OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
How sweet it is to hear
President Johnson “declare
war on poverty,” in his State
of the Union, address to the
Congress this week.
I feel like I’ve fought the
stuff singile-handedly for too
long a time, and I’m glad to
have a little help.
How the president plans to
lick the condition remains to
be seen, but I hope he realizes
he’s taking on a worthy foe.
The trouble with fighting
poverty is that it never knows
when it’s licked, but you do,
and it’s often .
And a mere “cold war”
won’t whip it, Mr. President.
Senator Goldwater has de
clared himself a candidate,
for the Republican nomination
for president. This makes two
of them, Barry and Nelson,
who have talked themselves
into running.
Goldwater is the first one*
I’ve seen who entered a race:
and started running with a
foot in a cast.
Wonder if there’s an omen
in this?
—o—
Sanders sounds like
he means it when he says he
wants Georgia to have better
schools. And like it or not,
he sounds like he means it
when he speaks of more taxes
a’coming.
Better education for our
children and their children is
more important than ever.
The next few generations will
need all the ‘book learning’
they can get, to be able to
keep up with how far in debt
their forefathers left them.
It’s going to cost more to
finance our schools, and this
is reasonable. But one of these
days we’ll frdace . that* last
straw on the taxpayer’s weary
back, and down it falls.
WORK PROGRESSING
ON NEW CHURCH
Jack Zorn, minister of the
Church of Christ, reports that
progress continues on the con
struction of a building for the
newly established Donalson
ville church.
The building is located on
the old drive-in theatre site
on the Marianna highway.
The church bought the seven
acre tract of land and has re
novated the old projecton
booth and snack bar building.
Much of the work is being
done by church members. >
Zorn says 60 people have been
contributing labor and other
things to the project.
Worship services started
two weeks ago in one of the
classrooms.
Mark Scott has been ap
pointed chairman of the
church’s business meetings,
and James R. Elliott is serv
ing as church treasurer.
The interior of the building
will be completed within a
few weeks. The front has been
designed by Claude Peacock,
professor of Art at the Uni
versity of Alabama, Zorn
said.
Because Evangelist Zorn is
also preaching twice at the
Hentown Church of Christ on
Sunday, the schedule for the
local church is : Sundays, 9:45
to 10:30 a. m., Bible classes;
10:30 to 11:15 a. m., worship
service; 7:30 to 8:30 p. m.*;
evening worship. Midweek
bible study is held from 7:00
to 8:00 p. m. on Thursdays.

County adopts project to provide
for dumping areas in each district
The Seminole County board of commissioners has adopted a
plan to establish dumping areas in each community in
the county, and for the creation of a program to collect the
trash and garbage into a central disposal facility.
Acting following a request
of members of the farm l bu
reau, home demonstration
clubs and garden club, the
commissioners agreed to a
dopt the project as an effort
to improve the appearance of
the county, as well as to offer
away to ease the problems of
garbage disposal in rural
areas.
Location of the district
dumping areas will be an
nounced as soon as the survey
of the need is completed. The
sites will be marked and pick
up from them will be made on
a regular schedule.
The dumping of trash and
garbage has long been a prob
lem to farmers whose lands
are used for this purpose, oft
en without their consent.
County employees will op
erate the trucks that will
keep the district areas clean
and the central area in serv
ice. - - -
The project is a preliminary
to a “clean up week” to be ob
served over the county in
April.
Ed Hart of Picayune, Miss.,
has been the guest of his sis
ter, Mrs. Effie Raley during
the past week.
