il The first signs With May not even here, the first heads of grain begin to peek out in Raeford area fields. These small grains will be harvested and sold mainly as livestock feed. This is an embryonic peek at money in Hoke County farmer's pocket. Grain sales from this year's crop are ex pected to top the $1.1 million mark. . . .School plan given committee OK (Continued from page I A) ding would come from the balance of the bond issue. In the years prior to the major construction push, the committee recommends that roofs be repaired and that maintenance schedules be increased. Funds for those im provements would come from a special "roofing fund" and could be earmarked from ordinary revenues. Under the proposal, Turlington would be phased out by merging the school with Upchurch through the addition construction on the Upchurch site. The old Turlington facility could ' be used as an audiovisual area, to consolidate a cold storage area for schools and to accommodate general storage needs. In order to make the plan work, the committee recommends the purchase of land which now ad joins the Upchurch School. That acquisition would bring the total land area at the facility to 32 acres. In addition, all classrooms under the gym floor at Turlington should be eliminated before the The News-Journal The News-Journal is publish ed every Thursday by Dickson Press Inc. at 119 W.

According to a memo to the committee from Superintendent Dr. Bob Nelson, three mobil units would be needed at Turlington and one at Hoke High School to ease space problems for the ROTC pro gram. The four units are available used and can be purchased from a neighboring school system for about $20,000, which is half the cost of new units, Nelson says. By combining the funds from the bond issue and using revenues from the present one-half cent sales tax, the committee feels all improvements can be made without a tax increase. "The committee recommends that the County Commissioners commit no less than 60<7o of the YARD SALE Sat., April 28 8 a.m. until - 515 N. Jackson St. WOODCRAFT & THINGS sales tax revenues to the solution of the school facility problems dur ing the year 1984 through 1989," the report says. That amount would decrease to 40?7o during 1990 to 1993 and to 30^o thereafter. If the funds are available, the plan also calls for the construction of a gymnatorium at West Hoke and Scurlock schools. Committee members plan to air the recommendations next Mon day night at a public hearing to be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Hoke County Courthouse. Following a public question and answer period, which will include a slide show, the committee's pro posal will be addressed by members of the Hoke County Commission and the Board of Education in a joint session.

Maybe this is asking too much? ? ? ? Maybe most of you folks have been reading about the North Carolinians who are going to England this week for festivities to begin a three-year celebration of the 400th anniversary of America's founding by English settlers, who landed at North Carolina's Outer Banks. There will be approximately 200 North Carolina residents who will make the trip. The leader of this group is Governor Jim Hunt. Along with Mrs. Hunt and others, they will be in England for three days, Wednesday through Friday. The festivities Friday will be car ried on many local TV stations. Leaving in a group on Tuesday was Mr. and Mrs. Neill L. McFad yen of Raeford. They will be gone for eight days and will be with a group of dignitaries. Neill of course, was a representative for many years in the N.C. General Assembly and Mary Virginia was on the Roanoke Colony committee for many years. She still may be on it. So look for them on your TV screen Friday. We are proud that they are not only representing North Carolina, but aiso Hoke County and the City of Raeford. Maybe we can get some inside facts when they return. ? ? ? Commander Sam Snead of the local Post 20, North Carolina / American Legion, was by the house Monday and asked that I re mind all members of the post of the Open House at Pope Air Force Base, Fort Bragg which will take place Saturday, April 28. It will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. The local members will meet at Edinborough Restaurant at 8 a.m. to go in a group to the Open House. This will be one of the largest demonstrations ever put on at the two bases. They are expecting over 100,000 to attend this event. ? ? ? Last Friday night as I entered a local restaurant, a stranger came up to me and introduced himself. He said his name was Robert E. Bruton of Merritt Island, Fla. and that he had been reading "Around Town" for many years and some one at his table told him who I was. Of course this caused my head to swell and feel like a big shot. I talked to him and his wife, nee Christine McNeill, of the county, later on during the evening. He was with the McNeill family group and he and his wife were here on a visit. He was given The News Journal many years ago and had kept his subscription up to date ever since. He must have served at Fort Bragg when he met his wife because he said he was a veteran and enjoyed reading about the 252nd N.G. reunion. It was good to talk with the Brutons and I hope they will keep in touch with me in the years to come. ? ? ? Don't forget to vote absentee if you are going to be out of town on Tuesday, May 8. ...
