OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod 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. —o— 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 —O— 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.

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.

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 OPEN SATURDAY The Cypress Park swimming pool will open Saturday morn ing at 9:00 a.m., says Den vard Snell, who will manage it this season.

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 sons were fed the vaccine on small lumps of sugar, for 101 percent. The second clinic drew 6788, or 97 percent.

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.” NUMBER 3
