OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
All over the land, young
people with caps on their
heads and gowns on their
backs will sit quietly . while
a speaker tells them various
things.
They’ll hear about what a
great big world this is, how
it is filled with challenges, op
portunities, and the means of
meeting these things. They’ll
be told that life is a game iq
which hard work and honesty
are the only weapons that will
endure and pay dividends.
And this is true, as far as
it goes.
The truth is that this year’s
graduating classes will not be
told everything about the
world they are about to enter
and for good reason. If they
knew all the gory details,
they’d probably want to re
fuse the diploma and start
moving back to where they
started, going from grade to
lower grade until they were
back in the high chair. There
they would stay.
This is a curious world,
even to those of us who have
lived in it all our lives. Thank
goodness reinforcements are
arriving, and maybe they can
take over quickly and make
some sort of sense out of it
all, before it’s too late.

Kennedy has
been named father of the
year, and I’m not a bit sur
prised. Just about any mem
ber of the Kennedy family
could qualify for this title,
but I can’t help but hope the
designation is effective for
’63 only.
About the current “civil
rights” uproar, one observer
says the white people might
be smart to settle for an
“equality” basis with the agi
tators.
I guess when we are ail
equal, any of us will have as
much pull with the Kennedys
as the Kings, Abernathys,
et al. This will definitely be
a promotion for many.
—o—
don’t know any of the real
answers to the “race” pro
blem, all I can add is this
question:
How on earth will stirring
up hard feelings via shoving,
throwing, cursing, court deci
sions, etc.) make the two
sides closer. If this works, we
won’t have any throuble get
ting along with the Russians
and Chinese.
—O—
That young fellow who set
a temporary record by mak
ing “all the outs” for his
team in little boys baseball,
has been playing the game
long enough now to be able to
tell his favorite part of the
game.
He says he likes best the
times when his team “gets
the third out” on the other
side and “we all run to the
fallout shelter.”
I guess he means dugout,
but I’m not sure. This is a
special kind of ball this lad’s
playing.
Darn it, I could keep up
with Uncle Sam better, if he
didn’t have such an edge on
me in the rules making cate
gory.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you
could solve your budget wor
ries at home, just by voting
to raise the limit ?
