OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
This is no time for modesty,
but I must admit I don’t
understand something.
They pass a bill calling for
the federal government to
dictate how a man can oper
ate his business, those he can
serve, and those he can hire
and fire, and call it a “rights”
bill.
I don’t see how it gives
“rights” to anyone. Looks
more like it’s a take away
of rights from everyone.

We have a copy of the
January 2 issue of The
Early County News in which
was reprinted a report of a
football game between Blak
ely and Donalsonville that
was played in November of
1929.
It’s too long for us to copy,
but I’m holding it in case
some of you would be inter
ested in coming by and seeing
it.
Among the D’ville players
were Howard, A. Armstead,
Hornsby, B. Mosely, Martin,
R. Hodges, H. Hodges, E.
Mosely, E. Hodges, Saunders
and U. Armstead. B. Mosely
was captain of the team.
They didn’t use first names
then, so I don’t know exactly
who the players are (or were)
since the game was played be
fore my time.
It was a “normal” game,
tho, because Blakely won it
7-0.
Another sports item:
“One of the more memorial
sights was Sen. Julian Webb
in sanguine red socks, tight
tee shirt, tennis sneakers,
grav hair, and the Senate s
special long - white drawers
with superimposed red
hearts* • •
Thus reported John Logue
in The Atlanta Journal’s ac
count of the basketball game
between the Senate and the
House Monday night. The
game was played to benefit
the Heart Fund which might
have a few new causes to
cure because of it.
According to Logue, the
House won over the Senate
15-8.

Still another sports note:
I don’t see why the fans
should be expected to sit in
silence when a player is mak
ing a free throw. If it “bugs’
a boy or girl to have folks
veiling, he or she should lie
at home reading Jack and
Jill.
But let’s face it. You have
to ride with the lads in charge
sometimes. If they think you
’ought to be quiet, the wise
thing is to be quiet.
The “contest” to uncover
the words—if any—to The
Bird’s the Word, is hereby
over. There were a few com
ments but no entries, so Im
going to make one more offer:
A free “It’s a Boy” cigar to
the first disc jcckey promis
ing to use a little more taste
in the “songs” they play.
There’s another word toi
the Bird, I’ll tell you.
The season ends Friday
night. Go up and applaud our
bovs and girls who have play
ed'basketball for us this sea
son Thev’ve done great work,
and we should tell them so.
The best way to tell ’em?
Go, <nd watch them play!

STOP POLIO SUNDAYS
LITERATURE IS NOW
AVAILABLE
Literature is now available
which explains the details of
the coming Stop Polio Sun
days campaign in Seminole
County, says Herb Crosby,
chairman of the Lions Club’s
SPS committee.
This literature will be dis
tributed to every family in
the area, Crosby said, and it
is expected that it will answer
all questions.
Crosby says the project
will include three Sundays on
Which the Sabin polio vaccine
Will be given on small lumps
lof sugar The first date is
Sunday, March 1, and others
are Sunday, April 5, and Sun
day, May 10.
Crosby stressed the fact
i that the vaccine will be given
in “feedings”, and not by
needles. He also said it will
take only a few minutes to
receive the vaccine.
Clinics will be set up at the
school buildings in Iron City
and FDR communities, at Se
minole County High School
and Seminole Training School.
The sponsors are working
for 100 percent participation
in the project, as a “knock
out” blow against crippling
polio. This is why the vaccine
is being made available to
everyone, he added.
Dr. Robert Starling, medi
cal chairman, says everyone
should take the protection,
even those who have already
had the “shots”. And he re
peated the opinion that there
will be no aftereffects or re
actions.
“This type of vaccine has
been proved by millions of
people over the world. It is
odorless, tasteless and even
diabetics, pregnant women
and mildly sick persons can
take it safely,” Dr. Starling
said.
The project will cost several
hundred dollars, Crosby not
rd. This is being backed by
the Lions club, and sponsors
hope to recover the invest
ment by collecting “contribu
tions” of 25c per person for
each feeding.
“This is much cheaper than
it would cost for your family
doctor to administer the vac
cine,” Crosby said. “We want
to -emphasize, too, that any
one who cannot give a quarter
should come take the feeding
anyway. We want everyone to
have this protection, whether
they can contribute or not.”
$3.00 a Year in Advance
i trict. Incumbent was W. A.

Doster is a graduate of Se
minole County High School.
He served in the army for 20
years and retired three years
ago. He has been farming and
operating a meat processing
plant.
