OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
If you control your thirst
but a little while longer, our
little old hometown will be
able to satisfy you.
Just talked to the water de
partment’s big wheel, Wyatt
T. Williams, and he was brag
ging about how much water
he’ll be able to give (or sell)
to you as soon as the new tank
is ready for service. It’s going
up now on 7th street.
I don’t know what we’ll do
with so much water, but if we
can come up with a need, the
city will have nearly five
times as many gallons for you.
After all that rain of two
weeks ago, it would seem bet
ter to be installing ways to
dry the place off instead of
away to furnish more moist
ure. This will have to wait a
while, however, because I do
not know of a system that can
dry up mud holes and back
water, just by the flip of a
switch or turn of a tap. It’ll
be along one day, and when it
does I’m sure our city fathers
will be glad to assess an add
itional charge and provide it.
—O—
l’m glad to hear the city
has made arrangements to
add fluoride to the water sys
tem- This is a progressive,
healthy thing to do, and our
children deserve it.
It’s too late for fluoride to
help me, I fear, but that’s all
right. I can always get a lot
of good from all these fancy
tooth pastes. You know, if
you can’t brush after meal,
use Crust (how you gonna use
it if you don’t brush has not
been explained. I guess they
- OBpeetyeuto ■
The only person who could
suffer from' fluoride in our
water could be Dr. Ronnie E.
Harrell, tooth dentist deluxe.
At his rates this should not
be too severe, and besides, he
can always made a living by
singing Dariin’ Clementine for
a while.
Cheering thought for the
graduates: At the same time
as you receive your diploma,
you also become obliged to be
come a member of the PTA!
Oh, you don’t have to wait
until you’ve become a parent
or teacher to join. An interest
in the schools is all you need.
Now you can start working to
correct all those faults you’ve
complained about.
Gov. Wallace did it again-
He went into a “foreign” state
and drew a large number of
votes from a ‘local’ candidate.
You can agree with Gov.
Wallace or disagree; you can
say what you will about the
way he talks and acts, but
you just can’t alibi the tre
mendous support he has re
ceived in at least three Yank
ee” states. Efforts to do so
only appear absurd and ridi
culous.
To think that Wallace has
drawn so many votes in the
face of the opposition he has
had makes his accomplish
ments even more jarring.
The poor fellow, the only
thing on his side is|are the
people.
Now let’s see back and see
the new “excuses” the experts
work out for why it happened.
We could do .better in our
war against poverty if we
didn’t have to do so much
fraternizing with the enemy.
