Sidewalk Cyclists Had
To Held To Pedestrians
An ordinance governing bicycles
ridden on the sidewalks was en
acted by the Raeford Town Coun
cil.
That was at the council's meeting
of October 3 - 72 years ago.
The ordinance reads; "Any per
son riding a bicycle on the side
walks within the corporate limits of
the town of Raeford shall either
dismount or turn into a driveway
when they meet or overtake a
pedestrian. The penalty for viola
1 tion of this ordinance shall be $1."
(Don't laught at the penalty. SI
in those days probably could buy
you four dozen large eggs, maybe
more.)
The ordinance was signed by
J.W. Johnson, mayor, and H.L.
Gatlin, clerk.
This is part of the news of the
council meeting reported in a
newspaper clipping found by Steve
Phillips recently in the old house
being renovated into the clubhouse
of Deer Track Racquet Club about
nine miles south of Raeford.
The ordinance is no longer on the
books, Police Chief Leonard Wig
gins told an inquiring reporter for
The News -Journal.
The town does have a bicycle
ordinance, Wiggins said and quot
ed it to the reporter. It was enacted
in September 1947 and replaced
Mrs. Harrington
Hospitalized
For Heart Attack
Mrs. Helen Barrington of Rae
ford was reported still in serious
condition but improved Tuesday at
Moore Memorial Hospital where
she was admitted Sunday night
following a heart attack at home.
Her son, Hoke County Sheriff
David Barrington, gave the infor
mation to a reporter in reply to a
question shortly after the sheriff
returned from visiting his mother.
Mrs. Barrington, 85, was admit
ted to the hospital's intensive care
unit.
She makes her home with a
daughter, Miss Helen Barrington,
in Raeford.
Mrs. Barrington retired at the
end of 1978 as a Hoke County
magistrate. That was her most
recent position in her 31 years of
service as a justice of the peace and
a U.S. commissioner in addition to
her magistrate's office.
the 1910 ordinance.
Wiggins explained that the great
majority of bicycle riders are
juveniles and that juveniles cannot
be fined for an ordinance violation,
as an adult can. He explained the
1947 ordiance doesn't specify a
penalty for violation. He said that,
when a bicycle rider is found riding
on a sidewalk, a simple warning
suffices. Repeated violations would
get an adult into court, however, he
added.
In other business at the 1910
meeting, the newspaper reports:
"The mayor and Secretary were
ordered to make a note and have all
the Commissioners to endorse it.
This note is for borrowing money to
pay for constructing concrete side
walks on Main Street, said note not
to exceed $1,000. The following
voted yea: T.B. Upchurch, Jno. W.
Moore, Jno. Graham.
"The following bills were ordered
paid: G.G. Davis, cost of repairing
pump, 3S cts.; E.E. Fridell, police
service, S2.50; Williford & McDia
amid (probably meant McDiarm
id), Lumber, $15.75..."
The report noted near its begin
ning: "It was moved and carried
that the Mayor see the Town's
Attorney and proceed in right way
to open the alley on west side of
Main Street."
The report bore the names of the
mayor and the clerk.
The paper that published it
probably was the Hoke County
Journal.
Army Sgt. George Valentine,
husband of the former Sharon
Miller of Raeford, placed sixth in
his class of 85 in the Noncommis
sioned Officers Academy held at
Ft. Carson, Colo. The ranking
came at the end of the four-week
course.

Ambulance Deal OK'd
The Cumberland County com
missioners approved unanimously
Monday on second and final read
ing a transfer of ownership of
LaFayette Ambulance Service of
Fayetteville to Jim Henley and his
partner. Henley is owner of Hoke
County Ambulance Service based
in Raeford.
The Cumberland commissioners
had given unanimous approval also
on first reading at their meeting of
September 27.
Henley Tuesday morning declin
ed to identify his partner or how
much they paid for Lafayette but
said the amount was considerable.
He said they bought LaFayette
from Doug Cary of Fayetteville.
Henley said the purchase includ
ed LaFayette's accounts receivable
amounting to S125.000, contracts
with the Veterans Administration
Hospital and Nearo Science, a
brain-scanner service, both in Fay
etteville, and the ambulance com
pany's six ambulances and their
equipment.
Henley said LaFayette will be
operated as a separate organization
independent of Hoke Ambulance.
All but two of LaFayette's staff of
16 have been replaced by 19 people,
some from the Hoke Ambulance
staff and some new members, he
said, and Hoke Ambulance is
leasing one ambulance to LaFay
ette as needed. Hoke has a staff of
14 fulltime and parttime people.
All are Emergency Medical Tech
nicians or EMT Intermediates.
Henley said the LaFayette
franchise area adjoins the Hoke
Ambulance area and covers Cum
berland County from U.S. 401 west
of the highway from Hoke County
to Harnett County.
He said he would continue to
operate from the Raeford office
and go to Fayetteville for LaFayette
business only when he is needed.
Henley said the management of the
LaFayette office will be handled by
two supervisors. He will be general
manager of LaFayette.
The Army's offering young
people a lot of choices these days.
According to Sergeant Ulysses
Olden, Army recruiter in Fayette
ville, there's a program which
enables high school seniors to join
the Army now and report for duty
after their graduation. In the
Army, they'll get their choice of
either the skill training they want to
learn or the first place they would
like to be stationed.
"We call it the Delayed Entry
Program (DEP), and it's perfect for
high school seniors. It gives you
time to get your high school
diplomas, the foundation for al
most every opportunity in life.
Colleges certainly require it, as do
most jobs worth having. The Army
wants enlistees to finish high
school, too. That's why we give you
the time to do it."
Under DEP, you get a guarantee
of your choice of training, and
there's a lot to choose from. The
Army has more than 300 skill
areas, in fields as diverse as
Army Offering
Lot Of Choices
automobile and aircraft mechanics,
surveying and foreign language
interpreting. After two or three
years in the Army, many of the
skills can be used in civilian life.
"Or, if you prefer, you can have
your choice of the first place you'd
like to be stationed. That's attrac
tive to high school seniors. A lot of
young people have chosen to see
Europe while serving at one of our
posts in West Germany. Others
prefer to stay closer to home, and
that can be worked out, too."
"College is also very much in the
picture," says Sergeant Olden.
"Through the Army College Fund
qualified soldiers can accumulate
up to S15.200 for college in a short
two-year enlistement, or up to
$20,100 for three years."
"The Army wants and needs
high quality individuals. That's
why we urge you to get your
diploma. Complete your senior year
knowing that you've planned for
your future."
