 As the monkey said
 when he cut off his tail -
 "It won't be long now," -
 before school bells will
 ring for students in Hamil-
 ton County's public
 schools. The drowsy days
 of summer slumber and
 furi are about to come-to a
 close for students and staff
 members. Enjoy each gold-
 en moment of the remain-
 der of your summer cele-
bration.
 Speaking of celebrations,
the invitation read "A
Ketchup Party." The idea
was to catch up with close
friends and relatives for a
weekend of laughter, cele-
brations and maybe even
some ketchup if you used
it on a grilled hamburger.
There was so much won-
derful barbeque and other
delicious food that seemed
to ride on a tide of good
conversation and laughter
as it all streamed -endlessly
from the back lawn of the
historic Carver-Ward home
(the big blue house) next to
S&S Food Store on U.S. 41.
 Gail Ward celebrated her
birthday, a little late. It was
on June 18, but she sched-
uled her belated celebra-
tion to accommodate
friends and relatives from
all around the United
States. The "ketchup" par-
ty kicked off with a bar-
beque on Friday, July 15,
and proceeded through the
weekend with a good old
fashioned "house party" -
gallons of coffee, lots of
party foods, and just tons
of fun and more laughter
than you can imagine.
Happy belted' birthday


wishes to Gail. We wish
her many more happy
birthdays, and we can't
wait to have another
"Ketchup Party."
 Bobby and Avis Bullard

 pecially for granddaughter

15. Delaney is the daughter

days!!!
 First Baptist Church,
White Springs, ended Va-
cation Bible School on Fri-
day, July 15, with com-
mencement exercises in the
church sanctuary begin-
ning at 6 p.m. A large
number of students, family
members, and friends at-
tended this memorable
evening in the life of the
church. Many thanks to
everyone who. participated

 The proposed Gate Pe-
troleum Ethanol Plant will
be the subject of a public
hearing to be held on Tues-
day, July 25, 7 p.m., at the
South Hamilton Elemen-
tary Auditorium. This
hearing will be for infor-
mational purposes only
and is not designed to be a
"public forum" for those
who are for or against the
proposed ethanol plant. If
you are an individual who
is busily getting your notes
together to deliver the
valedictoriess" as it were
on either side of the issue -
save your time and maybe
design your own public fo-
rum. This will not be.,the


moment for your "fifteen
minutes of fame" the
quote made famous by the
late Andy Warhol.
 On Saturday morning, I
saw Linda Sheryl Williams,
Angela McCallum, and a
whole car load of other
family members, including
a bunch of children, all tak-
ing off to Bush Gardens in
Tampa. The children were
shining like new money in
beautiful summer time
clothes, and I hope every-
one had a marvelous time
on this family outing.
