OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
Now the election is oven
we can sit back and watch
the candidates removing their
campaign posters from the
trees, posts, fences, houses,
etc., where they put them.
I’m sure all the aspirants for
office will enjoy doing this;
too, especially the losers.
There is nothing as futile
as the grin that remains on
the poster after election d#y,
•when the gent pictured there
was “snowed under” by his
opposition.
—O—
This next item seems to be
in order right here:
Thomas M. Novak has been
charged with practicing medi
cine without a license. He has
been released on bond and his
is “one of the most fantastic
stories of deception in the
state’s ((Michigan’s) history,”
according to the attorney gen
eral of that state.
Lawmen became suspicious l
of the fake doctor when they
noted he had collected only
$150,000.00- in his four-year
stint as an M.D. ; ‘
Or maybe he didn’t get
angry enough when someone
staid Medicare.
—O—
I would not like to stay at
“cuts” with those folks, so I
want to apologize to Mrs.
Williams and her kindergart
en. I was supposed to tell you
folks the program opened for
the new term on Friday, Au
gust 28. I “boogered up” and
forgot it somehow, and I am
sorry, kids and teachers!
As we go to the press and
-hone itrun®, Hurricane Dora
ha;i not yet appeared. We
are not in the path of the big
blow, but high winds and rain
were predicted because of the
storm.
If Dora did nothing else,
she (or it) really put our
farmers to working like crazy
as they tried to harvest the
cotton and peanuts before the
rains. It had it’s effect on the
field hands. One of them said
“Hurricane or no hurricane,
I cain’ hurry no faster.”
Jack Brannon had hard 1
luck the other day, but he,
and Polly would be pleased to
know the amount of obviously
sincere interest folks have
expressed in his condition.
Jack is a relative newcom
er to our town, but folks ap
preciate the way he has al
ways been willing to get in
there and work and scrap for
Donalsonville.
Al Rouge was not pertufb
ed too greatly when the In
dians went against his fore
cast and lost to Blakely last
week.
“These things happen noiw
and then in the predictioning
trade, and I try to move on to
something else, when I make
a mistake,” Al reasons.
No crying over spilt milk
for Al, he just slams the bot
tle dow-n in the middle of it.
So what a politician he’d
make, his friends tell him- He
stands this remark off by
saying he’s planning to run
for the Senate, but not until
he finds a nice, easy state,
like Bobby di<L_.

CHANGE ABOUT—Following the Blakely game, Coach
Denvard Snell has made several changes in the lineup,
and this group is no longer the starting backfield. Under
the new assignments, left to right, Jack Ivey remains at
righthalfback; Luke Spooner moves from fullback to the
right guard slot; Mike Bowen is now lefthalf, and Bruce
. Baker is taking Bowen’s place as quarterback.
Seminoles to play Bainbridge B team
in Seminole Stadium tonight at 8:00
THE SEMINOLE Indians will be a new team tonight (Thurs
day) when they play host to the Bainbridge ‘B’ team in
Seminole Stadium at 8:00 o’clock.
The game is in place of the
open date on the schedule. It
will be a regulation game, and
admission prices will be SI.OO
for adults, and 50c for stu
dents, the regular prices.
The school band under di
rentor Robert will
appear and perform.
Coach Denvard Snell has
mp.de a new arrangement of
his players for the Bainbridge
B’s. The shifts include the
moving of Luke Spooner from
fuUbabjc to right guard; Paul
Brimlov from right end to
fullback, with John Pumphrey
taking the job at right end.
Bruce Baker will be the quar
tertxack, and he will replace
Mike Bowen who changes to
left half.
Snell says he hopes the ad
justments will strengthen the
■lndian offense which proved (
to be weak in Blakely. “We’re
looking for a better balance,
so we can move the ball,” the
coach said.
Snell has two newcomers
on his team now. Bo Johnson,
155 db sophomore, and Andy
Alday, 1654 b senior joined
the team since the Blakely
game. Johnson is working for,
a job at fullback, Alday will
be a halfback.
The disabled list still car
ries the names of King Clay
ton and Sid Shingler and they
were joined by Cleve Bridges
this week. Bridges will be out
for “several” weeks with a
hip injury, Snell reports.
Snell expects the Bearcats
of Bainbridge to send their
second and third units to the
game.’ Beyond this, nothing is
known abo.ut the enemy.
On Friday night, Septemb
er 18, the Indians go to Vien
