know how we were getting along with our clean-up campaign. Boy you should have heard the excuses I gave him. Well anyway he told me what we could do and I agreed with him. Oh yes, Floyd Roberts down at Safeway and Sam Weiss are going ahead with plans for the improvement of their stores a clean-up beautification move. I don't know what the circumstances circum-stances are surrounding the report re-port I heard yesterday. Of course you hear those things and they pass you without too much importance being attached to them. But I understand" that" one of our ex-city councilmen was pinched in Heber for forgetting to step on his brakes when he hit Main Street. Nothing important import-ant of course, particularly since no names were mentioned. The only thing I know is that it was one of our ex-councilmen. Tom Atkins was wearing his new boots last night. Alligator hide they are and you can be certain that they aren't made from an old second-hand suitcase. suit-case. They're genuine, all alligator alli-gator with the teeth removed. It just occurred to me that Steve Bellon has a man sized idea about city improvement and clean-up. I better go over for a bite to eat, and hear his plan. From what I understand we can make use of it. See you in a few weeks. As ever, Unc |
