Miss Marie Pfimder and Miss Crunkett of the State Board of Health and the School Lunch Pro gram met with the Health Com mittee of the white school. A nu trition proram for the year was outlined. The Ashemont PTA had a fish fry at the Montrose Commuinty House last I^'iday night. The money made^will be used for im provement of the lunchroom. The only bad thing about the affair was an insufficency of fish to feed the crowd. The interest shown was remarkable. Commissioners Hold Monthly Meeting The Goimty commissioners held their monthly •'meeting Monday ^emoon and several items were brought to their attention. The jury list for the Noveinbpr term of Superior Court was drawn at this time. The term of couct is to be held the week of,November 10. The commissioners requested that the sheriff and . the health sanitation officer investigate the reports tha't fish are being peddled from trucks in the county. Another item that was brought up was approval of a petition to. build a road from Philippi church to the Raeford-Antioch road. Ihis road has l^n approved several times ih the past but has been turned down by the highway com mission in the past because of the expensd of building a bridge and crossing over Rockfish Creek. The superintendent of the coun ty schools was asked to investi gate the possibility of building an educational building to house Ae ‘superintendent’s house. The funds j for this’ building, if possible, would come from money left over after completion of the present planned school. The instructor of the national guard requested that he be al- loRred to move his office from the county ^ building to the armory and this was approved. —0 ^ The local school board has ap proved two 'changes’ at the Rae ford Graded School. The first and second grades are now dismissed at 2:00 p. m. Any parents in the county wishing to come for their children in the first or second grades may get them at this time. Otherwise they are under the sup ervision of the teachers imtil the buses run. The other change is in the sys- ^gm of grading for these two grades. Pupils are now graded as “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory” instead of A, B, C as in the past. Parents whose children receive “U” will receice a note from the child’s teacher explaining where . and how the child is falling down. Also a letter is going out to all Recorder Hears Routine Cases In Court Tuesday DB. JULIAN LAKE REV. CHABLEsIp. BURCHETT Unitm Revival Starts Sundbty Night At 7:30 At Raeford Methodist Church FARM ITEMS Cojmty Agent Improve Small Grain Yields parents explaining the why and wherefore of the change. Small grain is an important crop oh many of the farms in Hoke County. With time for seed ing at hand, there are several factors to keep in m'ind in trying to make the best yields possible. Preparing a good and firm seed bed is always impoi|;ant. All seed beds for small grain should be firm with 2 or 3 inches of clod free soil on surface. Selecting varieties that are best adapted to your farm should be given consideration. In receirf years, new improved varieties have, been released to farmers, Few of these varieties are the best for all areas but all of them have been given decidedly profitably increases in yield in areas to which they are best adapted. For wheat in this area, Coker 47“27T-Atlas-50i-and-Atla&-66-are recommended. For oats Victor- The Buffalo School is having a Eire Prevention Program tomor row at IPOO a. m. A representative of the Raeford Fire Department will make a talk on Fire Preven tion at this time. The Up'chiurch PTA held its first meeting of the year last week.

'Charles Burphett will be the song leader. The revival is being sponsored jointly by the Raeford Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches and the People’s B^iethodist church; These churches have joined to gether to hold the revival and have sponsored home prayer serv- ives in the community for the last two weeks. The' holiie services were held on each Wednesday night in the different parts of the community and a good attendance was reported on each of the two nights. Dr. Julian Lake, pastor of the First ^ Presbyterian Church of Winston-Salem, is the preacher for the revival. Officials of the revival feel that they are very fortunate to have secured the serv- ives of Dr. Lake for the meetings and are confident that he will be well received by those attend ing. The Rev. Charles Burchett, pas tor of the First Baptist Church of Kemesville will be the song lead er for the wedc-long services. Rev. Biurchett is rather well known for his song leadership. With the services of Dr. Lake and Rev, Burchett the revival is al most ass;Ured to be a success.

Following corn, small grain, and hay use about 300 pounds of 5-10-10.

Such praise didn’t “just hap pen.” Behind it is the hard work of a civic-minded leader, Mrs. Ethel C. Adams, plus the “almost 100 per cent cooperation” of the whole town, as she puts it. New shrubs show up every week in the lawns of already well- dressed houses. "Vacant lots are mowed and raked. Unsightly va- •cant structures are disappearing one by one. Little money is involved, for Mrs. Adams’ committee had little to work with. Instead, they relied on simple neighborliness. One member volimteered to give shrubs and bulbs which she could spare from her yard. Another offered in exchange plants and first giver did not have. In short order, gardeners all over Cary were exchanging nur sery stock with a minimum of cash outlay and with a niaximum re turn in good landscaping. "When yards took on a new look, owners decided new paint would help. "When one block took on toe new look, the next block tried to outdo the first.

The Bucks led by Coaches Earl Huggins and Bob Rockfaolz were idle last week end following their loss to Elizabethtown the week before and spent toe tone in hard practices. In additom to making personnel changes in both the line and backfield the team has been hard at work on defenses slated to stop; the high powered offense of the Pirates. Wilcox, who has been plajriog at right tackle, has been shiftol to the badcfield to give toem some added weight and also to take the place of Lovette who has been switched to ri^t end. The switch ing of Lovette was due to the fact that Baggett, a regular aid and erne of the offensive stars of the Elizabethtown game, has suffer ed a couple of rib fractures and is ont expected to paly this week. Massey Hill is definitely the favorite in tomorrow nights game as they defeated their opponent last week 61-0 but Hoke High will be one of their toughest oppon ents this season and the local coaches are talking of an upset in the making. • 0 — Town Commissioners Name Committee and reckless driving.
