Not all books The Hoke County Library flowed with entertainment last Friday as musi cians, storytellers and snake handlers performed. Here folk guitarist Tom Winslow plays for students during the special day of activities. Hohe Library abounds with entertainment By Elizabeth Burgess Hoke Co. Librarian National Library Week came to life on Friday. McLauchlin Elementary School PTA and the Hoke County Public Library sponsored a morning of special events for children and adults. Children from McLauchlin school, nursery schools, and thje community came between the hours of 10:00 and 12:00 to hear Tom Winslow, folk guitarist, Carol Walters, storyteller, Floyd Waddle, snake enthusiast, and Olive Jenkins, harpist. Many adults also came to look and listen to the performers and to have Becky Smith, health educator with the Hoke County Health Depart ment, take their blood pressure. Everyone who came to the library Friday had a wonderful time from Tom Winslow down to the albino vole. Because of the kindness of Luke McNeill, we have all the events on video tape. If you missed us on Fri day, come by the library and watch the people entertain you on video tape. The library thanks Rosa Gulledge for the display of dolls and christening dress. Rosa is so talented, and we appreciate her sharing her beautiful dolls with us. Rosa's works are displayed in the foyer and in the display case in front of the history room.

School signup ends Friday A failure on the part of parents to p re-register five- year -olds for school next fall, could cause the children to be behind others in the coming year, a Hoke County school official said last week. After a month, pre-registration ends this week, and less than half the normal number of students have been signed up, at least at one school, assistant Superintendent Dr. Ginny Hayes said. At South Hoke School, only about 17 had pre-registered as of Friday, when in years past almost SO children would have been signed up, Hayes said. Hayes was unsure of the number of pre-registered children at other elementary schools, but suspected that the number was lower than in previous years. Parents can still register their children in the fall, but would have lost the advantage of having the summer to correct deficiencies. Children registered in the spring are given sight and hearing tests, as well as screening for developmen tal skills. If there are problems, many can be corrected over the summer before the child enters school in the fall, Hayes said. Parents who do not pre-register their children in the spring lose that advantage, she added. Letters were sent out to all parents to inform them that April was pre-registration month. In order to register a child, a shot card must be presented to the school noting that all immuniza tion shots have been taken. Parents will also be required to fill out a family history health card. Pre-registration ends on Friday. Floyd decorated Spec. 4 Tony K. Floyd, son of Donald J. and Sylvia G.
