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.
