i The Hoke County News- Established 1928 The Hoke County Journal - Established 1905 VOLUME LXIV NUMBER 47 RAEFORD, HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA II PER YEAR 10 PER COPY THURSDAY, APRIL 3. 1969 Around Town BY SAM C.MORRIS The Rev. Allan Smyth, pastor of Bethel and Shiloh Presbyterian Churches, was in the office Monday and made a comment we think worth repeating concerning the stadium drive. He sniJ that any project that could gel so many people working together and in such perfect harmony it good lor any community. It seems from the report that came out of the school last week that the contest between the different classes was a close fight. The students raised over $2,000 in a week at the school. The radiothon last Saturday must have been worth listening to with Raz Autry and Lib Murray singing a duet. I was out of town and didn't hear Lib, but Raz came in loud and clear in Charlotte, without a radio. Another S3, 000 was added during the day. Complete details and further events of the drive can be found in another article. Jesse Peoples and I went to Charlotte last Friday for the Graphic Art Show at the Merchandise Mart. This show is held every two years and the one this year was the largest that has been held in Charlotte. The must modern and up-to-date machinery for printers is on display. The improvements made during the past few years are beyond the thinking of most printers. The printing industry is certainly keeping up with the space age. One machine on display and in operation was an offset press that would take four different jobs at one time. This included copying the proof inserted, printing the jobs, changing the plates and the washing up of the press just by pushing a button. Tliank goodness that all these modern computers and machines still have to have someone to put in a code or push the button. Not only has the machinery been improved, but tlie number of gadgets that aid with the printing trade are numerous. Booth after booth were on display and the sales talk from the salesmen were almost like the man on TV selling the potato peeler. tven if you are not in the printing trade I believe you would really enjoy going tol tlie Graphic Art Show in Charlotte, r Lib Floyd was telling us in the office this week tit t her husband, trooper Billy Floyd, will be assigned to Rose Hill in Duplin County. Me finishes school the middle of April and Lib is staying until alter school is out. After being in Charlotte last weekend, I think they should be glad to go to a small town. Tlie traffic in the Queen City was terrific and anything a city that size could offer would be offset, lor me to put up with the Ira I lk. Younger Sncad was by the office the other day and said he and Nell were going to San Francisco about the middle of the month. Hoke Auto was a district winner in a car selling contest.

In Six Injured In Sun. Wreck Six persons were hospitalized at Moore Memorial Hospital, Sunday night, when a Chevrolet and Volkswagen collided in a head-on crash near here. According to Patrolman Joe Stanley, Wclton Carthen, 61, of Raeford, was charged with making an unsafe movement when he allegedly made a left turn into the path of the Volkswagen, driven by Stcplien Bryan Duncan, 20, of Charlotte.

All suffered serious injuries. A third person riding in the Carthen car was not injured. Patrolman Stanley said the man left the scene before he arrived at the scene. Solicitations Bring Arrests Four persons were arrested here this week for doing house to house solicitations without a permit. Dave C. Montgomery, 22, of Mississippi and Larry N.

McFadyen's Raleigh New Stadium Fund Stands At $13,000 Report Hoke County can now pass ordinances without an act of the legislature. Rep. Neill MeFadyen said this week. Upon recommendations of the Local Government Study Commission, the legislature passed a bill last week granting ordinance making power to counties. From now on, the Hoke County Hoard of Commissioners can pass a law (as does the town board) without an act of the legislature. A stipulation which goes along with the board's new law making privilege is that every ordinance passed by the county board must be advertised for a specified period of time before it can be enforced. McFadycn also reported that disaster money ($312,000) has been made available to areas hit by the winter's ice storm. Those individuals who are not able to overcome loss caused by ice will be eligible to borrow from this fund. a I a low rate of interest. Also of interest to towns like Raeford is a plan presented by Gov. Bob Scott which would bring into being a new state department, if passed by both the Senate and House. The department would devote its time to assisting local government in economic development, in land use, in housing and industrial development. The Governor has pointed out that larger cities retain salaried personnel who do nothing but work on industrial development and city or county economic issues. These persons are educated to the facts of how and where to obtain federal grants. The small town which cannot afford such an officer find the federal funds deplenished before they learn which way to turn to get a due portion. The proposed department would stand ready to offer quick advice on the subject. Rep. McFadyen said that at least one Sic Mil M)YI S Pjpo II Take Lib Munay and Raz Autry off life air for 15 minutes and you will receive $10 was one of the many telephone calls received laslSaluiday during the Stadium Fund Radiothon over WSHB here.

The air time was donated by the station and the fund raising committee wishes to thank Larry Long and other members of the station staff.
