Hamilton,
from 4A
Denny's (my favorite place to eat in
Perry besides a pick up from A.B.'s
and Skipper John's) and Pizza Hut
(although the pizza on the buffet
was scarce and cold).
Os course I'm a regular at Denny’s
and Shoncy's and maybe they know
who I am by now and know about
my column a few weeks ago and are
trying to keep me happy. I can live
with that.
Now that I think about it, I do
have one complaint. This is not
about the food or service at Burger
King, but about the parties being
carried on in the parking lot. More
than once I've left because I could
not get to the drive-thru window
because of cars with boisterous
teens blocking the way.
I only have two suggestions. One,
Burger King needs to contact the
police and let them run these kids
off when it gets too crowded. Two,
let’s give these kids something to
do. Perry has no form of
entertainment for these kids. We
need a bowling alley with a game
room and a movie theater.
If 1 had the money I'd buy all the
empty stores in the old Kmart lot
(since Starship, Cato and, from
what I've heard, Rcvco are supposed
to be moving across the street) and
at least provide these kids with a
dance hall and game room if
nothing else. I grew up in a small
town like Perry and I used to hang
out in the Dairy Queen parking lot
and get on people’s nerves when
they wanted to park or get to the
drive thru. It sure would have been
nice if we could have had
something to do during our leisure
time.

warding relationship for all," he
said.
The agreement to purchase the
Flint River pulp mill, Bamcsville
sawmill and 175,000 acres of tim
berlands was completed November
30 at Proctor & Gamble headquar
ters in Cincinnati.
The purchase is part of a S6OO
million agreement that also in
cludes a pulp mill, two sawmills
and timbcrland license in Alberta,
Canada.
The acquisition by Weyerhaeuser
makes the world's largest producer
of pulp. The Flint River pulp mill
now becomes part of a world pulp
supply system that totals eight
mills.
All Procter & Gamble employees
at the facilities were offered em
ployment with Weyerhaeuser. All
of the newly acquired operations
will be managed by former Proctor
& Gamble employees including
John Crowe, who will manage the
Flint River, Ga, operations. The
Barncsville Sawmill will be oper
ated by the company's southern
lumber division based in Hot
Springs, AR.
Weyerhaeuser, headquartered in
Tacoma, WA, is the largest private
owner of softwood forests in the
world and is one of North America's
largest producers of pulp, paper,
packaging, lumber and other forest
products. Sales for 1991 totaled
$8.7 billion. For the first three
quarters of 1992, the company re
ported net earnings of $286.7 mil
lion in sales of nearly $6.9 billion.

Kracmer said, “It gives them the
dignity of doing a good job instead
of somebody giving them an al
lowance.
“It’s neat to see them working
and on their own. We’re focusing
on normalization and integrating
with society.”

Danease Sullivan, manager of
the Card Carousel, said she hasn’t
noticed any drop in business since
Perry Marketplace opened.
While downtown businesses
maintain their traffic, Kmart Man
ager Harvey Boyd said the new store
is doing well also. “Sales are better
than last year,” he said. “But it’s
hard to compare current sales to last
year’s, since the store is larger, and
has more items.”
Some downtown merchants
showed their merchandise at this
year’s Christmas at the Crossroads
“An Evening of Fashions” held at
the Houston County Agriculture
Building Tuesday.
The merchants will open their
doors Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m. as part of the Christmas at the
Crossroads celebration. They will
also host Merchants Open House
Sunday from 2-4 p.m.
The Corner Gallery will sponsor
a “Holiday Artist Show” as part of
the holiday festivities Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Other local business owners
throughout Perry will also partici
pate in the activities. The
“Gingerbread House” located at
2741 Hwy. 41 North will show
crafts Friday and Saturday from 9
a.m. until 7 p.m.
