C. 10c PER COPY $3.00 PER YEAR News - J T.I "VI raj zfcl. nJa -"- Br The Editor I It has been called to our at tention that D. R. Huff, Jr., was named as a member of the new county ASC committee in last week's paper by error. Huff, Jr., is a member of the county school board, but is was his father who was elected a member of the ASC committee. Ruckus up the road that people down this way were not inter ested in nor concerned about may get more interesting to some of us, I gather from newspaper re ports of last week. I refer to the effort by Durham to get a nat ional highway marking of 1-A running through it, in which the marking of 15-A from Creedmoor to Laurinburg was used as a precedent. Failing in their at tempt to get 1-A, some activity is now being expended to cut out 13-A, and alternate markings as a policy Of course, this possibility would not concern as many people a round here as it once would have, now that they have taken the town off the highway and fixed the entrance from the north so so you have to fight your way a cross the highway to get off of it to come to Raefqrd. Loss of 15-A might eventually mean loss or serious reduction of the ex cellent bus service we have here now, though I don't believe there could be much danger of the high way commission letting itself be influenced by what appears to be nothing but a spite demand by persons not concerned at all. Fifth annual "resource - use conference" was held at Upchurch School on Tuesday, with about 500 colored teachers from Hoke Scotland and Robeson Counties gathering for the day's program and dinner. The program included glee club and band concerts, confer ences on various specific phases of resource-use education, and an address by Dr. Alfonsa Elder, president of North Carolina Col lege in Durham. Dinner was roast turkey with all accessories. The visitors were welcomed by Supt K. A. MacDonald. General chairman of the con ference was Principal G. A. Page of Upchurch, and his planning committee from the county in cluded Mesdames A. W. Prid gen. Flora Hawkins, Elmora Miles, Nellie Flowers, and Reba Holmes. Last instalment of the series of articles on Raeford Institute was to have been run with the last four pages printed. There is not going to be space., so it will have to wait until next week.

Sales were on for a per iod at noon and again at night and a right good sum was raised for the church. The most inter esting and spiritually uplifting experience of the Philippi in gathering is the thanksgiving and testimonial service held in the church when the sales are over, led by the Rev. W. B.

The house is locat ed on June's 320-acre farm which runs to the Fort Bragg re servation and is bounded by the Raeford-Vass road on the west. Being on the other side of Rockfish Creek from here, the farm has come to be known as "Cross Creek" farm by the John sons, along with the other' land adjoining it and belonging . to June and his family. It came into the family through June's grand father, Joseph Upchurch, who bought it, along with a good bit more now in the reservation, and cut the timber. Only about 100 acres are clear ed on this place, and June uses it mostly to raise grain. Mrs. Johnson is the former Miss Jean Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Clark of Lum berton, and they were married in 1942. They have two daugh ters, Shirley, 10, and Marianne, eiirht; and one son, Julian, four.
