sentative’H. A. Greene’s visit to
the State Superintendent of Piib-
lic Instruction reference to ad
justing the dififerences between

of Education on the site for the

we would like to say that we are
expecting the route engineer any
day, and that immediately upon
his arrival he will be taken to all
places;that a change has been re

Still Only Promises
On Mail Delivery
Lacy Clark, postmaster of Rae
ford, didn’t quite know why mail
delivery service didn’t start here
on Tuesday, October ISlih, as he
had said several weeks ago that
he expected it to.
He (hdn’t know Tuesday morn
ing, that is, but he got busy on
the telephone and by ’Tuesday
night was able to e:q)lain that his
arrangements had been mtade ver
bally in Washington’ and that
there had been some misunder
standing as to the starting date.
die got the promise that a man
from the Post Office Department
would ;be here this week to set up
the service, so it appears that it
should get going in the next few
days, as the carriers are on hand
to start walking and the mail
boxes are coming in daily. A
I great many of the houses in town
now have numbers and most have
mail boxes as well.
The State Highway Patrol has
made its first monthly inspection
of the buses and found them to 'be
in excellent condition. Each bus
received an unqualified ok.
Several repre^tativ^ from the
various white sclmols of the coun
ty attended the Southeastern Dis
trict IMeeting of NOBA held last
veefc in Whiteville. The schools
did not close foe-this meeting.
Final inspection has been made
on the general contents for the
Diirlingtdn School and the. Hoke
that the subcontractors wiir com
plete their contracts shortly and
that these projects can be closed.
The total enrollment, average
daily attendance, and percentage
in attendance for the first month
of white schools follows: Ashe-
miont 11'8, 102, 93; Hoke High 8th
grade 106, 96, 94; Hoke High 2i71,
247, 9Z: Mildouson 90, 77, 91; Rae
ford Graded 571, 512, 93; Rock-
fish 10-8, 92, 91. The 8th grade
leads the county in attendance
with Ashemont and Raeford
Graded tied for second place. We
hope that as the crops are housed
all attendance will improve.

The new health appraisal blanks
are being distributed to the schools
this week. We hope that teachers
will make a special effort to get
these blanks filled out and the
health program under way as
soon as possible.
We also hope that parents as
soon as they are advised of the
fact that their child has a physical
defect will take the child to their
family physician and have the
defect corrected. Where this is
done please notify the teacher.
The colored schools of the coun
ty are this year, under the lead
ership of the elementary super
visor, starting bn a study of men
tal hygiene as it pertains to the
school child. The first of five
meetings was held yesterday at
the Upchurch school. Dr. R. M.
Finch, consultant in Mutual Hy
giene with the School Health Co
ordinating Service is holding these
meetings. We feel very fortunate
in securing the services of Dr.
Finch.
The Supervisor reports that the
PTA’s of the various schools are
getting their projects for the year
underway in good shape and that
progress along all lines is in
prosi)ect.

METHODIST CHURCH
INGATHERING SUCCESS
The annual ingathering of the
Rae'ford Methodist church, which
was held at the armory last Thurs
day, was a financial success,
church officials said this week.
Meals were served to slightly
over 2200 persons, there were 33
bales of cotton giv'en and sold,
and the church-realized $8100.
Too many Congressional inves
tigations amount to looking the
bam after '^he horse has ibeen
stolen. '
That feeling is increasing among
many members of Congress as
they see one investigation after
another turn up examples of waste
and extravagance in the use of
taxpayers’ money.
^These disclosures are particu
larly shocking td xnany-members
of Congress today because appro
priations have increased, so tre
mendously as . a result of the de
fense program. They see waste
and extravagance growing in pro
portion to the increase in the
amount of money authorized by
Congress.
The chief complaint, heard with
increasing frequency, is that more
of these investigations of how fed
eral funds are tbeing spent should
be conducted before Congress
authorizes additional appropria
tions, rather than afterwards.
The situation was illustrated
most recently when Rep. Wheeler
(D-Ga.) dressed as an ordinary
workman and visited the con
struction site of' the new Savvan-
nah River, S. C. hydrogen^ bomib
project. Wheeler, who describes
himself as a “fairly good jack-leg
carpenter,” returned to the House
with reports of “gross watse” . . .
“featherbedding” . . . and “union
racketeering” in connection with
hiring at the project.
Wheeler took his findings to
the House Appropriations sub
committee that was considering
an Atomic Energy Commission re
quest for an additional $48'0 mil
lion to carry on construction of
the Savannah River project.
The AiEC said the additional
money was needed because con
struction costs of the project had
risen that much above the last
previous estimate. This was, in
fact, the second upward revision
of the project’s cost since con
struction was started last January.
Small wonder of that, so far
as Wheeler was oncerned. He
asked the subcommittee to check
his findings of waste at Savannah
River. The project is just across
the line from his home state,
whose labor market has .been
sharply affected by hiring at the
project.
Holding back on the $480 mil
lion appropriation, the suibcO'm-
mittee arranged to have investi
gators of the General Accounting
Affice, an a.gency of Congress,
check Wheeler’s findings.
The investigators found, among
other things: five men charging a
spotlight on a pick-up truck; seven
men engaged in cutting a 6 x 10-
inch timiber, with only four doing
the actual work; groups of two
to six workers loafing around tool
shacks; “many persons standing
around, apparently supervisors . .'

Massey Hill
Bucks Offer Competition To
Undefeated Cumberland
Team In Losing, 13-7, Fri.
Reported by Bruce Phillips
A hard - charging line and
amooth-working running attack
gave the highly-favored and strong
Massey Hill High school a scare
last Friday night as they defeated
Hoke High 13-7 in a game that
could have gone either way up
to the final gun. It was played
in Fayetteville and was the fifth
victory of the season for Massey
Hill.
Coach Bob Rockholz had his
Hoke Bucks charged up for the
game and they acquitted- them-
s^ves well.
iMassey Hill scored in the first
quarter on a 55-yard run by
Butler. The attempted placement
was wide and they were in front
when the quarter ended, 6-0.
In the second quarter (M'C-
Lauchlin intercepted a (Massey
Hill pass which gave the Bucks
the ball on their own 20-y-ard
line. The Bucks then pulled their
T-formation out of the bag and
rnoved to a touchdown in a few
plays. Holland took a handoff
from Phillips and was stopped on
the 40. The touchdown came
when Sessoms took a wide pitch-
out from Phillips and streaked 00
yards to pay dirt. Benner put his
true toe to the leather and the
Bucks were leading 7 to 6 at half-
time.
In the. second half the Massey
HUl boys came back fast and
,ljiSke(i,t .,p^^a^^^t.ou^down the
third quarter on a pass. The point
after was also scored on a pass
and they were in front 13-7.
In the final quarter the Bucks
threatened again to score what
would have been a tie and possi
bly a victory. They had the ball
on the Massey Hill four-yard
marker when the game ended.
. All who saw the game -thought
the Bucks performed well and
that the play of 'Sessoms and
Holland was outstanding.
The Bucks go to Hope Mills for
their next game tomorrow after
noon.
