Commissioners Look Into
Report Of Grand Jury
The Hoke County Commissioners arc
waiting until the new budget is set to
decide what they should do about the
recommendations made by the Grand
Jury in reference to the Health Center.
According to the Grand Jury report the
Health Center is in need of fresh paint on
the outside woodwork, the waiting room
and hall and new draperies.
Superintendent Donald Abcmclhy was
called to the County Commissioner's May
5 meeting to report on the Grand Jury's
recommendations in connection with the
schools. Abernethy did not see why the
city garage needed a new heating system,
a pot belly stove is now the building's
means of heat in the winter. But he said
he would check into the possibility of
installing a gas wall heater. The lights in
the garage he felt would be no problem
and said he would get some florescent
lights installed.
The seventh grade wing at L'pchurch'
school was found to be in need of heat
and a new roof and the auditorium also
needed a roof and repairs. Abernethy said
that these improvements were either on
the drawing board or soon to be started.
Larger portions of food to the students ut
South Hoke School was another
recommendation presented by the Grand
Jury. Abernethy reported that he would
have the school food director look in to
the problem.
The Commissioners voted non-support
to legislative bill 881 . Under this bill the
County Treasure would no longer sign the
checks for the County school fund. The
commissioners felt that this would
weaken their control on the schools.
A letter from SCAP requesting the
County's participation in a Neighborhood
Youth Corp was tabled until further
information can be obtained.
The Commissioners voted to continue
their support of the PACE program. Six
summer PACE workers will be employed
this year at a cost to the County of
$860.55.
Additional Funds for the air
conditioner in the Courtroom, Jury
Room and Grand Jury room were
approved. The balcony in tlic Courtroom
will be closed except for a small space at
the top for ventilation.
Mrs. Ellen Willis, County Home Agent,
reported that 32 women attended the
district meeting in Salisbury. She also
reported that the nutrulion aids are
progressing satisfactorily and now arc
working with 20 families each. Wendell
Young. County Farm Agent, reported
that county crops arc having a difficult
time. There has been some re-setting of
tobacco and replanting of col ton.
The commission re-appointcd Dr.
Robert Townsend Jr., William R.
Wind Icy. and J. II Austin to the
Southeastern Economic Development
Commission.
Veterans
Corner
EDITOR'S NOTE: Below are
authoritative answers by the
Veterans Administration to
some of the many current
questions from former
servicemen and their families.
Further information on
veterans benefits may be
obtained at any VA office.
Q - I am receiving a
nonservicc connected
disability pension from the
Veterans Administration and
was under the impression that I
would get an increase starting
in January 1969. However, I
am receiving the same amount.
Please explain.
A - The new pension system
does not provide for
automatic, across-the-board
increases. Pensions are now
'keyed to SI 00 variations in
income. This will cause an
increase in pensions for sonic,
but no change for others such
as yourself. VA representatives
will be happy to explain the
new pension system and
answer any additional
questions you may have.
Q - I am a veteran of World
War II and will soon reach my
65th birthday. Will I be
entitled to a VA pension?
A - You may be eligible for
a pension from the Veterans
Administration at age 65 if
your income from all sources
does not exceed $2,000 a year
if you are single, or $3,200
year if you have one or more
dependents. A wife's income
and the size of your estate are
factors which must also be
considered. For further
information and assistance,
clicck with your nearest VA
office.
Almost 99 out of 100
servicemen now have the low
cost Servicemen's Group Life
Insurance which costs $2 per
month for $10,000 coverage or
$1 for $5,000.
Modern West Berlin Glitters
Two Decades After Blockade
Recent reports of a possible
new Berlin crisis recall that two
decades have passed since the
great 1948-49 Airlift.
For 1 1 months, Allied
airmen working around the
clock brought more than
2,300,000 tons of food and
supplies to blockaded West
Berlin. Some 275,000 trips
were made, the National
Geographic Society says.
At its peak, "Operation
Vittles"-.s American pilots
called it-landed a supply-laden
airplane in West Berlin every
45 seconds.
Soviet authorities finally
lifted the blockade on May 12,
1949, but the massive rhythm
of the Airlift continued on a
lesser Kale until early fall. The
operation saved West Berlin,
and cost 77 lives-41 Britons,
31 Americans, and 5 Germans.
Despite the blockade and
other harassments. West Berlin
has risen phoenixlike from the
ashes of World War II.
Now the largest industrial
complex between Paris and
Moscow, the city stands 104
miles inside East Germany-a
1 86-square-mile island of
freedom in a Communist set.
Some of Europe's most
dazzling nightclubs, theaters,
shops, and restaurants line the
Kurfurstendamm, West Berlin's
Clumps Elysees. The city's
opera house, orchestra,
museums, botanical gardens,
zoo, and aquarium rank among
the world's finest.
A bustling social life, aided
by 4.000 nighclubs, keeps
seven breweries busy. A West
Berliner drinks 21 gallons of
beer annually almost 50
percent more than per capita
consumption in the United
States.
Berlincrs favor a variety of
malt concoctions. One popular
brew, Berliner Weisse. is a dry,
foamy beer spiked with
raspberry syrup.
On sunny weekends, the 189
lakes, rivers, and streams that
decorate the city are crowded
Even pets have special
privileges: One lovely lake
provides a bathing beach for
dogs only.
West Berliners also seek
recreation on two unusual
mountains. Both were formed
from wartime rubble.
Allied bombers all but
eradicated Berlin, destroying or
heavily damaging 132,000 of
149,960 buildings in the
western portion alone. The
rubble could have created
almost 20 Great Pyramids.
Some went into rebuilding; the
rest was piled in huge hills that
now have toboggan slides, ski
runs, an outdoor swimming
pool, and a miniature golf
course.
For West Berliners, the free

world ends at the
26'4-mile-long Schandmauer--"wall
of shame"- erected
without warning in 1961.
Before the Wall made escape
from East to West Berlin so
perilous, more than three
million refugees crossed the
border. National Geographic
writer Robert L. Conly who
visited Berlin in 1 958, reported
that about 4,700 East Germans
a week slipped into West Berlin
while he was there.
Safely across, they found
their way to Marienfelde, the
refugee reception center near
the edge of town The center, a
German friend told Mr. Conly,
"is known to every
three-year-old child in East
Germany. First they learn to
say 'mother,' then 'father,' and
then 'Marienfelde.'"
