                        Thursday, April 26, 2001

  Mr. HAYES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of the town of Spring Lake, North Carolina on May 5, 2001. 
The entire town will be celebrating at the Golden Anniversary Parade, 
which is to be one of the biggest parades in the town's history. Over 
100 entrants, including antique cars, high school marching bands, and 
floats and cars sponsored by local businesses and civic groups, will 
participate in the parade. An Arts & Crafts Bazaar, petting zoo, and a 
fireworks finale will round out the celebration.
  In addition to the revelry and excitement of the parade, a new 50-
acre industrial park, the first in the town of Spring Lake, will be 
dedicated and shall be open for business soon. Also joining members of 
the town that day will be senior officials from Fort Bragg and Pope Air 
Force Base, along with members of several veterans' organizations, to 
dedicate the first-ever military memorial in Spring Lake.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the all-American town of 
Spring Lake, North Carolina on its 50th anniversary, and I would ask 
all of my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to the hard-working, 
patriotic men and women who make Spring Lake such a great place to live 
and work.
