shoulder and a serious injury to
One knee. The motorcycle belonged
to a third party and was consider
ably damaged.
The most spectacular accident
happened when Joe Meek, P. P. &
L. company lineman turned over
the company light truck near the
Frank Wilkinson place while mak
ing a fast run to the city well at
the forks of Willow creek. Meek
had received a telephone call about
9 o'clock Sunday morning stating
that his son Glyde (Shorty) liad
fallen over a cliff and cut his foot.
Not knowing how badly the boy
was injured, Meek started for the
scene and was going at a pretty
good clip when he suddenly came
upon some 30 sheep in the road.
Realizing the scarcity of mutton,
he did not wish to further diminish
the supply and endeavored to swing
out around the flock. The truck
rolled completely over and landed
right side up without a great deal
of damage. Tools were thrown out
and the ladder on the s'de of the
truck was broken. Then the motor
caught on fire. He grabbed the fire
extinguisher and put out the fire,
gathered up part of the tools and
set out for the well, with a lapse of
not to exceed five minutes. He was
greatly relieved to find that the
boy's foot had not been cut, al
though a bad ankle sprain and a
broken bone in the foot had been
sustained. "Shorty", his brother
and Keith and Gerry Connor had
gone to the well Saturday night and
camped out. Sunday morning they
climbed up the mountain to see
deer and the ledge upon which they
were standing gave way and pre
cipitated "Shorty" over the 15-foot
cliff.
Meek returned to the scene of his
accident and picked up the rest of
the tools and returned to town. Ex
cept 'for a few dents and scratches
on the cab of the truck there was
little to show there had been an
accident.

Howdy Folks: The moon may not
influence the tide, but it certainly
has an effect on the untied.
One man blamed the moon
for his marriage. He said if it
hadn't of been for the moon
her old man would never have
caught him.
OF COURSE, MARRIAGE
IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.
We heard about one man who
went into matrimony with his eyes
closed . . . her father packed an
awful wallop.
SOMETIMES A MAN TAKES
A WIFE FOR A MATE AND
SHE TURNS OUT TO BE A
SKIPPER.
Well, marriage is a fine institu
tion. We wouldn't be without it.

During the war, Ben Ryder
talked about the trips he'd take
when gasoline rationing was
ended. Used to pore over roadmaps
checking mileages and charting
routes.
Now Ben's taking quite a lot of
ribbing. Soon as rationing was
lifted, he decided he liked staying
home, puttering in the garden,
playing chess, sharing a pleasant
glass of beer with friends.
"Shucks," admits Ben sheep
ishly, "aa soon as you can go, then
it's just M good as having gor.c !
You might as well stay home . . .
enjoy your friends and family."
From where I sit, that's a pretty
Common trait in human nature.
Take that glass of beer, for in
stance. During Prohibition, Ben
was nursing an insatiable thirst.
But come repeal, Ben suddenly
finds he's happy with a friendly,
moderate glass of beer and noth
ing more. Yep just tell folks the
sky's the limit, and they'll settle ,
for a piece of friendly earth.
