OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod It must be pretty discour aging for Nelson Rockefeller. He’s the only candidate in the race, yet he’s in last place. The trouble is, he doesn’t seem to know who he’s run ning against. His speeches so far read like they are being written by a Kennedy man. Someone should tell him Goldwater is not yet the pre sident, and maybe he cpuld find a few words of criticism for the incumbent. —o— wonder what kind of tele vision programs we’d have if the critics had the power to select the schedule. From the comments by some of them, there’d be a lot less viewing. It appears they like to show their intelligence by attack ing anything that entertains, and praising anything that has a few jarring words, scenes or ideas in it. Like wise they applaud everything that is boring enough to be called public affairs pro grams. They call programs l that feature certain themes and dramatize certain problems heroic, and they condemn anyone who doesn’t agree to sit there and be brainwashed by it. I like 'to read the critics’ re marks and I hope they will always have the freedom to say what they please. But I shudder to think what it would be like if they ever get control of the TV menu. —o— saw the other day where someone has “cut” or “stolen” a whole shopping week from' us, so we’d better get busy, or Santa will be standing there with an empty sack, without any goodies in it. —o— they’re trying to stir up some smoke because the state patrol has to pay nearly the same price for gasoline you and I pay. I don’t see the evil in it. I guess they’ll solve it by making all the patrol cars run up to Atlanta for a “fill ’er up” excursion. From the figures released, looks like our patrolmen are doing a pretty good job of buying the stuff. Better leave a reasonable setup alone. —o— talk continues to be about raising taxes to im prove education. This kind of propaganda reminds me of the way too many of us are about our churches. We fi gure if we drop an extra buck in the plate now and then we’re solving the problem. I don’t think we could have taxes too high, no matter what it takes to have good educational facilities and per sonnel. No levy would be too extreme, if it meets the need, but to drag out the same old tirade about more money every time the subject of schools comes up is tedious and useless. All you need for a good learning process is a good book and a qualified teacher who is more interested in the student than in getting a raise in pay. Would increasing taxes; help bring pass? Hate to be different, but I| still like those “bleep-bleep”, blades better, so there!

Seminoles head for Cuthbert Friday after splitting with Clay, Edison THE SCHS basketball teams divided games with the boys and girls of Clay County and Edison during the past week.

Lo well Conner, director of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. “It is simply a projection of cold statistics, which, unhap pily, are usually pretty accu rate. But it doesn’t have to be. For instance, the indivi dual drivers themselves, who actually cause these tragedies through carelessness and reckless driving, could knock our predictions into a cocked hat. We certainly wish they would.” Sgt. R. R. Floyd of Post 14 here, says all the personnel of the local unit will be on the highways in the seven coun ties they patrol, from Wed nesday through Monday of the holiday period. “We will not have anybody on pass or on vacation, and all available men will be on duty to attempt to make the prediction of death and in jury wrong,” he said.
