School News Turlington holds drug ed program Sixth grade students at J.W. Turlington School have been in volved in a month-long drug education and awareness program. The program was organized by science teacher Gloria Strickland. Each week students gathered in small groups to hear lectures, to see thought-provoking films, or to engage in question-answer ses sions. The course was led by Dr. John McBride, George Linial, Ron Sunderland, and Ed Hamlin who arc employed by Sandhills Mental Health. Topics which were covered dur ing the seven session course includ ed over the counter drugs, prescription drugs, marijuana, nicotine, psychoactive drugs, death and drugs, alcohol, and the DW1 law. The seminar appeared to be well received by both students and parents. Turlington School hopes to sponsor a similar drug education program annually. Hoke student receives St. Andrews scholarship James Ward, a senior at Hoke County High School in Raeford, has been named a Distinguished Scholar at St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurin burg. He will receive a $16,000 scholarship to attend the college beginning in the fall of 1984. Ward was one of 49 outstanding high school students from the western seaboard states who was invited to participate in the annual Distinguished Scholarship Com petition March 1-3 at St. Andrews. "The competition was keener than ever before," said Peggy Crawford, director of admissions at the college. "The number of qualified scholarship applicants almost doubled this year." Ward was selected by a 12-member committee consisting of six faculty membes and six honor students from St. Andrews. The applicants were evaluated on the basis of their high school grade point averages, Scholastic Ap titude Test scores, extracurricular activities, recommendations from guidance counselors and teachers, and interviews during the scholar ship competition. Ward is active in chorale, the Science Blub and is a member of the National Honor Society. He also was voted 'Most Likely to Succeed' and 'Most Intellectual' by his high school class. He is con sidering a major in chemistry. St. Andrews, which has gained national recognition for its academic programs, is a private, four-year, liberal arts college in Southeastern North Carolina. County above state average for immunization North Carolina continues to be a national leader in immunizing children against communicable diseases, according to State Health Director Dr. Ronald Levine. State records show that 99% of all 174,467 kindergarten and first graders who entered school last September met the minimum re quirements of the state's im munization law. In Hoke County, 99.1% of the students were properly immunized. "We're currently doing some random sampling to see if those students who were not immunized when school started last fall have since gotten their shots," Levine said. "The returns so far indicate they have, but the sampling is not complete yet." He said that the state's public and private school principals, physicians, and local health departments have strongly sup ported the state's immunization law. "Their persistent efforts have helped North Carolina practically wipe out some diseases, Levine VOTE MABEL M.

Main - fUwford 171-4111 said. "In 1983, for example, only one confirmed case of measles was reported. That is the lowest rate of measles recorded since 1918 when state statistics were first compiled." North Carolina's immunization law requires that children entering school be immunized against dip theria, tetanus, pertusis (whooping cough), measles, rubella and polio. The law applies to school children through the twelfth grade. Levine stressed that the primary responsibility for having children immunized rests with the parents. "Parents who fall behind in hav ing their children properly im munized are leaving those children more susuceptible to disease," he pointed out. Levine said that in 1983 34 cases of whooping cough were reported in children less than five years old. Thirty of those children had one dose of vaccine or less, which is not sufficient to protect a child against whooping cough. Children should have completed three DTP (diptheria, tetanus and pertussis) doses by six months of age. 'It's important that parents start their children's immunizations at two months of age and then com plete them on time," Levine em phasized. "Parents should also keep the children's boosters and records up-to-date. This not only protects the children, but helps to wipe out some diseases." The required immunizations are available from private physicians and local health departments throughout the state. PHONE FORFOOD Fish. Stirima. BBQ. Cttkken .. .
