Race action at Charlotte-Roger Mandeville
scrambles from his burning Mazda RX-7 race car
during last Saturday's sports car racing at Charlotte
Motor Speedway. Mandeville was unhurt . The
races were a prelude to this weekend's NASCAR
racing at Charlotte where Ford driver Bill Elliott Is
going for a $1 million bonus if he can win the World
600. The photo was taken by Graham Niven of
Raeford who operates Autosports Photographies.
...City budget given go ahead
(Continued from page 1A)
given the lower rate because of the
other contributions they make to
the local economy, Phillips said.
In addition to providing jobs,
the local industries pay a large por
tion of city and county taxes.
The increases in the rates will
allow the dty to operate the water
and sewer utility in the black,
Phillips said.
In addition to the water and
sewer increases, residential gar
bage collection will increase from
$1.30 per month to $2.50.
Phillips had proposed raising the
fees to $3.30 per month, but coun
cilman Graham Clark and others
objected to the hike.
Clark suggested the $2.50 com
promise.
In order to make up for the loss
of revenue in garbage fees, the
council scrapped a plan to pur
chase a new $38,000 dump truck
for the street department.
The departments present truck,
which is not running, will be
repaired with a new engine and
transmission, Phillips said.
Repair work is estimated to run
about $10,000.
The proposed budget also in
cludes:
? A combined water and sewer
and general fund capital reserve
balance of S630.000.
? Funds to allow the purchase
of a new city fire truck for
$105,000.
? Funds for a new $12,000
police car and another approx
imate $117,000 for equipment for
other city departments.
? At least $10,000 for
downtown revitalization and
$12,500 for economic develop
ment.
? Funds for merit pay raises for
city employees.

Telephone vote delayed again
After a lengthy discussion,
members of the North Carolina
Utilities Commission failed to
reach a decision Monday on a bid
by Hoke County residents to
establish extended telephone ser
vice with Fayetteville.
The final decision on whether to
grant a locally supported request
by the commission's public staff to
order Carolina Telephone Com
pany to conduct a cost study of the
extended service and also to grant
a September public hearing in
Raeford, could be delayed until
after a new commission is seated in
July, sources have speculated.
Officially, all the commissioners
are saying is that a vote on the mat
ter has not been taken, Hoke
County Economic Developer John
Howard said.
Howard is acting as a
spokesman for the Hoke County
committee which is working on
establishing the extended service.
The effort to establish the ser
vice has received support from the
City of Raeford, Hoke County
commission, the. Raeford-Hoke
Chamber of Commerce, all of the
members of the local legislative
delegation and U.S. Rep. William
G. Hefner.
The matter was presented to the
Utility Commission on May 6, and
a vote has been delayed since that g
time. "
Carolina Telephone objected to
conducting the cost study, because
the results could challenge a com
panywide policy of setting rates,
the firm's attorney said during a
May 6 hearing in Raleigh.
Under the rates schedule
Carolina Telephone has projected
for the services of tying the 87S <
Raeford exchange with Fayet- "
teville, the company would in
crease annual revenues by Si. 7
million, company spokesmen have
confirmed.

Mrs. Jeff Harris left a copy of a
picture that ran in the Roxboro
Courier Times recently. The pic
ture was of the Oman National
Parachute team, which is training
at the Raeford Parachute Center
North of Raeford. The team was
visiting the North American
Aerodynamics Plant in Roxboro.
The plant manufactures para

The picture shows the team

The classes of 1934 and 1935 of
Raeford High School will hold
their 50th & 51st reunion on Satur
day, June 8 in Southern Pines. The
response from members of both
classes has been more than ex
pected. We hope those that have
not contacted their chairman,
would do so immediately, so that
final planes can be set.
It does hurt to receive letters or
phone calls from former
classmates who say they cannot
come because of illness in their
family. It makes you want to give a
prayer of thanks for the health that
you have and didn't think too
much about.
You know most of us don't
realize how lucky we are until we
hear of some tragedy that has came
to a friend or even to an enemy.
We just assume that we will go on
living and nothing could happen to
us. This has been brought home to
me in present weeks and I hope I
won't forget it.
Maybe we all should do a little
thinking!
I don't believe anyone has been
any happier than Jack Nicklaus
was at Pinehurst Sunday. He has
won more major golf tournaments
than anyone in the world, but
when his son won the North-South
Amateur, I believe he would have
swapped all of his majors for that
victory.
The tears he shed were tears of i
joy. Yes, Jack is a family man. We
need more of them!
