One-on-One help sought f ' j>- v'' ? By Ed Miller Hoke County's new One-on One Director, Charles W. Bailey, is overjoyed about the program and wants to get other local residents just as excited. What the Hoke County native needs in his program are adult volunteers to help potentially troubled children. Being a brother or sister to a child just takes a little time and so much can be gotten out of it from both parties, said Bailey. "I think it's an excellent pro gram and I'm looking forward to it," said former Hoke County Schools Superintendent Raz Autry. "I would encourage anyone in terested to make time for it," said Autry. The time needed to invest in the future of-a child is four hours, one afternoon, per week, said Bailey. A volunteer will be assigned a child for one year, he said. "It's a brother, sister at mosphere," said Bailey. It is really little trouble to be a volunteer, said Bailey. The director will do all the train ing for adults. A volunteer, after being trained, will show the child his or her in terests and try to capture the in terest of the student. Bailey will direct students in the program. "I work with them (children) preparing them for their big brother or big sister," he said. "My biggest hurt is not having enough volunteers," said Bailey. The man said there are children in this county who need help and want help. It would be a shame to let these students go to waste because there are not enough adults in this coun ty that care. "It's up to the county to make sure it works," said Bailey. "I think it will give these adults a chance to do something." When an adult volunteers to help, it does more for the child than just give him something to do for four hours a week. "The kid has a living example in front of him that tells what grow ing up is all about," said Bailey. Bailey has committed himself to the program, he said. "The most important minute I spend is a minute I spend helping somebody," Bailey said has been his motto all the way through his Charles W. Bailey career. Bailey is retired from the military after 28 years. The program leader is a former military policeman, a Vietnam veteran, an ex-paratrooper, M.P. instructor qualified and is an of ficial for sports activities at Hoke County High School. Bailey jogs from six to eight miles everyday, which attests to his mental consistancy and his physical stamina. Bailey can be reached at Up church Jr. High School at 875-4292. All calls are private and will be kept in confidence, he said. "1 want to get the people excited about it."

Residents of the building all say they heard four shots. According to resident Robert Lee McFayden, three shots were fired on the second floor of the building, and one on the third floor.

"I'm gonna leave here. I got to go where my money takes mp, but I'm gonna leave here. It's a bad place," he said. So far, the Raeford Police Department has been called to the building 16 times in 1985. "It's a bad place," McFadyen said.
