It was obvious the Sharonville, Ohio, Kroger Store didn't expect the

About 9 p.m. the same day, Stanley was driving along Bru 1. Dm-
ding Road to Doug’s Seafood Market when he s;iw something ino- im'
near the edge of the pavement.
"1 thought it was a dog at first,” he ssiid. "It was just off the siue oi the
road. Then I saw what it was and thought. Somebody's lost their
balloon.’ ”
He opened the car door and snatched the balloon inside, only to find
it was a promotion for the Ohio grocerx- store The attached tag promis
ed a $20 Kroger's gift certificate to the finder whose balloon had travel
ed the farthe.st.
Contacted Monday, .Ms. New said Stanley's balloon had a good
chance” of being the winner. Until then, she .siiid. the farthest-flying
balloon the store knew of had landed in Foster County. Kentii ky

Brunswick County To Get
$10,000 AAoDoina Grant
I
Brunswick County will receive a
$10,000 mapping grant from the state
to assist in modernizing its land
records.
The county will receive SIO.lHiO, the
maximum awarded any of the 37
grant recipients. It had requested
$261,208.
The state received requests for S4.6
million, but had only $475,000 to
distribute.
The funds will be disbursed
through the Uand Records Managt*-
ment Program of the Division of
Land Resources in the N.C. Depart
ment of Natural Resources and Coin-
iminity Development.
Brunswick County’s mapping pro
ject is in the planning stages. Recent
ly the county received “qualifica
tions for bids" from four firms in-
terc.sted in bidding on the project,
said to Register of Deeds Robert
Robinson. But he added they have not
been formally reviewed vet.
I’he nuipping project is expected to
take several years. Its product will
not be the "cliched tax maps,”
Robinson noted, but a series of maps
that can be used by numerous county
agencies for a variety of purposes.

can’t go to Washington, D.C. It (the

what the memorial means."
The traveling memorial us '246 feet

veterans who died during the Viet
nam War. Included are the names of
1,300 persons who are .still missing
