OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod ; i 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? Bmialfimtutllf Nma Single Copies: ."en Cent?

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 Beahchamp said. ' 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. * * * BASKETBALL SEASON TO OPEN IN CLIMAX TUESDAY As football fades away, I basketball takes over the : scene, and the SCHS boys i (continued on back page) I < New hickory mill to be in operation December Ist; to employ 10 people A NEW INDUSTRY will be in operation here by the first of December, and about ten local people will be employed.
