OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
If you see a stranger in
town next Tuesday, don’t try
to start anything. He may be
Paul Anderson, and if he is,
he’ll be too big, strong and
tough to mesis with.
Os course you won’t have
any trouble recognizing An
derson. He’ll be the one who
weighs about 400 lbs., and
there aren’t too many of these
around now, thanks to calorie
counters and the high'cost of
groceries.
Let’s be serious a moment:
Anderson is a lay speaker for
the Methodist church and
operates a home for needy
teenagers near Vidalia. He
has a special message for
youngsters, and it’s the kind
of message all youngsters
should hear.
You’ll be doing a good thing
if you see to it that your son
or daughter attends Ander
son’s appearance at the high
school auditorium at 3:35
Tuesday afternoon. It won’t
cost a cent and Paul may be
able to say something that
will mean something worth
while to your son or daughter.
And chances are good you
can find some words of value,
too, so don’t just send the
kids, like you do to church.
Go with them.
It’s a rare treat for Donal
sonville to have such a dis
tinguished personality come
to see us. Let us take full
advantage of the opportunity.
Senator Goldwater has a
reputation for being quite a
cusser, and given to free use
of profanity. I’ve never been
close enough to the man to
know if the change is true,
but if he is quick to cuss,
he’ll probably find plenty of
reasons to do it 'between now
and next November.
I’m not the farm expert,
either, but I believe if I were
farming now I would have my
soil tested, and I’d do it pretty
regularly, too, in case there
might be a change.
After going up to the
school house and bating chick
en thanks to D. F. Wurst, I
enjoyed hearing Dr. Frank
Boyd, of Boyd’s Tank, he
said, Ala., talk about how im
portant soil testing is, I am
now a believer in it.
According to Dr. Boyd, and
it all fit the way he put it
together, a man has no busi
ness farming without testing
his soil, for he’s doing it in
the dark.
The “make it pretty” fever
has hit Harvey Implement
Company, too, and our town
will benefit from it. They’re
putting in a fancy, modern
looking glass front and plan
other improvements, too.
It’s open season on our
county politicians now, and
each citizen has the chance to
toss his hat into one of the
many rings.
I’m delighted to announce
again that I am not a candi
date for anything.
Won’t it be something if,
after millions of people go
through the agony of Quit
ting,’ the government comes
out with a report to super
sede that one about cigarettes
causing ills and ailments.
One saying cigarettes are
good for you, I mean!

Cuthbert will not be a region foe in either contest be

All opponents except Cuthbert are B schools. Gone are
