TEN CENTS PER COPY $3.00 PER YEAR c::/fclcUncla Br the Editor Mrs. McLauchlin Will Return To FMC Post Asked several people in the last week or two what they thought I needed to say something about. They all said the telephone serv ice we haven’t been getting lately was more in need of action than comment, but that perhaps a lew words wouldn’t hurt., It certainly is general conve^ation these days and the phones around have been out of order more than in in toe past lew weeks and particu larly in the last ten days. From what I can learn the company has antiquated and obsolete switches or relays in use here which it caimbt or will not replace. When ever the weather is wet they start acting, up. You can get a service man to fix your phone and it may get stuck on a certain number the very next time you use it. This will apparently continue to be the case until the equipment is replaced, as repairs are obvi ously not going to work. I won der if the telephone company re- Mrs. Beatrice HaTT McLauchlin, of Raeford, who served Flora Macdonald College as field re presentative last year and who had announced her plan to re main at her home in Raeford and conduct her piano classes during the coming year, said this week that she had agreed to resume her duties with the college. As John, the only one of her children still at home, is entering Davidson College this .year, Mrs. McLauchlin plans to close her home here and reside at the col lege while she is working there. Mrs. John C. Calhoun of Laur- inburg will teach Mrs. McLauch- lin’s piano classes here during her absence. Mrs. Calhoun holds a music degree from Brenau Col lege and is an accomplished pia nist, according to Mrs. McLauch lin. 0 Hoke County Man Gets Air Force Bars Robert Perry, Jr., received his ] commission as Second Lieutenant alizes how this situation weakens ^ this week at James Connolly Air Recorder Hears Many Cases In Court Tuesday Between 25 and 30 cases came up for trial in Hoke County re corder’s court before Judge Harry Greene Tuesday morning, and 21 of these were disposed of. The others were continued for one reason or another until a later date. Traffic violations predomi nated among the offenses, with no driver’s license and careless and reckless driving being the leaders. Six defendants were charged $25 and the costs each for driving without licenses. They were W. M. Davis, Patricia Cline, Carl E. Perkins and Luther Taylor, white, Grantford Lowery, Indian, and Ange McLauchlin, colored. Per kins also paid $50 and the costs for speeding 85 miles an hour. Taylor was found guilty of having 'improper brakes and judgment was to have been suspended on payment of $10 and the costs, but he appealed and posted a $50 bond.

Associ^on in Atlantic Beach last week. The Tarheet;' Association is a trade organization representing the rural electric cooperatives in North Carolina. Although it has been organized for some years, a formal organisation has just been tile case for private ownershop of public utilities. Maybe it should- n’ti but service is what the pub lic wants, and how they get it will certainly become secondary if a choice is to be made. John McGoogan came , home from a trip to Bogue with the Clyde Upchurch family last week with a real fish story, and no little one, either. He said that he and Clyde watched a bunch of fishermen near Swansboro get a- round a school of mullet with a jiet aboula ouiarter of a mile liOng “it "took "ihb^'^Suf^ sik houra to get the fish landed on a strip of beach some 300 yards long and when th^y were out the man heading the operation told McGoogan there were 53,000 lbs. of mullet there on the beach. Clyde and John tried to buy a truckload from him for cash but he ouldn’t sell, saying he was dickering for the whole lot. Mc Googan thinks many of them spoiled on him there and on the way to various places for sale. He said he walked up and down Force Base, Waco, Texas. Second Lieutenant Perry will be station ed at Tyndall Air Force Base, Panama City, Florida, for six week’s further training. Before entering service in March 1951, Second Lieutenant Perry -was a senior at ^ the Uni versity of North Carolina. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Perry of McCain. YOUR SCHOOL NEWS By K. A.

He introduced several field men who would be working with the pro gram in North Carolina, and ex plained that REA now feels that the experience gained by local co-op leaders warrants a reduc tion in some of the services pre- .viously offered by the national REA, and that most all the Co operatives in North Carolina were in position to assume these new Schools Open With Record Number Of Students Expected The white schools in the county opened' their doors this morning at 9:C0 and bfficially began the school year of 1952-53.

Not recognizing it he looked it up in the encyclopedia, and found that it matched the picture of a copperhead perfect ly. It’s one of the four fatally poisonous snakes to be found in this section and he was somewhat alarmed at finding it in his yard here in town where children are playing abouts all the time. The four bad snakes to be seen, in cidentally, are the rattler, the coral, the copperhead (sometimes called the “highland moccasin”) and the cottonmouth or water moccasin. Hope that was toe only specimen in town that Robert killed, but maybe we’d better be careful in our yards and gardens. will be called here from Raleigh as soon as possible. I stayed in Charlotte last week for two or three days talking shop with a bimch of printers ... did n’t hear a thing to compare with the story John McGoogan brought bqck from Bogue. I did talk with a printer who works in a shop that employs 1,500 people, though. I can’t imagine this any more than I can imagine 53,000 pounds of mullet piled up on a beach. I do believe both, though, in case you get the notion that I’m doubting John’s story. Tuesday night a county-wide teachers q^eeting was held at Hoke High. Chaplain C. P. Wo mack of the State Sanatorium held the devotional exercise. He made a most timely talk to the teachers. K. A. MacDonald conducted the business session and W. T.

The sher iff said the reasons for the shoot ing were hard to figure, although he understood there had bear j some minor disagreement between the brothers lately about a to bacco bam. He said David told him he just thought he would take a pot shot at him for the fun of it. "What "he took was all six shots from a .32 calibre pistol, four or five which hit him. Harold Chason is a patient in a Fayetteville hospitaj and is ex pected to be released in several more days. After the shooting, the shCTiff said, David took his brother’s car and left.- When he was found cruising around in it by the pa trolmen die next afternoon he had the pistol and two rifles in the car with 'nim and all were loaded, but. he offered no resistance.
