Schools of tne county after be-
ln( closed Thursday and Friday
for the sleet, got going again
Monday, although some of the
stuff is still around ,here on
Wedgjihdny afternoon. Principal
Dewey^BaggiBs, greeting a teen
ager in my presence during the
week end, added that he hoped
they enjoyed their Easter vaca
tion.
I have it from lUjiable sour
ces that no one died suddenly on
Main Str'^t Monday, or at any
•ther time during the past week.
Archie Hector Ray became ill on
the street Monday,, but after
treatment by a doctor went on
home where he was reported yes
terday is to be doing very well.
The county is going to employ
a dog warden next week or at
least that is the plbn,° and Dr.
Clifton Davenport, health officer,
and Dr. Julius Jwdah of the
commissioners, are taking appli
cations. They have* several al
ready, I am told, and the inter
esting thing about it to me is
that the warden is not going to be
a dog vaccinator as in the past,
but will work half of each day
enforcing the dog laws, round
ing up strays, etc., at the direc
tion of the health officer. Salary
of $150 monthly has been re
commended. Vaccinations are ,to
be accomplished by a. veterinarian
at clinics, with details and sched-
Qles to be announced later . . .
•0 the public payroD continues to
grow. Not at the expense of the
budget this time, though, for
the dog warden willloe paid from
an appropriation no larger. Dr.
Davenport tells me. Difference is
that dog owners will have to
pay $1 each for vaccinations from
now on,, instead of having the
county-furnish them if the dog
was listed for taxes as in the past.
Improvement^ In the Rdmioi-
. Well, yesterday was the day
after “Miss Iita” quit around at
the library, and the gals of the
county got busy and gave her a
real first class tea, and the turn
out was good ahd big, indicating
the affection and esteem in which^
she is held. I didn’t go, but I was
represented, and the details
will be given proper social treat
ment in next week’s paper. As
a member of the library board
of trustees in fair standing, I was
allowed to have some cookies and
punch brought to me at my place
.of labor. They were delicious,
girls, and thanks. Best wishes.

7he Bank of Raeford made it
a clean sweep Monday night
when A. W. Wood, Jr., assistant
cashiSrr was presented the Dis
tinguished Service Award for
the Young Man of the Year in
Hoke County. The award is giv
en each year by the Raeford
Junior Chamber of Commerce on
their annual Dosses’ Nighi
• tewis, the daycees ’Wffl re-
bank, earlier in the month re
ceived the Raeford Kiwanis
qiib’s “Man of the Year” a-
ward. The main speaker of the
evening was^the past president
of the National Jaycees, Bob Cox,
of Chapel Hill. The banquet was
cafeteria.
The award to Wood was made
by Ken W. McNeill who stated
that he had written acceptance
speeches for several years never
to use them and when he was
asked to present it this year, he
knew he would never receive it
as he would be too old next
year. McNeill said^ that Wood
was chosen by a, secret commit
tee after several names had been
turned in to them.
The recipient of the award
was born in the Rockfish com
munity of Hoke County in July,
1927. He attended school there
and graduated at Hoke High
SchObl, He completed his edu
cation at Presbyterian Junior
College and the University of
North Carojina at Chapel Hill.
He also served in the U. S. Navy.

ber 1949 to Jeanne Shiel of Wil
mington and they ^ave three
children, two boys and a girl. He
is a member of the First Baptist
Church where he has served as
clerk. As a member of the Robe
son Baptist Association, be was
the driving power behind the or
ganization of a new adult class in
the church which now has 88
members. .He is active in the
Booster Club and wilTsoon be
come a member of the Hoke
County Board of Education.
In accepting the award Wood
stated he was -surprised to get
something he didn’t deserve but
“Thanks, anyway.”
Cox besides being past ives-
membered as a place kicking
specialist during the football big
days at Carolina along with Char
ge Justice. His talk was based
on the statement “We are at
War.” He stated wars before had
been fought for control of land.
Hlld in the McLauchlin Schobh -*®® today the war
we are engaged in is for the con
trol of people.
He briefly traced the history
of communism and told what
communists intended to do and
are doing in the world today.
“The newspapers, radios and oth
er means of fast communication
Won’t let us hide ourselves,” Cox
said. “We must be aware of hi.s-
'tory and recognize it. Our nation
must look back into history, see
what it is for us today and what
it will bring us in the future.
The turmoil we have in our
country caused by civil rights,
labor relations, and so forth,
must be answered to the world
or we will be eliminated, by the
teachers of communism.”
“The people of this country
have grown too rich, too fat, and.
want somebody else to do their
thinking,” Cox stated. “To win
this war of today we must all do
our share to sell the cause of
Nationalism to the world, and
we must do it to survive.”
The speaker was introduced by
Bill Clark.
Don Cameron was master of
ceremonies and the invocation
was pronounced by Neill A. Mc-
NeiU.

team handed Sanford’s Yellow
Jackets their first conference de
feat of the season here Tuesday
night and drew into contention
for the league lead in District IV
play. Sanford was fading with a
54) record while the Bucks stood
at 4-2 after their defeat by Wades-
bore two weeks ago. After iHies-
day nighPs game Sanford was
5^1 and the Bucks were 5-2.
The Bucks will play in Laurin-
burg Friday night, and on Satur-
.day night will play Wadesboro
here at the usual time in a game
that will probably determine the
leaderehip of District IV. It is
to make up last ^day night’s
game called because of the
weather.
Upchurch la Hot
Against the Yellow Jackets the
Bucks trailed at the half, 34-32,
but Larry Upchurch got hot on
rebounds and outside shots and*
they took over in the last half
to win 62-53. Upchurch .got 13
field«goals.
McNeill’s Highest Yet
Hoke’s girls ran wild over the
Sanford girls and more than dou
bled the score on them^ 89-38.
They were paced hy Evans Mc
Neill, who got 40 points, her
highest score for any game this
season, in only two full quarters
of play.
After scoring 20 points in the
first quarter, McNeiU was taken
out for the remainder of the
half, only to come back in th^
third and the opening moments
of the fourth with 20 more .
