Of special local interest has been the controversy whether or not the section of highway, bn leaving Fayetteville, would con tinue on 301 through Lumberton or whether it would connect with 15-A and come through here. The Highway commission, un der Governor Cherry, favored the former route, while both the S. Department of Roads and the S. C. Highway commission, favored the latter route through Raeford and Laurinburg. Governor Scott’s Highway com mission seems to be in favor of routing the highway through here, according to a report in the News and Observer, .Monday, which said in part: ‘“The tenta tive plan for North Carolina to run the main north-south, route down U.

' \ Miss Josephine Hall read a list of problems and situations Hoke County as seen by a ntm- ber of leading citizens of the coun ty. Most of these are problems we can easily solve; others no easily but the first step tov perfection is to realize that pi ob' lems and situations do exist get* ))usy correcting them, only the Home Demonstrajtion Club women but every citizen in Hoke County. Mrs. Margaret Sinclair, Publicity Chairman. so and not Younger Snead was installed as president of the Raeford Kiwanis club at the regular weekly meet ing of the club at the high school cafeteria last Thursday night.

Don’t trust the appear ance of the seed; let the Seed Testing Laboratory of the N. C. Department of Agriculture in Ra leigh give you a germination' re port. Mail them a representative sample of youi^ seed to be sure. With the large cut in cotton acre age a good stand on the allotted acre is a necessity. A knowledge of the percentage of good seed wiU serve as a guide for the plant ing rates per acre. Don’t wait too late as it may take as much as a month or more to get a report on your seed. Good seed is a good investment, so don’t let your seed gjst too far from the breeder. The extra price of godd cotton seed will pay off in yield and quality and a small amount will produce seed for the following years crop. Tobacco Seed Cleaning Farmers who haven’t already cleaned their tobacco seed can have them cleaned free at the County Agents office. The air cleaner set up there can do a pret ty good job of removing chaff, trash, and faulty, immature seed. Farm Family Living With many things competing for the Farm Family Living Dol lar, it will be wise for the farm families to produce and'conserve the major portion of their food and free dollars for other items of family living. Although indi cations are that there will be plen tiful supplies of foods in 1950. this does not mean that their prices will be lower. Records show that the largest amount (37 per cent) of the money spent for family living (not per cent of total income) by farm families in the South goes for food. To produce more food and allow none to go to waste is the (Continued on page 4) 0^ Local Lady’s Sister Dies In Charlotte I Mrs. L. R.

Rebels Split Two With Barnesville The Raeford Rebels, local semi- pro outfit, ^lit a doubleheader with a fightbg^ Barnesville team Monday night.

He urged all members to acle. ! Lions clubs stage their local- talent minstrel show at the high school. Lewis Upchurch, county chairman for the drive, and Ro bert Gatlin, Raeford chairman who is assisting Upchurch with the work ,of organizing the coun ty. said this week in announcing the drive that the need in the nation was greater than it had e%'er been, as there were 41.000 cases of infantile paralysis in the United States in 1949, a record total. Many thousand of these cases will still need what has been estimated at S20 million, not considering cases still needing treatment from other years and new cases in 1950. Another item for considera tion, the chairmen said, is the fact that due to the record num ber of cases last year most local chapters are entirely out of funds for local use in the care of ctir- rent and past cases of polio. The only source of funds ^for these items is the annual March of Dimes, they said, and in view of the bad time in North Caro lina in 1948 it is felt that a great sum should be raised in the State, as a tremendous amount of money was brought here from ciU over the nation during our epi demic. The only way the disease will be conquered is for a cure to be discovered and to this end the finest medical and scientific brains are working. This also costs money and the money must come from the March of Dimes.
