y VOLUME XLIU NUMBER 20 YOUR ISCHOOL NEWS! By K. A. MacDonald The roads leading in to the Eockfish school from the highway have been fixed. Every one con nected with the school wishes, to thank the highway folks for fix ing them. It is certainly much easier and nicer getting in to the school building. The Ethel Hanley Marienettes were at Hoke High on last Friday. They showed the “•l^izard of Oz.” Both the high school students and those of the Raeford Graded school enjoyed the performance. We hope that all who saw it will read the story. On Monday afternoon Messrs Faircloth, Smoak, Jones, Turling ton and MacDonald went to Fay etteville where they attended a meeting called by Dr. Clyde A. Erwin, State superintendent of Public Instruction for the purpose of organizing the teachers for study and work on a new circu lation bulletin on health, physical education and safety. A committee of teachers will be organized in the county to work on each of the three topics and will submit their findings and recommendations to Dr. Erwin sometimes in, the spring. The second meeting of the ex tension class in Resource-Use was held Monday evening. The third meeting will be held hext Monday evening at 7 o’clock in the Hoke High building. This will be the last chance for anyone wishing to register for credit. We will be glad to have anyone who . wishes to re new a certificate to register. W. P. Phillips, teacher of Vo cational Agriculture at Hoke High, attended a district meeting of agricultural teachers held at Carthage, on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Cameron’s class in Ancient History of Hoke High held a Roman banquet on Tuesday after noon. The pupils were dressed in the Old Roman costumes. Recita tions and forms were recited in Latin. Dates, grapes, almonds, crackers, etc. were served just as the Romans served at their ban quets in Rome. The whole thing was very effective and added a lot to the interest in the study of the Old Roman Empire. The Trades and Industries shop at Upchurch school has ibeen moved out of the new lunchroom back to the old shop, making way for the opening of the lunchroom when the school goes on long day schedule the first of the second month. Last Thursday afternoon a countywide colored principals meeting was held at the Upchurch school. At this meeting it was de cided to operate the schools on short day schedule until the end of the first month, as it was thought that by that time the bulk of the crops would be harvested and the people would be ready to enter their children full time. The teachers are using this extra time in visiting the homes of the pa trons and in preparing school buildings and programs for the years work. S. E.

This trial was in I'egard to a shooting match the two had near their home north of Raeford some weeks ago, shooting at each'other with the result that Miller was hospitalized and still has an eye in critical condition. He apparently got the worst of the affair because he was armed with a 410 guage shotgun while Ray had a 12 guage. In view of Miller’s very high doctor, ambulance and hospital bills the judge gave them suspended sentences of one year each on condition that they each pay one-half the Joills and the court costs and be' of good be havior for two year^. Joe McKay, colored of Manches ter, paid $10 and ,the costs for driving with bad! brakes and Francis E. Gibbs, i^hite of Fay etteville, paid $25 and the costs for* driving without a driver’s license. Libby Wilson, colored, was charged with careless and reckless driving and damage to personal property in connection with a wreck with Raymond Wilson. The State accepted a plea of guilty of speeding and sentence of six months was suspended on condi tion that he pay Ihe costs and $265 ito Raymond! Wilson for damages. . . - Lilly Belle Moore and John H. Johnson, colored, entered pleas of guilty of assaulting Pringle Tread well, also colored, with a deadly weapon. Treadwell entered the same plea for assaulting Johnson. Lilly Belle Moore got 60 days su spended on payment of $25 and the costs. Johnson got 60 days to be suspended on payment of $25 and the costs and o/ne-half of Treadwell’s doctor bill. Treadwell got the same sentence and paid out but Johnson went to the roads. J. D. Walters, white man charg ed with stealing a car and hit and nm driving, waived preliminary hearing and bond was set at $1000. He could not be released from bail, however, if he posted bond due to the fact that he is under sen tence from Moore county re corder’s court already. . Henry Howard Hollingsworth, colored, pleaded guilty of driving drunk and sentence of 60 days was suspended on payment of $100 and the costs. Viola Torrance, colored, got 30 days suspended on payment of the costs for violating the prohibition laws by possessing home brew.

(Continued on back page) HHS Loses, 7-6 To Elizabethtown Here Thursday Fans see even contest as Locals are edged in Second Night game here The Hoke High Bucks lost a close one to Elizabethtown high here last Thursday ngiht, 7-6, in their second home game under lights. The game saw several fumbles and each team threatened to score several times but wound up with only the margin of one point after touchdown making the difference. Both teams played a hard game and were about 4s evenly matched as the score in dicates. The visitors threatened several times in the first quarter but the Bucks held them off. Late in the second period, however, with few seconds to play Elizabethtown pushed over a score after getting the ball on the Raeford 5-yard line on a penalty. The kick was good and turned out to be the margin of victory. After the half the home team seemed to have the upper hand for some minutes, getting within the 10-yard line more than once but lacking the punch to get a- cross the goal line. In the final period with only three minutes to play Blue went over for the score on a hidden ball play. Free man’s kick for the point after was wide. Due to injuries the lineup which faces Laurinburg there tomorrow night will be changed from the usual starting lineup. McMillian is., working at wingback in place of Gulledge and Lunday is re placing McMillian at end. Baker, a promising freshman, will be ready to replace either McMill ian or Niven in the' backfield. 0 Democratic Oratory Spreads Over State RALEIGH, Oct. 12—-rop fUght Democratic orators are ringing the rafters from mountains to thie sea this week.

The battery at present has open ings for only six men. FQling of this quota will bring the unit up to its authorized strength but addi tional applications for enlistment will be taken. Names of persons making applications for enlist ments -vrtll bd on a Waiting list will be notified when addi tional enlistments are authorized. Men between the ages of 17 and 18 and one-half may inlist in the National Guard for three years instead of taking military train ing under selective service. After a year’s service with the Battery men are eligible for competetive examinations for West Point. Persons interested should con tact Staff Sergeant Clarence M. Willis at the Armory.

Members of the National Guard each receive a full day’s pay for two hours training per week and full two weeks’ pay during the annual summer camp. They get accrued longevity pay for a full enlistment i)eriod. Persons interested ar^ invited to attend training drills of the Guard unit every Monday evening from 7:30 to 9:30 at the Armory. POSTPONE McCAIN MEMORIAL EXERCISES The memorial exercises which were to have been held by the Board of Directors at the Sanatori um at McCain on October 27 have been postponed, according to Dr. H. S. Willis, superintendent. Dr. Willis stated that the new date would be announced. Children to continue at Raeford school pending Judge’s decision The heanng before Judge Q. K. Ni.:T.ocks n: \'ne r.inth judicial distr’Ct -.vhicr. wa-: .scheduled for Friday (invoivina -.he issue of whether cer:a..ri ch.i,iren in this cou.-'.ty shttiia go to school in-Rae- ford or Rock fish .> was postponed to a date to be set later because of inability of the judge to be present. The c'aildren. of grammar school age. live in the vicinity of Parker’s Methodist church on die west side of Puppy creek. The situation now is apparently that the children came to Raeford to school on the first day on a bus which stopped for high school children.- They were not issued books in Raeford and were not admitted. Since that tim.e they have attended school here under an injunction which prevents their transfer to the Rockfish school by the board of education until the matter is given a hearing before a judge. The board of education has the area in the Rockfish school dis trict. ^ The board had been petitioned to move the area to the Raeford district at its meeting on August 31 relative to the opening of the schools in view of he polio situa tion. At that time the board took the matter under advisement for action at their next regular meet ing. School started and the in- jqftion vf.a.s. yissued before %aaTd reh*^d tMir->hetibB matter. This action, however, was denial of the petition. The poinf of the parents in volved seems to be that their children have to do much unnec essary riding to Rockfish and much waiting there for school in the mornings and for busses in the afternoons, and that the Rock fish school is farther from their homes than Raeford. The Board of Education is ap parently concerned with the teacher load at Rockfish, four teachers now teaching 111 pupils. 16 pupils being involved in the disagreement, their transfer would result in the probable loss of a teacher at Rockfish with the re sulting increased load on the Ifazec remaining teachers and its educa tional disadvantage to the re maining pupils. To Act On Cemetery Next Wednesday night, October 20, there will be a public meeting at the courthouse at 8:00 p. m. to take action on the maintenance of the Raeford cemetery. The subject will be discussed at the meeting and an organiza tion will be formed to take over the operation and main* tenance of the cemetery. Many citizens of the town and county are of the opinion it is high time some action is taken to keep the cemetery in proper shape, and feel that this can be best accomplished by a permanent organization. Civk clubs and churches are urged to have representatives at the meeting and all interested individuals are invited. The meeting has the sponsorship of the Kiwanis club and the Chamber of Commerce and the organization when formed will have their support. FARM NOTES By A. S. Knowles Cotton Farm Stonge Information has. just been re ceived cqnceming the storage of cotton on the farm. Fanners wiH want to contact the ’Triple-A of fice to get further infocmattoii; however, some of the things that farmers will want to know is quoted below. “A farm structure may be ap proved by the county committee for storage of cotton as coUatwal for a loan if it is in such condition that it will (a) protect from damage by rain, snow, flood, and ground water, (b) provide laro- tection from damage by poultry and live-stock, and (c) provide reasonable protection against loss by fire and theft.
