Charles Morrison, town clerk, reported to The News - Journal yesterday that he had been ad vised by J. E. Easterling of the Local Government commission that the town’s $480,000 water and sewer bonds had been sold at an average interest rate of 4.6536 per cent. This rate is about what had been expected, as five per cent had been used as a figure in calculating the cost of the issues before they were voted on. The two issues were approved by Raeford voters in a special election held on December 8, af ter some difficulty had been ex perienced with the water and sewage facilities las year. The issues are - $165,000 for water system, improvements atid $315,- 000 for a new sewage disposal plant for the town. The bonds were purchased by Vance Securities Corporation of vireensboro and the J. Lee Peel er Company of Durham. They are to be signed and delivered by March 17 at Security National Bank in Greensboro. To Let Contracts Contracts for the work on the projects will be signed very shortly now, Morrison said, as they have already been awarded on the basis of low bids. The low bidders were notified yes terday of the bond sale and ^at following certain administrative details by the mayor and town board the contracts could be signed.

McFadyen of Raeford as campaign manager I for Sanford in Hoke County. In making the announcement' Bennett said that McFadyen’s wide circle of friends, together with his reputation for being civic-minded and willing to work for. good government led to his I selection. ‘Mr. McFadyen is the i type of man we know any can didate would be proud to have speak for him,- and I can tell you ! for sure that Terry Sanford is proud and happy to have Neill McFadyen on his side in Hoke County.” McFadyen is a native of Hoke County.

A committee met in Maxton Friday night to work on the pos sibilities and need for an indus trial training center for the area, and considerable progress was shown, according to John F. Campbell, Hoke County member of the committee. Following a meeting of the as sociation in Lumberton recently it was decided that a building should be sought in Maxton which might be used for a school to be operated by the division of vocational education of the North Carolina Department of Public Instrucion. At the meeting Friday night. President L. L. McDonald of the Tar Heel Assodation, of Park- ton, was present, along with Pat Treadaway of Lamberton, Murphy McGirt of Maxton, Wade Maness of Laurinburg and Camp- beU. The group learned that a suit able building on the old Launn- burg-Maxton Air Base would definitely be available for the instruction center, and ttey alao learned that the State diviaioB would conduct the survey dur ing the third week of March to determine if there are aulfiriMt potential industrial workers io the three counties interested in such a program to make it prac tical. McDonald, in Raeford this week, said that interest had al ready been shown by soaM !■- dustry in the program, aod that the whole thing now depeods largely on the results of the sur vey.
