Almost every township .in Hoke coun ty has a contribution. These con tributions came ftom boys and girls of the High School Joiimalistic Club, sponsored by- Misses Freeman and Cress of the high school faculty. We are proud to print these items. They are so well written that our copy seems a little mediocre.. That good work is^being done by. the Eng lish classes, and in journalism has been evident in the high class of the material and the makeup of “Hoke Highlights,” the school paper. The interest in the News-Journal will double if these contributions continue. Norman McL. McNeill, of Fort Moultrie, spent the weekend with his mother, Mrs. John A. McNeill. Billy Whitted, of Goldsboro, was a visitor in Raeford over the weekend. • * «- * ' Ben Currie is spending a few days at home before leaving for Florido to resume his new duties. Proposition to abolish alternate numberinji of highway routes is one of the unfairest pieces of legMatUm \«diich has yet been introduced in the General Assembly.. Referehoe is specifically ' to the bill fathered by Senator E. C. Brooks, Jr^ 'of .Dur ham. It is a measure aimed directly at diverting tourist traffic from tee hi^way which passes terou^^ Ral- and Fayetteville and giving teat ;o to the highway whiifii passes through Durham. There were many who believed that the road through Raleigh and Fayetteville should have had tee original and sole designation as No.,' 1.5—a route which runs by tee same number from Walterboto, S. C., to Rochester, N. Y. However, by com- propiise years ago tee road through Durham was given the designation 15, while the road' through Fayette ville and Raleigh—although shorter accepted the.designation 15-A.,This is what the Durhath: crew is trying to take away from Fayetteville and Raleigh today. We hope that the General Assem bly will not overlook the fact teat teere is a specific property value in a thingyas intangible as a highway num ber. Tourist traffic follows the num ber. Rooming houses, hotels, cafes, filling stations, and numerous other businesses have been created as a result of those two numbers and one letter. If they are taken away there will be a loss to those who have invested. It is not the purpose of the North Carolina General Assembly to loit one section of North Carolina for the benefit of another.—^The Fay etteville Observer.

He was here in^ the interest of establishing a forum in Hoke county. Last Tuesday night the Ashemont P. T. A. held its regular monthly meeting and celebrated the tenth an niversary of its founding. A pageant, written and staged by Miss Myrtice Barrington Af the school faculty de- pteted the work of the association during the 10 years. The first scene of the pageant de picted the organization meeting. That was held, in the original building by Mrs. Jesse Gibson of Dundarrach. (Everyone regretted Mrs. Gibson’s in ability to attend this meeting). Mrs. Gibson called the meeting .to order, steted its purpose, and introduced Mrs. Martin, of Greensboro, state organizer, who /explained P. T. A. work.

If a child is sick please keep him at home for his own sake and for the sake of his classmates, but if he isn’t sick please see that he is in school every day fbr his own sake and for the sake of his school. Teacher allotment (the number of teachers allowed for each school) is dependent on average daily attendance. Hence, poor attendance can cause a school to lose a teacher. A child who is irregular in attendance is handicapped in his work and stands NERVOUS TENSION Shows in both face and You are not fit company for yourself or anyone else when you are Tense, Nervous, “Keyed-u^.

Plans were made for further improving the lunchroom and school grounds. Messrs J. W. Spruill and Luther Powell appeared before the'^ard of Commissioners on Monday in regard to the roads over which the school busses of the, coimty travel. It was agreed at this meeting that when the busses are routed next year that Mr. Powell or Mr. Spruill would go with the representative of the school com mission and the superintendent and try to work out a plan by which all roads over which busses travel would be placed on the county road map and cared for in an adequate mariner. We appreciate very much the interest that is being taken in the matter by the commissioners and those in charge of Jthe roads and we feel like our busses will have better roads to trav el over next year than they ligve haj this year. The interest showir^ the grand jury in the busses and the roads we feel is also a big help. k 1 ^ I’m out ol date, but my successor, the Myers Rutomatie Electric sell-oiling, water system is up to the minute.
