The woman, stranded here with her three children when her car broke down, was sitting in the vehicle on Edinborough Ave nue when Mayor H. L, McLean walked past. The mayor, hearing a puppy’s bark, asked the woman where the dog was. He was told it was in the trunk of the car. New Officers In Chamber Raeford-Iloke Chamber of Commerce is continuing its search for a new oflice manager and is now reviewing applica tions, the chamber announced this week.

Meanwhile, other new of ficers and directors have be gun duties, along with McBryde, in the chamber. They are Marvin Pinson, vice president, Jake Austin, secre tary. and James Sinclair, trea surer. Jaycettes Hear Town Manager "A council management form of government has both demo cracy and efficiency," Ed Wil liams, town manager, pointed out to the Raeford Jaycettes Tuesday night. Speaking at the club’s monthly meeting, Mr. Williams ex plained that since the mem bers of the town board of com missioners are voted for by the people, this is democracy. The town manager adds effi ciency because he is a trained administrator and can co ordinate the wishes of the town board, according to Mr. Wil liams. Mr. Williams said that the town manager here operates according to die charter written in 1901. He emphasized that running a town is a business where efficiency is needed, and that a council management form of government Is economical because one person can co ordinate all moves sanctioned bv the board. ' After Mr. Wiillams' talk, the club discussed Its pro ject for the Hoke County Fair to be held In September. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. John Carpenter. "Lady, it’s too hot for the dog in there,” the mayor said. "You'd bettergiveitsomeair." Mayor McLean helped the wo man unlock the trunk. Inside were four dogs. Three of them we r e-dead. The woman began to cry. Mayor McLean asked if she wanted him. to cal* thf dog warden to dispose of the canines. No. she said, she had called friends in Goldsboro. When they arrived, she would see that the dogs were buried. Mayor McLean returned to town hall. He told Police Chief L. W. Stanton about the woman’s plight. The chief and Dog War den Archie Clark persuaded the woman to let them bury the does. Meanwhile town employe E. R. Brooks invited the woman and her children to his home. There they waited for her friends to arrive from boro. The woman bathed her infant child. Mrs. Brooks serv ed lunch to them. Later in the day, the woman returned to Goldsboro. She said she would continue her trip to Mississippi, to which her Air Force husband had been transferred, as soon as her car was repaired. For a long time she will remember the warm hearts she encountered on a hot day Raeford. Harry A. Greene, 67, judge of Hoke Recorder’s Court, died Tuesday in Moore Memorial Hospital.

See BOOZE, Page 9 PRIVILEGE LICENSES Hoke Merchants Howl Over Increased Fees Moore Visit Postpones To County in The Hoke County organ ization for I. Beverly Lake has thrown its support behind Dan K. Moore for governor, it was announced this week, J. D. McMillian, Lake cam paign manager here, said a meeting of precinct chairmen and supporters was held last week. The group voted un animously to support Moore in the second primary, he said. Lake polled 847 votes in Hoke County in the first primary, running second to L. Richard son Preyer. who led the race with 1,131 votes. Moore polled 566 votes in the county. Meanwhile. Moore cancelled a scheduled visit to the county Monday. He spent the day pre paring television tapes and speech material. Moore was scheduled to make a 10-county tour of Central North Carolina on that day and would have stopped briefly at Hoke County courthouse. He also would have visited Lee, Moore, Scotland, Richmond, Anson, Stanly. Montgomery, Randolph and Chatham counties. The candidate’s state cam paign manager, Joe Branch, said an effort is being made to re-schedule visits to these counties before the June27pri- mary. “Judse Moore has asked me to express his genuine dis appointment at' the inconveni ence this conflicthas caused his supporters in Hoke County," Branch said. "He is very anxious to visit Hoke County and we are doing everything possible to make the necessary arrangements." Raeford merchants howled i- protest this week when their es tablishments were subjected to the town’s new privilege license ordinance. In some instances, licenses were almost 10 times the amount paid for the current year. On a town-wide basis however, the new schedule ii.- volves an increase of only $1,800 in privilege license re ceipts. The new ordinance, effective July 1, entails a general in crease in fees, imposition of Dry Weather Hurts Crops In This Area Dry weathet and the current "hot spell" appear to have in jured Hoke County’s multi-rhil- lion-dollar tobacco crop, ac cording to the farm agent’s office. Wendell Young, county agent, said stands are irregular and some fields are showing signs of fertilizer injury and "sand drowning." Poor stands were reported early in the season, he said, and some farmers had to re plant their fields three or four times. The result is plants of varying size, which willbring hardship in harvesting and un even quality in barnings. Young said many of the earlier plantings were "stunted” by dry weather and are now ’’buttoning.’’ However, most of the blooming plants have 16 to 18 leaves and will produce a fully-developed plant if seasonable weather favors them for the remainder of the season. Nonetheless, there are early indications of a low yield in the cou.nty, which last year pro duced $2.8 million in tobacco. In addition to injury from dry weather, local farmers were subjected to a 10 per cent cut in acreage allotment. Young said. Tobacco in several fields in the county reportedly has turned "completely yellow" from leaching, or "sanddrowning.” Top dressing has been applied to help the plants recover from this condition. Young said. Meanwhile,,the small grain harvest, expected to produce $3.50,000 in income, is about half complete. Young said.
