Bringing in the harvest
Timber Is one of this county's major industries, and access to timber tracts is not as good, fewer snakes
these loggers are attempting to beat warm weather and mosquitos are usually about in winter,
by harvesting during the colder months. Although x

Arabia Golf Course, showed me a
letter he received on March 6 from
UCB in Raeford. It was postmark
ed February 28 and had taken
seven days to go from Raeford to
Arabia.
According to Hendrix the infor
mation in the letter was useless to
him because the event he was being
informed of had already taken
place when he received the letter.
Since the letter was stamped on a
postage machine and was not
cancelled it would be impossible to
place blame on the post office. It
could have stayed in the bank a
few days before being mailed.
These things happen but it
makes you wonder if the machine
age is better than the pony express.

Since the day I retired from
Dickson Press, it has been good to
hear of others that have reached
that stage in life. Recently three of
my friends have retired and I
welcome them to the club. They
are Martin Webb, January 29;
Ellen Currie, March 2; and Ray
mond Maxwell, March 12.
I don't have any information on
Martin and Raymond, But will give
a few facts on Ellen.
Ellen started to work at Fort
Bragg in February 1951 in the Sup
ply artd Service Department of the
Army. She saw things change from
the pen and paper to the computer
age in her department.
On March 2, she retired after 33
years of work at Fort Bragg. Con
gratulations.
Martin worked at Womack

The article in a daily newspaper
last Saturday about the poverty in
Hoke County was all from the
negative approach. Only at the end
of the article was anything good
said about Hoke County.
I have been a resident of Hoke
County all but seven years since it
was formed in 1911 and I was born
in 1918. During that time there was
the great depression and many
recessions. As a worker on this
newspaper for 49 years, I have still
to recall any soup lines or starva
tions in the county.
All the official boards, in my
opinion, have been wise in the
spending of money and the quality
of education has met the needs of
the students on par with all other
schools.
I don't consider myself poor but
proud. 1 have been rich and proud
to have lived in Hoke County for
66 years and hope to live 66 more,
if not longer.
Negative writing is bad jour
nalism.
Precinct meetings
draw 150 Demos
Over 150 Hoke Democrats turn
ed out for the March I precinct
meetings where delegates were
elected to the county party conven
tion.
The county convention is slated
for Saturday April 14 at 1 p.m. in
the Hoke County Courthouse.
"I think the meetings were well
attended, Hoke County
Democratic Party Chairman
Harold Gillis said.
During the meetings, Raeford
Precinct 2 elected a new chairman
to replace newly appointed District
Court Judge Warren L. Pate.
Wendell Young was appointed
to fill Pate's former position.
The first food law was passed in
1203 in England. Vendors who us
ed maturate weights for bread
were"'(jriveri through fhe' streets
with loaves of bread tied around
their necks.
