The Hoke County News- Established 1928 The Hoke County Journal - Established 1905 VOLUME LXV NUMBER 16 RAEFORD, HOKE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA 4 PER YEAR 10 PER COPY THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1969 Completely Integrated Around Town BY SAM MORRIS The letter that Mr. Jamet 0. Miller wrote to the editor of this piper on July 31 teems to hive started the wheels moving to aid her with her mentally retarded child. She called me last week and said that she also wrote to the governor's office and had received a telephone call from there. Since her call , others have responded and the following meetings were held this week. On Tuesday afternoon representatives from the state office in Raleigh and Fayetteville met with Mrs. Miller and others at her home to make plans for work in Hoke County. On Wednesday Dr. Richard Byrd from the Mental Clinic in Pinehurst met in the office of Miss Mabel McDonald, Social Service director, with other leaders of the county to see what they could work out. From these two meetings something should come forth to keep the ball rolling. If anyone it interested in this project and hasn't let someone know, please call Mrs. Harry McLean or Miss McDonald. If you can't get them, then call me and the message will be relayed. In just four weeks, with the effort of only a few, it looks as if aid is on the way to Mrs. Miller. If you can help, please do so. Mrs. Margaret Ann Lamster, who his been reporting for us the put four months, left last week. Her husband, an army officer, has been transferred md will soon be leaving for Vietmm. Mrs. Lamster made many friends while in Hoke County and certainly did a wonderful job for The Newt-Journal. We appreciate her help during the summer and wish ' the best for her and her husband. A.B. (Skipper) Dickson, Jr. started this week in place of Mrs. Lamster. He finished the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this spring and last week graduated from the National Guard OCS at Fort Bragg. We don't know how long Skipper willbe with us, but we ask the cooperation of the public for him as they have shown all the other reporters as they AMi started on our staff. An interesting visitor and subscriber to The News-Journal was John A. Mclnnis of Yokahoma, Japan on Monday. He is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Luther Mclnnis of Dundarrach and a brother of Daniel Mclnnis. Mr. Mclnnis it in Hoke County for the first time in 16 years. In talking over old times and recalling different people, we asked him about hit schooling. He said he finished high school at Antioch, graduated at Davidson College and received his law degree in Atlanta, Ca. He went to Japan after VJ Day in 1945 and hit been there ever since except when he was on leave. Hit work it with the Legal and Claims Office of the Transportation Command of the U.S. Army. We talked about conditions in Japan and he had the following to say: The demonstrations put on by the Japanese are all Communist inspired and all demonstrators are paid by the Communist Party. The construction of buildings in Japan is at a rapid pace and should continue for a number of years. Because of earthquakes most of the buildings originally built were only two stories high, but now with electronic devices to test the buildings against earthquakes they are being built up to ten stories. The population of Japan ind amount of land causes this upward building.. Japan it the second most properous nation in the world and have their minds only on this phase of life. They have budgeted only one percent of taxes for defense. The people of Japan look to Uncle Sam to protect them from an invader. The fire siren blew and Mr. Mclnnis asked if that was 12 o'clock. Brother Daniel said yes and our conversation ended. It was a pleasant talk and if it hadn't been Monday and the siren maybe this column wouldn't have to stop here. Anyway we hope the future holds the best for John A. Mclnnis as he makes his way back to Japan.
