I took some at my house a couple of weeks ago, Sam Morris took some at his, and others were taken here at the office by Mrs. F.llis. We wound up having a hard time figuring j out Just who had called first. We decide ! then that calls could be crt'eoted nowhere but at the of fice in the future, which we think is fair to everyone. So call us at 2121 .. . Sorta hated ,o, give up old 352, which wo had I had for some 20 years. Congressman C. B. Deane of Rockinaham was in Raeford a large part of Wednesday, after attending and speaking at the Eighth District rally in Sanford on Tuesday. He is making a tour of the district in an effort to get the people to go to the polls and vote in the general election on November 2. He pointed out, in talking with Walter Baker, chairman of the county's Demo cratic executive committee, and Sam Morris, president of the Young Democratic Club, that the number of votes in a county of ten has much to do with the con sideration a county gets for var ious things. The votes a county liets in the state and di:'i-'.? in ventions of both the young and old Democrats is determined by the votes cast here. Sometimes that fneans something to us, and we can't tell when the next such time is going to be. Of course, we ought not let somebody else run the country for us, anyway. We're doing our part in its run ning when we vote, even if the way we vote is not the winning way, although most of the time it is. t.et's start talking about this election a little, and get a sizable vote out. Interesliiu; sidelight on the election, and one that amounts to; a little printing job for us, is the fact that separate ballots lor Raeford Township will have to be prin'ed, with one man running for one office showing on the bal lot. j. i.. Autry is tne man, ana he was nominated for the office of Raeford Township constable in the primary last spring. I have been told that there is a brothel, catering to through truck drivers, being operated on Highway 15-A in Hoke County. This won't do, and will bear in vestigating by the sheriff's of fice, and perhaps the county grand jury. Persons knowing ac tual facts about this owe it to themselves and their community to be willing to talk to these a gencies. Hearsays won't do. The local National Guard unit has done it again. Third Army Ordnance . inspectors from Fort McPherson, Ga., here this week for the annual inspection of all weapons and equipment of Bat tery A, again rated all items "Superior". This is the highest at tainable rating, and last year the local unit shared the award for being best in North Carolina with units in Red Springs, St. Pauls, Sanford and Southern Pines, the first time more than one unit had ever had the award. These units are again also sup erior, according to the inspector. All five make up the 130th AAA Battalion, commanded by T.t Col. William Lamont, Jr. The batta lion is to be converted to a tank battalion when North Carolina gets the 30th Infantry Division on October 28. Mr. and Mn. Frank Davis of Bladen County visited Mr. Christian Davis Monday. CAN YOU IDENTIFY TH S V A i J"o"7 2 1.

Ralph Monger, Lee County chair man, presided. Deane greeted the crowd as '"fine, seasoned warriors, no rocking-chair Democrats," the kind which had helped produce swelling party majorities in the district over the past decade the largest having been 22,000 in 1952 "when all the glamor boys were on the ticket." He sounded a challenge to boost the 1954 majority from the 13,000 of 1950, the last "off-year," to at least 18,000 on November 2. Other speakers presented by Larkin gave brief eloquent talks, frequently broken by applause, which rang the changes on the themes of Republican confusion, Democratic leadership and the virtues of voting "straight down the line." Most paid high tribute to Deane, their host, characteriz ing him as a "hardworking cons cientious representative," respon sive to his district's needs and "a fine Christian gentleman." o PLAN HOMECOMING AT TABERNACLE CIILRC1I Tabernacle Baptist Church at Rockfish will have its homecom ing day on Sunday, October 17.

McNeill, campaign chair man for the first United Fund drive ever held in this county, announced the campaign struc ture for Raeford following a meeting of the campaign commit tee this wet k. Piesident of the fund in the county is H. L. Gat liu, Jr., and Mrs. W. C. Hodgin is vire-preMdent. On the cam paign committee with McNeill are J. W. MePhaul, Younger Snead and T. B. Upchurch. Idea behind "United" giving, which is spreading rapidly over the countiy and gaining wide public ticeeptanco. is to unify the many charily drives held each year with the money raised being divided among the charities on a "fair-share" basis. This lowers the cost of raising the money, re lieves the public of having to deal with solicitors for many drives in a year, and relieves many people from having to serve as community chairmen and so licitors for many drives. While all the charities which have con ducted drives in Hoke County in past years are not taking part in the first United Fund drive here, members of the county wide, 24-member board of direc tors hope and feel that the peo ple will like the "United" idea better, and that in future years it will enjoy full participation by all deserving charitable movements. McNeill said the committee woikeu out sc. .:. 1 of the .ub divisional committees for the drive in Raeford, and said that the complete organization for the county would be published next week prior to the beginning of the drive on Monday, October 25, and that a kick-off dinner and instructional meeting of all lead ers and workers in the county would be held at 7:00 p. m. on the night of Monday, October 25. Ho said full plans would be worked out at tliis meeting, and that they could then go out and take the drive to the people of the town and county for one week only, raise the less than $6,000 quota, and have it over with. McNeill said that the large business division of the drive, in cluding all firms with five or more employees, would be head ed by R. B. Lewis, with Jake Austin, Neill A. McDonald and Tom Cameron as members of the committee. The small business division, including all business establish ments with less than five em ployees, will be headed by Wal ter Baker as chairman with John Draughon, Bryan McLamb, Is rael Mann, W. L. Howell, Jr., Marion Gatlin, Kermit Wood, Carlton Niven, Elmore Stanton and Jim Lentz as members of the committee. Dr. Julius Jordan will head the professional group. The indi vidual gifts committee and the committees for the other com munities in the county will be announced next week, McNeill said. McNeill said he was gratified with the response of the people of the town and county when asked to take part in the drive, and that he thought all would be happy and proud of having taken part in this first one when the United Fund here truly becomes one drive for all charities.
