la OF LIDOM oruiuiii Mgjjl News-JoumeJ The Hoke County News The Hoke County Journal VOLUME LIU; NUMBER 18 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1958 RAEFORD, N. C. 1 SECTION — 12 PAGES 10c PER COPY $4.00 PER YEAR nda • By The Editor Recent contributions to The News-Journal Cemetery Fund have been made by Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Peterson in the amount of $5 and by Mrs. Ada Pate Hovis for the same amount. Several contributions have been reported for the Hoke Rural Fire Department this week. Some were for one dollar, and Mrs. Clara G. | Jones and Miss Vera McGougani sent $10 each. Now is a good time to make your contribution, for this department will begin to get busy and need money worse as the wea ther gets colder, unless things are different this year. You may be interested to know that The News-Journal now has a great-grandmother for a correspon dent—red headed, too, last time I saw her. Mrs. A. A. Mclnnis, of "‘Rockfish News” fame, says it ‘doesn’t seem to make me feel much older as yet, but f know that it is true, when you get to be a great-grandmother you are no spring chicken.” . . . That may be true, but we’d say she is a right sprightly one, spring or not. Same subject, different angle. . . Barber Dan Mclnnis, son of Mrs. A. A., spoke of the same event rather quaintly while cutting my hair the other day. Dan said, “Did you hear that Smith granapawed yesterday?” I have been reading of a com munity scholarship fund started and sponsored by a weekly news paper in a little Wisconsin town, and the idea seems to have con siderably possibility here. In the it yea’ . have s.'*nLi--'ed the fund 71 students have received grants of money for their educa tions, and more than $45,000 has been raised. The good effects from such a program would be almost immeasurable, I would say, and all of the money has been volun tarily contributed, like to our cem etery fund, with no other form of solicitation whatever. When 1 get to study the idea some more, may be I’ll soring it on you, and in the meantime if you have a comment on the idea I would like to hear it Clipped the following from the “Tar Heel Banker” some time ago, in the feeling that it applied to me, and certainly would be good reading for anyone in any kind of business. Read it and see what you think. “A customer is the most impor tant person ever to come into our place of business, in person, by telephone, or by mail. “A customer is not dependent upon us; we are dependent upon him. “A customer is not an interrup tion of our work; he is the purpose of it. We are not doing him a fav or by serving him; he is doing us a favor by giving us the opportun ity to do so. “A customer is not an outsider tp our business; he is part of it. ‘A customer is not a cold statis- tiq: he is a human being with feel ings like yours and mine. “A customer is not someone to argue or match wits with. Nobody ever won an argument with a cus tomer. “A customer is a person who brings us his wants. It is our job to handle them profitably to him and to ourselves.” “An insurance company says, ‘If we gave you your choice of the fol lowing and you had to decide im mediately, would you take Plan I or Plan H?’ “Plan I: We pay you 5c today and double the amount each day for one month. “Plan II: We pay you $500 per month, starting now, for the rest of your life. ‘Most people would choose the monthly income of S500, but Plan I would pay off better. It would produce $26,843,545.60, or enough to pay $500 per month for 4474 years. “Often we do better by silence than by popping off. ‘Few people do any thinking un til they start talking, and this talk ing is usually accompanied by ges tures. ‘One can handle a hundred typ ical enemies, but one bitter indi vidual can be a nasty problem, es pecially if it is a female.’' —Quotes from William Feather United Fund Campaign Plans Show Progress Group Leaders Named; Headquarters Ooened Division chairmen of the United Fund campaign to be conducted in Hoke County October 7-^ report ed progress in the organization of their divisions this week, and all expected to have solicitors enlisted and all teams complete within the next week, preparatory to the kickoff supper on Monday night, October 6, the night before the drive Starts. Divisions are being organized so that all individuals in the county will be contacted and given an op portunity to contribute to the Fund’s $12,000 goal, with enough teams of volunteer solicitors to in sure that only five contacts will have to be made by each. Headquarters Opened Through the courtesy of Raeford Furniture Company, the front part of one section of their store is be ing used as a headquarters for the fund where the various grouos can meet for their planning and report ing, and where records on the pro gress of the drive can be kept. Re cords are also being kept so that the oragnization plan and giving record of firms and individuals will be available for the drive in future years. Through the efforts of the pub licity and information committee of which J. W. McPhaul is chair man a large sign has been prepar ed and placed over the headquar ters entrance, and a thermometer for posting the progress of the drive has been erected. McPhaul’s group is also preparing charts for recording the progress of each group during the drive an’d'fof pre paring an “Honor Roll” of firms and groups 100 per cent of which contribute. Working on McPhaul’s commit tee are J. E. Byrd, W. B. Heyward, John Draughon, and Jack Latkow- ski. In the Commercial Division Chairman Carlton Niven announc ed that V. H. Fuhner is leader of the group which will work firms in the large business group, having five employees or more. Team cap tains in Fulmer’s group are J. I. Hubbard, Luke McNeill, W. C. Phillips and John Campbell. Each of these teams will have volunteer solicitors in specific businesses. J. W. Canaday is chairman of the small business group of the Commercial Division, with Bobby Carter, Stanley Koonce, Martin Webb, Theresa McBryde and Billy Blake as team captains. These cap tains are organizing teams of five volunteer solicitors each, and each Volunteer is to have five individ uals to contact. In the Professional and Individ uals Division Chairman Dr. Julius Jordan has enlisted as team cap tains Dr. William Barry, Bobby McNeill, William Lament, Jr., Ken McNeill and W. L. Lancaster. Other than Dr. Barry and Bobby McNeill these will organize teams of five volunteers each to contact the people in their classification. Dr. Jordan says one more team captain is to be enlisted. In the Public Employees Divi sion Chairman Sam Morris has or ganized groups in the schools, at the courthouse, the county office building, the health center and the town employees. Still to be organized are the county and state garages and the Post Office. The Industrial Division is being organized by Co.Chairmen John Morgan and Tom Cameron. Group leaders for the firms are to be Ben Campbell at Pacific AnTIs, Ralph Plummer and Richard Nor ris at U. S. Rubber Co., Mrs. Hu bert Cameron at Upchurch Milling Co., L. G. Fraham at Priebe Poul try Co., and Miss Margaret Gainey at Hoke Oil & Fertilizer Co. Chairman Donald Yates of the County Areas Division had only *wo community leaders definitely lined up this morning, but he ex pects to complete this organIza'> ’ within the next day or two. Mrs. R. M. Hooper is the leader for Que- whiffle Township except the Sana torium, and Mrs. 0. B. Israel is to be the leader there. Much enthusiasm is being shown in organizing the drive, and leaders feel that in getting it set up so that volunteers have a definite number of contributors to contact by name it can be completed successfully in the 15 days as planned.
