OUT ON A ...
LIMB . .
(by Bo McLeod)
So the Fourth came and
went, and from what we hear
from the podice folks, you’all
behaved right sensible-like, as
you always do, as far as that’s
concerned.
Os course there are reasons
why the traffic toll was so
low over the state, and prob
ably the main reason was
Governor Griffin’s orders to
catch those reckless drivers
with whatever methods were
necessary, even to hiding be
hind bushes, etc.
I haven’t heard one person
disagree with the governor on
this matter, and certainly the
Limb applauds him for it.
I never have seen anything
'“sporting” about tearing up
the highroad at dangerous
speeds, endangering lives of
innocent people, and I don’t
see how the violators are en
titled to a “sporting” chance
to get by without being ar
rested.
