OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
They say the way to tell if
anyone is reading the paper
is to make a pretty good size
boo-boo. We did, and here’s
what we heard from a student
at Tech:
Editor:
Now really, Bo; 9-oz of
sugar for only two drops of
vaccine would be a bit uneasy
to swallow, wouldn’t it? My
slide rule tells me that’s over
half-a-pound, and my slide
rule is my bestest friend.
Now please don’t cut off
my paper because of this; I’d
be lost with no southwest
Georgia ties in this Yankee
City. It’d be similar to that
guy lost in Miller’s Cave over
around Waycross.
Incidentally, if he’s so lost,
how can he moan about it
over my radio?
Keep up the good work and
keep ’em coming.
Glynn Granberry
That’s the way it goes. Let
a boy get hold of a slide rule,
and out of sight of the old
home town, and he starts
showing off.
Glynn is referring to a
story we had on the Stop
Polio Sundays campaign, two
weeks ago. In it, we said the
vaccine would be given by two
drops on a 9-Oz cube of sugar.
The correct version should
have called it a 9 calorie cube.
The point is simply that the
cube will be very small, just
large enough to hold the vac
cine. Actual calorie content,
too, is not -important.
But I may as well admit
it. A 9-oz cube of sugar would
be a pretty good size dose.
You’d have a time swallowing
it all at once.
But ne’er fear, Glynn. It’ll
take a lot more than this to
get off our mailing list. In
the meantime, stay with those
books, because you lads are
supposed to be catching us up
with the Russians, aren’t
you? You’ll never do it like
this. Forget cubes of sugar,
and study, study, studyl

Minter has been to
enough ball games, he ought
to be qualified to make such
a guess, but he seems so sure
about it, it makes you won
der about him.
Merrian says our boys will
win the tournament and go
on to the state. He also says
our girls will be playing Tur
ner County in the sub-region
finals next week.
Well, if Merrian will go that
far, I’ll go on and predict the
Squaws will win the thing.
—O—
This is a bit old, but it’s
still interesting to me:
It was the day when Paul
Anderson was in town. Young
Dee Wurst hadi heard about it,
and he asked his mama named
Pat if he could go “see Paul
Medicine?”
Probably to stall an ans
wer. Miz Foster returned by
asking. “What do you mean,
Paul Medicine?”
Dee says, “You know ma
ma. Paul Anacin?”
Evidently the youngster
has seen his share of TV com
mercials, and haven’t we all?

If Cassius Clay and Sonny
Liston are working half as
hard at getting ready to fight

ought to be one real battle.
