Around Town (Continued from page 1) last, and also this Saturday I ran into Fred Culbreth. He looked real well and was as usual rooting hard k for the Tar Heels. He was with his daughters, Connie A Carolyn and was In high spirits. The Culbreths moved to Durham in the spring. ? ? ? The roster is about complete for the Reunion of "Old Battery F' which will be held this weekend at I the Holiday Inn at Wrightsville Beach. If you haven't signed up, do so at once and join the group for a fine weekend. ? ? ? John Balfour, chairman of the Hoke County commissioners, was by the office last week and as we . discussed many issues, he com ' mented that he had seen an old program at his mother's home on the dedication of the National Guard Armory. He said that he had read in this column about plans for the dedication of the new Armory located on the U.S. 401 Bypass. I told John that I would like to see the old program and maybe make some notes to use at a later ) date. He brought it by last week and I have made a copy of the program and would like to write about a few things that were of interest to me. Maybe they will be of interest to some of you readers. The old Armory located on the old Fayetteville Highway was dedi cated on May 11, 1938. The building was built with funds from the W.P.A. (Now most old folks will know what W.P.A. means). I The superintendent of the project was the late Joe Campbell of Antioch. The total cost of the building was about $50,000. The building housed the two National Guard units that were in Raeford at that time. The main speaker at the dedica tion was Governor Clyde R. Hoy and he was introduced by Laurie McEachern. The building was ' accepted for Hoke County by the Chairman of County Commis sioners, N.H.G. Balfour. (This was the present chairman's father). The mayor of Raeford at that time was G.B. Rowland. The day started with a parade down Main Street and the dedica tion and speeches were at the new building beginning at 11 o'clock. A governor's luncheon was held and many dignitaries were in attendance. In the afternoon a baseball game was held between Oak Ridge Academy and Carolina freshmen teams. That night a banquet and dance were held in the new Armory. Battery 'F' consisted of four officers and 63 enlisted men. This included nine sergeants and six Corporals. The commanding officer was W.L. "Rube" Poole. 1st Bn. Hq. Battery consisted of two officers and 29 enlisted men. This included five sergeants and five corporals. The commanding officer was John W. Walker. This was a big day in Raeford and most of the men that were enlisted at that time went on to service during World War II'. Let's hope the dedication of the new armory will be as successful. The following item was given to me and requested that it be run in this column. I hope that it will bring a large turnout to these programs. Ephesus Baptist Church will launch a new and unique program for church training beginning on Sunday night, October 3, at 6:30 p.m. Ephesus Baptist Church, located in the Arabia community of Hoke County is a member of the Robeson Baptist Association. The church is pastored by Gifton Canipe, with services being held on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings and Wednesday nights. The church initiated the new program by electing a curriculum committee, which has been involved in produc ing curriculur designed to train youth in the church to be more effective Christian witnesses. The entire Sunday night services will stress the development of the entire person towards spiritual maturity in the home, the church and in the world. Each unit of study will involve a series of approximately six weeks duration, and will cover such subjects as; the home, marriage, Christian doc trine, ethics, history, etc. Did Y<m Kmw...
