SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS

Light and power service Interrupt
tions of the past few days were
caused when hunters shot insula-
tors off the high lines and when a
number of youngsters at Glenwood
threw a hay wire over the line.
This put the entire load on the
local plant, and it was impossible
to carry all of it at the time.
Hence, the service Interruptions
were not caused within the city.

His Turkey Lasted All

By this time his parents blessing
had turned into a symbol little short

and grew faint every time he saw

And so. this was the state OF
affairs when Mrs. Cameron set q
platter Of golden-brown meat-balls
on the table for Mondays dinner.
George took one bite and blew his
top.
After the court had finally sue
ceeded in patching up this rift in
the Cameron family Thursday,
Judge O'Connell looked down at
the bedraggled husband and OBJ

more fortunate than those poor

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 22-
Thanksgiving, both of
them, are buried, 10 these
many days, but here is an
echo that makes a Thanks
giving story altogether timely,
George Cameron. 40, 1927 Evans
avenue, was stupendously pleased
when a crate arrived at his home
shortly before the holiday with a
big. fat 20-pound gobbler fresh from
the farm of his parents down in
Macon. Ga.
But the last Of this same turkey,
served in the guise Of "turkey-balls"
Monday at the dinner hour caused
Cameron to 60 temporarily berserk.
In fact his wife, Lulu, told Judge
William O'Connell in domestic rela-
tons court Thursday, that George
mistook her for a gobbler and at
tempted to wiring her neck.
Called to testify. Cameron shook
his head in bewilderment and
mumbled: 81 don't know a thing
about it. judge. The only recollec-
ton have is that when they said
turkey again Monday. why every
thing Just went black~
The harassed husband said he
had thoroughly enjoyed the fowl
when II graced the table November
%, the first Thanksgiving. Cameron
even displayed an indulgent smile
week later when the same bird,
somewhat reduced by use, again
occupied the middle OF his table
on the second Thanksgiving, No
vember 30.
There were also five days in the
Interim during which, according to
Cameron. the M;ssus paraded the
fowl before the family in every dis
guise from gob5ler dumplings to
turkey-ala-kiRg.
With the aid OF considerable BIZ
carbonate Of soda. the husband ex-
planned ruefully. he sat through the
ordeal and belched in submission.
He even kept silent when the bird
made its appearance again Saturday
and Eunday at which time, accord
ing to George. it looked more like
the frame of a wrecked dnigible
than something edible.
