Polio Campaign In Hoke County Starts Monday $691 Sought During Next Two Weeks For Infantile Paralysis Fund. The 1945 Campaign against Infan tile Paralysis starts in Hoke County, the state, and the nation, on next Monday, January IS and lasts through January 31. County Chairman N. L. McFadyen has perfected the county organiza tion and urges that all local chair men get their workers started to work on Monday the 15th. Mr. Mc Fadyen also urges that every per son in the county make a donation to this fund. Hoke County was exceptionally blessed during the epidemic of last I year in that only one case developed in the courety. Out of thankfulness for being spared the tragedy and suffering so many counties suffered J we should all give liberally to this worthy cause. All who are familiar with the miracle that took place at Hickory, the establishment of the emergency hospital, and the nursing back to life and health and strength of the hundreds of children that were treated there, will be anxious to help in this worthy undertaking. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis put more money in the fight against the epidemic last summer and fall than the en tire state contributed last January. The county has a quota of $591, plus $100 for the single case of para lysis which it suffered during the epidemic last summer. This makes a total of $691 which will be sought during the campaign. Something like 90 workers have agree! to solicit ; contributions in each of the com will be given an opportunity to con - tribute.

I The regular January term of the i Superior Court of Hoke County may tint be held, it was reported here yesterday, due to the lack of cases. There are no criminal cases on the ducket ann the few civil cases that might be heard apparently are not in .shape for trial at the present time it was said. Cancellation of the term would mean a big savings to the people of the county, as special fees of court officials, jury fees and milage and a number of other expenses of the term would be saved if it is found pos sible to request Governor R. Gregg Cherry to cancel the term. This is not the first time since the establish ment of Hoke county in 1911, that there has been a shortage of material for the operation of superior court here, and some years ago a special act was enacted to allow the county court authorities to request the can celation of court terms when the docket so light that a term was not justified.

Stevens of Warsaw, originally calandered for this term. 0 Services At High School Sunday For Presbyterians Due to the reconstruction work on the church it will be necessary for the Presbyterian church to again hold their Sunday school and morn ing service in the high school.

S. Knowles. A committee was selected to head the drive. They are D. J. Dalton, Marshall Newton, N. H G. Balfour, F. F. McPhaul, N. F. Sinclair, M. C. Dew, Tom Cameron, and Daniel Mc Gill. Mr. Dalton was selected as chairman of the committee, and the REA office in Raeford was chosen as headquarters to pay in first years locker rental fee of $15.00. Farmers have an unusual oppor tunity at this time to improve their standard of living by renting one of the lockers within the next few days.

The individual lock er is of 6 cu. ft. in size and will hold from 200 to 250 pounds of meat cut, wrapped and ready for use.

It is expected that farmers will be eager to obtain one of these lockers within the next few days so that further steps can be taken in getting permission from WPB to build the plant, says Mr. Knowles.
