Halloween drive Set For UNICEF Young people of Raeford Methodist, Presbyterian and Catholic churches will combine efforts October 31 and play ■‘trick or treat” for the United Nations International Emergen cy Fund. It is the United Nations chll- •dren’s fund’s exclusive job to aid the suffering and dying chil dren of the wprld, The weapons in this battle for life arc vac cines, medicines, vitamins. Jeeps, food, clinical equip ment and supplies. The first requirement is money. Local children will join those in over 13,000 other American communities to collect coins to strengthen the work done by UilCEF. Every penny, nickel and dime they receive may spell the dif ference between hope and de spair, between life and death for a small boy or girl in a fai?^away land, a spokesman said. Miss Ethelynde Ballance, di rector of Christian education at the Methodist church, said that the town will be divided and that children from one church would work one section and from another, another sec tion to avoid overlapping.

Young Bike Rider Is Struck By Cetr A 10-year-old Dundarrach lad was seriously Injured Sunday afternoon when the bicycle he was riding was struck by, a car on a rural paved road between Dundarrach and Antioch. State Highway Patrolman E. W. Coen identified the boy as Kennefil Michael Mcltinis, sor. of Mr. and Mrs. GlennMcInnis. He is in Cape Fear Valley Hos pital in Fayetteville, suffering from a compound fracture of one leg and other serious in juries. Driver of the car was listed as Mrs. CorneliaCarlyleQuick, 61, of Laurlnburg. Coen said Mrs. Quick told him she observed the bicycle going on the right shoulder of the road in the same direction she was traveling, and that she slowed her car and pulled toward the center of the road. "She told me that as she neared the bike, it turned left directly into her path,” Coen said. He said evidence at the scene indicated the bike was in about the middle of the right lane and HAUJOWEEN was struck by the auto’s right front fender. No charges have been filed in tbe accident. Meanwhile, close observation by Coen late at night probably saved the life of a Hoke County Indian man whose car left the rc^^ and plunged into Hodgin’s Pond at Antioch. Coen said he was returning to Raeford at about 2 a. m. Saturday after investigating a wreck on N. C. 211 near the Hoke-Robeson line. At Antioch, he observed dirt on the road pavement, as if it had been thrown there by a car wheel skidding on the shoulder of the road. ”1 looked to the left and ob served an automobile’s wheels sticking out of the water,’’Coen said. He dashed into the water, wade to the car, which was up side down in waste-deep water. ”1 could hear somebody blow ing water, trying to keep his head out,” Coen said. Coen said he calmed the man See WRECK, Page 9 Hoke Pair Will Take U.N.

The drive will seek to raise $22,077—largest in the fund’s history, but only slightly higher than last year. The fund fi nances about a dozen local pro jects and contributes varying amounts to state and national activities which benefit the local area. Bulk of the money will come again this year from employes of Burlington industries two plants here. Burlington work ers are the largest bloc of do nors to the drive. Solicitation at the Raeford Worsted Plant and Pacific Mills Dyeing Plant is being handled by Burlington employes. Sam Homewood is chairman for Rae ford Worsted and Larry Algood for Pacific Mills.

Na tural Gas, $25; Carolina Power and Light Company, $125: Aber deen Coca-Cola Bottling Com pany, $100; Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company, $75, and Coble Dairies, $10.

Bohliv Bodies, Charles McGougan ■ .d Kel t run i'let. BY JIM TAYLOR If you thought that hour you lost last spring when North Carolina went on Eastern Daylight Time (in April), be assured that that isn’t the case. You’ll get it back Sunday. That means you can get an extra hour ol sleep Sunday night if you go to bed on EDT and arise on EST. (remember how disgruntled you were when you overslept the morning EDT went into effect?). The switch back to Standard time will occur at 2 a. m, Sunday. This summer’s stint of Daylight Time (it used to be Daylight Saving Time, until somebody complained that it didn’t save any daylight) since World War II, when the whole nation had it because of the war ef fort. On the whole. Daylight Time has been re ceived quite well in Raeford and Hoke County. There are opponents, to he sure, but people who go to work at 7 and 8 o’clock m the morn ing generally sing its praises. During the long summer days, Daylight Time got one to work an hour earlier (according to 'sun time’) and the work day was ended In what practically amounted to mid-afternoon. That gave workers a better chande to piddle around the house or go fishing, because sev eral hours of daylight remained alter the> came home from work. It apparentlj didn’t make much difference to second and third shift workers. Farmers generally didn't like it, because some farmers are as cantankerous about changing the time as they are about changing times. Then there were the ones who calculate that monkeying with the time is interfering with Providence. If the Lord wanted the sun to go down at 9 p. m. instead ot 8, He’d move up the sun and we wouldn’t have to fool with changing the clock, thev jakinjly contend. Daylight Time was given to the people ot North Carolina as a tut of the 1367 General AssembI). In previous sessions oi the Legis lature, all efforts to get in tune with .leigh- horing states failed as pressure frem “back home” prevailed. Being different than nei.;hborlng states didn’t make much dttference in the interior, out in the borders, it was murder.
