OUT ON A—
LIMB
by Bo McLeod
They’re bringing up new
models in automobiles again.
At least four makes will be
on display in D’ville this
week. I imagine they’ll be
seen in other places, too.
This happens every year,
and I’m glad it does, because
the auto makers and dealers
are willing to buy space in
The News so you’ll know a
bout the new arrivals. This
is a fine thing and should be
encouraged.
But the introduction of new
models has another effect. It
makes that old thing you’re
driving another year out of
date.
While Lawson Baker works
at finding out how long an
old model Chevy will keep
rolling, I’ll be doing the same
thing with a Ford.
—O—
This week we had to leave
out a goodly bit of news. We
don’t like this, but as long as
type is made out of metal,
there’s a limit on how much
can be squeezed into a page. ,■
We’ll try to get it in next
week’s issue. In the meantime
patience and charity will be
appreciated.
To illustrate how scarce
space is, we had to leave out
Mrs. F. B. Faircloth’s Desser
Dots and Dashes. Mrs. Fair
cloth does a great job of re
porting on the events in her
community, and we appreciate
her for it. When we have to
leave her column out, it shows
we’re really crowded.
Maybe we have our voting
completed for a few weeks,
art least until Nov. 3 when we
must choose ’twixt Barry and
Lyndon. Unless we have ta
runoff the runoff, and I don’t
expect that to happen.
I hope not, for I wouldn’t
know what to call it. Would
it be (check one):
a runoff runoff
a run-runoff
a runoff-off, or
undecided.
Even after all that worry,
about what to call it, it looks
like there won’t have to be
one, so thank goodness.
Hope the Lyndon vs. Barry
thing warms up soon, as we
’preciate paid political ads.
Al Ronge says there ought
to be a runoff between the
Vienna Cubs and our Semin
ole Indians, out on the foot
ball field. “If we must occupy
last place in the region stand-'
ings, we ought to have undis
puted possession of the place,
or Vienna ought to be down
there alone,” reasoned Al, the
* egghead-
Course Al isn’t ready to say
his 27-13 prediction favoring
the Indians over the Cubs was
so wrong. If the Indians had
scored when they went to the
Cub four in the first period,
and if that pass from Clayton
to Ivey for a TD had with
stood the penalty, the out
come would have matched
Al’s forecast. ‘T knew that
Vienna would steal the ball
and run 83 yards,” claims Al,
“but I thought the score
would be 27-6 when it happen
ed,” he blushed, and I don't
blame him.
What about the Vikings
and the Indians? The Semin
oles will win it, if they take
the message they learned in
Vienna and meditate on it: It
can be done, Al means. By
about 14-13, he pinpoints.
♦At least it looks mighty
like one- _ _
