OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod It’s been a little more than a year since it happened, but I’m sure most of us can re member the Cuban situation of last October. It was a tense time, though we can look back now and see there was little to fear. Right after the crisis pass ed, several people told me they had not been frightened at all. None said this during the thing, remember, but right after, something is over there are ‘brave folks all over the place. Next time it happens, I’d appreciate it if the brave boys would act brave during the danger, not afterwards. I wasn’t so nervous after it was over. It always rains at the end of a dry spell and according to that, now would be a good time for a few inches of water to fall. In times like these it’s good to have a source of sound in formation, so I consulted the handy almanac. According to Cardui, it’s been raining here since Tuesday and it will con tinue through Saturday. The first of next week will be fair, then it’ll rain again the last of next week. —O— It looks like fun for many at the Hallowe’en Carnival here next Wednesday even ing, when the'PTA presents all kinds of entertainment. Starting with a jailop sup per at 6, and continuing thru the baby parade at 9, there will be pleasant things for the entire family to eat, do and see. I’m looking forward to see ing Carlton Kelley, Roscoe Al day and Sol Guterman dressed as babies, and Les Kidd, Bu ford Quimby and Finley Perry as mamas. You don’t get to see things like this every day, so don’t let the chance pass by. —o— is to apologize to the folks out at the Rocky Ridge Baptist Mission. A few weeks ago we published a story that their pastor was attending 881 at Graceville. This was a mistake. Rev. W. R. (Dick) O’Steen ds now the pastor at Rocky Ridge, and he is a graduate of Norman College and Mer cer University. He attended New Orleans Seminary and is now studying at Florida State ’ University. This proves something that ought to encourage Rev. O’- Steen: the folks in his flock at Rocky Ridge appreciate him, and they don’t hesitate to “sound him. Here’s something I read to day, and it seems to fit a lot ,of us: “Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools Carnegie. Al Ronge notes that two teams will play in Dawson on Friday night and together they have lost 14 games this year. In a case like this, some thing has gotta give, and the team that breaks the losing string will be the one with the greater desire. Hoping for the best, Al says the score will be Seminole 13, Terrell 12. Cautions Al: Dawson will ■ be extra anxious to win, too!

Hallowe’en Carnival’s grand finale on Wednesday, Oct. 30. The “stars” will dress as babies, mamas, and even that famous Cupid who causes so much trouble. Mrs. Charles Burke is director of the pro gram, and among those who will appear are, left to right, Wink Houston, Bobby Stewart and Jabo King. Stewart will represent a New Year’s baby, while King practices his marks manship with the bow and arrow as cupid. Two winless teams collide on Friday when Seminoles journey to Dawson TWO TEAMS that have lost every game played this season will tangle in Dawson Friday night at 8:00, when the Seminole Indians meet the Terrell County Green Wave. Between them, the two groups have lost 14 games, and this has to be a battle for possession of the celler of region IB west. The Indians hold the longer losing string, though, as they have not tasted victory in the past 21 games. Coach Denvard Snell says he will open with a team com posed of nine sophomores and two freshmen. He says the starting line will be all sophs, and two freshmen, Sid Shing ler and Larry Grant will be in the backfield. The other backs will be Ray Smith and Mike Bowen, both sophomores. Coach Snell says the team has looked better and shows much improvement since he started using more lower classmen, and he believes the team will continue to improve because of it. Grant, Smith and Shingler moved the ball well in losing the Cuthbert game last week, and Bowen appeared to have more confidence at the quar terback slot. POSTAL RECIPTS SHOW INCREASE AGAIN Postmaster O. M. Roberts reports another increase in receipts at the local post of fice. Roberts says the first quar ter of the fiscal year shows sales of $15,282,83, compared to the same period of last year, which had sales of $12,- 897.99. Roberts says this was an increase of 18.5 percent, and , brings total sales for the calendar year to $39,700.28 DONALSONVILLE (GA.) NEWS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1963 The use of “rookies” is also necessary because of injuries. Fullback Lawrence Davis is not fully recovered from the injury he sustained in the Hahira game but he may see .'some action against Terrell. | Coach Snell expects Daw son lineup to weigh about the same as Seminole’s. He says They’ll be scrapping to gain a win, too, so he expects no easy time of it. I ANOTHER EASY ONE! Does it seem to be getting easier to recognize the “m"stery” picture each week? It should. ! This week’s guest is so well IBwell known, and looks enough like he when this picture was * no clues be given. Guess his jgf and have iFk 'it in The i\ews office in writing by noon on next Tuesday, and you’ll have a chance toward winning a two-year subscrip tion to The News. Members of the person’s immediate family are not eli gible, and previous winners cannot win again. No other restrictions, so try your luck. A dozen people guessed cor rectly on Jabo King’s picture last week. Mayor Arden Par ker drew the winner’s name from that dozen, and I. E. Gibbons has a free subscrip tion because of it. I Thanks for trying! —Ed Baby contest is feature attraction of PTA carnival coming Wednesday A “BABY CONTEST” will be the feature event of the even ing on Wednesday, Oct. 30, when the Seminole County PTA Chapter presents its Hallowe’en Carnival.
