UCB Announces Student Program
A new educational program was
announced recently by R.L. Cono
ly, city executive of United
Carolina Bank.
The program titled "Your
Checking Account", is being made
available to Hoke County High
School for students to learn the
techniques and responsibilities
associated with maintaining a per
sonal checking account.
Each kit includes a supply of
checks, deposit sHps, bank
statements and related reference
material. After teaming how to
open an account, keep checkbook
records and reconcile the monthly
statement, students will actually
maintain a simulated checking ac
count covering an eight-month
period.
The program is designed not on
ly to teach an important aspect of
money management but also to
correct bad check-writing habits
which may otherwise persist
throughout adult life.
Conoly and Nancy Smith,
business education teacher at the
high school, emphasize the rela
tionship between sound money
managment in school and future
financial stability.
The program will be used as part
of the Business Education cur
riculum where money management
is an important part of consumer
education.
Hoke Heart Assoeiation
Seeking Businesses9 Help
Nearly one million Americans
died last year from heart and blood
vessel disease, and 200,000 of them
were men and women between the
ages of 35 and 64 - the age bracket
of industry's most productive
workforce.
"Replacing that lost workforce
is a major expense for American
industry, but that money does
nothing to prevent heart and blood
vessel diseases in the first place,"
according to Mrs. Evelyn Mann
ing. She and Mr. Ed Hasty have
been appointed Co-Chairman of
Business Day for the 1983 Heart
Fund Campaign of the Hoke
County Heart Association.
Industry pays for the lost
workforce through escalating in
surance costs, absenteeism,
decreased productivity, employee
replacement and training costs,
disability claim and death benefits,
she added.
"Investing in the American
Heart Association, howevei, can
help prevent heart attack and
stroke, and also improve diagnosis
and treatment," Hasty added.
"Research supported by the
American Heart Association dur
ing the last 30 years has con
tributed to improvements in con
trol of high blood pressure,
development of artificial heart
valves and pacemakers, new X-ray
techniques to help improve
diagnosis of heart and blood vessel^
diseases, and advances in surgical
techniques to repair congenital
heart defects," Manning said.
The life-saving technique of car
diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
was also developed in part through
research support provided by the
Heart Association, she added.
The progress made by the Heart
Association is reflected by the
decline in death rates for coronary
heart disease and stroke.
"In the decade between 1968
and 1978, the death rate for cor
onary heart disease fell by 25 per
cent and the death rate for stroke
declined by more than 36^?. If the
rate of 1968 had prevailed in 1978,
then more than 300,000 additional
deaths would have occurred," she
emphasized.
Manning and Hasty urge atea
business owners and managers and
professional people to generously
support the Heart Association dur
ing the Business Day Campaign to
be held Tuesday, February 15 in
Raeford.
"Contributions from area
businesses will help our mission of
reducing early death and disability
from heart disease and stroke,"
she said. The Business Day Cam
paign goal is S925.00.
Mrs. Manning is the President
of Manning & Associates and
Evelyn's Sample Shop. Her hus
band, Ed operates his own poultry
brokerage business. They have
four sons and one grandson. Mrs.
Manning's civic work includes:
Cub Scouts, 4-H Club, Heart
Fund, March of Dimes, Chairman
of Hoke County Beautific^^o
Committee, President of the Hfctnfc s
Life Department of the Raeford
Women's Club, and Co-Chairman
of the Hoke County Republican
Party.
Lumbee Coop Customers
Get Adjustment Credit
For the first time in two years,
the fuel adjustment factor which is
set by Carolina Power and Light
Company and passed along to
member-consumers of Lumbee
River Electric Membership Cor
poration, will be a credit on
February bills.
The fuel adjustment charge for
this month is S2.30 credit per thou
sand kilowatt hours. That is, for
every 1,000 kilowatt hours of
energy a member uses, LREMC
will subtract $2.30 from their bill,
Not since January of 1981 when
there was an 80? credit on the
monthly bill, has Lumbee River
EMC been able to pass on any
credit from CP&L.
"With the recent rate increase,
Carolina Power and Light had
promised us better performance
and better fuel adjustment
charges," said spokesman Jim
Autry. "We really hope this is a
sign of the future."
