DREAMS FOR 1971

be no exception. Here are a few of the events I

C001ey....A complete season, without injury, for
Henry Green and an added twenty pounds for the

Coach Bob Morrow’s exciting Pantherettes and a
State title .... Another American League batting

by .003 of a point... Major League Baseball to have
it’s greatest season ever and the Washington
Senators to win the World Series with Denny
McLain....A 30-0 record for nice-guy Tom Seaver

PROSHOWDOWN
Only four teams are left with a shot at the Super
Bowl in Miami on January 10th. Dallas via their 5-
0 squeeker over Detroit will take on the San
Francisco 49er’s, the sentimental choice, this
Sunday in the Bay City for the marbles of the
NFC.
The Cowboys, under Coach Tom Landry, have
not had a touchdown scored against their defense
in 21 quarters. Quite a feat in this age of high
powered offences.
San Francisco, guided by old pro John Brodie,
beat the best team in Pro Football last Sunday-
Minnesota-17 to 14. The Gold Diggers have waited
25 long years for this one and will be trying for the
whole bowl of wax.
This contest should be one of the best games of
the season and Tom Landry and company will
win another cliff-hanger. The Cowboys have come
so close so often... Dallas 14 San Francisco 10.
In the AFC Baltimore, a 17-0 victor over Cin
cinnati, will play host to the always tough Oakland
Raiders, who bumped off a strong Miami squad
Sunday 21-14.
The Colts have the home field advantage and
will use it to beat the Raiders for the AFC
crown... Baltimore 24 Oakland 14.

Panther Bth Nipped
By Americas 39-37
The undefeated Bth Grade
Panthers journeyed to Macon
Co. in hopes of winning the First
trophy for Perry Jr. High. Their
dream was ended by the
Americus Panthers, 39-37.
Perry trailed by as much as
10 points in the early stages of
the game, half time score was
18-15, with Americus on top.
The Perry Panthers pulled
even at 31-31 with three minutes
left to play. A basket by Elijah
King put Perry on top for the
first time 33-31. Americus tied it
33-33. Bobby Little then sunk a
free throw for Perry to give the
Panthers the lead 34-33.
. Americus was not to be
denied and fired in 4 points in a
row to take the lead 37-34. Perry
knotted the score seconds later
37-37, on a basket by King.
The Panthers of Americus
worked the ball carefully and
with less than 30 seconds to play
sunk the final basket. Perry had
two opportunities to tie but blew
a lay-up with 10 seconds left and
missed the first of a one-if-one
free throw situation. The game
was won at the free throw stripe

Pantherettes Upset 40-32
In Jeff Davis Hoop Classic
Coach Bob Morrow’s Perry
High Pantherettes are taking
off for the Holidays before
swinging back into action
against Northside January 5 in
Perry.
The Lady Cats, proud owners
of an 8-2 record to date, finished
second in the Jeff Davis Classic
held last week in Hazlehurst.
Morrow’s sextet swept into the
finals with impressive one-sided
victories before being upset by
the host team, Jeff Davis, who
won the championship 40-32.
Vivian Brown and Debbie
Murphy continued to lead the
Pantherette attack as they have
all season.

The Georgia Game and Fish Commission ad
vises rabbit hunters to use caution in handling or
dressing their kills to avoid possible infection of
tularemia, also known as “rabbit fever”. This
bacterial disease is common to small rodents such
as cotton rats and field mice, and occasionally it is
found in rabbits. Man can contract the disease
while cleaning an infected rabbit or through tick
and flea bites.
One case of the infection in humans has been
reported this year, but there is no reason to feel
that this one case is the fore-runner of a major
outbreak of the disease.
On this matter, Dr. Frank Hayes, Director of
the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease
Study headquarters at the University of Georgia’s
College of Vetinary Medicine, was contacted. He
commented, “The organism which causes
tularemia is commonly present in small rodents,
and it is transmitted to rabbits by ticks and fleas.
Since the rabbit is particularly susceptible to the
disease, outbreaks of tularemia serve as a
natural control measure on abnormally high
concentrations of rabbits where natural predation
has failed to hold down the population. Oc
cassionally a rabbit in a normal population will
become infected by happen-stance and it will
usually be quickly disposed of by a predator or by
the disease itself. If a human hunter is the
predator, he runs the chance of catching the
disease. We feel that this recent case of tularemia
is just such an isolated, unlucky incident. The
conditions are not right for a major outbreak of
the disease.”
The best method for hunters to avoid the disease
is by close obervation of their quarry. If a rabbit
seems sluggish and reluctant to run, or acts sick
in general, it should be shot and buried, with care
being taken to avoid handling the carcass. While
cleaning rabbits wear rubber gloves and inspect
the liver and spleen. Tularemia causes an
enlargement of the spleen and the liver will be
covered with many small white spots. If these
conditions are found, dispose of the carcass,
preferably by burying it Ticks are carriers of
many diseases including tularemia, if any are
found on your body after a hunt, remove them and
apply antiseptic.
Tularemia is a very uncomfortable disease, and
it can be dangerous if no medical attention is
administered. Since it fs also rare and simple to
avoid, there is no reason to give up rabbit hunting
if precautions are taken.
Burke Flexo-Products Company, Division of
McClellan Industries, Inc., has introduced a
unique “fix-it” compound called “Miracle Pat
ch”.
Miracle Patch, as the name implies, is ideally
suited for patching and repairing a wide variety of
household and hobby items, including rubber
boots, loose bathroom and kitchen tiles, leaky
tents and awnings, clothing,raised kitchen
counter tops, furniture and almost everything else
that needs mending. Works equally well on cloth,
wood, glass, or metal.
Unlike most patching compounds, Miracle
Patch is flexible. After it is applied, it bends and
“gives” with the repaired area. It is waterproof,
extremely resilient, and forms an exceptionally
strong bond.
‘Sold in one ounce stick, the new patching
material is simply heated with a match or lighter
until it begins to flow, then applied to the damaged
area. A special built-in abrasive cap has abrasive
material for roughening the surface for best
adhesion, making a stick of Miracle Patch vir
tually a pocket-size repair kit
For this reason, it should be an especially
welcome item for fishermen, hunters, out
doorsmen, campers, and others who must often
face on-the-spot repair jobs.
Housewives will find it useful for re-cementing
broken heels, pottery and china, children’s rrin
and footwear. Do-it-yourselfers will find Miracle
Patch a “must” tool for the workshop to repair
awnings, woodwork, torn screens, and dozens of
other household fix-it chores.
At a suggested retail price of $1.50 extensive
distribution is planned for variety ’
and hardware stores and departments, sporting
goods stores, drug stores, hobby stores, and
household outlets across the country. Mail Orders
•will also be filled by the factory.
