C. TEN CENTS PER COPY S2.00 PER YEAS LONG awaited PA.VING r>En\-G DONE THIS WEEK YOUR SCHOOL NEWS! By K. A. MacDonald J i The Hoke-Raeford PTA mem- Toership drive for this school year is on. Mrs. Younger Snead is chairman of the committee in charge of the drive. The goal of the committee is a 100% sign-up. They figure that there are 300 families represented and woul like to have a membership from each- family. This looks entirely possi ble as the membership fee is only 25 cents. We hope that every family will cooperate and the 100% membership' will become a reality. Rockfish had one of the best Halloween carnivals last week that they have ever put on. Every one wibo attended had a good time and the school netted $150.00, enough to pay for their new caf eteria tables. We think that • this was a most excellent showing. The local Kiwanis club is hon oring the county teachers with their usual teacher’s night ban quet tonight. Acceptances have been received from practically all teachers in the county. Kiwanian R. L. Murrajr is in charge of the program which has been espec ially designed to be of int^est to the teachers. Miss Little’S room at the Rae- ford Graded school has organiz ed a reading club. Word wizard buttons will be awarded each member comlileting the required worlc in reqdin^and ajCertificate of merit will be given at the end of the year to the member who attains the highest citizenship quotient. The club is divided into two teams with Virginia McNeill captain of one and Suzanne Cam eron the other. Friends of Miss Catherine Shep herd, teacher of special education, will regret to learn of the serious illness of her mother at her home in Mt. Vernon, Alabama. We hope that she will soon have news of her mother’s improvement.

The Bucks met the strong, visiting team on even terms and lost only by the margin of a point-after touchdown to a team that had been rated two to three touch downs better than they were. Coach Haywood Faircloth ex pressed himself as being highly pleased with their performance. Early in the second quarter Massey Hill scored the first touch down of the game on ■ a twenty- yard pass and the kick for extra point was good. A few minutes later in the same quarter Robert McGirt^ intercepted a Massey Hill pass for Hoke High and raced 70 yards for the score. The Bucks missed their extra point by about four inches when Fred Holland hit the line. Massey Hill was expecting an easy game in view of the fact that they' were so highly favored. Car ter Edge, their pass-receiving ace, was held to one completion for 2 yards. The Bucks play Edwin there tomorrow afternoon at three- thirty. 0 INSTRUCTOR LEAVES URGES HEAVY VOTE IN RAl ELECTION TUESDAY Constitutional Amendments, Congressman, Judges, U. S.

Explains Constitutional Amendments To Be Voted On In General Election By ARTHUR D. GORE 1. “For permitting any person, when represented by rounsel, to waive indictment in all except capital cases.” As our law is, no person can be required to answer any criminal charge except by indictment, pre sentment, or impeachment. You now will get a chance to amend this so that if you are represent ed by counsel you may waive indictment except in capital cases, under regulations prescribed by the Legislature. 2. “For amendment securing and safeguarding the funds of the Teachers’ and State Employees’ Retirement System.” (At present there is no constitutional prohibi tion against appropriation by the General Assembly of the funds of the Retirement System for the purpose other than payment of retirement benefits.) If you think that money taken out of your pay-check later to be paid either to you or your estate should be salted down and not tinkered with, then as a teacher or an employee of the State this is your opportunity to vote yes. If retirement funds are deducted from your salary, you and your friends now have a chance to salt down the tax taken away from you, so that latep when maybe you need it more, it will be where you can get it. 3. “For amendment allowing limited necessary cbmpensatidn of members of the General Assem bly.” If you feel that a State Senator and County Representative should be paid $15.00 a day for a maxi mum of 90 days, to go to Raleigh and neglect his business back home while patching up the sta tutes of the State, you will get a chance to vote affirmatively on that. But if you think he should do it for nothing, maybe that is what his services would be worth if he went, so better think hard about how you want to trade on this. 4. “For permitting the General Assembly to prescribe the num ber of regular Superior Court judges in each judicial district, provided each district has at least one.” If you want at least two terms of “big court” in each County eacn year, now is your chance. And if you think the Legislature ought to re-divide the State into Super ior Court Districts to fit the pres ent population trends and the congestion at some areas be re- (Continued on page 4) Major Lee M.

(Photo by Harold Gillis) November 23 Is Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day comes on Thursday, November 23, which is the fourth Thursday in Novem ber. The 4th Thursday in No- vemljer is a national holiday and a day of thanksgiving as declared by the act of Corigress and signed by the President of the United States December 26, 1941. Many people have been under the im pression that the last Thursday in November is Thanksgiving Day, which is not this case this yeaT. There are five Thursdays in the month of November in 1950 and the fourth Thursday which is Thanksgiving Dav comes on No vember 23. voting in next Tuesday. Mr. Deane and the group were, luncheon guests of Walter P. Baker, county executive committee , chairman, and the appearance was part of .Mr. Deane's tour of several weeks stumping the dis trict. In this tour he has covered every county in the district from Wilkes and Yadkin up in the mountains near Virginia to Scot land and Hoke down in the south east. He wil> conclude the tour with an appearance in Mocksville on Monday night. Mr. Deane brought to the at tention of the group the fact that votes in so-called “off years” are often rather close in the eighth district, as the mountain coun ties have a large percentage of Republican voters. In 1946, the last off-year, there were 30,000 Democratic votes cast in the dis trict to over 25,000 by the Repub licans. He urged all Democrats to get out and exercise their voting privilege next Tuesday. He par ticularly urged the women of the- county and district to go to the polls and vote. T’ne vote in this county in 1946 was almost 850. ■ Voters in North Carolina will elect two United States Senators, all Congressmen, Supreme court justices, an Insurance commas sioner, Superior court judges and solicitors. In this county they will also vote on State senators, and this is the only place Republicans appear on' the county ticket. J.. Hawley Poole and J. R. Young, Democrats, are opposed by John S. Lewis and H. S. Regan, Sr., Republicans. In ihe county also the representative to ihe general assembly, the judge of recorder’s court, the prosecut ing attorney, the clerk of Superior court, the sheriff, the county com missioners, the coroner and the cotton weigher will be elected. There is no Republican name on the ballot for any of these offices. Constitutional Amendment Also to be voted on Tuesday and about which the voters know the least, are five amendments to the constitution of North Carolina. The first of these permits a person represented by counsel to waive indictment except in capi tal cases. This is simply a move to simlify the court precedures now in effect and it is expected to pass. The second proposed amend ment would prohibit the use of funds paid in for retirement by teachers and state employees for any other purpose than their re tirement. The third amendment will a- gain try to raise the pay of mcm- h>ers of the General Assembly. A similar amendment was disap proved in 1946, but there has been much, talk over the state in the years since about the fact that serving in the legislature is a los ing proposition now, and that more pay would make more people available to serve in that body. The fourth amendment is de signed to allow the General as sembly to vary the number Sup erior- court judges in the judicial districts as long as each district has one. A favorable vote on this amendment would result in more judges in the heavier populated districts where it is necessary for more and longer terms of court to be held. (Continued on Page 8)
