This column is really and truly i
“addenda" this week, as there are
several items still uncovered and
the rest of the paper is full, for
‘ some reason.
Elections of the ASC commit
tees will be held in eight commun
ities of the county on October 2.
Those elected will also serve as
delegates to the county ASC con
vention and elect the county com
mittee. There will be voting in
Allendale, Antioch, Blue Springs,
Wayside, Rockfish, Quewhiffle,
Raeford and Stonewall. Voting
places and nominees for the com
mittees will be printed next week.
These committees are important
to fanners, because they are re
sponsible for local administration
of the many phases of the ASC
program, such as the soil bank,
crop allotments, price supports, the
agricultural conservation program,
storage facility loans, and others.
Sitting quietly behind the driver
of a Greyhound bus when it ar
rived here Friday morning shortly
before 8:00 o’clock was Ollie Elmo
Maynor, white, 44, of Durham. So
quite, in fact, was he that the
driver’s investigation with the help
of Raeford Policeman Henry Hud
son determined that he was dead.
He had got on the bus in Miami,
but passengers remembered that
he had been alive in Florence. He
had died quite peacefully, as he
was in a position of repose, with
his legs still crossed, when notic
ed, and the driver had heard no
thing to make him notice him.
