The deadline for entries has
passed and there are several
people in the race for J. L.
Pilcher’s job.
We look forward to helping
them tell you about what fine
men they are, how they ought
to be elected, what they pro
mise to do, and things like
that.
Stay tuned to The News
for political information, be
tween now and September.

might be well for us to
state again a few things we
have published many times.
The deadline for entering
advertising is Tuesday noon
of the week of publication.
Ditto for news items.
Just about anything con
cerning a politician is an ad,
not a news item.
Our columns are always
open for publishing opinions
of people about any number
of things. The restrictions are
simply that each article must
be signed and free of libel or
outright falsehood. We will
not agree to publish any and
everything that might come
in, but the field is wide open

The minstrel show is over
and it brought a new “star”
to the local (loco?) scene. His
name is Murphy Kelley, and
he’s a hound proudly owned
by Gill, or vice versa.
Murphy made a big spiash
in his short appearance in the
Lions club show. There is no
telling where his talent will
take him, but I would suggest
he let it take him out of Ed
Pumphrey’s path for a few
more days.
The school band concert of
Saturday night deserves your
support and attendance. Sat
urday night is a bad night
for a concert, maybe, but
that’s when it will be, so pull
away from the TV, lake and;
or nap and go up and enjoy
the pretty music-
SCHS SQUAWS GUESTS
AT LIONS MEETING
Coach N. P. Malcom and his
state champion SCHS Squaws
were guests at this week’s
meeting of the Lions club.
Perry Walker was program
chairman.
Coach Malcom introduced
his players. They included
members of the all tourna
ment team of the Christmas
meet, Gwynn Fain, Jackie
Lane, Linda Phillips, Jose
phine Owens and Nina Black
burn. Lane, Blackburn and
Phillips were also named all
state at the Columbus state
tournament.
Others attending included
Cynthia Brookins, Glenda
Butler, Lillian Miller, Kaye
Barber, Nina Chestnut, Eloise
Miller, Sue Weeks, Brenda
Dozier, Charlotte Hawkins,
Peggy Godby, Carolyn Mims,
and Sue Reynolds, manager.
Special Award
Malcom presented a special
award to Miss Godby, citing
her spirit, team work and abil
ity. He noted Miss Godby was
the only starter who had not
been named to an all star
team, and he wanted to cor
rect the omission.
“Os course those who pick
ed the ‘stars’ did not want to
make it an aM-Seminole team,
and that’s why Miss Godby
was not chosen,” he said.

It all depends on the out

Makeup clinic for oral polio vaccine
Today and Friday at court house
A MAKEUP clinic in the public health department office in
the court house is l the last chance for the people of the
community to make a last step toward ridding the county of
danger of polio.
The clinic is being held
Thursday and Friday under
the direction of Mrs. Arthur
Reynolds. She will be distri
buting type 111 vaccine.
Herlb Crosby, chairman of
the project sponsored by the
Lions club to dispense the Sa
bin oral vaccine, says 5647
persons took type 111 vaccine
Sunday. This was 82 percent
of the population and, while
it is a higher percentage than
many communities have, still
it was nearly 1100 less than
the turnout for type 11, and
about 1400 less than for the
first feeding.
“We are disappointed in the
way the participation fell off
with each clinic,” Crosby said.
“Despite this, we consider the
project a success and we ap
preciate the work so many
people did. Our doctors and
nurses and club members gave
freely of their time in making
the project succeed.”
Dr. Robert J. Starling calls
attention again to the fact
| that people are not fully pro
tected against polio unless
they have had all three types
of vaccine. He advises all who
missed one or more types to
see their private physicians
at once, so the missed doses
can be given.
“The Sabin oral vaccine is
the best that medical science
has to offer, but it cannot pro
tect a person who has not
taken it,” Dr -Starling said.
Crosby says people who at
tend the makeup clinic today
and tomorrow will be given
Flood loss may be less than expected
THE FARMERS of Seminole County may be able to bounce
back from the flood waters of last week “a little better
than first expected,” says Ray Payne, assistant county agent.
Payne would not say the
worry is over and everyone
will wind up with fine crops,
plenty of money and a little
profit. He would go only so
far as to say things may not
be ‘quiet as bad as we thought
CYPRESS PARK POOL TO

25c per person, but this will
not be required. The money
raised in this way will be used
to heflp pay the expenses of
the campaign.
Henry Durham is serving
as finance chairman, and he
reports that contributions
have also decreased with each
clinic. He said a final report
is not yet possible, but it ap
pears that enough money will
be given to pay the costs.
In the first clinic, 7064 per

Some fields have drained,
and many farmers are able to
get into their fields to work.
Others are still halted by the
backwater from the record
rainfall.
One current trouble is that
much of the ground is crust
ed and the seed that is there
is having trouble pushing
through it.
Payne says most peanuts
will not have to be replanted,
but a large percentage of the
com must be. And the same
applies to cotton.
Some More Than Others
“Os course, some farmers
were hurt more than others
by the rain,” Payne said.
“Some will have to replant
and refertilize everything.
Others wiH be able to make a
crop out of what they have
already planted. Many are
planting much later than they
ever have, but in summary,
the outlook may not be as
dark as it first appeared.”
