OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
It’s good to see that there
are people in the county with
enough backbone to refuse to
knuckle under to an eccentric
(to use a kinder word) sup
reme court.
I refer to the large number
of school officials of the na
tion who are ignoring the
court’s ruling against bible
reading in schools and have
set up plans to continue the
use of the “outlawed” book.
Thanks to our county sup
erintendent, N. P. Malcom, for
doing the same thing. Malcom
tcld me immediately after the
court’s decision that bible
reading, devotionals, etc.
would continue here, so he is
not simply following the pack?
He stood up early.
Won’t it be something when
someone is handcuffed and
carried to jail for reading the
bible? No, I’m not saying it
won’t happen.
Bible reading doesn’t do as
much as it should for one \yho
tries to believe in it. How on
earth could it be harmful to
an atheist?
-0— e
I hate to be the one to say?
it, for I am a true,-old time
fan of string music, but that
crop of things they are calling
“folks singers” today prove
some folks are a bunch of
kooks.
The term “folk” seems to
be getting abused here, and it
ought to be stopped.
—O—
Just when I had about de
cided to come out and start
campaigning for anybody who
is opposed to Rockefeller and
people like him, here comes
someone trying to sell—that’s
right, sell—-me a Goldwater
of ipVpi*
I don’t reckon I’m “for”
anybody enough to pay for
one of his campaign stickers.
Sorry, and I don’t know if
that makes me a radical right,
or a radical left, but that’s
how ’tis.
Dr. Jenkins says he is go
ing to vote for Kennedy. This
should be good news for any
of the other candidates.

Janet is spending
this week in Atlanta with her
aunt named Eunyce, helping
get things set up for the wed
ding of Fitzhugh Lee and Pam
Dobbs.
So the old homestead is a
little empty, but it’s all a part
of the growing up process,
they tell me, so I’m taking it
like a toughie.
Things have come to a hec}c
uva pass, tho, when folks
call you retarded and make
jokes at, about and over you
for missing a little member
of the trio.
The fact is, I’m not raising
little ones just to make them
big enough ’to go away. I f
that’s not the fashion of the
day, I don’t give a toot.
Here’s a note from Barbara
Jernigan Stanford of Talla
hassee :
“We teachers may not make
much more money than baby
sitters? but we like to feel that
we accomplish a little more
than just sitting.”
Well said, Barbara. W e
joke about the profession now
and then —I have a long seat
ed complex, phobia or thing
that makes me do this —but
we do appreciate the great
work school teachers do!
