of these areas please call the RSVP

KIRK GRUBEN RECEIVES
GREEN LIGHT FOR FOOTBALL
Kirk Grubcn received the green light
from his doctor! His knee has healed and
he can begin two-a-day drills with his
teammates next month.
Kirk's knee required substantial repair,
and his surgeon initially was not optimis-
tic about his chances of playing this fall,
at least not in early games.
This latest news is great for Kirk and
the Hornets.

•NICE, CLEAN TOWN'
Bertie Walters tells about friends who
occasionally stop by for a visit while
traveling through the Panhandle.
She asked if they went home through
Silvcrton and Quitaquc. They responded,
"your towns have the funniest names"
and said they had never heard of cither of
those towns.
They had not seen much of Tulia ex-
cept for their friend's house and the Dairy
Queen, where they frequently cat.
On a recent visit, Mrs. Walters invited
them to "drive around" and look over her
home town.
They remarked that Tulia is "the nic-
est, prettiest little town." They found it
"nice and clean and understand why you
live here." Mrs. Walters' friends com-
mented on the stores' appearance and
were particularly impressed with Santa
Fc Park.
IMPORTANT PEOPLE GONE
For a lot of years, my roommate and I
worked together in our own business. It
gets to the point where two persons can
virtually read other's minds, which cer-
tainly helps at the workplace.
I’ll miss Beth very much because she
was willing to help with various chores
when she had a minute. She was excited
Monday morning when she started her
employment at Reeves Insurance, and
I'm excited for her.
Darlene Riley, who like Beth con-
cluded her employment with The Herald
on Picnic week, will also be missed. She
is looking forward to the arrival of her
second grandchild. Darlene was one of
the few people with whom I have worked
who NEVER said "I don't want to do
that" or "that's not my job." Her attitude
was, "You may have to show me how, but
I'll attempt to do it."
These two ladies saved me hours each
week during crucial times. Their absence
leaves a giant void for me.
Hearing Thursday In
Smith Vs. County Suit
Visiting Judge Hazlett of Pampa pre-
sided over a Thursday morning hearing
on a summary judgment in Constable
Weldon Smith’s suit against Swisher
County and its elected officials.
Judge Hazlett is expected to render a
decision in early August concerning
whether the matter should be heard by a
jury or the judge.
The Thursday morning hearing was
held in the district courtroom of Swisher
County Courthouse.
