OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod First of all, let us get some thing straight. I am not a Johnson man or a Goldwater man. I can’t be pushed into either side, for I can’t feel comfy in either place. I have not turned over my opinion and right to choose, to anyone. When and If I de cide between two sorry choices, and when and if I decide to make it known, I’ll find some way to do it. In the meantime, w’hile all the candi dates wait with frantic fear, less I endorse the wrong one, let’s keep looking at both sides. The advertising space in The News is open to all sides and factions. We want to be of service to all, although there are certain rules we must follow. Ad copy must be clean, rational and free of libel or bad taste. We do not have to publish anything that comes along, and we will not- However, we promise to be fair and impartial as possible. It’s a disappointment to have to publish such remarks as these again, but it seems to be in order. So there. A man who can’t allow an other to hold a different opinion in politics—or in any category, for that matter—is to be pitied above many oth ers for his is a sad ailment. Khrushchev raised a few more eyebrows this week when he said the Russians have a weapon strong enough to wipe out all humanity with one blast. I imagine we have such a weapon, too, so now the only thing to do is set up some ground rules to see which side gets credit for it, if and when it happens. I re fuse to help with this. Hurricane Dora came and went and our part of the country escaped with only minor damage from rain. It could have been—and nearly was—much worse. But shuck’ens, with just a little more wind we could have qualified for some of that disaster money- It’s a shame Lyndon could not make it to the scene be fore the storm arrived, tho. Anyone who can make Hubert Humphrsy into a Southern dish could surely say Peace, Be Still, and the wind and wave would obey. All that damage would have been a verted, even that bent TV antenna in Echols County. It’s a good thing those demonstrations over shuttling school children across town are taking place in New York. This means they are not “ra cial” in nature. . If they’d happened m the South, there’d be so many marshals, marines and na tional guardsmen around, the problem would solve itself. The buses couldn’t get thru the police lines. Al Ronge, outcumbent (one of the few remaining like that!) predicts a close runoff and passoff and kickoff be tween the Indians and the Cubs Friday night, and he al so foresees an end to a sad, lonely string, b y ,°f TD’s. The score will be 2713 in favor of the Indians, deserve to be on the winning side at last, says Al, and I 2nd the motion.

Among the changes are the shifting of Paul Brimlow from end to fullback and the placing of John Pumphrey inj Brimlow’s end spot. Luke Spooner moves from fullback to left guard. Mike Bowen shifts from quarteiback to lefthalf,- and Bruce Baker takes Bowen’s, spot at the quarter-’ Jack Ivey at right half completes the starting backfield.. . . Snell says King Clayton will return to fulltime duty i Friday night and he’ll add a jlot of speed to the attack. Sid Shingler is still absent, Tom McGowan is not expected to play much because he has been suffering with a virus this week, and Augie Clayton will- start at his spot on the line. The team suffered a loss this week when Joe Hastey sustained a shoulder injury and he will be out for several weeks.

The game scheduled for last week with the Bainbridge B's was can- SEMINOLE ANNUAL IS ON SALE Orders are being taken now at SCHS for the 1965 annual. jThe full price is $3-50, or a de posit of $1.50 may be paid.

The team j threw 30 passes against Cuth bert and the weather prevent ed much throwing against Hahira. “Our boys are in good hape. except those mentioned already as injured. They seem to be in good spirits, and they have worked hard this week to get ready for Vienna. We hope to be able to ‘break the ice’ and maybe start on some thing better, in Vienna,’ 1 ?oach Snell said. Next week, the Indians play at home w’hen the powerful Randolph County Vikings* of Cuthbert come to Seminole Stadium. The Vikings have blayed two games this year, with Vienna and the Miller bounty Pirates and have won both of them.
