Girls Do Well In Cumberland Tourney; Boys Lose To Hope Mills The Hope Mills girls won the Cumberland coimty basketball championship at Massey Hill Tues day night, defeating the Hoke girls in a close affair, 41 to 39. According to the Fayetteville Observer the Hope Mills girls were able to win by reason of their ability to hold down Lyda Wil liams. Slie was held scoreless in the first half and tallied only 11 points in the whole game. The winners managed to do this by double teaming (two girls on one) Williams. Th/ paper said “Temper rose to the boiling point late in the fourth quarter when Williams col lected her fourth personal foul. The official scorer, signified that she should leave the game by the foul route. “Raeford put up a loud protest that Williams had three personal fouls and one technical foul, which would have allowed her to remain in the game. After a discussion between the two officials and the coaches, Williams departed for the bench. “A field goal attempt with one second remaining in the game rolled around the rim and out. This tvas the bucket Raeford needed to tie up the spine-tingl ing fray.” IB lONAL WIEK County Board Faces School Space Shortage Commissioners To Meet With Education Board .

LIBRARY NEWS PHte Calling On Set At Base Of 45.76 Lb. Hoke County Library gratefully acknowledges a gift of 96 books from Mrs. D. E. Miller, of Rock- fish. During the month of February, which is the shortest month of the year, 1214 books were circu lated in Hoke County Library, 2579 books were checked out on the bookmobile to white people, and 1549 were checked to colored people, making a’total of 5342 books circulated. A book, “High Time To Tell It,” has been written by Mary Alves Long, who lived in North Carolina as a child. She attended Peace Institute in Raleigh, and later moved to the midwest. The delightful humor that enlivens these recollections of eighty years shows that Miss Long’s sense of humor is three-dimensional. Other -new titles received are: Country Wife, Van Doren; Night Without Stars, Graham; Under standing Politics, Young; Gay Parties for all Occasions, Harbin; Fifth Chinese Daughter, ' Jade Snow Wong; The Burns Mantle Best Book of Plays 1949-1950^ And To My Beloved Husband, Loraine. The government Saturday set uniform price sellings on raw cot ton, not only as sold by cotton merchants, but also by the farmer. The Office of Price Stabilization fixed a basic ceiling price of 45.76 cents a pound. This applies to what is known in the trade as “white,and extra white middling 15-16th of an inch in Area One,” comprising' a group of counties in North and South Carolina. Other ceilings are computed from this basic price with varia- tions for grade, length of fibre and location. The ceilings are based on the highest market prices prevailing in the period December 19 through January 25.. Ever since the gen eral price freeze was ordered Jan uary 25, each seller had a ceiling based upon his own highest sales during that period, and since there are about 400 different grades of cotton, the problems were so baf fling that the cotton exchanges in such cities as New York, Mem phis, and New Orleans have been closed ever since. &— Town Primary b Scheduled For April 2nd Notice was given this week by the Town that a primary for the nomination of a Mayor and five commissioners for. the Town of Raeford will be held in the town hall on Monday, April 2, 1951.

VOTERS APPROVE BOND ISSUES BY ALMOST 20 TO ONE TUESDAY At their regular monthly meet ing Monday the Hoke County com missioners were handed a problem by the county board of education This was the critical problem of space for the increasing number of children at the Raeford Graded school. The boards 42scussed the matter and John McGoogan and Knox Watson went to Raleigh Tuesday and conferred with the Local Government commission a bout what can be done. There will be another meeting of the two boards at the court house tomorrow night at which the matter will be further discuss ed and at which McGoogan and Watson will report on the recom mendations they got from Raleigh It appears that the people of the county may now get a chance to vote on a bond issue, as the money for another building will have to be raised, as they haven’t got it (The Board of Education, that is). The commissioners voted to ask that the July term of Superior court be cancelled again this year. Ben Ray was appointed dog vaccinator for the whole county and a schedule of his appearance in various parts of the county is to be published. He will be car ried around by Rural Policeman J. C. Wright. The board also or dered 1000 doses of idbg vacciue. Dogs which are listed for taxes will be vaccinated free. The law firm of Pollock and Hostetler (Pollock of Southern Pines) appeared before the board with the proposition that the board pass a resolution asking the Fort Bragg authorities to pave the road from the first ranger station on the Raeford-Vass road west to a point near Montrow and then north through the reservation from there. They asked the board to do this in view of the fact that the Army is apparently not going to pave the Raeford-Vass road and that this road would enable Little River people to save about 12 miles in going around. Of course, Mr. Pollock’s interest in the matter is getting a better road from South ern Pines to Fort Bragg. As the matter was left, the lawyers were to draw up the resolution and' pre sent it to the board for action ^it later meeting; The requested paving if done would enable Army personnel to get to Southern Pines golf courses, etc., and would save the Little River people about 12 miles in coming the long way to Raeford, but it would probably close the possibility of getting the Raeford-Vas5 road through the re servation haird surfaced. Woman Shoots Husband To Death Tuesday A coroner’s jury ruled yester day afternoon that Hughes Jones, 32-year-oid Indian, died Tuesday at the hand of his wife, Ruthie Jones, 33, and that the killing was premeditated and deliberate and recommended that Ruthie Jones be held for action of the Grand Jury at the next term of Superior court without privilege of bail. She is in the Hoke county jail. ' According to Coroner J. C. Lentz the shooting occurred at the Jones home in Allendale township at about three-thirty Tuesday after noon. He said that Jones was shot in the shoulder with a 12-guage shotgun from about 15 feet awav and that death was probably in stantaneous. , He said that Ruthie Jones said that her husband had been run ning around with other women and that he had cursed her. 0 Mr. and Mrs. Roy Stephens and family of Washington, D.

Reports are coming in that some are already active in the county this year. Most of these insects breed in large nunibers’'in abandoiied plant beds and on stalks left in the to bacco fields after harvest. Since this is true, as soon as the plant beds are no longer needed the' plants should be destroyed. Also after completion of harvest all tobacco stalks should be cut. These insects can be effectively controlled by the use of insecti cides. The following is a list of tobacco insects with recommended treat ments. Cutworm: Use 5 ft DDT dust - 1 lb. per 100 sq. yards, or - DDT Spray (1 lb. 50rr wettable pawder in 50 gallons water) 3-5 gals, per tYon”nd The'’m’come'frqm the Mrs. Johnnie Hinnant has been sick for the past several days. Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Hubbard of Lake City, S. C. spent Sunday here with Mrs. Hubbard’s sisters. Mrs. Judson Lennon and new son returned home Monday from Highsmith hospita.l. Mrs. Roger Dixon entered Moore County hospital Tuesday and vm- derwent ajt operation bn Wednes day. Mr. and Mrs. George Bethune and children returned to their home in Concord Sunday after spending several days here in the home of Mrs. J. A. Blue. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hunsucker of Hickory were week end guests of Mrs. A. J. Fuller and Mrs. Dwight Brown. 100 sq. yd. or - Bait (50 lbs. Wheat Bran 1 lb. Paris Green, water to moisten) 4 lbs. per 100,sq. yd. Vegptable Weevil: Use DDT dust or spray as for Cutworms. Grub, Worms; 1% Parathion . dust - 1 lb. per 100 yds; Handle with caution. Observe carefully precautions printed on container. IVaVo Lindane Dust - 1-2 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. Midge Larva: 5% DDT dust - 1 lb. per 100 sq. yds. DDT spray (1 lb. 50% wettable powder to 50 gals water 3 to 5 gals, per 100 sq. yds. Naphthalene (Moth flakes) l%-2 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. Flea Beetle: DDT dust or spray as for cutworms. Aphids: 1 Va % Lindane dust .- 1-2 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. 10% DDT dust - 1-2 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. 1 % Parathion dust (handle with caution) 1-2 lbs. per 100 sq. yds. TBPP is also effective against lice. Mole Crickets: Bait (5 lbs. corn- meal, 5 lbs. wheat Bran, 3-4 lbs. Paris green, molasses and water to moisten) - 3 to 4 lbs. 100 sq. yds. (use in late afternoon.) Naphtha lene (moth flakes) - 1 lb pef 100 sq. yds. Parathion and TEPP materials are highly poisonous and danger ous to handle. Anyone using these materials should read and observe carefully the precautions printed on.each container. Residue .from Parathion remains for one week, therefore it is wise not' to handle the plants for that long after treatment. Residue from TEPP remains for only 24 hours. A good plan being followed, by some growers this year is to use 5% DDT four times as a preven- (Contmued on back pact) Nearly 300 Turn Ont In Voting To Obligate $180,000 For Improvemarts In a startling reversal of the usual lack of interest in Raeford civic matters by the voters, almost 300 of them went to the polls Tuesday and 223 were able to vote on the issue of town Exmds amounting to $180,000 for street, water and sewCT improvements for the town; About 60 more citi zens of the town turned up at the polls to vote but were unable to vote when it appeared that they were not registered on the town’s books. Some of these were under the impression that their regis-. tratiott to vote in county and sftate elections was sufficient, but the town has separate registration books, due to the fact that many people live in the Raeford pre cincts who do not live in the town of Raeford.. The fact that such a numlier went to the polls is interesting in view of the fact that only 123 were interested enough to vote in the last bond election, for $125,000, held in Decemljer, 1949. The actual count on the three issues was (1) On issuing $80,000 bonds for funds for enlarging and extending the waterworks of the town, 210 for and 13 against; (2) Pn issuing $50,000 Ixuids for the purpose of extending the sanitary sewer system, including the in stallation of an outfall line and additional sewer lines, 210 for and 12 against; (3) On issuing $30,000 bonds for constructing or recon structing the streets including the construction of sidewalks, curbs, gutters and drains, 190 for and 27 against. The voting authorized the town board to proceed with the im provements and to issue the Ixmds to pay for them as needed. The board is also authorized by the vote to levy taxes on property in the town for the purpose of paying off the bonds. The, mayor' and town officials have said, however, that they do not expect an.y tax increase to be necessary as a re sult of the bond issues due to ex pected increased property valua- ex- tended water service. 0 Hoke High Boys Play Central High In Gym Tonight The Sixth Annual Aip.erican Legion Basketball tournament for high school boys and girls was scheduled to get started last night •with games to be played between the Hoke High and Tam Heel girls and between the Laurel Hill amd LaFayette boys.
