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 game to Dawson last week 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 broke a 5-5 tie in the sixth 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 son, as the locals made seven costly ones. Dawson made only one mistake. ■ Cooter Whittaker relieved starter Benny Hodges in the second inning and he was # v>" /W . * r z AL <&*** v* « «48 E&St*-. ft Brail Pl g IRK .< % HONORARY FHA MEMBERS—Two adults were presented honorary memberships in the Seminole County High School chapter of Future Homemakers of America at their annual mother-daughter banquet recently.

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. NUMBER 1
