C. TEN CENTS PER COPY MOMI I3J9PEB YEAR ::^clcUnAa - — By the Edttw The sheriff’s department has sent several individuals up for making liquor and having it for sale in the past couple of weeks, and last Saturday afternoon Sher iff D, H. Hodgin slipped out to Brantley Allen’s place himself to see if he couldn’t catch him with the goods. He didn’t have another officer with him, though, and I think the liquor went out the back door while he was looking for it. The general public will be glad to hear that the sheriff is making an effort in this direction, as it -will at least make Brantley stay on his toes and keep his mind on his business, if he is selling liquor as it is said he is. Of all the things this town needs, the one I hadn’t thpught of was a beauty contest. I hear we’re going to get. one now, courtesy of the Jaycees. Might be right'in- teresting, come to think of it. The Raef Television Co. which Martin Webb will manage in the post office building, had some tough luck last week when they bought n big ad in The News Journal saying their grand open-, ing was to be last Saturday and learning too late that they could n’t have it then. They’re going to have it Saturday of this week, though, with refreshments and some real sewing artist to demon strate their Necchi sewing ma chines. When I took mj; all-ex- ^iaia teur-^ xrf "^ftaly^some eight years ago I saw many a white and blue metal sign beside the roads bearing the single word, “Necchi.” Never did . learn what it meant until last week when I found out that this machine has been a household byword over there for years, and that they were its ads I saw. County Democratic Convention Saturday Walter P. Baker, chairman of the Hoke County Democratic exe cutive corngfiittee stated yesterday that he wanted to remind all pre cinct officials, good democrats, and precinct delegates to attend the County Democratic convention which will be held Saturday, May 17 at 2:30 p. m. at the courthouse. Baker also stated that since Sat urday is the last day that a person ran register for the coming election all persons that have not register ed should do so. He also announced that a meet ing of the executive committee would be held prior to the con vention to elect a new chauman who would preside over the con vention. Delegates to the State Convention in Raleigh May 22 will be chosen. O Miss Flora M. Boyce Dies In Fayetteville; Funeral Here Sunday Bucks Split Two; Soudiem Pmes Here Friday PMA Committee Explains Rules On Excess Weed Acreage Miss Flora McNeill Boyce, a resident of Raeford since 1941, died at the Confederate Woman’s Home in Fayetteville last Friday afternoon. Miss Boyce had been for 14 years a teacher at Presbyterian missions in China and Korea and had taught at Peace College in Raleigh and elsewhere in North Carolina since returning to the United States. She was a daugh ter of the late James and Janet McFadyen Boyce of Bainbridge, Georgia. She was active in church and club work here until her health began to fail about two years ago. Funeral services wdre hel0 at the Raeford Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon at three-thirty. The Rev. W. B. Heyward con ducted the service, assisted by Dr. Walker B. Healy of Fayette ville. Burial was in Big Rockfish cemetery in Cumberland County. .. 0-; The suggestion continues to pop up that the school committee for the' county - wide high school should be county-wide also, in stead of from the Raeford district. This committee is appointed by the county board of education, and all its actions are subject to the approval of the county board. The county board, ‘while it is begin ning to look a little like a Raeford and McLauchlin township group, is just as county-wide as the people of the county want to make it. The present Raeford district committee consists' of A. 'H. McPhaul, Dr. M. R/ Smith and Dr. Julius Jordan, and I think the system as it is is working very well for the best interest of the whole county in the high school’s operation. YOUR SCHOOL NEWS! By K. A. MacDonald In two -rather loosely played contests during the past week the Hoke High Bucks split as they dropped one decision and picked up a win at the expense of Sou thern Pines. Last Wednesday the locals went down before St. Pauls by the score of 13-7. Harding, taking the mound for the Bucks, seemed on his way to a victory but could not over come his wildness and the roof caved in on him in the sixth in ning as St. Pauls batted all the way aroimd and scored 6 runs to take the lead and keep it for the rest of the game. Sandwiching 7 hits and 5 bases on balls together with 6 errors St. Pauls scored 3 runs in the 1st, 1 in the 4th and 6 in the fatal 5th and 3 more in the sixth for a grand total of 13. Raeford got 9 hits but could never bunch them after the first inning which tallied them 3 runs, the highlight of which was Setzer’s four-bagger with the base empty. Leading hitters for the Bucks were Garrett with 2 for 3 and Setzer with 2 for 4. What was Raeford’s undoing Wednesday was their doing Fri day as they were the visitors at Southern Pines and captured a game that had a total of 18 runs for both sides with the Bucks com ing out on top 10-8. The Bucks scored their 10 runs on only 5 hits but the 13 bases .on balls had the runners on base when the hits were made. Phillips -was the'pitcher for Raeford' saSd, although he was touched for 7 runs in the 5th, gave up 8 hits throughout the game to chalk up another victory. Southern Pines received five bases on balls in addition to the 8 hits they made off Phillips to score their 8 runs. Leading hitters for the Bucks were McCormick who had 3 for 3 and Setzer with 1 for 1. Raeford closes out its regular season play Friday entertaining Southern Pines in a return game at the local park. 0 The Hoke County PMA Com mittee has received instructions from State Director G. T. Scott about the remeasurement of to bacco and peanut acreage and the checking of overplanting of to bacco allotments and the dispo sition of excess tobacco acreage. A producer who requests re measurement of tobacco or peanut acreage will deposit with the coun ty PMA committee the amount of the estimated cost of doing the remeasuring. The County Commit tee is required to establish this cost at not less than 60 cent per acre, with a, minimum charge of $5.00 per unit. A unit is defined as the apreage within the county in which one person has the en tire interest, or in which two per sons share the internist, as a ten ant, or a sharecroppers operations. No deposit will be accepted for re- measurement of part of a unit. In the matter of a request for checking the disposition of ex cess tobacco acreage, it is the rule that the producer will pay the en tire estimated cost of the visit to the farm for the purpose of check ing the disposition of the acreage. Such charge shall not be less than $1.60 per one-tenth of an acre excess acreage disposed of with no minimum farm rate. A deposit will be required for «Very farm on which excess to bacco acreage is disposed of. The producer having excess acreage and requesting measurement, will make a deposit for remeasuring, and if it is found he still has ex cess acreage, an additional de posit will 1)^ ciSarged for witness of disposition of excess acreage. Where a farmer desires to destroy acreage at the time the reporter visits the farm for remeasure ment he may deposit, with the re- Dorter funds as outlined for wit ness of disposition of excess acre age. 0 Plan Gala Opening For litde Lrague Next Wednesday Tovm Gets New Sanitation Truck It has been so quiet politically up to now that something is bound to bust loose in the couple of weeks remaining before the pri mary. Saw Archie Watson and Benton Thomas with their heads together for quite a while over at the courthouse yesterday. That is a sign of something, or should be. Walter Baker, chairman of the coimty Democratic Executive com mittee, urges all “Good Demo crats” to attend the county con vention at the courthouse Satur day afternoon at 2:30.1 hope a lot of us will be there, but I .expect ■that phrase “Good Democrats” would be defined in a wide variety of ways by those4who do attend. I don’t believe I’ll go into it at the present time. Last Thursday evening the Pri mary grades of the Rockfish School gave their operetta.

Purchased last week at a cost of about $4200.00 from North Carolina Equipment Co. of Raleigh,, this new sanitation truck is expected to pay for itself in a few years in savings of labor costs and less wasted time. A unique feature of the truck is a ram which packs the garbage and trash in the storage compart ment therefore multiplying great ly the capacity of the regular dump trucks that had been used previously. The ram, operated by 5,000 potmds of pressure, is able to compress boxes, metal cans and other bulky objects that here tofore took up so much space. After the town crew masters the technique of operation a schedule will be posted and published giv ing regular dates for the collection and disposal of garbage. 0 Large Crowd Enjoys May Festival Here On Tuesday evening the ele mentary school presented their an nual May Festival to a large au dience, estimated to be about 700 persons.
