The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a'concern for what is good for the country. --Lyn.Nofzige Sunday's High Winds Damage Structure On Sunday, at around 2:00 P.M. Ms. Mary Cannon was sitting in her chair by the window when she heard a sound like an airplane circling her house. She went about her business, making herself something to eat when she heard a loud crashing sound. Living, as she does, on the Suwannee Lumber Road she first though a semi had overturned near her house. When she sat back down in her char, however, she saw her shed had had its roof ripped off. Her neighbor came over and tried to push the roof back over, but was un- able to do so. They did manage to cover up part of the shed so that the' contents would not get wet if it rained.

The blaze was reported by the staff of Old Town Rentals after they were alerted by some gentle- men who saw the flames and stopped to help. The Old Town Fire Department, and the Cross City Fire De- partment quickly brought the fire under control. The folks at Old Town Rental would like to thank the good neighbors who stopped to help prevent the fire from spreading. Their actions set an example we all can learn from. An hour or so after the fire was declared extin- guished, it flamed up again. Firefighters were dis- patched again to put the field out.
