Interested in art Hoke County art teacher Martha W arren gives a short demonstration of of the paintings were very good, some of them were pretty good but no fingerpainting. After she showed them how, the children went to it. Some matter. The kids seemed to have had fun. Summer program helps migrant pupils By Ed Miller A special program for the children of migrant workers has been put into practice in Hoke County for the first time this sum mer. Subsidized by the federal government, the program is specifically designed to meet the special educational needs of migrant children, according to program director Darlene Clark. The program helps to provide continuity in the education of these students as well as helping them ac celerate their learning, Clark said. Many of these children, especial ly the older ones, have to miss school in the late summer and spring because they have to help their parents work, Clark said ad ding that the summer program allows some of the children to catch up. Many of the children here in Hoke County live with grand parents or other relatives and at tend the summer program while their parents are in neighboring towns or counties or even other states working their seasonal jobs; she said. The new program in this county consists of a staff of 12 people in cluding teachers, librarians and music and art teachers. Classes are attended daily by the students and last until 1 p.m., Clark said. Last Thursday at South Hoke School, children in a class with teacher Steve McNeill were learn ing about dinosaurs and other animals of the prehistoric era. "We're going to build an ant farm next week," McNeill said, adding that he is also trying to educate the children about snakes and other things which are not understood by many people. The art classroom of Martha Warren was strewn with childrens' renderings of prehistoric life set to clay. Martha had been showing some of the younger children how to finger paint that day. Some of these children made an intolerable, but lovely mess, because of their inexperience with painting. A class of older students have been working with Gay Ivy Barnes, a teacher who recently completed the Orff program held at the Raeford Public Library, learning to play guitars and recorders. Clark said many of the students do not have the facilities to bathe regularly and that, with the help of towels donated by J. P. Stevens and soap and shampoo given by Faberge, the migrant children at J.W. Turlington school have been taking showers. "They love it. Some of them want to take showers every day," she said. Migrant children have enjoyed things this summer that they might not have experienced without the summer program. They have seen a special perfor mance of "Broadway Our Way," the summer youth theatre produc tion, visited the North Carolina Zoological Park in Ashboro and enjoyed making (and eating) ice cream, a function they can take home to their families, said Clark. A local Raeford family has donated the use of their swimming pool for the kids, she said. Ending on August 10, the special program has offered treats and educational experiences to these children that they could never have found working in a field. The families of these children should be commended for working for what they have, but most educators believe a child's mind re quires a kind of work and exercise that can be found only in a classroom. Hoke County's new migrant children's program is trying to give them the exercise their minds need. Hoke receives funds for secondary roads The North Carolina Board of Transportation, at its monthly .meeting here today, approved over $45.4 million for secondary road .construction improvements statewide. The funds, which were allocated on a county-by-county basis, were appropriated by the North Carolina General Assembly earlier this month. The legislative's action guaranteed that 1-3/8 cents of the states 12-Vi cents per gallon gas tax will be used for secondary road im provements. Board members have been meeting with the 100 county boards of commissioners in public meetings across the state to review and approve projects to utilize these funds. According to Secretary E.R.

WM111 TMH camp offered new experiences By Carotya Pagu The "Sunny Day Camp" pro vided fun and exciting new ex periences for Hoke County's Multi-Handicapped Students this summer. The camp met at Upchurch Jr. High 12 days. After reveiwing skills learned during the regular school year, the students would get on the buses, and head out for fun and adven ture. The activities included: swim ming, movies, minature golf, video games, playing in parks, picnics, cook-outs, nature walks, arts and crafts, and a trip to eat pizza and homemade ice cream. All of this was made possible through the generous efforts of sponsors: the Parent and Volunteer Group for Trainable Multi Handicapped Students of Hoke County. A group which began with four persons three years ago who had the idea of a Halloween Carnival only two weeks before Halloween, has gained the support and help of ' many Hoke County citizens and raised enough money through the carnivals to be the sole supporter of "Sunny Day Camp." The camp would not have been possible without the help of: Mrs. Vicki Wright, Mrs. Janice Brock, and Hoke County School personel Allen Edwards, Dr. Linwood Simpson, Mrs Ivey Thigpen, Mrs. Clara Pope and Dr. Jenny Hayes.

"Next year the House Agriculture Committee will be drafting a farm bill that will guide our nation's agriculture policy for the rest of the decade and North Carolina's 8th Congressional District should have a say about this important bill," Hefner said. The hearing also will give farmers an opportunity to share their concerns about previous and current farm programs.
