MacDonald, treasurer of the Hoke county chapter of the Infantile P.'ralysis Foundation, this week released a financial statement of the funds received, disbursed and owed by the chap ter in order to acquaiijit the public with the great need for funds for this cause in the annual March of Dimes drive which will start all over the country on Monday January 15. This statem.ent or report follows. “In each March of Dimes cam paign the funds are divided half and half between the National foundation and the local chapter. The National foundation spends its part on research work and help to epidemic areas. Fig'^.res below will show where some of this money from all over the coun try has been sent to this county by the National Foundation where local funds were insufficient. ' '\ “During 1950 eight cakes of polio originated in Hoke county. Seven of these' were Hoke CountV chil dren and the eighth was ^ visi tor who contracted the t disease here and who was taken care of by her home county. “The seven cases included five white and two colored. There were also three children, victims of polio in former years, who re ceived treatment and care during the year. “For- the hospitalization, medi cal care, transportation and or thopedic care of these ten chil- ren the local chapter received $4,- 039.75 from the following sources; Balance from 1949, $28.20; March of Dimes' in 1950, $2,019.69; Mis cellaneous receipts. $136.86; and advance from National Founda tion, $1,855.001 “This money was spent by the local chapter as follows; Hospi talization for seven cases, $3.- 092.85; Ambulance service in five cases, S145.00; Medical care in seven cases, $166.00: Orthopedic care anc}' applianoes in 10 cases including braces, rep-airs to brace?.. shoe and shoe^ repairs, S282.80; Miscellaneous ' expense. ' $163.48. The bank balance of the local chapter on December 31. 1-950 ,was $189.62 and bJls. |due on thq; date were $369.53. $2,034.96 In Red “The :’.''ovo statement will show you that our loccil ' funds lacked $2,034.96 of paying our bills up to December * 31, 1950. We are starting on a new year in debt and with 10 cases that' still re quire treatment and appliances and with the possibility that 'ad ditional cases may develop during the year 1951. It as hoped that everyone will give as generously as possi'ole.” C— Building & Loan Annual Meeting The Raeford Building and association held the annual meet ing of its stockholders in the as- socicniori'^ office here TiKsday, Ja.'-.u'-r;,.- 9 \yith a good ;{t:c-’la”-ce. Report was made by Mrs.- W. L.' Poole*^ secretary am.'i treasurer of the association, and th^ sarr.e officers and directors were re elected. These are F. B. Sexton, president and director. H. L.

The town board of commission ers voted last w:eek to expand and improve the town water and se- '.vage facilities and str,eets to the e:tent of .$2Q0,0!'0 if the voters of the towm are willing, and pe- itidned tho L.ocal Government commission for permission to hold an election on tvherher or not to issue bonds in this amount for the work. The board wants to spend $60,000 for sewer improvements, $60,000 for street improvements and .$80,000 for increased water facilities. The approval of the Local Gov ernment commission must be ob tained before any municipality in the state can issue bonds for any purpose. The commission exists for the purpose of improving local government in the state and to keep local governments on a sound financial footing. When and if this approval is received the Town of Raeford expects to hold a bond election on the question of wheth er to issue the' bonds and do the • work or not, the same as a simi lar election was held last year on the question of whether or not the town should spend $125,000 for these purposes or not. This elec tion favored the issuing of the bonds. P In setting up the amounts to be spent if the bond issue is author ized the board contemplates spending the $60,000 earmarked for sewer improvements to ex tend the towri sewer system to any point in town it is rieeded. The $60,000 for streets is to be used to provide curb and gutter for all prinicpal. streets in • the town and to pave most of the streets now populated. In setting this up the board' intends to equalize the amount spent on the east side of Main street with the west side, where a large part of the last issue went. The $80,000 for water is to .provide water and fire hydrant facilities all over town and additional pumping and filtering facilities to take care of a contemplated increase- in popu lation and of demands for water by the new Robbins mill when it' starts operating. The present board sees no nec essity for the increase in taxes to pav for these H(ig,w?^a>?ments, con sidering that the increase in vail- uaticn through new construction, the saving in street maintenance ihrough paving, aiai the direct m- ,'cm.e from -.vater will add suffi- k icntl'-'- to tr to'A'n s revenue. —ij Funeral Friday At Aslilev Heights For Elijah King, 67 Funeral services for Elijah King. 67, of Asliley Heights, who died Wednesday morning of last week at.
