I personally ex perienced several break-ins during that year in Hoke County and none of them have been solved. Your article emphasizes the need of the County Commissioners to provide additional support for the Hoke County Sheriff's Depart ment. Dave Barrington and his staff have been a bargain for the citizens and taxpayers for Hoke County for many years, but 1 am afraid that the cost of this bargain has been primarily borne by pro perty owners who have experienc ed robberies. I hope that the County Commis sioners will reaffirm its support of the fine job that Sheriff Barrington has done by increasing the budget for the Sheriffs Department. Very truly yours, Joe McLeod Cable company bill is 4 an insult* To the Editor: This month's NOT- Alert Cable T.Y. Co. bill was an insult--not the $1.85 increase-but any increase when the service has decreased. When 1 called the local NOT-Alert number, 1 protested the higher bill and the poorer service. The NOT Alert spokeswoman offered me a chance to buy a converter so that I could receive more T.V. coverage! Now, really!!! At one time in the past six weeks we were receiving the same pro gram on four channels. As of 11:30 a.m., today, Feb. 8, 1985, I found the following: CH#2 SHOWTIME; 3: CBN; 4: WCCB; 5: WRAL-ABC; 6: WECT-NBC; 7: PBN; 8: ABC; 9: ABC; 40: Nothing; 11: WTVD-CBS; 12: Nothing and 13 S.C.-CBS. In others words, duplication on three channels and two others are not functioning. My purpose in joining the cable network was for variety but this has diminished in recent months. Is there anyone else out there with the same complaint? If so, please write Raeford City Hall. They need to know! Sincerely yours, Catherine P. McLean Turlington PTA helping students To the Editor: Recently the J.W. Turlington PTA sponsored a calendar sales. The community response to this project was overwhelming. As a result, the students at Turl ington will receive a computer, SSOOO worth of additional instruc tional materials are being ordered and the school will soon have fresh brightly painted hallways and a microwave oven for the staff has been purchased. With that kind of support our children are bound to achieve. Test scores cannot do anything but rise. It is important for teachers to know that the community is behind them in their effort to pro vide the best possible education for our children. We know that everyone cannot always volunteer to go to the schools to help out, but the $4 many paid for a calendar to help out will mean more and new in structional materials for our children. Many sincere thanks to all the citizens of Raeford and Hoke County for the support and effort you are giving to Turlington School. The Turlington PTA meets every second Monday night at 7 p.m. in the school auditorium. All citizens are welcome to attend. Mack Sessoms President IRS mileage check can be farmer *8 pain Dear editor: The IRS has a new rule that a merchant or a farmer or a rancher using a car or pickup in his business must keep a daily log showing exactly how much mileage is used for business purposes only. You can't count driving to the cafe for coffee or picking up the kids after school. And you can't guess. Got to be accurate. I put a notebook on the seat of my pickup and tried this out for a day. My log for the day reads: 6 a.m. Backed out of my garage. Since the odometer doesn't register mileage when you're going backward, but backing is deducti ble if it's for business purposes, got out and measured the distance I backed. 102 feet. Drove down to the pasture and stopped. Thought I spotted a new born calf. Logged the mileage. 2,1191/2 feet. Got out and walked over to the new calf. Wasn't a calf. Was a newspaper caught on a weed. Drove back to the house. 2,1191/2 feet. Couldn't decide whether driving back was deducti ble. Drove into town for breakfast at the cafe. 5 miles. Wait a minute. Erase that. After lunch heard cow bawling. Woke me up from my nap. Jumped in pickup to check on new-born calf. Forgot to check mileage. Found calf. Don't know how far 1 drove. Can't estimate. Against IRS ruling. Some ruling. Wrote Congressman. Yours faithfully, J. A. FFA Members James Graham, Michael McRae, Mac Langdon, Billy Beasley, Robert Wright and Donald Lindsay are hoping to make agriculture number one in Hoke County. KEEP AGRICULTURE #1! IN HOKE COUNTY Agriculture is Hoke County's and America s number one industry and feeds half the world. To insure our future as a world leader, our strength and sustenance will have to come from the land and the young people who will protect and manage it. Young people in Hoke High School today will be tomorrow's leaders. Agriculture is a career where young people can make a difference and work with the latest sophisticated technology. Career opportunities are unlimited if they have the right skills, because today's agriculture is marketing, sales and research. It's biogenetics, chemistry, engineering and a whole lot more. Young people in Hoke High School can get a head start on developing those skills; half a million young leaders are already confident about their futures because of the experience they are getting now in vocational agriculture and the FFA. The future is in their hands. Keep agriculture # 1 in Hoke County - support vocational agriculture and the FFA! (AfiMCUITURE) WO** COUNTY FFA It VOCATIONAL AGJBCULTUHE
