Balfour, chairman of the Hoke County Board of Com missioners, has been named the Outstanding County Commis sioner in the state for 1985 by the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners. Balfour, who has been a county commissioner for 21 years, was given the award at the 78th Annual Conference of the Association held in Raleigh August 8-11. The people of Hoke County have re-elected Balfour four consecutive times. The Hoke County native has served as chairman of the board for nine years and chairman of the Hoke County Social Services Board for six years. He has served on the Association's Board of Directors since 1981 and was a member of its committee on Human Resources and Long Range Planning. "As a member of our Board, Balfour has shown himself to be a man of unique leadership ability," said Association Past President James Weathers in presenting the award at the Annual Banquet. "He has offered a steady guiding hand to both new and veteran board members. He is always there with the question which needs to be asked and the solution which needs to be considered." During Balfour's tenure on the Hoke County board, many pro grams have been implemented. The county hired its first manager in 1966 and the county's annual budget increased from $500,000 in 1964 to nearly $6 million today. The county has built one new of fice building, renovated another one and is about to begin restora tion of the county courthouse. Commissioners recently appointed the first county planning board, and in the effort to expand the economic base, the commissioners hired an economic development director and appointed a commis sion to work with the director. Balfour also has been named Citizen of the Year by the Raeford Kiwanis Club. As a farmer and agribusi nessman, he has received numerous awards from various agricultural organizations. He serves on the steering committee of the National Cotton Council. Balfour is president of Inverleith Farms in Hoke County. Balfour and his wife, Joan, have one son, John G. Balfour Jr., who also is a farmer and agribusi nessman. They reside near the Lumber Bridge community. . . .Grant bid fails (Continued from page 1A) points out of 200 in benefit to low and moderate income families, she said. In the section where other public and private funds are considered, Hoke received no points out of a possible 100. Although requested to do so, the Hoke commissioners decided not to put even token local funds in the application. In a final catagory, consistency with state policies and programs, Hoke County again scored a perfect 100 out of 100. Craver said the top scoring 49 applications were funded. There was a total of $34.5 million available for the grants. Hoke County's grant request ap plication was for $696,757. The money would have meant the rehabilitation of 56 houses in Tylertown and improvements on two streets in the area. The Lumber River Council of Governments (COG) made Hoke's application for the grant, as they did last year. A meeting is scheduled for August 23 in Fayetteville to review applications with county and COG officials, Craver said. When was the last time you ate seaweed? Probably yesterday. Seaweed that's been heated, dried and ground to a powder is com monly used in making ice cream, bread, salad dressing, chocolate milk, pastries, and milkshakes. Waiting What could this patch of collar ds be waiting on? The season 's first frost. Many people will say that collards picked before the first slight freeze are not fit to eat. With the heat being unrelenting throughout the summer months, the leafy vegetables may be in store for a long wait. J . . . Around Town continued (Continued from page 1) show emotion when they miss a shot or their opponent does the same thing. Sunday Green got upset when his second shot went over the green on the seventh hole. He started to complain to an official about the condition of the green. In fact he was losing his temper. Now most of us know that you can't play any game as well when you are mad. Trevino, instead of agreeing with Green, told him "to calm down." This Green did and went on to win the tournament. Yes, golfers are a different breed of sportsmen. * ? ? I can not understand why people in this country on the 40th year of the dropping of the atomic bomb are so upset about the event. It was 40 years ago last week that the bomfcs were dropped on Hirashima and Nagasaki. This event could have been the most important in my life and for many more former servicemen in Hoke County. We were either in the Philippine Islands or on the way there for the invasion of Japan. There is no telling how many more American soldiers' lives would have been lost if the bomb had not been dropped. One of these could have been my life. It might not mean much to the group siding today with Japan, but it means a lot to yours truly. I imagine most of these folks are too young to remember the start of the war in December 1941. The Japanese bombed our ships before declaring war and killed thousands of our men in Hawaii. If you will take the tour of Pearl Harbor, this can be explained to you today. When 1 arrived in Manila you couldn't find a building that was not over 75<7o in ruins and many small children running around on the streets who had never known who their parents were and had no one to care for them. This was caused by the Japanese. Yes, the war is over and we should forgive and forget. But let's, not forget just one side of the issue. If there had been no bomb ing of Pearl Harbor or invasion of Poland, I doubt we would have made the bomb. We don't need an atomic war, because it will destroy the earth,, but maybe the effects of the two dropped in Japan will cause us to respect it too much for anyone to. want to use it. I will try to forget, but it is hard, when you read and hear things, from people who don't know what they are talking about. Prtcw PfactH* Aypt 11, thru IS, IftS Participating Store* Only.
