'T he nature of rabbits being
what it is, the official records
reflect a growth in the numbers
and note that after eight weeks,
Raeford presented Laurinburg
with 12 of the animals.
It was also in 1950 that The
Outstanding Citizen Award was
started. C.L. Thomas, Lewis Up
church, J.L. McNeill, Robert

Austin, Harry Greene, T.B. Up
church Jr., K.A. McDonald, W.B.
Heyward and Josephine Hall were

dignitaries addressing the club dur
ing the decade.
Pancake suppers began in 1955.
Recreational programs for the
summer months were started and a
Walking Blood Bank was held.
Plans were also started on the
Raeford Civic Center, the present
home of the Kiwanis Club.
1960's
The 60's got underway with Clyde
Upchurch Jr. serving as president.
He led a move to sponsor College
Career Day, and began talks on the
proper way to celebrate the coun
ty's 50th anniversary in 1961.
Raeford Kiwanians continued
good works, taking on such pro
jects as distributing pine seedlings
to residents, sending scouts on
jamborees, promoting an airport
for Hoke County and working
with the Woman's Club to build
the civic center.
In addition to Upchurch, other
presidents during the 1960's were:
Clerk of Courts M. Donald Yates,
businessmen John F. Campbell
and Archie Howard, textile
manager John M. Manuel, Rev.
Robert E. Lee Moser, farmer and
real estate dealer Alfred Cole, in
surance ageni Avery Connell,
Superintendent Donald D.
Abernethy and Department of
Labor official William L. Lan
caster.
Among other activities during
the period. Kiwanis members
visited homes of welfare recipients
and saw first hand the work being
done by the Department of Social
Services.
" J.W . Currie emerged from his former
pessimistic state of mind and arose to say the
finance committee had found the Club fitiances to
be in good shape. President Fairley commended
Kiwanian Currie and urged him to talk as long as
his optimism held out . "
University of North Carolina
basketball coach spoke to the club
and Benny McLeod became
secretary succeeding Hinton
McPhaul.
The decade of the 60's was clos
ed out by Kiwanis when R.B.
Lewis, who was the only active
charter member still in the club in
1969, was presented the Legion of
Honor Award for his service.
Lewis also started the I960's off

Year. Others who received that
honor during the period were:
Isreal Mann, John Manuel, Neill
A. McDonald, Harold Gillis,
Clyde Upchurch Jr., W.L. Poole,
W.T. Gibson Jr., Charles Hottel
and Tom Cameron.
1970's
In 1974 the club celebrated a
Golden Anniversary of service to
the Hoke County community.
During those ceremonies, Benny

Year. Others to join McLeod with
the honor during the decade were:
Mayor John K. McNeill Jr.,
Leonard Frahm, former
Superintendent G. Raz Autry,
Burlington executive Ashwell Har
ward, educator Jim Turlington,
newspaperman Sam C. Morris,
T.B. Lester Jr., Dr. Marcus Smith
and Chamber of Commerce Direc
tor Earl N. Fowler.
In addition to helping the scouts
and other civic activities, the club
worked hard on the local Bicenten

1980*5
In the last three years, Kiwa
nians have continued with the
tradition which was started in 1924
by sponsoring such projects as the
Circus, which netted over $2,000
for the Hoke County Childrens
Center, and spearheading the an
nual Halloween Carnival which
last year raised about the same
amount for the schools' TMH pro
gram.
in addition the club raised and
donated more than $10,000 last
year to local, state and national
causes.
In recent years the club has
worked under the leadership of
these presidents: insurance agents
Vardell Hedgpeth and A. Wilton
Wood, military retiree Jim At
taway, realtor Ralph Huff and
businessman John Leandro.
Tom F. McBryde was honored
with the Citizen of the Year Award
in 1980. C.P. Kinlaw followed in
1981 and Neill L. McFadyen
received honor for 1982.
The 1983 award will be made
during 60th Anniversary
ceremonies being held at the
Bordeaux Dinner Theatre in Fayet
teville on Thursday night.
When Kiwanis was organized in
Detroit in 1915, its purpose was to
"promote the adoption and ap
plication of higher social, business
and professional standards," and
to develop "intelligent, aggressive
and serviceable citizenship."
In its 60 years in Raefont,
Kiwanis has met those goals and
more.
