^he ~ journal Sill; McDowell Telh DTil Likrir; Mist live SilU Fiiiiciil Sipport The Hoke-Reeford PTA hetrd the new County Libra* rlan Monday night at their re gular monthly meeting. Mrs. Sally McDowell told Ae par ents and teachers that “ a library exists to provide ma terials which communicate experience and ideas from one person to another." SALLY MCDOWELL .... What Is A Library? The Fayetteville extension specialist, called in to Hoke County when the local public librai7 needed certified per sonnel in order to keep state funds, saidt "The objectives of a good library cannot be achieved un less there is sufficient and continuing hnancial support." ( A referendum November 7 will decide whether the Board of Countv Commissioners can levy up to five cents per . 'j$ipo valuation in support of the Public Library.) * Mrs. McDowell pointed out that thousands of hours of volunteer labor is no substl- 4 tute for a professionally trai ned and financed staff. A public library, said Mrs. McDowell, is a department of local government set up to serve a specific area, "It differs from other depart ments of local government, such as the Health Director, in that it is responsible to a Board of Trustees , who operate under state le gislation." * Tracing briefly the history of libraries in North Caro lina, Mrs. McDowdlnoted that the state's first was establis hed in Bath In'lTOObyThomas Bragg: by 1910, there were 15 p^llc libraries in the state, in 1923, the first bookmobile took to the roads at Durham; in 1966, the State Library was established; in 1957, fed eral funds became available under theLlbrary Service Act. Mrs. McDowell, married to a Fayetteville broadcaster, has been a professional llbra- \l| rian her entire working life. She and her husband have one child. Prior to Mrs. McDowell's talk, the PTA voted an ap propriation of $50 to Mrs. L. W. Turner for special tea ching materials used in con- juncdon vrith her.classes for “under-privileged" children. A PTA spokesman said, "We only had $80 in our trea sury the other night, but we vot^ $50 to Mrs. Turner. We've been giving her a comparable gift for several years now. We feel her work is very important." The ih'A membership drive continues, with dues set at 50 cents per year for parents, grand-parents and friends of education. Pirker Brothers Die, Services For Dos kti R.D. A double measure of tragedy struck the Parker family this last week when two brothers, Gus B. and Robert D., bodi' passed on. Gus Parker., 64, of Rock- fish Community died Friday night in the Veterans Hospi tal at Fayetteville. Brother Robert D. , of Wayside, col lapsed from a heart anack Monday afternoon and died en route to a hospital. Services for Gus Parker were held Sunday at Parker's Methodist Church, with the Rev. H. W. Gventer and the Rev. B. 0. Shannon officiating. Burial was in the Church cemetery. Gus Parker is survived by his wife. Mrs. Grace McRel- *'ier’'barker," biiddaughter. Norma Parker; one son.

Tilt it Hulet The Bucks end a brief one- week layoff this Friday night as they journey to Hamlet to tangle with the once-beaten (but very potent) Red Rams. Coach Mike Caskey's grid- ders show only a 7-0 loss to Sanford, which surprised the fans last week by easily dum ping Rockingham 18-0. As Sanford heads for the confe rence championship, a three- way battle for second place is shaping up between theRoc- kets, Bucks and Red Rams. The Friday night game should go a long way toward settling the second place ques tion. Buck Coach Floyd Wilson reported all his troops were sound in both body and mind, as workouts continued. Asked whether he had added any "new wrinkles" to his team, Wilson said: "It's too late for that kind of stuff now. We're into the homestretch anef We've gotta go with what we got. That in cludes both the boys and our' offensive and defensive for mations." After two lacklustre games against Lumberton and Rock ingham, Wilson Installed a new offensive series based on a straight power smash just outside the defensive end. The Buck offense, beginning with the 7-7 tic at Sanford, then commenced to roll. The Red Rams opened their season with a surprising 7-6 upset of Fayetteville, then came the narrow loss to San ford, followed by successive wallopings of Massey Hill, Cheraw, West Mecklenburg and Wadesboro. In those last four games, the Hamlet grld- ders amassed 80 points to a big zero for their four op ponents. "They've got an awfully rough line " said Wilson looking over his scouting re ports. But Coach Caskey said his boys had taken a i^ysical beat ing in their last two winning efforts. Among the casualties he listed quarterback Bill Harris. andtackleRickyJohn- son, out with foot injuries, and tackle John Lomax whose status is questionable because of a cracked sternum. Caskey thought Raeford fans would do well to watch full back Joe Robinson, a 185- pound senior, and lineman Earl Yates, who weighs in at 205. Asked what he bought of the Bucks, the Hamlet coach singled out Jimmy Byrd as “a mighty fine quarterback." The Red Rams have 17 lettermen back from last year's club that compiled a respectable 6-4 record, in cluding a 20-6 loss to the Bucks. " You hurt us with the wide stuff lut year," Caskey said, indicating he would not be fooled again. And Wilson claimed his practice sessions in prepara tion for the Hamlet game were dominated by one considera tion; "Hit or be hit. kill or be killed," said the Buck men tor. "That's what is going to win this very tough ball game." ■,v — 1. • J. - a- 1/.' ■' ^ (T A' \ SANDHILL VISITOR -- A worried young President took time out last week to visit nearby Fort Bragg.

Com munity summary sheets and scrap books will be closely examined, as well as the ac tual Improvements that will be visited. Arrangements for time and meeting place with the judges will be made with each com munity president. Each pre sident should select the time his community wants, and no tify the Home Agent's office.

Raeford Lions Plan For Glaucoma Clinic The Raeford Lions, busy planning a glaucoma clinic, heard an expert on the sub ject last week—Dr. Cooper Howard of Clinton. Dr. Howard told the Lions that one out of 50 persons past the age of 40 is suf fering from acute or chronic glaucoma. A major cause of blindness, glaucoma, like can cer, can be cured only if de tected in time. Glaucoma symptoms do not usually become noticeable to the patient until partial blind ness has set in. Dr. Howard concluded. It is for this reason, said Lions President Marvin Pin son, that Lions Clubs through out the country sponsor glau coma detection clinics as a part of the civic organization’s work on the problem of blind ness—its prevention, cure and rehabilitation.

S, Rubber and $7,641.50 from the Raeford Plant of Pacific Mills. The slogan for the Indus trial Division had been, "W© are doing our part, are you doing yours?” Gibson said that most of the contributions In his divi sion had been from school personnel. "In spite of their recent pay raise, our teachers are a long way from being wealthy, and their generous support of the United Fund has certainly pleased us all.” he said. Other Division contribu tions were reported Tuesday as follows: COMMERGAL - $1,266. COUNTY AREAS—$741.26 PROFESSIONAL — $385.50 McFadyen estimated that more than 100 persons volun teered their time and labor for the United Fund Campaign. “We couldn't b^ln to thank them all." he said, adding: "Now if the captains will just bring in all the outstand ing pledge cards, I feel sure this campaign is over." Asked what he was going to do'with the funds collec ted, McFadyen replied: "They’ll be turned over to the Hoke United Fund head ed by Clyde Upchurch, Jr. Our job was to raise the money, and that job is just about over.
