W- THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1964 i «r By Don Wheeler 'T'YLER TURNABOUT placed ■* a tray of sandwiches on the bcJTet in the dining room and hur ried to the front door to welcome the first of his New Year’s Eve party guests. “Well, Tyler,” said Robert Ben son, ushering in his wife, “Don’t tell me we’re the first to arrive? I thought the Harrisons would be here at least.” “Nope, not them,” said Tyler with a good-natured sneer. “They live right next door, but they’re sure to be the last.” The Bensons seated themselves in the living room while their host went into the kitchen to assist Mrs. Turnabout in putting the final touches to the party preparations. The minutes ticked by and the guests drifted in, until at last they were all there, even the Harrisons from next door. “Look here, Turnabout,” said Tom Harrison as he planted his left foot squarely on the middle of the piano bench, “This is the time of year for making resolu tions. I’ve made a few myself and I’d like to know if you’ve done the same.” “Me? Made any resolutions? I hadn’t given it a thought, Tom, old boy.” “Well I have,” said Harrison, lifting his foot in the air and bring ing it down on the piano bench with a thud. Mrs. Turnabout (< Yoa f ll never stick to it, torn* about,” he said. scowled from across the room, so Harrison retreated from the piapo bench and leaned against the wall nearby, pausing only to grab up a cup of coffee from an end table as he did so. Bob Bensen, who had caught the opening of the conversation, move<S along with him. He was aware at the friendly arguments the two neighbors had indulged in over * period of several years. He kneet a trap was being set for Tylef Turnabout. “Well, Tom, let’s hear some a! your New Year’s resolutipns,” saidj Benson, pulling up a chair. He Tells All “I’ve resolved,” said Harrison, looking at Tyler, “to figure out some way to keep your dog out of my flower bed this spring. Fur* | ther, I’ve resolved to figure a plan which will make you cut your j share of the grass between our ' houses—by the way, you still have i my lawn mower from last summer —a plan that will make you shovel your share of the snow off the front walk.” Harrison gulped some of his coffee and continued, “A j plan that will keep the branches of your apple tree from hanging over into my back yard; and a plan that will keep you from using my garbage can when yours is full.” Harrison indicated a full garbage can by raising both hands above his head and as a result his coffee cup crashed against the wall and fell to the floor. Harristrri apologized for the ac tion. Mr. Turnabout seemed un concerned. Most of the other conversation in the room had ceased and the others had gathered around the two smiling. The clock on the mantle showed that it would be a New Year in five minutes. An Easy Solution “Tell you what I’ll do, Tom,” said Tyler, “I’ll make a resolu tion that guarantees you won’t be bothered by any of these things this year.” “You’ll never stick to it. Turn about!” “I guarantee it,” said Tyler with a broad grm. “All right. Turnabout. You make that resolution. If you keep it, and I know you won’t, for just three months. I’ll cut your grass for the rest of the summer. If you don’t, then you cut, mine. Agreed?” “Agreed,” replied Turnabout with an. even broader grin. “Let’s shake hands on it before the New Year, just to make it legal,” said Harrison. The New Year arrived with horn blowing, hand shaking, and kiss ing of wives and then Tyler turned to Harrison and said, “By the way, Tom, I guess I should have told you before; we’ve sold our house. We’ll be moving to the other side of town in a week! So when you come to cut my grass this spring don’t forget to bring your lawn » ! mower with you; I don’t have ono you know.’? AMOCSQI^ S.
