Why not help their worthy cause and buy a poppy to show you care for those who gave their lives for this country. Trudy Ritter is the Auxiliary's poppy chairman this year. • • • With the coming of Memorial Day in another, week, can summer be far behind? We hope not! We are really getting a little tired of all this rain and cold weather. Someone said recently that when it does decide to warmup
it's going to get H-O-T and stay that way for awhile. Right now we sure hope so, but we’ll probably join everyone in complaining if we do have a hot, dry summer. The poor weatherman can’t seem to satisfy anyone these days. He could at least give us a good try at some warm and sunny days for a change. • ♦ * We join in welcoming Lavon’s Variety Store to Our Town. It is currently having its grand opening in the freshly painted store. We were glad to see the Holdermans* daughter Kay in the store when we visited there last Saturday. Congratulations should also go to Campbell’s Market, who is holding its grand opening this week after Completing remodeling and enlarging the store.
