Straight from India? No. Straight from Raeford comes Jeffrey Strother riding Orka, the elephant belonging to the Franzen Bros. Circus. The circus stopped in Raeford Tuesday for two shows. Last week, local radio stations and businesses were giving away passes to ride the pachyderm. There were some happy children Tuesday night when their passes were turned into rides. . . . Around Town continued (Continued from page 1A) on a par three hole at Augusta. ? * ? Several months ago a letter came to The News-Journal office and was addressed: "To whom it may concern." It was put on my desk and from the information in the letter it has brought forth to me, one of the most enjoyable hour visits in my life. The letter was from Miss Lottie Raynor Womble of Wagram and contained information about some old pictures that she had in her possession. She had the names of a lot of the people in the pictures. but in one she could not identify anyone, except her father. She was seeking someone who could help with identification of the people. In one of the pictures that she could identify the people, the name of my mother was in it. Of course this caused me to want to get in touch with Miss Womble. I wrote her a letter and stated that the pictures she had were of interest to me and that I would like to come over and see them. She wrote me back and said she would be home in the middle of December. She gave me her phone number and I tried to get in con tact with her in December, but she would always be away when I call ed. Last Wednesday afternoon, no golf Raz was out of town, I told Mary Alice I was going to try to get up with Miss Womble again. I called and she was at home. We went over to Wagram and had a wonderful visit with Miss Womble and looked at the pictures. The picture that had my mother in it was taken at Jackson Springs in 1908. After promising to return the pictures (four) the next day, the fine lady let me bring them to Raeford and have prints made of them. I returned them the next day. I know how much she prized the pictures and I would not have been offended if she had refused my request. Miss Wombles' father was the late Seaton J. Womble who worked at Raeford Hardware until he opened the Scotland Hardware in Wagram in 1910. Mr. Womble was in the hardware business for over 65 years and he died in Wagram in 1976 at the age of 91 Vi. The picture for which I need identification of people, was taken about 1920 at Lake Waccamaw. It is a group of men with a large catch of fish. If anyone thinks they can help with the picture, please call me or write me a letter. I want to thank Miss Womble for being such a gracious hostess and letting me take the pictures to be copied. So if you get a letter addressed to whom it may concern, be sure to check it out. It could lead to a fine experience. Parnell Fertilizer Co. More than just the best custom applicators around!

Last week the roof was painted green, and once the bricks are cleaned, the exterior of the facility is expected to look much as it did when it was built around 1900. Inside the building, new plumb ing has been installed and a por tion of the concrete floor which was removed will be repoured. Fundraising efforts are still underway, and thus far the Depot Restoration Fund has reached about a third of its $30,000 goal, Chamber spokesman Steve Parker said. Recent contributors to the depot are: Heritage Federal Savings and Loan, Raeford Plumbing and Heating, Dr. Mike White, Mr. and Mrs. Raz Autry, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred K.

College group OK'd (Continued from page 1A) In other action, Commissioner James Albert Hunt made a motion to make members of the present Hoke County Community College Foundation an official Advisory Board to Sandhills Community College. The advisory council will be a group of citizens responsible for the college, a member said. Sandhills Community College President Dr. Raymond Stone has promised that the Hoke County satellite will get a director for next year's sessions. The proposed director will answer to the advisory council. "We really need your blessing and endorsement," Foundation member and Vocational Director for the Hoke County Schools Harold Gillis said. "We have many students that would like to go on to new endeavors at branches," Gillis said. Hoke County Commission Chairman John Balfour said that, according to information supplied him at a recent meeting in Raleigh, this area is already blessed with ample colleges. There are three colleges within a 30 mile radius, said Balfour. "We have got to realize that not everybody has transportation to get to these branches," Gillis said. "We're not trying to make a university site. We're trying to make a workable college for the people of Hoke County," Gillis said. "I have mixed emotions because 1 can see future costs," Balfour said, adding that he does not want to see money "siphoned off" the county's public school program for the college. The college will work "hand in glove" with the school system, Gillis said. "I think we (the residents of Hoke County) can gain a lot by what the college will bring here," Gillis said.. "1 don't feel it should be misconstrued to say that since we endorse the committee (advisory council), we will commit the dollars," said Balfour. In other action, the commission: ?Tabled action on endorsing legislation concerning salaries and fees for registers of deeds. ?Passed a budget amendment. ?Went into executive session for over one-half an hour for per sonnel matters.
