N. C. S2.00 PER YEAS YOUR ISCHOOL NEWS! By K. A. MacDonald i The white schools of Hoke County, opened their doors for the 1948-49 session yesterday. All faculty memibers were in place. Principals and teachers have been requested to keep a very close watch on all of the pupils. Should one show signs of any ill ness what-so-ever they are to get him home immediately. They are also requested to watch their play so as not let anyone pver-do and to try to keep all children re latively quiet and in good shape physically. Parents are requested not to allow a child to go to school if he shows any signs of illness of any kind, until they are sure that he is perfectly well. We hope through the care and cooperation of parents and teachers to pre clude any chance of a late out break of polio. Monday morning a county-wide bus drivers meeting was held at the Hoke High building. This meeting was attended by all bus drivers in the county, principals, R. A. Smoak, W T. Gibson, Jr. and J. W. Turlington, state bus driver trainer A.^O.

Monday afternoon % principals’ meeting ^as held. At meeting it wnis ^ded to operaiiL5 short Oc tober 1, and start regular schedule on Monday, October 4. The short day schedule i^ operated for the benefit dl the farmers who need help in picking cotton and saving hay. We hope that the weather will be such that a longer short day schedule will not be neces sary. It was decided that beginning today that school would open each morning of the short day schedule at Ashemont, Mildou- son and Rockfish at 8:00 A. M., at Hoke High and Raefoird Grad ed at 8:30 A. M., closing at Hoke High and Raeford Graded ^at 12:00 noon and at Ashemont, Mildouson and Rockfish at 12:30 P. M. Bus drivers will give their pu pils their schedules, on the buses today., ' Monday evening at 8:00 o’clocl^, at Hoke High a' county-wide teachers meeting was, held. Rev. P. O. Lee, pastor of the Raeford Methodist church, held the de votional exercises. Mrs. Crowder of the Health Department, talk ed on how the Health Depart ment expected to cooperate with the schools and announced a schedule for visits to the schools by the nurses. This was in addi tion to the visits at the begin ning of school for the ■|physical check-ups. Mrs. Crowdervequest- ed that the teachers report cases that needed the attention of the health department. The county superintendent conducted the business part of the meeting and stressed the need for a careful watch over the children on ac count of polio and the need for the teaching of safety in all class es. During this part of the meet ing it was. voted by practically unanamous vote to request Dr. Richard Weaver of the Staty Commission on Resource-Use and the University’ of North Carolina to hold an extension class here this fall. We feel that this is an indication of an exceptionally good attitude on the part of the teachers as most of them do not need' his credit for certificates but are asking for it for assist ance in their work this year. After the business meeting, R.

The annual membership drive of the Hoke County Farm Bureau has started, according to R. E. Neeley, president. Neeley said that the drive was organized at a meeting of township chairmen last Friday night and that it would run for the remainder of the mon th. He urged all; farmers in tne county to consider the things the Farm Bureau has accomplished and predicted that they would realize it has done much to raise farm income in the country. The North Carolina Farm Bu reau—in conjunction with the American Farm bureau—works for every farmer—whether a member or not. Benefits derived from the Farm Bureau program are bound to help those outside the Farm Bureau as well as mem bers. Sixty percent of all farmers in the nation who are members of farm organizations belong to Farm Bureau. Yet, all those not members stand to gain immeas urably from the varied agricul tural program' sponsored a^od fought for by the American Farm Bureau and its 45 State Farm Bureaus. This is as it should be and the leaders of Farm Bureau would have it no other way. To insure all farmers a fair share in the nation’s Weal’S!, is one of the prime objectives of Fatn Bureau. One program jl>eing sponsored by the North CilSN^a SWm Bu reau points up more adequately than anything else the democratic nature of the organization. Th^t is the North Carolina Farm Bu reau Plant Disease Fund — de signed to increase facilities to fight plant diseases, which take an annual toll of $80,000,000 in damage to the various plants. in the State. Neeley also pointed to the fact that the Farm Bureau sponsored support prices on/cotton and to bacco and said that every farm er should be a member. 0— LIGHTNING HITS HOUSE Lightning struck the roof of Senator Ryan McBryde’s home here during a thunderstorm last Friday afternoon and knocked out a few shingles.

Telephone Men HearGrievancs Here Friday Urge Local Subscribers To Report Telephones Out Of Order To Company A.S a result'of the letter written by the Raefdfd Cnamber of Com merce to the State Utilities com mission regarding telephone ser- vic in Raefor'd three representa tives of the Carolina Telephone company cam.e to Raeford last Friday .morning to meet with di rectors of the Chamber and to learn the grievances the commtm- ity has about the service. Prior to the arrival of the vis itors, however, the Chamber’s directors decided that a fairer picture could be presented to the company by having more sub scribers present at the meeting so about 30-odd memibers and business people of the town were gathered in the courtroom when the m.en from the telephone comn- any arrived. The meeting was presided over by President R. B. Lewis of the Cham’oer of Comm.erce, and all present were allowed to state the difficulties they had had in the past and are still having tvith their telephones, and a’oout every one present-had a say. Following this Mr. W. C. Dar- row', commercial manager tor the Carolina Telephone and Tele graph company, spoke to the group and gave some idea of the difficulties the company has in getting telephone supplies and skilled labor. He also brought out the fact that only 40 reports of unsatisfactory telephone service were, received by the company’s Fayetteville office last month and that less than half of these turn ed out to be faulty equipment. Following Mr. Darrow, Mr. Lewis then urged all subscribers of telephone service in and a- round Raeford to make a point of reporting unsatisfactwy ser vice and lines out of order to the company every time they oc cur, in order that a true picture of the situation may be given. He said that he realized it was hard to do this where a phone would work one minute and not the next, but that it would ’oe the only way the company could know the trouble the instruments give here. FARM NOTES By A. S. Knowles PER>LL\EXT PASTURE: Finish seeding permanent pastures dur ing September if possi'ele, but not later than October 15. Be sure to put down ILme and fer tilizer before seeding. Prepare a good seed bed.
