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 —o— 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? _n— If Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston are working half as hard at getting ready to fight as they are ait talking, it ought to be one real battle. —n— Sunday, March 1 is the first chance to help stop Polio I Snnalßimuilb Nrafl Single Copies: Ten Cents Official Organ of County ,of Seminole and City of Donalsonville, Georgia $3.00 a Year in Advance VOLUME XLV immu iiiii n ii'iii i——-' < $ S MW HUB | IP ■■BMfek Ba ----- ** WM 1 I k 1 1 1 OH ' s > NEW HOME AGENT —A new home demonstration agent has been employed by the Seminole County board of commissioners.
