OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod This is a week when we need a bigger front page. We need to give prominence to the polio project, the cattle show and the basketball teains, among others. I hope we have 100% parti cipation in the polio effort. It’s important and will take only a few minutes, tho it would be worth several hours of anybody’s time. The cattle show is always a big thing in our town. The 26th one looks like another of that type, too, and I look forward to seeing it come a long again. As for the basketball teams, we have the good fortune of having the boy’s region champs this year, and at this writing we have hopes of having a girls team in Colum bus, too. This means our coaches arid players have been doing a good job of late. It also means that we can’t say too much about it right now, because we don’t want to “booger up” anything. Suffice it to: congratula tions, Coaches Malcom and Tillman! And to each boy and girl in a green suit. We’re pleased with the way you’re playing. n__ The twist contest of next week’s cattle show should create a lot of interest again. It was one of the best parts of last year’s show. I think it nothing but fit ting, though, that the leaders of the show should lead the grand march into the Twist territory. They do it like this at other places, so I’m looking forward to seeing the line of happy, frisky twisters being led out of the starting gate by D. F. Wurst and Royce Hall. Wurst and Hall shouldnt be allowed to compete for prizes, of course. I’m depending on Finley Perry and Gyp Youmans to represent us again. Carolyn and I made our an nual sojourn to Athens last week to attend the Georgia Press Institute. We had fun, met nice people, renewed an acquaintance or two, and were made aware of how far we are from being authenic Newspaper people, again. O— I wish I had a nice picture of the Clay-Liston fight, so I could have it framed, too. —o— senate finally passed the tax reduction bill and as soon as President Johnson signed it, it meant a slight raise in pay for millions of Americans. This is because the withholding part was cut a little, leaving a little more for the take home portion. Someone has said it’s called take home pay because that’s the only place you can go with I’m glad they have reduced the taxes a little, anyw Maybe the savings can I . us pay last year’s taxes.

Young Hall is a member of the Seminole 4-H club and this will be his second attempt to gain the coveted championship of the show. First dose of oral polio vaccine to be given Sunday afternoon, March Ist THE FIRST phase of the “'Stop Polio” campaign in Seminole County comes Sunday, March 1, when the first of three doses of oral vaccine will be given. The vaccine will be given on small cubes of sugar. No need les or “shots” will be used. The medicine will be available at the school buildings in the FDR and Iron City communi ties, and at Seminole County High School and Seminole County Training School. > Clinic hours will be from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. There will be no charge for the vaccine, but each person will be given an opportunity to donate 25c for each dose, to help take care of costs of vac cine, sugar, publicity mater ials and other expenses, says Herl? Crosby, chairman of the Lions club committee plan ning the project. “We want to emphasize that while we want those who can do so to make a contribution, we want everyone to take the vaccine. We do not want any one to miss the protection if he cannot contribute, so we urge everyone to come,” Cros by said. Dr. Robert J. Starling is medical chairman of the pro ject. He says all the doctors of the community have given their approval and endorse ment of the campaign, and a doctor will be at each clinic in the county. “Doctors' realize possibly more than other people, the importance of all of our peo ple participating in this pro gram,” Starling said. Starling said he has had many questions about the pro- $3.00 a Year in Advance gram, and he would answer by saying: Everyone should take the oral vaccine, no matter if they have already had a “shot.” A person could still be a ‘carrier’ of the disease even after tak ing the inoculations. People of all ages, from three months through the “very old” should take the vaccine. The project cannot be a complete success with thorough cooperation. No Reaction Diabetics and people taking other medication can take the small, dose and the sugar with out reaction or after-effect. The vaccine has been tested by millions of people over the world and has been proved to be safe, effective and simple to administer, Starling added. Grosby said the dose is tasteless and protection can be administered in a few “minutes or less”, and there should be no waiting in line at the clinics. The chairman says that if the head of each family will have a “request for oral vac cine” filled out and signed when the group comes, the time required will be very short. j,- Mrs. J. B. Gibson is chair man of the clinic planning. Assisting will be doctors, nurses and members of the Lions club. Henry Durham is inance chairman of the pro ject. Two other feedings will be held later, Crosby added. GEORGIA POWER $6,206.35 A check foi delivtrc.i 1 Jjfl ‘.A ■ f - - i I .
