Children's Center Has New Director
Anne Johnson started work this
month as the new director of the
private, nonprofit Hoke County
Children's Center of Raeford.
which helps developmental^ im
paired pre-school children.
Mrs. Johnson has worked in
human services for the past eight
years, in Virginia, then in North
Carolina. This is her first profes
sional service with children, but she
previously had done volunteer work
with youngsters. Professionally, she
had served the elderly before
joining the staff here.
Mrs. Johnson and her husband.
Bob Johnson, moved to North
Carolina three years ago, to Lum
berton. Her husband is director of
the Southeastern Industrial Center
I at Lumberton. The Center is for
mentally impaired adults.
The Johnsons have two children:
daughters, April, 6, and Carol
Kay. 3.
Mrs. Johnson said Monday she is
excited about the job here and is
enthusiastic about her staff. She
also said the children "already are
doing more than I had in mind they
could."
The Hoke Center has an enroll
ment currently of 12 children
ranging in age from 18 months to '4
years. The center does accept
children up to 5, just below
kindergarten age. It is open to all,
Mrs. Johnson said, and the fees are
based on family income. Aid
programs help the families of very
low income.
Most of the financial support
comes from public funds. The fees
paid by the parents, and private
donations, fill the gaps, Mrs.
Johnson said.
The other people on the Center
staff are Kim Evans, lead teacher;
Pat Sessoms, teacher; and Irene
Goins, Tracey Sprinkle and Tom
England, teacher aides.
Mrs. Goins has been serving at
the center since shortly after it
opened, in January 1974. She and
her husband, Harvey Goins, have
nine children of their own. The
youngest. Spencer, is 20 and a
freshman at Pembroke State Uni
versity majoring in computer
science.
England and Sprinkle are resi
dents of Sandhills Youth Center.
Miss Evans is a native of
Wilmington who joined the staff in
July, with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts in special education she
received the previous May from the
University of North Carolina at
Wilmington. She commutes to the
Center daily from Fayetteville. ' >
Mrs. Sessoms has been working
with special-education children for
seven years and joined the Center
staff the last of luly. The past two
years worked at Upchurch Junior
High School with a class for the
severely handicapped. Mrs. Ses
soms is a Hoke County High School
graduate and studied a year at
Campbell University. She has twA
children; Beth, 11, and Michael, 8, '
and lives in Raeford.
Mrs. Johnson succeeded Mrs.
Judy Hendrix Crawley, who served
as director for five years. Mrs.
Crawley left for a position in
Wilmington, starting August 1.
Subsidized Housing Started
(Continued from pg. 1)
In addition to the Meadows,
funding applications are pending
before FmHA and HUD for three
other housing projects in Hoke
Codnty.
If built, all of the projects will be
managed by the Housing Author
ity.
Developers are awaiting approval
from FmHA for 48 units on South
Main Street across from Faberge
Inc. in the Holly Park area.
One-half of the units planned for
that SI. 5 million project will be
occupied by the elderly.
Another 48-unit project is
planned for South Wooley Street
and if approved it will be built
under a HUD loan.
A Winston-Salem developer is
planning to construct half of the
units as single family three bed

Morehead Seniors Chosen
Three Hoke County High School
seniors have been chosen to com
pete for John Motley Morehead
Awards to the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
They are Tony Barefoot, Pam
Currie, and Eric Coley. One will be
chosen by the Hoke County More
head Committee by November 1 to
represent the high school in the
district competition in December.
The final competition will be the
next after that and will be held in
Chapel Hill in the spring.
A Morehead award -- a scholar
ship -- will amount to about S6.000
per year for a North Carolina
resident. The sum is intended for
use in paying the year's tuition,
board, room, laundry, books, and
student fees, and incidental ex
penses, estimated at about $3,800;
and the 52,200 cost of participating
in the Morehead Foundation's
summer enrichment program.
The three students were chosen
to compete for the Hoke High
representation by a committee
chosen by the principal, Dr. Len
wood Simpson.
A student is chosen for a
Morehead Award in the final

his or her moral force of char

You can't judge a judge by his party membership!
Party membership does not properly qualify a candidate to be a judge. When you vote for a judge, you
should be voting for justice based upon knowledge of the law and the facts, fairness to all parties in all
cases, respect for the rights and sensibilities of persons involved in courtroom proceedings, and the
dignity that befits one who administers justice. The law is above party politics, and justice should never
be influenced by it.
When you vote for a judge, vote for the person. Vote for Paul B. Eaglin. He knows the law, is well
experienced in proper courtroom procedures and conduct and has respect for the rights and dignity of
all persons coming under the court's jurisdiction. His name will be listed on the ballot as a Republican
Party candidate. Look for it.

"The Raeford Housing Authority
will manage all of the projects, and
by doing so, we maintain local
control of who lives there and how
they are maintained," Matthews
said.
"Management is the key to
subsidized housing," he said, add
ing that authority personnel will be
accountable to the citizens and to_
the voters.
This housing is going to be an
asset to the community and the
county, not a liability," Matthews
