' ' ' »v* Xr •’ 1 * ‘A 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_.
