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!
