The purpose of the award is to honor an outstanding school bus driver in each county worthy of recognition for outstanding con tribution in school bus safety dur ing the current school year. Malloy, a school bus driver in Hoke County for nine years, is a dedicated driver who is concerned about the safety of the children. He is interested in their school work and their behavior at home and at school. He has driven a bus for handicapped children for the last three years.

The award :3 named for a 17-year-old high school junior who was killed on her way to an after school job at an oil company in Raleigh. Her death focused atten tion on the ever-present and press ing need for greater care and con cern in the selection, training and supervision of the school bus driver. Since her death, and as a result Of parents, adults, students and legislative concern demonstrated throughout the State, numerous changes have resulted focusing public attention on school bus safety awareness. Governor Hunt has declared the week of May 6-12 as School Bus Driver Recognition Week. Additional and more strin gent requirements have been added to qualification and selection of students and adult school bus drivers as well as an increase in the hourly wage for bus drivers. According to Don Ward, Ex ecutive Vice President of the North Carolina Oil Jobbers Association, "The purpose of the Tracy Lea Calhoun Memorial Award is to focus attention to the need to exer cise continued care and concern in the transportation of school age youngsters since 70.3*70 of all public school students use the North Carolina School Bus system. We, as citizens, should be proud of North Carolina's transportation system which ranks as one of the safest in the nation when you consider the fact that over 12,750 buses travel a total of 606,949 miles per day which adds up to over 109,250,775 miles per year. The North Carolina accident ratio is far better than the national averages as evidenced by the fact that this state operates 3.36% of all the buses in the nation but only records 1.93% of the total school bus accidents. Further, nationally a school bus accident occurs every 57,000 school bus miles while in North Carolina that accident ratio is one for every 92,664 school bus miles." Ward concluded by adding, "Regardless of how good our school bus transportation system is, it cannot rest on its past ac complishments, not as long as one death or one accident of injury or one accident is recorded."

The group of volunteers is diver sified in every way accept one. They were all very busy volunteers. A.nna Jordan is one of these busy volunteers. Jordan, a resident of Raeford and product of Hoke County Schools, is a graduate of Wake Forest University with a degree in History and a Teaching Certificate in Early Childhood Education. She is employed as a Kindergarten Teacher in the St. Pauls School System. As a member of First Baptist Church, Jordan is a member of the choir, the handbell choir.

Yet, most Tuesday and Thursday nights Jordan can be found in the literacy office tutor ing. Jordan traveled to the West Hoke area last fall to take a 10-hour Laubach Workshop. She says that even after the workshop she was afraid to start tutoring. "But once I saw the willingness and determination of these adults to learn to read, I knew that I had to work even harder to help. 1 know I'm doing something worth while and important," she said. Project Director, Barbara Buie agrees that Jordan is doing something worthwhile and impor tant. "Tutoring is what we do that's most important to the in dividual and the county." Jordan's student, Bobby Peterkin adds he often wonders what she gets out of tutoring. He says, "It's people like Anna that keeps me coming to the class. There are times when I wouldn't come but I think of her sacrifice and come anyway. It's also easier to come because of the way she teaches. If I forget something we have covered she has a special way of helping me remember it." Hoke Reading/Literacy Council sees National Volunteer Week as a time to recognize and thank the many volunteers of this county who make the literacy council possible. We recognize those citizens who gave 1,900 + hours of documented time and for the hun dreds of other hours given that we only have tangible positive results of.

CF Bike-a-thon on tap for May 19 The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is looking for a few good people to participate in a bike-a-thon start ing at 10 a.m. on May 19 at Turl ington School. The goal is to raise money to find a cure or control for cystic fibrosis (CF), the number one genetic killer of children and young adults in the United States. Only 25 years ago, children born with CF rarely lived to enter grade school. Now, because of research accomplishments and improved treatment, nearly half of all children with CF will live past the age of 21. But there is still no test to detect carriers of the gene which causes CF (ten million Americans carry this gene), and there is no cure for the disease. "That's why research is so crucial," said Jimmy Woods, chairman of the event. "We need help from every child and adult to participate or sponsor a rider. "Just come to the Western Auto store or call 875-8431 to get spon sor sheets," Wood said, "Then ask your relatives, friends, neighbors and coworkers (or parents' coworkers) to pledge any amount per mile for each mile you ride. The idea is to get as many sponsors as possible. Refreshmnts provided by Raeford Kiwanis Club will be serv ed during the bike-a-thon. CFF t-shirts will be awarded to all riders who collect $30 or more. Bikers who collect 590.00 or more have their choice of a roll tote bag or a long-sleeved beach shirt. The top fund-raiser will win a portable television. Riders may compete for three statewide prizes to be awarded to the top three money-raisers in North Carolina. Call Wood at 875-8431 or 875-8355 to find out what you can win as a state prize and for any other information about the bike a-thon.
