OUT ON A—.
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
I guess I shouldn’t mention
it, but after studying the
symptoms of rabies (loss of
appetite, stubborn, restless,
wanting to howl and run) I’m
afraid I have a few of them
myself. Especially on the day
we have to print The News.
—o—
Hugh Broome is now a
genuine member of the new
state hiway board. He went
to Atlanta this week, raised
his hand and said I do, I will,
I ought to, I’ll try to, I reckon,
or something like that. I’m
not sure of the response you
give when getting onto a
board like this.
Anyway, Gov. Sanders has
made a statement and I want
to sit around and observe how
it works. He has promised to
“shield and the
board members “from every
day politics’’.
Hon. Carl is an able man,
and he has shown a lot of ta
lent, but I hereby predict he’ll
fail at this efort. There just
ain’t away to immunize a
Georgian from politics.
Several months ago, a
young nephew of our Lord
Mayor named Arden Parker
asked the first lady, “Aunt
Dorothy, are all mayors fat?”
This was probably an inno
cent question, typical of a
young lad who asks questions
like this without malice. Be
cause the only mayor he knew
was his Uncle Arden may or
may not have contributed' to
his curiosity.
Anyway, new evidence in
the case of “Is the Lord May
or Fat?” came to light last
week at the gathering of mu- (
nicipal officials in Albany.
Mayor Parker and another
Mayor (from Pelham, but I’m
not calling him plump here,
I’ll let Jim Chism handle that
one) stepped on the elevator
in the hotel there and asked
to be carried to the second
floor.
The operator pushed the
“up” button and nothing hap
pened. She pushed again and
this time the elevator shook
but didn’t start going up.
She recognized the trouble
and cured it by looking at our
leader and saying politely,
“I’m sorry, but you will,
have to step off and wait unt’l
later. We’re overloaded”.
The first family up in
Washington is expecting to
receive a new member this
summer. What with elections,
appointees and advisors, and
new births, there’ll be more
Kennedy* up there soon than
veu can shake a stick at,
which is only a figure of
'joech •
1 The president may think
Fidel and Nikita and the steel
companies are giving him
trouble now. W ait until he has
to fuss with the Commies
and watch for shifty moves
bv them with Pablum m his
eves Then he’ll have trouble.
u
I don’t want a million dol
lars and I don’t yearn for
fame. Al I want to do is get
a .financial , arrange nent so
I can spend some *■ out
demonstrating for (or a
gainst) something.
I’ll never be content until
I find out who buys the gro
ceries and dry goods for those
people who don’t do anything
but tote placards, toss eggs
and sit-in at various places.

Indians play Blakely here on Friday
THE SCHS baseball Indians will go after their second win of
the season when they entertain the Blakely Bobcats in
a region IB game on the high school field here at 4:30 on
Friday afternoon.
The Indians dropped a

for their one loss. They de
feated Pelham earlier.
Admission to the game is
free and the public is urged
to attend and support the
team.
Dawson’s baseball team

inning by scoring one run,
then exploded for five more
in the seventh to gain an 11-
6 win over the Indians.
Indian errors aided Daw

costly ones. Dawson made
only one mistake.

Opening of recreation center coming
on May 18th; picnic planned for 16th
AN OPENING date has been set for the recreation center to
be operated at Cypress Park by the Donalsonville Lions
dub this summer.
Darby White, chairman of
the planning committee, says
tne center wil oplen on Satur
day morning, May 18. The
pool, concession stand and
games will be ready at that
time he says.
A community picnic is
Planned for Thursday, May
16, says White. He says tne
pool will be open on that af
ternoon, from four to six
o’clock, and no admission will
be charged. The potential
members of the center and
their parents are urged to
attend and inspect the facili
ties to be offered.
At six o’clock, a picnic
lunch is planned. The public
is invited to attend, bringing
their own lunches. The center
will provide the drinks.
After the meal, Denvard
Snell, director of the pro
gram will explain the plans
for the summer, rules and re
gulations to be required, and
he will answer questions a
bout it.
White says membership
cards and registration forms
will be available at this time,
so youngsters can enroll.
The program is to be oper
ated by the Lions club as an
attempt to provide low cost,
clean recreational facilities
for the youth of the commun
ity, White explained. “We
don’t expect to make a profit,
and chances are we will lose
a little money, and the few
charges will be set with the
idea of trying to make it self
supporting while providing
additional facilities free of
charge,” he explained.
NO EPIDEMIC YET
Rabid dog., cow found; caution urged
A RABID dog and cow have been found in Seminole County,
and the public is urged to be on the lookout for “strange
acting” animals.
Dr. John B. Davis says he
and Mrs. Emily Harlow are
now taking anti-rabies shots
following their encounter
with animals who returned
positive reports after being
tested in Albany. Mrs. Har
low’s contact was made
from a dog at her home on her
farm about two miles above
Iron City.
Dr. Davis came in contact
with the disease while work
ing with a cow on the farm
of Royce Hornsby, also north
of Iron City.
The veterinarian says there
is not yet an epidemic of
rabies, but such an outbreak
could occur. This is why he
asks all persons who note
strange behavior in an ani
mal to notify him or Mrs.
Louise Reynolds, county
nurse.
Davis says the shots are
being taken as “purely a pre
cautionary measure.” H e
notes from his own experience
$3.00 a Year in Advance
Snell has drafted prelimi
nary plans for the daily and
weekly activities at the cen
ter. Included will be table
tennis, basketball equipment,
shuffle board, volley ball,
muscle building equipment,
fishing and swimming les
sons. Organized games and so
cials will also be regular fea
tures.
The only charges will be
for swimming, for items pur
chased at the concession
stand, and a small member
ship fee. The fee will be to
enroll a youngster as a mem
ber, and this membership will
entitle him l to the use of the
facilities, White says. The
place will not be open to the
general public.
White says he continues to
receive encouragement and
offers of assistance from
many adults l , and he express
ed his appreciation for these.
“We will need cooperation,
assistance and suggestions
from everyone,” White says.
“We are not experienced at
organizing and establishing
this type of program but we
intend to do as good a job as
we can. We hope our adult
friends will feel they are a
part of the planning, for we
realize how greatly they are
needed.”
Basically the program will
be centered around the object
of providing recreational faci
lities and service for the com
munity’s young people, but
committee members have ex
pressed the desire it be a pro
gram in which parents parti
cipate, too.
that the series of shots is
painful and troublesome,
therefore the situation should
receive close attention by
everyone to prevent further
spreading of the disease.
Symptoms
Wild animals that are oth
erwise afraid of humans, who
become bold; domestic ones
that show loss of appetite,
restl ssness, vomiting, foam
ing c c the mouth, difficulty
in swallowing, fits or running
spells should be reported.
The Albany office says the
animals carried there from
Seminole are the first two
cases of domestic animals
with the disease they have
tested this year. Others have
been skunks, coons, fox, ect.
Inoculate Dogs
Dav s urges all dog owners
to be sure that animals are
inoculated against rabies. He
says immunization is simple
and could prevent unneces
sary cost or trouble later.
