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. n— 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!

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.
