Around Town
(Continued from page 1 A)
They have kind* slowed down in
the legislature, but this is due to
the fact that most bills are now in
(committee. The next thing you
know they will hit the floor of the
House and Senate and will become
laws before we know it.
I was told this week that Danny
DeVane said to tell me hello.
Maybe he read about losing his
raw*. Hope to see you soon.
Danny!

^ Several weeks ago a letter was
published in this newspaper from
Mrs. Linda Dow of Greenville,
S.C. wanting information about
Ruth Warner that also lives there.
We were able in a small way to
help her and wrote in this column
who Mrs. Dow was and where she
lived when in Raeford.
Last week a letter came to the
) paper addressed to Robert Gatlin.
who had sent Mrs. Dow a paper
and the comments made in the
paper. This letter will follow in this
column.
1 would like to state that Mrs.
Dow came to this town in 1924 and
didn't know anyone but her hus
band. She came from Greece and
could speak very little English if
any at all. She was helped by the
| folks here and this letter shows her
deep appreciation of our folks
here. Let's try to keep up this kind
of friendliness.
Her letter follows:
2-20-83
Dear Robert,
Thank you and The News
Journal for sending me the infor
mation 1 requested concerning
Ruth Warner.
| For your information. 1 was able
to contact her, here in Greenville,
and reminisce about people we
knew in Raeford.
1 don't know if you recall that
Raeford was my first home in the
United States.
In my last letter, 1 erronously
said that Mrs. B.R. Gatlin was my
close friend until death. What I
meant to say was that it was your
mother, Mrs. Hallie Gatlin.
I Although, your grandparents and
your aunt, Mrs. Stewart, were also
very nice to me. Your grandfather
used to come and show me how to
weed my garden. He used to bring
me cantaloupe and fruit from his
farm.
Robert, do you remember when
your mother used to send you with
a tray of delicious food for me
when I had my first baby? Your
) mother and I became very close
friends throughout those years.
She was like a mother to me. It
hurt me as much when she died as
it did when my mother died.
As for my age, I was born July
12, 190$. I came to Raeford as a
bride, age 19 yrs. Raeford and its
people were very kind to me. When
I moved to Greenville. 1 left behind
many good friends.
I Most sincerely.
Linda Dow
United Way Organizes
(Continued from page 1A)
This year's campaign will be
open to anyone who wants to par
ticipate.
"Anyoofc interested in United
Way should come foward and
.make themselves known. We need
their help," Matthews said.
Campaign officials are still
organizing this year's effort, but
Matthews and Witherspoon are
both looking for a successful year.
One of the areas being looked
into by the fund raisers is selling
industries and businesses on a
payroll deduction plan.
During 1982, the Hoke County
United Way raised S20.28I of
which most went to local organiza
tions such as the Girl Scouts, Boy
Scouts, 4-H Council, the Hoke
County Rescue Squad and others.
With recent cuts in governmen
tal spending, the United Way has
become more important for the
survival of these local organiza
tions. Matthews said.
* This year's goal has not been
finalized, but officials hope collec
tions will exceed the 1982 figure.
Prior to coming to Raeford.
Matthews served as the Director of
Redevelopment for the City of
Gokisboro.
The Winston-Salem native is
married and has three children.
Matthews is a member of the
^Raeford Kiwanis Club and the
hlaeford Methodist Church, as well
as several professional organiza
tions.
