OUT ON A—
LIMB

This is certainly n-ot intend
ed as a complaint, so if no
thing can be done about it
it’s all right. The situation
is not really bad but if we
can make it still better, that’s
the way to progress, I some
times figure.
I want to suggest that the
people up at the paper mill
try using a little more Air
wick in their receipe for
mash, stew or what ’cha call
it that they use making pa
per. If this doesn’t work, may
be they could all a little
cologne or parfum in it, so the
odor will turn to fragrance
and: it’ll help appetites in
stead of kill them.
We w r ere told several
months ago that the way to
react to the smell of a paper
mill to to “play like” it’s
money you smell. It means
people are working and mak
ing money, and some of it is
sure to wind up in Donalson
ville.
I agree with this, and like
I say, I don’t want to be
complaining. I just want to
be helpful, and if we can
have a paper mill that smells
like a rose, why not ?
—o—
will be a benefit
bridge meeting in Moseley
Hall this evening, and I ex
pect a lot of our folks will be
there, shuffling, dealing and
moaning about hard luck.
I know it would be a good
seivilce to our readers if I
would tell you in a few words
how to play the game, .but
I’m pot ready to do this. It
will take a little more re
search before I can supply
you with any real infoifM[
Right now, for example; rm
working hard to discover the
procedure to use to turn all
the cards the same way. It’s
clumsy trying to hold 13
boards with some turned side
ways, other straight up.
In the meantime, the only
real clue I can give you about
bridge is, don’t ask anybody
to “gimme all your Ginger
bread Men”. That’s another
game, though just about as
complicated.
Go on up to Moseley Hall
tonight and have fun. A short
cut to being the expert is to
keep a stern expression on
the face. Then the others will
marvel about what a serious
player you are, because that
seems to be the main dif
ference between the novice
and the old timer.
I’m not trying to plan your
week for you, but I hope
you will be able to go to the
football game Friday night.
It’s the last time out for the
Indians of this season, and
they deserve a final expres
sion of your interest in them.
I know about the times
our boys have lost. I’ve seen
most of them, so I haven’t
forgotten. Still, I keep the
idea that there’s a lot more
to this thing than simply
getting more points that the
other team.
If we are to be blind to
any but a team that out
scores the opposition, we are
to be pitied.
A lot of hard work and
tough knocks have been en
dured by our lads this year.
If you appreciate this, you’ll
be at the game.
By the way, on the way,
how ’bout some pancakes?

Seminoles to end football season by
playing Graceville here Friday at 8
THE SEMINOLE Indians tackle an out-of-state foe Friday
night in the final game of the football season. Graceville,
&MgMgspnes to Seminole Stadium at 8:00 o’clock.
Tigers have
Ron two, lost three and tied
one. They have scored only
57 points in those six games,
but their defense has been so
tough only 26 points have
been scored against them.
Only Chipley scored on the
Tigers on a sustained drive.
The Indians are also de
fensively inclined, so the out
look is for a low scoring af
fair with possible breaks de
ciding the winner.
Coach Denvard Snell says
he expects the Tigers to pass
the ball a lot, and altho a 23-
game losing streak gets pret
ty discouraging, he is not
ready to concede the game to
Graceville.
“We’li be doing our best to
PANCAKE SUPPER ON
FRIDAY
The pancake supper spon
sored by the Lions club will
be held Friday evening, from
5:30 to 7:30 p. m., says T. W.
Beauchamp, chairman.
The supper will take place
in the elementary school’s
lunchroom.
. Beauchamp says the plan is
for people to be able to at
tend the supper, then go on
to the football field in time
to see the Seminole-Graceville
game.
The school band will play|
during supper, and a number
of gifts will be presented with
each adult ticket.
Proceeds will be used to
help finance the club’s com
munity service projects, in- 1
eluding the band fund, junior
baseball, sight treafcnent and
conservation and others.
The public is invited to at
tend. Plates will cost sl. for
adults and 50c for

get in the win column,” the
coach said. “Since this is our
last chance this year to play
consistent ball for four quar
ters, maybe our boys will de
cide to take advantage of it.”
Snell was referring to his
team’s habit of playing inspir
ed ball for a while, then let
ting up for a while, the r esukt
being nine losses in as many
games this year.
And despite the fact that
the last game is at hand and
there is need for extra prep
aration for it, Snell says his
practice plans were thwarted
this week because so many
players were absent.
“We can’t get ready for a
game when all but 14 of our
players fail to report for prac
tice, and we just may use the
14 who came,” he said.
In Gracevile last year, the
Tigers won the game 14-12
in the first meeting of the
two schools.
The Seniors
Snell’s seniors on this year’s
team are Allen Lewis, Gerald
Miller, Don Wright, David
Cliett,- Harry Cobb, Johnny
Reynolds and Lawrence Da
vis. All others are expected
back next year.
Bands to Play
The SCHS and Graceville
bands will perform at the
game.
The Graceville band is Re
ported to be much improved (
over last year, and the Sem
inole band has contributed .
much to the football season :
now closing.
