| 4101. |  HOPING FOR A CURE
They came out fishing, hunting, cruising and clowning but in the end, all they really wanted was a cure.
The 13th Annual Relay for Life was held Friday and Saturday at the Rocky Mount Athletic Stadium. This year's participants came ready for some action. They came as clowns, cowboys and beach goers. Some came as cancer survivors. Even Santa was at this year's Relay. But instead of toys and trinkets, all this year's Relayers wanted for Christmas was a cure for cancer.

In one local town, unleaded gas was $2.09 Sunday morning on the drive to church. By the time most Protestants were headed to their mama's house or a nearby restaurant, the price had changed to $2.29.The cynical parishioner might have thought, "That was one long sermon."In much the same way that a storm brewing on the coast of Africa can be portrayed as the end of western civilization by the national news media, the gas shortage might send us into a situation similar to a Mad Max movie in a matter of days.
