OUT ON A—
LI M B
r by Bo McLeod
Some folks up there seem
upset 'because Gov. Wallace
of Alabama has entered the
presidential primary in Wis
consin. They seem determined
to throw all the rocks they can
find in front of his race.
I would not dispute the
right to dislike Wallace. That
is one of the freedoms we all
have, until the Congress gets
through passing their absurd
laws, then we like and dislike
as we are ordered by Wash
ington.
But it’s a bit ridiculous, the
statements some of them are
making. It makes it look like
they’re afraid of Wallace,
what he might say and do
while up there.
I have said before, I am not
a lawyer. All I know about
the profession I have learned
accidentally and by viewing
Perry Mason and people like
him on TV. Such things may
be a part of it all, but the
things the defense attorney
in the Jack Ruby trial had to
say about the judge, jury and
city of Dallas seem to be
nothing less than a childish
tantrum, no matter what the
law books say about it.
Like I say, I don’t know
what the law books say about
such an outburst, but I say,
shame on you, sore loser!
n
All of us are proud of the
Squaws and the way they re
presented us in the tourna
ment last week. They drew
many expressions of admira
tion from many people, not
only for their amazing win
loss record, but because they
were ladies all the time.
A community can be judged
by the way its young folks
behave when they get out
of town. I believe Seminole
came through the testing with
a pretty high score.

See where the men of the
Georgia State Patrol have lost
over two tons of surplus fat,
since last June when the boss
man named Col. Lowell Con
nor told them to lose weight
or employment, take your
pick.
This is a good thing the
Col. has done. It has made the
entire patrol look sharper, al
though a few of them seem
to have a little more uniform
than they need. It has taught
the troopers that there are
worse things than going a
round without a tail light,
driving a few miles over the
legal rate of speed, or failing
to stop at every little old
crossing. There’s dieting, for
instance.
I haven’t been able to find
out what system the troopers
have used to shed the fat, but
no doubt determination had a
Jot to do with it. You face a
choice of eating a little less
and enjoying it more, or eat
ing nothing except what the
unemployment money will
buy, it will help you cut down
;he calories.
The project has a goal of
next September, by which
time all the men should be
down to “normal weight,”
whatever it may be.
I can’t wait to see if all the
officers hold out, and I’ll en
joy watching them slip around
and take on a few pounds,
when no one-s lookihg. •
The next thing we’ll see is
a warning sign: This road
patrolled by radar & Metracal!

I THE FABULOUS Squaws of Seminole County High School
made a successful defense of their state “B” basketball
championship in the tournament in Columbus last week, and
they brought another state tit
It was the fourth state
crown for the Squaws since
N. P. Malcom (became their
coach 12 years ago. Only one
other school, Glennville has
held as many championships.
The Squaws made it through
the meet by defeating North
Gwinnett 65-43, Bradwell In
stitute of Hinesville 68-43,
and Nahunta 57-49.
And in doing so, they plac
ed three players on the all
state team, and two of their
members were named the
“most valuable in the meet.”
Jackie Lane was named the
most valuable forward, and
Nina Blackburn was named
the most valuable guard. Lin
da Phillips joined these two
as Seminole’s representatives
on the all state team.
The championship win was
the Squaws’ 32nd of this sea
son. They didn’t taste defeat
all year. In fact, they haven’t
lost in any game since 1962.
In the opener Thursday,
the Squaws started late, but
came on in the last period to
completely engulf the girls of
Gwinnett. Lane racked up 40
points, Gwynn Fain had 11
and Phillips made 12. Carolyn
Mims came in for two to com
plete the Squaw scoring.

! BAINBRIDGE MAN TO RUN
’ FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Maston O’Neal, solicitor
' general of the Albany Judi
cial Circuit for the past 23
years, has announced nis can
didacy for Representative in
Congress for the Second Dis
-1 trict, opposing the incumbent,
j. £. rncner.
Pilcher Already in Race
Pilcher had announced his
decision to seek re-election
earlier.
O’Neal says his decision is
i “based on the conviction that
the incumbent has neglected
the office for several years
and never fairly represented
the thinking or interests of
the Second District of Geor
gia.
“I believe that 23 years ex
perience as prosecuting attor
ney in six counties located in
the middle of the district
enable me to know the heart
and mind of the people and
that the voters of those six
counties, who regard me as a
fair and intelligent public ser
vant, will help convince those
in the other counties that I
will best serve as Representa
tive.
“In five out of six political
races I have had no opposition
and therefore no factionalism
lon a state, district or county
level is involved in my candi
dacy-. . . r ..... .
“I am running qnly
I believe I <&n‘sefrve the peo
ple well m the office.”
O’Neal’s home is in Bain
bridge.
