On The Road Again
Should the Hoke County Board of Education choose a
new superintendent from applicants presently working
in the county school system, or should the board go out
side the district to fill the vacancy?
Mattk Locklear
"Stay within the school
district as they are more
capable. They would know
more about the schools. "
Timmy McVicker
"They should stay within the
school system. A person within
the system knows more about
how the local school is run. "
Ralph Stewart, Jr. .
"Who have they got to
choose from in Hoke County?"

Barbara Smith
"I think that not so much em
phasis should be put on whether
the person is from in or out of
the Hoke County School
System. I think it should be on
who is the most qualified of all
the applicants. "
Jeff Fellows
"Stay inside the school
system. If they pick somebody
out of nowhere they won't
know the system, if they pick
somebody from inside they'll
know how the system is run. "
Around Town

had a chance to win a seat in the
House so maybe he can work a
miracle with the finances of the
state.
Anyway best of luck to him!
I stated above that it was foggy
Monday morning and since I had
to make a trip to Monroe during
the morning hours it was really bad
driving.
One thing that made it so bad
was that about 50V? of the drivers
on the highway didn't have any
lights on their cars. This makes it
dangerous for all other drivers on
the highway. Then there are many
drivers that seem to be in a hurry
during this foggy weather. They
will pass you and can't see SO feet
in front on the road.
When people are driving without
lights and these fast drivers are
passing at the same time, it is
leading up to an accident. The
roads would be much safer if all
drivers would use a little common
sense.

Every day as you read the daily
papers it seems that someone else is
getting ready to run for governor
of the state.
It is over a year until the primary
and if the running starts now think
of the amount of money it will cost
the candidates. It seems that each
year the price of holding office
goes up. Maybe if people would
stop contributing to campaigns,
many candidates would drop out.

Even though the unemployment
rate in Hoke County is more than
we would like to see it, it could be
in worse condition. We have
always had what you would call a
high unemployment rate compared
to many other counties of the
state.
Just think what it would be if the
four major industries in Hoke
County, namely, Burlington,
Faberge, Tex-Elastic and House of
Raeford, had been laying off
workers like the rest of the coun
try. We are fortunate to have these
industries here and the employ
ment they are supplying our peo
ple. These products are selling and
are keeping our people at work.

Efforts are being made to ex

noting that engineering for

Showtime for the bask monthly

The rate hike will require two

the February council meeting.
Annexation Mulled
A request Monday night from
residents in the Shawtown area of
the county for Raeford sewer ser
vice might have opened the door
for the 42 families living there to
come into the corporate limits.
Residents living in the area
would probably like to be annexed
into the city, a spokesman for the
Shawtown group said.
Residents have petitioned the
council to provide sewer service
and have offered to buy the pipe
needed to connect the dwellings.
Council members voted to have
Matthews look into the cost of
engineering foe the sewer service
and the feasibility of annexing the
area.
Bike Rack Approved
In still further business the coun
cil approved the construction of a
bicycle rack at the corner of
El wood Avenue and Main Street.
The rack will cost the city $130,
and it is believed that it will keep
bicycles from blocking sidewalks
in the area.
Squad Reports
The budget for the Hoke County
Rescue Squad is tight, and the
city's annual $4,000 contribution is
essential to the units continued
operation, council members were
told.
Last year the squad took in
about $19,400 and spent almost
$18,400, spokesman Johnny
Melton said. A
"Without the city's help we
couldn't make it," Melton said.
Melton noted in the squad's an
nual report to the city that during
1982, members put in more than
1,223 hours of service and traveled
almost 7,300 miles.
The rescue squad made 360 calls
to traffic accidents and attended to
117 injured persons during the
year. Melton said.
Other Matters
In other business, the council
took action on these matters:
?Approved the installation of a
street light at the corner of Central
Avenue and Racket Alley.
?Voted to extend a bond an
ticipation note of $58,000 until
April 13.
?OK'd a measure which would
bring the city's Privilege Licenses
in line with state requirements. The
move could mean higher fees for
some city businesses.
?Requested that Mayor John K.
McNeill write the state Department
of Transportation and ask for a
speed limit reduction to 35 M.P.H.
on U.S. 401 Bypass.
?Reappointed present members
to the Fireman's Relief Fund
Board of Trustees.
Girl Hurt In Accident
A 15-year-old girl was injured at
about 5:20 p.m. January 5 when
she walked into the right side of a
pickup truck on U.S. 401 south
near College Drive, State Highway
Patrol Trooper Ken Weston said.
Jill Schuchard of Rt. 1, Aber
deen, was admitted to Moore
Memorial Hospital in Pinehurst,
Weston said.
The officer said she suffered
fractures of the jaw, nose and
some fingers. She was struck by a
large mirror on the vehicle.
Miss Schuchard was the second
person to be injured in a traffic ac
cident in that area in the past
several months.
He said the truck was being
driven northeast on U.S. 401 by a
Red Springs man when the acci
dent happened and that the driver
was not charged.
Weston said he was informed
the girl had been at Hoke County
High School taking a driver
education course and was walking
to a place where she was to be
given a ride home when the acci
dent occurred.
Miss Schuchard is the daughter
of Dave and Linda Schuchard.
Weston said she was the first
person to be injured this year in a
Hoke County accident.
