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.
