The Main Street of Raeford
and the reason for it being so
wide and the turning around of
the wagon in it haa brought forth
two comments to add further to
the subject.
Miss Ila Graham, assistant
clerk of the superior court, came
by and told me how the atreet
was laid off. According to her,
J. W. McLauchlin asked her fath-
0 er, J. D. Graham, to take a wag
on and team of mules to the
north of town and drive back in
a straight line and that would be
the Main Street of the town. Mr.
McLauchlin, as Miss Graham re-
14 calls from what her father says,
wanted to be certain that it was
a straight line and Mr. Graham
did the driving because he said
he could drive the wagon accord
ing to Mr. McLauchlin’s instruc
tions. She said she talked this
week with Will Lamont and he
confirms what is writen above.
He could even recall the names
of the mules which were “Alice”
and “Henry.”
‘ Mrs. Luke Bethune recalls that
at a Kiwanis meeting a number
of years ago Edwin McKeithan,
now business manager at Moore
Memorial hospital, said that the
reason Raeford’s Main Street
was so wide was because Mr. Mc
Lauchlin wanted it so you could
turn a two-horse wagon around
in it. He stated, according to
Mrs. Bethune, that he heard Mr.
McLauchlin make this statement.
Don’t forget that the registra-
'tion books will be open this Sat
urday at your voting place, if
you are not registered be sure to
do so.
A letter was received from La
mont Brown of Southern Pines,
formerly of Raeford and now
t Chairman of the Moore Demo
cratic Executive Committee, in
viting Hoke County people to at
tend a Democratic yelly in Moore
County dn' Saturday, 22, at
12:00 noon. It Will he held at
(the Southern Pines High School
gym, and Adlai Stevenson will be
the principle speaker. Also on
the program will be Terry San
ford, Governor Luther Hodges
and Congressman A. Paul Kitch-
in. Food wUl be served at 11:15
a. m. So if you want to hob nob
with the high class politicians be
sure to go up Saturday week.
The football game at La ur in
burg last Friday night was play
ed in the rain but still the Rae
ford fans turned out for it. I
hope the shoes I had on will dry
out before another week rolls
around. One local fellow who
forgot his raincoat said he had
equipment for rainy weather he
used hunting and fishing but as
luck would have it he also left
it at home. Yes, it was a wet
night last Friday—if you don’t
believe me ask Neil Senter.

Health Department
Busy Past Months
Dr. Clifton Davenport, Hoke
County Health Director, present
ed his quarterly report to the
Hoke County Board of Health on
Friday, stating that it is the feel
ing of the Health department that
TB in the county can be conquer
ed' through a cooperative effort
with the state Health department
“In connection with this pro
gram, the Jaycees are going to
sponsor a free x-ray mobile unit
in Raeford on October 28th, 29th,
and $0th,” he told the board.
“Our department is going to
cooperate to the fullest extent
with the Junior Chamber of Com
merce on this endeavor, and I
believe that a great deal of good
will come from it. It is just such
projects that will some day
It is just such projects that will
stamp out the disease and the
Jaycees are to be congratulated
for adopting the idea this year.”
Davenport also stated that the
Hoke Health department is going
to bring a mobile unit to Raeford
after the first of the year to give
free chest x-ray examinations to
all workers in industry in the
county.
The board discussed making
chest x-rays a requirement for
getting a health card and decided
to recommend that persons in
terested get an x-ray. To get such
an x-ray at this time a trip to
the sanitorium at McCain where
there is a fee of $2 charged for
the service.
During the quarter from July
through September the Health
Department administered 524
complete doses of vaccine for im
munization against diphtheria,
whooping cought, smallpox, ty
phoid fever, tetanus and other
diseases. Also administered were
317 does of polio vaccine.

All personnel of Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation of

committee received recognition
on October 3, from the State ASC
Committee and the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
ASC office in Raeford, in com
petition with Anson, Lee, Montgo
mery, Moore, Richmond, Scot
land, Stanly and Union counties
in the district, has been picked
as the outstanding county office
in District 6 for 1960. This is the
third consecutive year that Hoke
county has received this award.
H. D. Godfrey, State Odminls-
trative . Officer for the Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva

ment made in Salisbury, explain

Elementary school^ with thek leader, Mrs. functions during the school year.
In evaluating the counties in
the district, following elements
were considered: Service to far
mers, greeting the work done,
planning and organizing the
work, office morale, physical lay
out of the office, and relation
ships with other agencies, organi
zations and associations. Of the
six elements involved in grading
the work of the ASC county of
fice, the first two listed carried
more weight than the remaining
four, Godfrey explained.
The efficiency and effective
ness of performance in each coun
ty office was considered in re
lation to the programs in effect
in the county and available re
sources of the office, and the
staff for accomplishing the job.
This assured that each county
office would receive equal con
sideration regardless of the size
w number of programs involved. (
In recognition of having beenj
picked as the outstanding ASC
county office in the district, a
certificate of merit was awarded
for display in the county office,

tomorrow night at 8:d0 p. m. in
Anhory park.
The Bucks, like the weather,
stormed over Laurinbjur'g Friday
night 26-0 while Massey Hill was
winning its first game 21-0 over
71st High school in Cumberland
county.
Massey Hill’s season record
stands at 1-4-1 and she fanks at
the bottom of the District II
standings.
The Pirates (not to be confus
ed with the high-flying club from
Pittsburgh) are coached by Paul
Rogers and Tommy Levvis.
Outstanding players, accord
ing to the coaches, are: , Larry
Reeves, tackle; Phillip Parker,
center; Ted Cooper, fullback;
and Johnny Marr, quarterback.
Big. gun in the win over 71st
on Friday night was James Beas
ley, Pirate quarterback. He made
the first touchdown and also
kicked two extra points during
the romp in which Massey Hill
gained 259 yards rushing.
The Bucks arc favored to make
quick work of the Cumberland
club.
Friday night’s rain slowed the
Bucks very little during their
game at Laurinburg Friday night
and the Scots had little hut the
shirts on their backs after the!
final whistle blew. . The Bucks
ran up a 26-0 lead and had it not
been for the rain that cramped
the Hoke High passing attack,
the-score might hhve been high
