OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
One day it looks like the
nation’s armed forces could
not get Kennedy out of office,
the next day it looks like the
same forces couldn’t keep him
in there.
One cheerful thing happen
ed within the past few days,
to make the presidential elec
tion outlook a little clearer,
and a lot more appealing.
This was when Richard M.
Nixon made it pretty plain he
wasn’t intending to a candi
date for the GOP nomination.
He still has aspirations, but
little chance.
Things are bad, but not
so bad for the nation to have
to face the danger of Dick’s
posing as a serious candidate
again. It was one of his few
attractive acts when he issued
the statement to deny any
plans for running.
Unless the GOP is planning
on losing the race again,, then
Dick would be a natural. He’s
lost enough to be an expert in
the category.
—o—
are in or
der for Luther Spooner, upon
his being elected a director of
the State Farm Bureau Fed
eration. This is a high honor
for Spooner, and for the coun
ty he calls home.
Luther has served two
terms as president of the lo
cal chapter, and many terms
as a director here. It is good
to see him gain recognition
statewide for his interest in
the bureau.
Heard some folks talking
the other day about how good
our school band is, and they
were estimating how many
of the folks attending the
football games did so mainly
to hear the band.
The band deserves all the
praise it gets because it is an
outstanding outfit, indicating
a lot of hard work. But the
arguement over how many
went especially to hear the
band is of little merit, because
both the band and the team
are parts of the same talented
student body and representa
tives of the same school.
There is room in the sys
tem for outstanding baseball,
football and basketball teams,
and for an outstanding music
program. When one particular
group get a little credit now
and then, it should be consid
ered* credit for all of them.
To place one above the oth
er in favoritism is as wrong
as for a parent to favor one
child over the other.
But since we’re speaking of
the band, the program looks
like a big compliment to Hun
ter Parker for starting it, and
Robert Strickland for taking
it and improving it.
We ran into a bit of hard
hick with last week’s issue.
During the run, the packing
on the press failed us, and tne
pictures were too dim to see
clearly.
The problem is to have im
pression strong enough to ex
ert tons of pressure, yet not
be an ounce over, for the pa
per this is printed on is very
easily torn. .
It takes deep thinking, hard
work and luck to hit the right
combination, you see.
Oh, there’s a little more to
this trade than coffee breaks
and listening to people «.ea
you how to run the place.

Two robbers hit
grocery store
Two men robbed Morris
Grocery of $253.00 on Tues
day afternoon, and they have
not been captured.
An earlier report that the
pair had been arrested m
Dothan proved to be in error.
The couple in Dothan was ar
rested for another reason, and
was a man and a woman.
Thomas Morris, owner of
the store, says the two men,
appearing to be in their early
twenties, came into the store
about 4:00 o’clock. Only Mrs.
Morris and Gail Morris, 15,
were in the store.
One of the men asked for
two packs o f cigarettes.
While Mrs. Morris turned to
get them, one of them drew a
pistol and held it on her while
the other took the money
from the cash register.
Morris says the men had
been in the store earlier, but
other people were there, too,
They returned when they
found the store empty.
Morris says he has been
told the men had been in

points. Climax had first pos
session of the ball and held on
to it so carefully only two
points were made during the
opening period.
Things picked up a little in
the second period, so the
halftime score favored the
state champions 13t3, and at
the end of the game the
Squaws won 46-18.
In the boys game, the In
dians were “very ragged” be
cause of their lack of practice
time since the end of football
season, but they managed to
win 68-64 in a contest that
was not decided until the clos
ing minutes.
Climax held a three point
lead at the half.
Replacing finesse with de
termination, Jere Tillman’s
lads made their opener a win
through team effort.

GUESS THESE NAMES
Here are two young lads
see them just about every
who are now grown and active

are brothers.
Guess both names correctly

ward winning a two-year sub

poorly printed, we’re giving
an “extra added” contest this
week. Look inside this issue
and see if you can identify the
lady there. —Ed.
