Miss Annie Maude Poole, 89,

A funeral service on Friday for
Miss Poole evoked memories of a

than 30 years.
Miss Poole died in Moore

In 1930 she accepted a position
M teacher of music education in

repeatedly directed her itudents to
award-winning recognition in area
and state competition.
After her retirement in the early
1960*8 she returned to Raeford and
resumed in active role in church,
social, and dvic events. The

Affectionately known for her in
imitable wit, keen interest in cur
rent events and articulate expres
sion, she maintained a quality of
youthfulness throughout the retire
ment years.

As you become older in a place
you have lived all your life, the
thought comes to you who is older
than 1? This hits me every once in
awhile when 1 want to check on
some date or what some person did
in Hoke County many years ago.
Just recently someone called and
asked me when the big Are was in
Raeford. 1 couldn't remember the
year, but 1 could give them the
name of someone that could sup
ply the information.
Last Friday afternoon 1 attended
the funeral of Miss Maude Poole.
Now Miss Poole was a daughter of
the late D. Scott Poole who started
a paper in Hoke County around
1904. The paper was called "Facts
and Figures." All the Pooles, in
cluding Miss Maude, worked on
the paper. I can remember talking
to her after starting my career in
the newspaper business and think
ing in my younger days what pro
blems she brought forth in our
talks.
Of course the paper business is
like all businesses today. It has
changed and is a new ballgame.
Not a business you work with just
your family, but you must have
trained people to run computers
and fast presses that produce many
newspapers an hour.
We all say we don't want to go
back to the "good old days," but 1
wonder if they had as many ulcers
and gray hairs as we have today.
Maude Poole worked on a
newspaper in her younger days,
but went on to become an
outstanding music teacher.. I will
neverVforget my talks with her over
the years.

What do you think of the com
puter age? What is going to hap
pen a few years from now? Think
about this.
Will the people of the future be
able to spell, add or read? Maybe
this doesn't worry you, and since I
won't be around, it shouldn't
worry mc.
That is what most people are
saying about the National deficit.
Leave it to the future!
Is this the right thing to do?
I think after these questions, it is
time for me to help Mary Alice
shell peas and butterbeans. Now
this is a nice retirement.
Re zoning
sought for
new funeral home
By Ed Miller
If a tract of land just off
Highway 401 is rezoned in an up
coming meeting of the Raeford
Planning Board, the city should be
getting at least one new business
and maybe more.
A Fayetteville resident, T.L.
Butler has made formal applica
tion to the City Council and the
Raeford Planning Board to have
his tract of land rezoned from
residential to a commercial
classification, according to an ap
plication at City Hall.
A new funeral home is planned
to be located on the land if it is
rezoned, said Butler.
Butler, who currently owns a
barber shop on Main Street in
Raeford and a funeral chapel in a
nearby town says he plans to build
the funeral home, a barber shop
and a beauty shop on the same
property.
All three shops may not be put
in at the same time, he said.
"Once the land is rezoned, Mr.
Butler can put anything allowed by
the zoning ordinance on it that he
wants," said City Engineer Bill
Sellars.
As per city ordinance, there are
two types of commercial zoning in
Raeford.
"C-l" zoning is how the majori
ty of downtown is set up.
Its purpose "is designed to ac
commodate those retail and office
uses which are characteristic of the
major business center of the city,"
the ordinance says.
Butler has requested "C-2" zon
ing, his application says.
This type of zone has been set up
"to accommodate the widest varie
ty of commercial, wholesale and
retail businesses," according to the
ordinance.
Such things as car washes,
funeral homes, motels, restaurants
and warehouses fall under this
catagory of zoning, says the or
dinance.
The Raeford City Council and
the City Planning board will be
holding a joint session and public
hearing on the matter of Butler's
rezoning request on July 23 at 6
p.m. at City Hall.
Another public hearing with just
the City Council is planned for
August 6 at 7 p.m.
Councilmen and Raeford of
ficials have invited the public to at
tend the hearings and air their
views on the matter.
