OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod I’m not one to try to tell the Methodists how to run a church. I don’t even try to tell the Presbyterians how to operate very often, and good ness knows 1 they could use a little advice, especially in the upper echelons. Rev. J. Howell Perry gave me the clue several years ago, about the coming and going of preachers. I was telling him I was sorry to hear he was leaving our town, and, be sides, how were the Baptists here going to get along with out him? I asked. Without much of a smile, he told me, “If the Lord calls me to go away, He’ll call an other to take my place here.” And he was right. What’s more, if I say I’d like for Bro. Erwin to stay a while longer, Bro. Knight is liable to think I’m trying to keep him from coming. This is not wihat I mean when I take a few seconds of my own time to deplore the departure of the Henry Erwins. In case Bro. Knight shoots something more deadly than a bow and arrow, let me hast en to say that I’ll miss the Erwins because they have been important citizens to our community. They could not keep their field of influence bound by denominational lines and they were available for worthy things within and without the doors of their own church- A Bro. Knight may be the same kind of person, but the thing that really counts is he doesn’t- have more ‘gal’ type children than I have. That makes a difference, friends. I like to test my old reliable memory once in a while by dialing the number as I re member it, without checking the phone book. I do all right lots of times, but once in a while I guess Jeff Spooner’s equipment makes a mistake- x Just then I tried dialing the city clerk’s office, and Moore Funeral Home answered. Our city fathers are evi dently dead serious about this garbage fee system. Look in side this issue, read the ordi nance there, and you’ll see it’s a pretty strong thing. It says there that if you won’t or don’t or can’t pay the garbage collection charge, the city can sell your proper ty at public outcry to satis fy said charges. I guess the thing is reason able. If you don’t pay your water bill they can cut off your water and sooner or lat er in this kind of weather, you’ll get thirsty enough to settle up. If you don’t pay for garbage collection there is no way for them to bring your garbage back, so I sup pose they have to have a lev er of some kind. But it seems cold and cruel, to threaten a man with the seizure of his possessions for such a small crime or sin as failing to contribute to the garbage gatherers fund. Wonder if LBJ considers a situation like this a part of his War on Poverty? Some how that ‘War’ and garbage seem to kinship. It’s just too dam hot to spend energy complaining a bout how hot it is, ain’t it?
