As we returned last week, it appeared that evexylLiiig had gone smoothly in our , absence, and it would seem that none knew we were gone. Then we started to delve into the work, and found that there were piles of items waiting for our decision. It's good to be missed, td have the realization that you at least fill some little nitch in life. We did glean some bits of wisdom in our travels, too.

Or if it is wrong, it is illegal Any laws that conflict with this premise should be changed." This is not always the case today.

It was certainly a sad day for racing fans, and a great financial loss fra- the owners. - With UBIC and County fair on us at the present time, all wrapped up in one big ball of wax, with some events even overlapping each other, it appears that county residents are goin to be busy.. 'The' main events of the UBIC run Wednesday through Saturday of this week. Some fair events will be held this Saturday, and will- run through Monday, August 16, with the main days of the fair being next Thursday through Saturday.

But it is too late for this year, so we will just have to do the best we can to make as many events as we can.
