A Visit With Grandma: -BUTâ€" coming into Oak Rid- ges, we saw this clown cavorting in the middle of the highway, waving his arms, holding a bunch of balloons, trying to get passers- by to stop at some special sale or opening of a new place. Three cars came to a screaming stop in front of me, trying to avoid hit- ting this character. and I doubt if anyone dared glance over to see what he was trying to get folks to buy. Seemed like a per- fect set up for a nasty accident, on a very busy highway! Richil-Tee-Ca: Susan Campbell kept grandma on the hop and well entertained this last week when she came a- visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilford Park.
