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 It makes that old thing you’re driving another year out of date.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- _ _ Smtalflntnnllr Nrtnd Single Copies: Ten Cents VOLUME XLVI I' v . j I I > JML / t R&UW ' iTw w-> .■ MF wh fffliuKL X & J J liOllaSF JMB w • ts ' I HiL aFS BAND LEADERS—These young ladies will be leading the SCHS band when it per forms Friday night during the Randolph-Seminole football game.

Still Looking For a Win The Tribe will still be look ing for its first win in over two years, but the tie with Vienna’s Cubs last week did a lot for the team’s morale, and they’ve had some spirited practice sessions this week, says Coach Denvard Shell.
