Social Security
With the end of another school year many students are al-
ready making plans for the summer. Some will find part-
time Jobs; others will just enjoy some leisure time after
many months of studies. This is a reminder to those full-
time students over 18 who are receiving social security
checks.
Your checks can continue during the summer, but only if
you intend to return to school inthe fall. The Social Security,
Law allows payment for as many as four months of non-
attendance, provided you were a full-time student for the
month Just before and after your vacation period. However,
you must notify your social security office ff you decide not
to return to school. By doing this, you will avoid receiving
any checks to whlch you are not entitled and prevent a fi-
nancially embarrassing situation. Such over payments, if
they occur, must be repaid either by a cash refund or by
withholding some checks if and when you do return to school.
So play it safe and keep the record straight. If, durlng the
summer, you decide not to returnto school, notify your social
security office right away.
Thank You
We wish to say thank you, very sincerely for your wonder-
/ul expressions of friendship and love during the loss of our
loved one. A special thanks to everyone who sent flowers,
food, cards, prayers, visits and many other deeds of kind-
ness.
Your thoughtfulness made our grief much easier to bear.
May God's richest blessings be yours.

I WAS TALKING TO one of our local Aggles the other day
(you can probably guess who) when I suddenly thought of
a Joke.
"I've gotan Aggie Joke I want to tell you," I told my friend.
"Now wait Just a minute now," he said cautiously, "I AM an
Aggle."
"That's alrtght," I told him, "I'11 tell it real, real slow."
LOCAL FISHERMAN Joe Bownds got his picture on the
cover of a fishing brochure in Arkansas while he and wife
Jane were vacationing in the neighboring state recently.
Joe had a long, long string of fish he had caught, and a
photographer got a full-color shot of Joe and his catch. We
always knew Joe was a good fisherman, now the whole
Arkansas fishing world knows it.
SPEAKING OF VACATIONERS, Carl Allmond cantestify to
the fact that you can stay too long in any vacation spot. And
his pocket book can testify to it also, because he got fined
for staying too long in Mexico.
That's right, Carl stayed five days too long in Mexico and
had to pay to get out. It seems that when he entered the
country, he told authorities that he would be there for two
months. The scenes and cultures of Mexico got to him, and
he stayed an extra five days. When he went to leave, the
Mexican authorities fined him a small token for staying
too long.
So you see, you can stay too long anywhere, even in
Mexico.
Ask Carl about some other interesting happenings on his
Mexico vacation. Sounds llke he had quite a time.

AS I WAS DRIVING past his house the other eventl, I
saw Dr. George Smith looking around his front yard. I
stopped to talk a minute, and Dr. George told me about his
pet squirrel.
George sald that he has had a squirrel in his yard for about
two years. He and his wife have grown quite fond of the
squirrel, and have spent a lot of time watching it play in
the yard.
George said that the squirrel has taken nearly all his pe-
cans off his big pecan tree the past two years, but he said
that didn't matter, since he doesn't eat pecans much any-
way.
But that little squirrel went a little too far the other night.
George reports that it climbed atop his roof, got into his
chimney, and crawled down into his living room. There, it
started to eat a $175 pecan wood coffee table. George said
that when he discovered the squirrel in the house, it had
nearly ruined his table,
The squirrel than proceeded to climb back up the chim-
ney and make its getaway.
So, if you see a fat squirrel running around your neigh..
borhood, don't let him in the house. He has an expensive
appetite.
ROBERTA PRICE said in the Saint Jo Tribune: "Heard
this week that the reason mothers cry at weddings is that
girls have a tendency to marry men llke their fathers."
BOB MILLER said in the Hamilton Herald-News: "The
newest bumper sticker I've seen in Hamilton carries the
message, 'Avoid Hangovers.. Stay Drunk.' Incidentally,
I think the car is still parked in front of the Hamilton
County Jail."
THE BEAUTIFUL days we've been having have brought
out tourists and lake-lovers in huge proportions to Lake
Greenbelt. The lake has been extremely crowded, espec-
ially on weekends, and the golf course has been full also.
We're sure lucky to have this wonderful recreational fa-
....... cility at our doorstep. It brings many, many people to our
} I community, and it's darn nice to have for your own use, too.
SPEAKING OF tourists, the tourist industry has hit here for
the summer. Most of the local motels have had "No Va-
cancy" signs out before the night is over.
