OUT ON A— LIMB by Bo McLeod A youngster named Luke Spooner came by this week to let us see the results of his latest hobby- He had a 10-lb coon trapped in a cage. Says that’s how he catches ’em now, since he’s outgrown the age of chasing coons through the woods at night. I don’t know what Mr. Luke did with the coon, but thank goodness he took him away from here. This place has en'ough trouble without a wild coon running around loose. —O— Politics keep holding the center of conversation, and folks are starting to take a side if not a stand. Even saw some Lyndon men the other day. They were a mite scarce for a while, but they’re pop ping up now and then. One thing about it, lam not convinced the Lyndon men are as convinced “for” • their man, as at least one Goldwater supporter is of his choice. I won’t call his name, be cause he may have had e nough time to think it over by now, and maybe he’s recon sidered his statement. He’s one of Jakin’s more prominent citizens, and over 70 years old, they say. Well, he puts his stand this a-way: “I wouldn’t vote for Lyn don Johnson if he made me 18 again!” That’s a bard saying, if he means it. @ Things keep changing on the political scene. Back in the old days the womenfolk stayed at home, out of the way and far removed from the noise of the campaign. Now they’re out in the middle of the action, pleading for votes, making promises and answering hecklers. I’m not at all sure the en try of the ladies into the political arena is a bad thing, so I’m not opposing it. They certainly add a little beauty to the election process, and we could use some. Let’s face it (ugh), the average politic ian ain’t much to look at. And of course there are ex ceptions to th is! Look inside and you’ll find three of the 14 amendments to the state constitution to be voted ‘aye’ or ‘nay’ on Nov- 3. That’ll give you something to do while you’re there to pick between Lyndon and Barry. As a part of National News paper Week, we’re happy to publish this for your informa tion and our income- Just like so many other things lately, it’s not easy to understand why the state legislature can submit parts of a constitution to the voters for approval or rejection, but not a whole constitution. Oh, to be a federal judge, so I would know all things. O Our side seems to be too busy trying to keep Barry out of the White House to do any thing about putting anybody into orbit. & Al Ronge has been in outer space, barefooted, single handed, and broke, for many years. He was there before space ships were invented, and that’s why he acts so far out, ’and that’s how come he says the score will be 7 for Seminole, 6 for Turner, come Friday night, that is.

I : Indians go to Ashburn Friday for a • IB west game with Turner’s Rebels THE. SEMINOLE Indians go to Ashburn Friday night for a region IB west game with the Turner County Rebels, t The game will begin at 8:00. ’ The Rebels will be the big gest team the Indians have ' faced this season, but they are sipending a building sea- ! son, too. They have lost four games and won one. Pelham’s Hornets defeated ■ the Rebels 14-6, and last week Fitzgerald defeated them 20- , 0. The only win by Ashburn ( was the Colquitt game, 21-7. Because of their lack of ex ! perience, the Rebels make i mistakes, and so do the In -1 dians. The outcome of the game may be decided by which team makes fewer err ors. Indian Coach Denvard ' Snell continues his search for “guards who can block.” He says he’ll start a freshman, Gary Spooner, at left guard, but he hasn’t decided on the | starting right guard. Cleve | Bridges, Tommy Cowan and Augie Clayton are competing for this job. Snell says Jack Ivey con tinues on the doubtful list. Ivey missed all of the Pelham game because of a leg injury and he will probably see only limited action in Ashburn. Paul Brimlow was “shaken up” in the Pelham game and has not practiced this week, but he is expected to be ready Friday. The team lost Don Butler this week, and John Pumph rey will take the end position Butler vacated when he quit 'the team. The other players are in good shape, Snell says, and practice sessions have been good this week. The win in Colquitt and the Tribe’s good showing against Pelham have helped the team’s morale, the coach said. Next week, the Indians play at home when Terrell County comes to Seminole SB I/.I w <1 w aßcsSwwW a**? mWwKhbbMe T. ■at jWßyjgWißr jHTUB .r-' AWARD WINNERS Six members of the Seminole FFA chapter and two former members have earned high awards in the vocational agriculture program.

It would then become a part of the state constitution, if it was approved by the voters. Because of the legal issues in volved, the voting could not be done before November of 1966.
