I ■ip ¥MCI Of MEIPOM CUAUMAII or uBim Nciws-Journal Tlie Hoke County Newt The Hok6 County Journal • ftfIPOM VOLUME XL VII; NUMBER 25 . THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1952 RAEFORD, N. C. TEN CENTS PER COPY |3J0 PER YEAR c:/fcLUncla~ - - By the Editor I wonder if there is a conscious and deliberate effort on the part of the Schoolhouse planning di vision of the State department of Public Instruction to indefinitely delay the construction of "Ihe building at RaefOrd graded school. If so, I sme wonder why.' Nobody state or federal, is putting up a diine of the money to build that building, the way I understand it. The money is all coming from the pockets of the taxpayers , of Hoke Coimty and I for one am getting pretty tired of somebody up there t/>ning us how to spend our money. Where would we be if we were getting Federal aid to education, or don’t you think this is a sample of what we would get on every move our local people made? . I didn’t mean to get away from my subject. . .We are going to have to get real imified here and go about this thing a little d6ferently if our school board doesn’t ' get some satisfaction on this building proposition. There are some pretty good country politicians around here, ■ and where one method will not do a thing, some times another will.» I wonder if the right of this division to tell us how to spend our money would stand a Supreme Court test? • _ Hoke High Juniors Present Their Play Tomorrow Night Heard a comedian on the radio say that under the Republicans he couldn’t earn his keep and un der the Deinocrats he couldn’t keep what he earned.

I forgot or overlooked it, but I expect most who are interested in hunting ducks found it out anyway. The Hoke High Bucks rang down the* curlain on their 1952 football season last Thursday afternoon with a resotmding 21-0 victory over the Fayetteville “BuUpups. With the victory sewed up be fore the fmst half had ended the Bucks played the majority of the second half with reserves and sec ond stringers. The game not only ended the season for the Bucks but also was the last high school game for at least .eight of the var sity players. The Bqcks wasted little time in getting their, touchdowns, all of which were scored in the first half. Jimmy Bracey, subbing for injur ed Lawrence McNeill, handled the quarterbacking for the Bucks and connected on a thirty yard pass to Dick Baggett for one touchdown. Sidney Lpvette intercepted one Bullpup pass and raced thirty yards for another TD. Fred Gar rett scored the third and final touchdown as he intercepted a pass and sped fifteen yards for a touchdown. C. J. Benner had a perfect day as he booted all thice conversions from placement. ■ The Bucks’ won and . lost record' stands a chance of improving as two of the teams they played this year are reputed to have used in eligible players and therefore may have to forfeit their games. Everything considered, the Bucks had a good season, though the yalso had a few bad breaks. Of the fmir games that were lost Was interested to see in some paper where Dr. C. to. Thomag, who was known and liked by •So many people wjien he was at “the—Smiaf6riiSi^“l^s recently elected to the Executive Council of the Southern Tuberculosis Con ference at its recent meeting in Miami Beach, Florida. He was been mescal director of the Wes tern No^ Carolina Sanatorium at Black Mountain for several years. * M. R. Mills, of the Cdrmty heetdr department, said yesterday that tho work of getting around to the homes in Raeford with the bale for the rat control campaign was a bigger job than had been origi nally estimated, but that the team hoped to have all homes furnished with bait before the end of the \week. The busines section of town was thoroughly baited Monday and in spection shows that the rats are really taking the bait. The resi dential areas of the town had been a little better than half, covered up until yesterday. He estimated A pre-campaign luncheon meet ing of the March of Dimes Re gional Committee was held in the Lions Den here last Thursday at 12:30. The covmties represented were Harnett, Hoke, Lee Moore, Rich mond and Scotland. The guest of honor was a young girl of nineteen. Miss Chaworth Anne Lawrence, who had-been a victim of Polio, and is now great ly improved and is leading a nor mal life. After a delicious lunch was en joyed, the District advisor, H. D. Harrison, Jr., brought the meet ing to order, with introduction of guests, followed by an interesting message by the State Advisor, Jack McGee, on “Polio Problem.” Miss Lawrence gave a heart warming message on the benefits of the polio fund and what the March of Dimes has meant to her personally. The program was taken up by Harry Harrison who began i round table disciission on differ ent phases of polio. Clifton'Blue, publisher of the Sandhill Citizen, who has had outstanding success on past polio drives, gave a few interesting pointers on raising fimds in each section. Following the round table dis cussion, the Rev. A. B.

Winecoff Passes Saturday; Fuii^ai Mondays ^ George Dees, Jr. who lives in the Rockfish community has been selected as State Cotton Crop champion for 1052. George competed with coimty winners from all other counties in the State in which club mem bers carried cotton as their project. In the selection of District and State winners emphasis was placed on: yield per acre, profit above cost of production, accuracy of records, and the following recom mended practices As an award, George will re ceive one of the finest educational trips offered to 4-H Club members —a trip to the 31st National Club Congress in Chicago, November 30-December 4 which is made pos sible through the cooperation bf the Plant Food Institute. At Club Congress, he will have an opportunity to meet with boys and girls from all over the nation. He will also have an opportunity to meet with State and National leaders, and in addition to these he will see and hear some of America’s most outstanding civic, siness and religious leaders. &boi>ge-'is"heing commended on all sides for the good job he has done with his one-acre cotton pro ject this year. He did an excellent job of planting, fertilizing, culti vating, insect control, and harvest ing his crop. In addition to these he kept a good record of CQst at production including man hour.'?, team and tractor hours, seed, fer tilizer, ginning and harvesting. This yield from one acre of cotton was .811 pounds of lint whidh is an outstanding yield for this*yeari Commenting on the trip, John Potter, County Farm Agent, said “It is a great honor to represent your State as a project winner at the National Club Congress. In ac cepting this honor we feel that George will bring back to the club members in our State and County something of the spirit, enthusiasm and inspiration of National Club Congress. With him in spirit will be thousands of 4-H club members who would like to be there in per son. He will be representing them and 4-H Club work at its best.’* George is a son of Mifand Mrs. George Dees of the Rockfish sec- Coimty Superintendent Kenneth MacDonald and Hoke High Prin cipal W. T. Gibson, Jr., were speakers on the program at the monthly meeting of the Hoke- Raeford Parent-Teacher associa tion at the Raeford Graded School Monday night. The association turned over more than $600 reaUz ed on the Halloween carnival to the school authorities in Raeford for use at their discretion. This money is usually used for pub lic school music and band ex penses. MacDonald’s talk was interest ing to the group because he told in. detail from an “inside” view the entire history of the ill-fated, non-existent new building for the Raeford Graded school for which trie county voted money in the spring of 1951. As he said, it was story of what had not happened. As the superintendent told it, the first plan by the local and county boards was for the new building to be on the northeast comer of the graded school block, running south from Donaldson avenue along Stewart street. The State Schoolhouse planning Divi- son of the Department of Public instruction would not approve this and offered as a counter plan, a long, one-room-wide, one-rooni- high building along the "north edge of the property on Dbnaldson ave nue. This the local boards would not agree to. ' The state division then, after several proposals and counter proposals and much palaver, a- greed that a building along the lines the Hoke boards wanted could be constructed on the south east comer of the property ‘if a little additional land could be ob tained there on Stewart street back of the county jail. So the board went to work and got this property. Now things would get going, they thought. ' Then the division in Raleigh Before Recorder said that better materials were available ,or words to that effect, 'and that the plans should be changed somewhat, and that they would forward suggested changes to the architect. It seems that they did this a week or so ago, several weeks after the property was ac quired and they were advised of it. "Whether or not the architect, the local boards, and the State Postmaster Lacy F. Clark suf fered a circulatory attack last Saturday at around noon and was carried to Moore County hospital in a critical condition.

Also on the pro- grmn were songs by C. J. Benner and Harriet Hodgin. “Butterfly Dance”, by a group of ninth grade girls under the direction of Je- nelle Snead, was greatly enjoyed.
