i had ? itight stroke Monday morn
I tag, Sept. 24 and U now a patient
; In Moore Memorial Hospital.
? 1 talked to him Monday and his
?; speech was very good and he said
he could move his right arm and
?: kip. He is going the first of next
: week to Ffcyctteville for rehabilita
s- tk?. The docton said he was a
\ prime candidate, which 1 think
means he could recover 100 per
S cent. Let's hope this is true. Gatlin
*? said that the doctor told him that
he had just "missed the bullet."
He said almost in tears, that his
room was filled with flowers and
that he had been the top mail getter
. for two days straight. Yes, Gatlin
you do have friends.
He was especially appreciative
of a letter from Mrs. Floyd
i Monroe. It was two pages long and
ended with the following; "I will
give out, but I never give up." As
most of you know Mrs. Monroe is
from the Rockfish section of the
county and is now 88 yean young.
? ? ?
Oatlin as usual had some news
for this column, but it doesn't deal
with the weather. He said five days
every week his newspaper is
brought to the room by John Dune
McLean of Aberdeen. Mr.
McLean is now retired and is a
volunteer worker at the hospital.
He is 89 years of age.
Mr. John Dune is a native of
Hoke Colunty and was the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Make McLean who
lived off the Laurinburg Hwy
about two miles south of Raeford.
He is a brother of the late H.R.
(Hootch), Walt and Mrs. F.B. Sex
ton (Mable). There could be others
in the family, but I can't recall
them at this time.
I think this is amazing, but when
you retire, you must have
something to keep you busy or you
will fade away. Thank goodness
for golf and the publisher and
editor still letting me write this col
umn.

It seems that the correct answer
to the closing of the Antioch
School has come forth. Mrs. Gard
ner Bos tic, who lives between An
tioch and Dundarrach, said that
the high school closed in 1928. 1
believe this is right.
According to Mrs. Willie
Hodgin, the elementary school
closed in the spring of 1945. She
states that the kids came to
Raeford after the closing of the
school.
It anyone disagrees with these
dates, please state your case.

The Hoke High School Bucks
have posted the best opening
season record in many years. Let's
all get behind the Bucks and maybe
a title will again return to Hoke
County.
Cable TV rate hike rejected

Nashville, a county music station,

per month.
To be offered as premium chan

Channel and the Playboy Channel
at $9.93 each per month.
City Council members were con
cerned that many people who
, subscribe to cablevision do so
because of ESPN.
Under the plan that was to go in
? to effect in November, a
subscriber's bill would have gone
from $8.60 per month to at least
SI 1.60.
Subscribers will be offered an
option for converters for to be able

ed. For $5 a cordless remote con
trol can be put in, according to
Daniels.
From the prices given to coun
cilmen by Daniels, a subscriber
who gets everything offered by the
company including the remote
control will be billed $43.45 per
month.
If the rate hike had been approv
ed, another $1.40 could be added.
According to Phillips and
members of the council, many
residents are not satisfied with the
service being provided now by the
cable system.
"The only things we can control
are the rates," said Phillips, add
ing that it was promised in the con
tract agreement for Alert to have
the expanded service in operation
in six months after the opening of
the new system.
That promise was not kept, said
the manager.
Daniels explained that the tor
nadoes in Red Springs totally

Councilman Bob Gentry said he
would have to wait until 'the new
programming comes up in
November to see if any changes
have been made before he would
consider the rate hike.
It was upon Gentry's motion
that the hike failed.
Daniels informed the council
that legislation has just been pass
ed to allow cable systems to imple
ment 5% increases without prior
approval.
Historic district eyed
Members of the council took no
action, but heard a letter from Kay
Thomas on behalf of the Hoke
Historical Association concerning
the formation of a historical
district in downtown Raeford.
There will need to be an inven
tory taken of all buildings in the
area as to age, historic significance
and building type, Phillips said.
When this inventory is comr
Research rhe said;
The zoning ordinances govern
ing downtown will have to be
changed, said Phillips.
