2 &W3 The Hoke County News- Established 1928 The Hoke County Journal - Established 1905 VOLUME LXV NUMBER 3 RAEFORD, HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 4 PER YEAR 10 PER COPY THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1969 In Superior Court Around Town BY SAM C.MORRIS The graduation issue of the paper has kept me busy this week and I haven't been around town to pick up the latest gossip. Two letters have been received which I pass along to you and I think they will be of interest: A letter from Matt Boykin, president of the Red Springs Twins baseball club, is as follows: The Minnesota Twins are holding a tryuut camp at Robbins Field in Red Springs on June II, 1969 at 10:00 A.M. The camp is open to all young men between the ages of 17 and 22. Each participant is asked to bring shoes, glove and bat. Registration will be held at 8:00 A. M. that morning in the Twins office at the park. A letter from Raz Autry, Hoke High School principal, follows: Dear Sam: Aj my second year comes to a close as principal of Hoke County High School, I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the fine support I have received from the people of the county. It has been a most interesting year; at times very interesting, and at other times very demanding. But in the interest and the demands the supporters of the school co-operated to the utmost degree. I have always tried to do what was right for the students, and I have worked with the public long enough to know that everyone hasn't agreed with me, but as long as I feel I am doing what is right for the students and the school, I have no apologies to make to anyone. The people of Hoke County are extremely lucky, because they have some of the finest young people I have ever known. Their sense of dedication and understanding in doing what is right would make many of us hang our heads in shame. 1 have been greatly impressed by the respect that the community hold's for its teachers. I am equally sure this is the reason so many fine teachers have remained in the county. 1 couldn't close without expressing my deep appreciation to the news media: The News Journal and the local radio station. These two fine establishments have supported us in all of our endeavors. My family and 1 have found a special place in our hearts for the county, and try to be good ambassadors wherever we travel.
