We are going to have to pay and pay and pay, and tighten our belts.” The job ahead is twofold, ^he said—“to keep our nation mili tarily an deconomically sound, and to avoid an all-out war by all possible means — diplomatically, politically or economically.” The cost of global war would be as suicidaUy great for the winner as for the loser—more than any na tion can stand. Hubert McCaskill. of Pinehurst, district chairman, presided ever the meeting, held in the club’s ballroom following an outdC'.'r buffet supper. W. Lament Brown, of Pinebluff, gave a greeting from the Moore County club. Rep. H.

HOKE HIGH OPENS FOOTBALL SEASON HERE FRIDAY NIGHT 58 Miles Paved In County Under Bond Program The State Highway Commission has paved 58 miles of secondary road in Hoke county since the start of the $200-million bond con struction program last summer. Excluding stabilization work, this represents about 60 per cent of the total program planned for Hoke, according to George S. Co'"!e. Sixth Division highway COT.'v.issioner. Numerous projects are under way in Hoke and other Sixth'^Division counties with most of their, scheduled to be_-finished before the end of the 1950 paving season. Newly paved secondary roads opened in Hoke during the last 14 months are as follows: From end of pavement south of Antioch to Scotland County line,- 6.1 miles; From Mildouson School to Arabia and School cut-off, 2.1; NC 20 via Arabia to Robeson County, 7 and 1.2; Arabia to Rockfish, 4.8; Old Maxton Road from NC 211 to Wire Road, 5.3; From US 15-A one mile of Scot land County toward Turnpike Road, 3.2; Wire Road from Mil douson School toward Davis Bridge, 3.2; Turnpike Road, 1.9; Wire Road from Antioch to US 15-A and extension on Old Max- ton • Road, 9.1; Rockfish-Arabia Road toward Philippi Church, 0.8; Wire Road from Sandy Grove to Davis’ Bridge and Cumber Ian .1 County, 4.9; Road connecting Lum ber Bridge Road to Parkton Roa l. ; 2.4; Arabia Road to Sandy Grove. I 1.2. ■ I Hoke’s share of the 3125-milln!i | in bond funds on July 1, 1950 was j $713,250. With the exception of j $130,100, this am.ount had boenj allocated to specific work in the county. The Secondary Road Eord Act as ’ passed by the General Assembly divided the bond money equitably among the 100 counties. The cost of road construction under the secondary program is less than expected by the State Highway Commission and conse quently more mileage of .’■oads may be paved under the program than was expected in many areas. As of July 1, 1950 about one-fifrn of the proposed Scott paving pro gram had been finished through out the state. In addition to secondary road work, the Highway Commission constructed nine new bridges. Dr. Henry W’. Jordan, chairman of the State Highway Commission, recently announced that 1950 would be North Carolina’s great est year of roadbuilding if good weather continue^ and the war crisis does not entervene. S'me 2,375.8 miles of secondary roads have been paved so far under the $200-million program. At the same time work is progressing on the primary highway system uti lizing -funds set up in the regular highway fund budget. 0 Plan Reception At Flora Macdonald For New Teachers Locals Will Field Strong Team Against Hope Mills; Kickoff At Eight P, M. Coach Haywood Faircicth’s Hoke county high school “Bucks” take the field in their first. game of the season when they face the Hope Mills High team at .Armory park here tom.orrow night. Kick off is to be at eight o’clock. Last year the two tea.ms playel to a scoreless tie, and local enthus'iasts are hopeful of doing be*'ter th;s time. Coach Faircloth thinks his squad this year has the best possibiii-' ties in se-.eral years, as he has a squad of 30 i.acluding 10 letter- men from las: year’s team. One letterman. Fred Holland, will be out of action for several v.-eeks ■because of injuries suffere i in a motorcycle accident rece.atly. He is currently being replaced at tailback .by Joe Culbreth, -a trans fer from Red Springs. The local squad has bee.n hard at work for the past four weeks and are in top physical condition for thevgame. They looked excep tionally good in a scrimmage a- gainst Laurel HiU squad Monday afternoon and were able to score almost at will with the second string doing much scoring. Pass ing was particularly effective in this contest with Lester, Mc- Lauchlin and Phillips doing the throwing. Lester and Culbreth also handled the kicking well. Coach Faircloth is being ably assisted this season by Coach Bob Rockholtz. who up to new has been specializing on the backs. The tea.'T. will' appear in new uniforms Friday ..nigh: with red helmets and pants and white jer seys. Lineup will, be about -the same to star: with as las: year with the exception of the ends who ■ are expected to be Robert NLG.'r:. and Bobby Lundy. • John NIcLauchiin will probably start at fullbaot: and Joe Culbreth at tailback.

The State Department of Agri culture, Market Division, is con ducting a Beef Cattle procure ment program this fall similar to the one conducted last year. They will purchase large numbers of cattle and move them into Eastern N. C. counties. Any farmers in Hoke County who are interested in ordering any number of these cattle sould stop by or write the County Agents office as to the number of head, ’oreed, sex and age of cattle desired, along with the maximum price to be paid. All the orders from the county will be sent to the State Department of Agriculture. They in turn, will pool the orders from all counties, purchase the cattle wherever they can find them and ship them back by the car-load. The interest in and demand for beef cattle is increasing all over N. C., which means cattle are more scarce and higher priced. Therefore, the sooner these orders are placed the better chance of filling them. The following is an estimate of the approximate cost of female cattle arid, steers. The State Da- partment has said that they would endeavor to purchase good pure bred bulls but would not be in position to purchase purebred (Continued on S)
