Soothsayers Eye New Year
Predicting events of a new year can be likened to choosing
an All-American football team before the season starts. Both
have become popular pastimes in some quarters by those who
qualify as authorities or self-styled experts.
But, just as a football season has its unexpected turns of
events, So does each now year as it unfolds, and the tendency
is often to make the prophet look a bit ridiculous.
The only way for such prognosticators to avoid being caught
too far out on a limb is to deal in generalities. One eminent
economist predicts, for instance, that the Negroes will make
gains in 1904, but adds cautiously, "However, the attitude of
the people must change first." He predicts there will be no
World War in 19G4, and boldly declares that the national
deficit will be greater at the end of 1964!
For a number of years this newspaper has subscribed to
a column from an "expert" to be published at the start of
the New Year, but it was passed this year on the theory that
most anyone could make such general statements which could
scarcely be wrong.
The most significant occurrences cannot be predicted. For
Instance, who could have foreseen that President Kennedy
would he assassinated, bringing tremendous impact and change?
The history-making events of any new year essentially re
main mysteries at its inception and unfold only with the passing
of each day, bringing both good news and bad.
However, there is something to be said for the prognosticators
even if they are not 100 per cent accurate in reading the tea
leaves at the start of the year. They do bring up some inter
esting topics for discussion and contemplation, and they often
instill some hope for a brighter future for the populace, at the
same time listing cautions, however general in nature, that all
may profit by heeding.
So it could be that the Gazette-Times is wrong in not sub
scribing to such a column this year.
But somehow we're, reminded of the facetious slogan that one
often sees: "Cheer up, things could be worse. So I cheered up
and sure enough things got worse."
It might be said, though, that most of our populace tends to
be optimistic. As each old year leaves the passing scene, most
are glad to see it gone and look forward to the coming year
with the feeling that better days lie ahead.
In the style of the experts, all might point to 1964 witli
anticipation, saying, "The new year of 19G4 will turn out
better than 1963 if it isn't worse."
One-Shot
Roscoe
As Told By
ORVILLE W. CUTSFORTH
Old Roscoe was quite a bear
hunter. He killed lots of bear
in his day but I think the out
standing accomplishment was
the one he rode down the moun
tain and killed with a hatchet.
He was gathering his traps in
1he spring of the year in the
head of Hock Creek near where
Parkers Mill is now. Ho was rid
ing a horse and leading a pack
horse, loaded witli his parapher
nalia, traps, clogs and so forth.
He looked across the canyon and
saw something sticking its head
out of a hole.
He stopped his horse and look
ed sit it and he determined it
was a bear sticking its head out
of that hole, coming out of hiber
nation. So he pulled his rifle out
of the saddle scabbard and he
shot this bear in the head, and
the bear fell in the hole. Roscoe
went over there and there was
a big dust in tills hole and he
listened to the bear thump
around and the bear quit thump
ing so Roscoe got down on his
hands and knees and crawled
in the hole. He reached down
there and he found the bear.
He could feel the bears' foot
and the bear was apparently
dead. He could just feel the hind
leg so he crawled back out of
the hole and went on back over
to the horses. He wondered how
he could get the bear back out
of the hole in order to skin it.
Well he took the wires off the
traps that he had wired the
clogs to the traps with and he
twisted tlnin together making a
sort of a cable.
He took his hatchet and went
back across the canyon and he
crawled down the hole and fas
tened the wire to the bears hind
leg. Then he cut him a sapling
and fastened the wire around the
sapling and used it as a pry.
Each time he lifted on the end
of the pole he could drag the
bear out 1 to G inches. He kept
this up until he pulled the bear
out of the hole. Well, lie had
the hatchet in his hand and he
cut the wire loose from the bear
and he straddled the bear and
he reached over and took it by
the scruff of the neck and lifted
its head to see where he had hit
it with the rifle.
There he saw the bullet had
struck the bear's forehead and
just glane d off. cutting a fur
row. Hi' looked at that and won
dered why that would kill that
hear and there he stood strad
dling the bear, holding it by the
scruff of the neck witli his
hatchet in the other hand and
the old bear says, "Woo f," gath
er; d his front feet under him

and took off down the mountain,
Roscoe riding him. Roscoe fig
ured that pretty soon this bear
was going to realize that lie was
up on top. He knew lie had to
kill this hear with one lick of
his hatchet. It was an old shing
ling hatchet and when Roscoe
was ti lling me he reached over
and picked up the hatchet and
fingered it and went through the
motions with his hatchet in his
hand.
Well, lie struck one blow to
the middle of this bear's fore
head and he buried the hatchet
in the bear's head and killed
him.
He said, "You know as we went
down that mountain, that bear's
hind legs were racking the calves
of my legs. You know I thought
that was the tallest bear that
I ever did see."
Chaff and Chatter
Wes Sherman
THE HOLIDAY season is a fit
ting time to contemplate the
warmth and neighborliness of a
small community, and we have
noticed some pretty nice exam
ples lately.
One is the benefit bowling
tournament that was sponsored
for Shirley Cox who is soon to
undergo serious heart surgery.
It was conceived by friends as
a spontaneous gesture of affec
tion and sympathy.
Response to the tournament
was excellent with a full com
plement of keglers on hand for
both Sundays. As a result Shir
ley has a good check which is
material manifestation of the
goodwill of her friends, but she
may well feel that their thought
fulness is considerably more val
uable than the proceeds.
The whole community extends
best wishes to her as she is
about to go to the hospital and
looks forward to the time that
she will be back at the lanes
again.

pital. There was no one available
to take care of his prescription
departent. So who does it?
Jim Myers of the competing
Phil's Pharmacy, already busy
in his own store, did double
duty and spent half time in each
store, getting up Rod's prescrip
tions for him and then dashing
back to his own store to take
care of his own.
Where, but in a small com
munity, do you find that kind of
neighborliness?
Report late Tuesday is that
Murray is showing improvement
but his condition has not yet
been diagnosed for sure. It was
first suspected to be appendicitis,
but later did not appear to be
that. He was scheduled to under
go X-rays for further diagnosis.
We wish him a speedy recovery.

bride.
Lisa, a little perplexed by it
all, came to her dad bearing the
flowers after noticing all the ex
citement about it and asked with
a puzzled frown, "What's so
great about this?"
Dad confided later, "I'm glad
she doesn't know at that age."

time with many photos of her
in many papers, coupled with
dinners, TV appearances and so
on.
She tossed out the basketball
to start most of the games and
presented trophies at the end
of the tournament.
This was another occasion
when lone and Morrow county
had another reason to be proud
of its own.
