DI7ORTALS
NOW THEY PAY Is CENTS FOR HOT DOGS AND
So FOR A BOWL OF CHILL

On Monday. May 8lst, or rather on Tuesday at 30 am,
juno lst, things happened at he American Weiner Shop, oath
and Lake Streets. After the ball was over, approxima ely 65 or
10 young ladies and gentlemen, at least that is whas their par
ems would wan to think they were-ladies of dignity and gen.
tlemen Of the very highest type, went into the Wiener Shop
for an after party, and immedfa ely things began to happen
1t was thr9' o'clock in he morning and an ex-policeman sat
at The counter with no though. of calming the rowdy youngsters
This group Of youngsters, not all Of hem, but some of them,
became impatcna because the man in charge refused to break
the law and serve hem beer after 90 I. m. They broke the
lodg from the beer ice cooler and proceeded to help themsel-
YES. The man in charge thought probably the bes. place for him
would be to stand guard ut the cash register, and was even
afraid to 60 to the phone and call The police. After partaking
Of he beer and becoming intoxicated, they decided 10 take
enough beer to last a couple of weeks They went into the back
of the shop and took ten cases of beer out of the back door.
Someone remembered that they would no. have anything TO mix
their highbans viii, 50 they proceeded to take one-half dozen
cases Of soda pop along with them. Those who did not parti-
capate in the theft of the beer and pop, thought things were
going all wrong anyway, and took the salt and pepper shakers
and sugar bowls, hen wrapped up a few hot dogs. The man on
watch did not know anyone by name, but believes he could
identify them on sight. 1t is possible that someone will have to
make known his Whereabouts on Tuesday morning, June lt
In the event any one Of the group is identified, someone is GO
ing to Jail for this theft. For the above actions, the American
Wiener Shop has taken down the bill of fare and raised the
price 10 Is cents per hot dog and 80 cents per bowl of chilli
and politely informs some of the inquring customers that they
can get hotdogs for cents and chill for 10 cents down the street,
The next morning after this happened, Mr.. Adams called
the acting editor Of The Guide and requested him to come up
right away. For some reason the acting editor did not respond
readily to the call, and the next day when he did call, the pro.
prietor was not in. After making TWO or three calls, he finally
succeeded in getting an interview with him and he stated to Mr..
Galloway that he was glad he was late in coming mp. lie said
when he called the other day, he wanted to increase the size Of
his ad in The Guide, and he wanted to say things he felt now
would be unjust to say or put in print "Ihave not got my beer
back and have not heard anything about the other things that
We're missing The following morning after the youngsters wreck
ed my place. However, I have had time to have second thought
and | appreciate the fact that there are some people in this com
munty who appreciate the services we give and are entitled to
be treated accordingly But in order to keep out the ~riff-raff
group. have adopted a new plan. It is little embarrassing, but
it's a thing had to do" We wonder who viii be the first per-
son, who participated in this unlawful act. to 90 to the Ameri-
can Wiener Shop and make good the loss and apologize 10 the
proprietor for the things done when under the influence of Ii
quor Let us hope that this eommriuity win have the coopera-
ton of the parents to help get some of the property back for
the Wiener Shop and to right this wrong, even though it is hu-
initiating. We feel Mr.. Adams will be able TO get some CO.
operation from someone in the group sufficient to bring about
a recovery of some of the stolen goods and pay for the destruc-
ton of property.
