Employers group helping ESC
A committee of both private and
public Hoke County employers is
making suggestions on how to im
prove services offered by the local
Job Service.
The committee met for the first
time last week at the Employment
Security Office in Raeford.
"The purpose of this committee
is to critique office services and to
make necessary suggestions on
ways of improving the office to
better serve employees and the
community in general," Burnest
Graham, manager of both the
Laurinburg and Raeford Job Ser
vices Offices, said.
Graham said that an employer
committee has been in existence in
Laurinburg since 1980 and that the
time had come for Hoke County to
have a committee of its own.
"We want to refine our office
and make it better," he said.
Members of the committee in
clude: Molene Russell, personnel
director, House of Raeford; James
McGill, owner of The Total Look;
Bob Gregory, personnel director,
Faberge; Shirley White, personnel
director, Burlington Industries;
Rhonda Holt, personnel director,
City of Raeford; and Shirley Rush,
personnel manager, Hoke County.
John. Howard, Director of
Economic Development Commis
sion, is serving in an ex officio
position.
"This is something we are very
proud and excited about and we
want it to last a long time,"
Graham said.
"We hope that other employers
will either join this committee or
will have an input by making sug
gestions to members of the com
mittee." Graham added.
New savings and loan to open
A new savings and loan will
open its doors in Hoke County
within two months, a company
spokesman said Tuesday.
Progressive Savings and Loan,
Ltd. of Lumberton will begin
operating a branch office in
Raeford before March, spokesman
Franklin Teal said.
The opening of the Progressive
branch is a result of efforts earlier
this year to incorporate First Hoke
Savings with Hoke County
stockholders, Teal said.
Stock sales fell short of the 51 .5
million needed to form First Hoke,
and the merger with Progressive
was necessary in order to open the
doors on the new institution.
Incorporators of First Hoke
have notified their stock
subscribers of their recent decision
to support and become part of
Progressive.
Teal will serve as manager of the
Raeford office, and other incor
porators of First Hoke will be ap
pointed to advisory board and
management positions.
The establishment of the branch
office is subject to the approval of
Progressive shareholders and the
Savings and Loan Division, North
Carolina Department of Com
merce.
An application for the branch
approval has been filed in Raleigh.
The proposed Chairman of First
Hoke, R. Palmer Willcox, said
more details would be announced
soon regarding the location, ser
vices and opening date of the of
fice.
Progressive was established in
1978 with two branches located in
Lumberton.
It is a state chartered institution
with deposit accounts insured by
the Federal Savings and Loan In
surance Corporation (FSLIC).
Raeford will be the institution's
first office outside of Lumberton.
. . . Schools adopt medical policy
(Continued from page 1A)
number of years, the new health
agreement stresses that medicines
remain in their proper containers
with the proper identification
labels.
"We have a substantial number
of students at school who must
take medication each day. When
we run into problems, it is when
kids have to take medications for
an earache or something of that
nature," Ellis said.
After the policy was adopted by
the board, Ellis said, "I just hope
parents will cooperate and give us
the requested information."
In other business, board
members:
?Re-elected W.W. Cameron Jr.
to serve as chairman of the board
for another one year term.
Cameron was elected by a 3-2 vote.
?Named Robert A. Wright as
vice chairman for another one year
term.
?Received for information a
report that board member Shirley
Gibson has been appointed to
serve on the Federal Relations Net
work of School Boards.
?Heard a report that only five
county school roofs leaked during
last week's heavy rainfall.
?Tabled a decision to acquire
liability insurance for teachers
from Nationwide Insurance Com
pany and for school board
members from Alexander and
Alexander, Houston, Texas.
?Heard the results of a study
conducted by RTD Associates
which stated that a substantial
amount of money could be saved
by covering only the section of
roof requiring it on the Gibson
Center at Hoke County High
School.
