Mri. Luther T. Bounds wu in the
office last week and subscribed to the
paper for her son, Luther, Jr, who is now
serving with the urrny in Vietnam. Luther
worked at the Bank of Raeford here and
graduated from the Field Artillery OCS
before going overseas. As any other man
overseas he would like to receive mail
from back home so we will give his
address.

The Hoke High School Pep Band
played at the Kiwanis Club meeting last
Thursday night and put on a fine show.
Before they started to play Don
Abernethy stated that the remarks about
President Bill Lancaster had caused
concern at the First Baptist Church, lt
seems the Board of Deacons took care of
the matter by an action of letting Bill
become a Methodist when he goes to a
Kiwanis convention with Israel Mann.
Julian Johnson, president of the Beta
Club at Hoke High School, asked that an
announcement concerning the Talent
Show Friday night March 21 at 8 o'clock
appear in the paper. Here it is! Something
that struck me as funny was the price of
admission. It seems that the seniors at
Hoke High have certain privileges, such as
leaving the school first in their cars. So
the Beta Club has given the Freshmen a
privilege for the Talent Show, they can
get in for 25 cents.. Other students must
pay 50 cents and adults 75 cents.
Like father, like son, is a saying I have
heard for 'many a day. But last week
when Mrs. Alfred K. (Sarah; Lea.?! ,'anie ''
into the office laughing the said her
daughter was just like her father'. This is
the story she tells on her daughter,
Debbie.
Last week after school Sarah told
Debbie she could use a box of Brownie
mix and make some Brownies for the
family. Debbie was all for this and made
haste to the kitchen. Before long Sarah
heard a groan from Debbie in the kitchen.
She went to investigate and relates.
lt seems that the first thing Debbie or
any good cook would do before baking is
to read the directions on the box. This
Debbie had done. The directions stated
that the mixture was to be stirred "by
hand". In the kitchen Sarah found
Debbie with both hands in a large bowl
counting as she stirred the mix "by
hands."
The directions stated to stir 50 times
to Debbie was using both hands and was
stirring only 25 times.
Now this it Sarah Leach's story and
when she finished she remarked that her
husband Alfred K. would have stirred
with one hand 50 limes because he would
have followed the directions exactly.

Kidnapper
Receives
8 Years
Henry McRae Jr., 23, who wis found
guilty in Federal Court in Rockingham,
Thursday, of the kidnapping of Robert
Harrell Jr., was handed an 8-year
sentence. Both McRae and the Harrell
boy are residents of Raeford.
McRae plead not guilty and told the
court that he was at home sick with the
flu that night. His parents testified to the
same thing.
The 17-year-old Harrell youth, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Harrell of Edinborough
Avenue, told the court he was using a pay
telephone booth at the Raeford Bus
Station at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 4, when the
door was pushed open and a strange man
thrust a gun in his side and ordered him
to hang up the receiver.
Continuing his testimony, Harrell said
that he was ordered to get into hit car
and drive the gunman to Red Springs.
Upon reaching there, he was told to drive
on again and this procedure continued
until they reached Latta, S. C.
Near a grill at Latta, according to
Harrell, the kidnapper snatched the keys
from the car and (led. Seeing a chance to
get free, after bringing the car to a dead
stop, Harrell said he also ran in the
opposite direction to the grill where the
police and his parents were called.
The search for the Negro continued for
several days. One day, when Harrell
happened to be a spectator in the local
courthouse, he spotted McRae who was
also a spectator. Harrell informed the
police and an arrest was made.
Hoke High School Chorale under the
direction of Mrs. Ncill A. McNeill will

Needed
Fund
The drive to raise 530,000 for the new
stadium at Hoke County High School got
underway this week. The final plans were
presented by the committee lust Friday
night at a meeting held at the Gibson
School cafeteria. The meeting was
presided over by C. D. Bounds in the
absence of the committee chairman
Leonard Frahm.
The plan for raising the money was for
solicitors to request 5 15 for each member
of a family or J 1 5 per seat for the 2000
seat stadium. A block of seats would be
sold for 5150 or Vi block for $75. The
committee feels that the amounts
requested are within the budget limits of
all citizens of the county.
The drive started Monday and money
is already being received by workers. Mrs.
Ed Murray, a member of the planning
committee, announced Tuesday that a
progress board has been placed in the
window at Niven Appliance and
Furniture Co. and names and amounts
would be posted each day.
Bounds requested that citiens try to
donate when a worker calls but if he or
she is not able at this time to tell the
worker when they could donate and set
the time for the worker to return.
A member of the committee said that
Phillipe Bertheau, the French exchange
student at Hoke High, had donated SIS
toward a seat in the stadium, also J. L.
McNeill, Jr., now living in Southern Pines
donated $25. He is a former student at
Hoke High and felt he would like to help
with the project. The committee would
appreciate any funds from former school
students now living in other communities.
At the meeting last Friday night several
citizens spoke concerning the stadium. D.
D. Abernethy, superintendent of schools,
strongly supports the undertaking and
gives full endorsement to the plant to
raise the money. N. L. McFadyen, state
representative and a long time member of
the Board of Education, spoke out for
the project and asked that all citizens of
the county do likewise.
Bounds reminded citizens that the
donations are tax deductible and checks
should be made out to the Hoke High
Stadium Fund. In case you have not been
contacted and want to contribute just
mail your check to C. D. Bounds,
Treasurer Stadium Fund, Raeford, N. C.
