Local Chamber Of Commerce Warns Of Deceptive Contests Deceptive contests are being used to lure consumers into buying sewing machines or stereo consoles at inflated prices, the Hoke - Raeford Chamber of Commerce said today in a public warning. Harold Gillis, executive director of the chamber, affiliated through membership with the National Better Bus mess Bureau, said the promotions promise to award winners machines either "free" or at substantial savings. At usual, according to NBBB, there is a gimmick. In some promotions, notices are mailed telling recipients that their "lucky' telephone number or license number entitles them to a "free" sewing machine or stereo. The catch is that they must buy a "service and instruction fslicy" to receive the prize, he value of the merchandise is stated to be far greater than the cost of the policy. NBBB The words of Jesus deeply moved many who heard him. Yet it was more than words that won men to him. For. in addition to the words, there were also the rrughty acts he performed. One such incident was the healing of the centurian's servant (Matthew 8:5-13). We all know the story, yet many of us have probably never considered deeply the implications of this "mighty act" of Jesus. When we look at it carefully, it may have some surprises for us. For one thing, when you think of it, the centurain is a rather unlikely candidate for a healing miracle. He was not a Jew. It is unlikely that he shared any religious beliefs with Jesus. Since he was not a Jew, he could hardly have looked to Jesus as the Missiah. Actually, as a Roman soldier, he was even considered an enemy. An avowed agnostic once came to me saying, "I'm not a Christian and I don't know that 1 believe in God, yet if you would pray for my wife, 1 would deeply appreciate it." he too seemed an unlikely candidate to ask something from God, yet I remembered that it was often people like this to whom Jesus responded with his mighty acts. God will not be limited by the lines which men draw. Secondly, although the man did not share Jewish beliefs, he obviously believed in Jesus. That is, he was convinced that Jesus had the power to perform a mighty act of healing. Whether he was the Messiah, the Son of God, or a prophet was not important to him. The important thing was his trust in Jesus ana his authority. Once again, this may strike us as surprising. Some of us may have the idea that the secret of prayer is to hold tlie "right" theology or know the "right" method. Yet, as Jesus demonstrated repeatedly in (lie gospels, it is more important for a man to respond to Jesus with a personal trust in his authority and power. Third, it was not necessary PHONE 682-7427 126 W. NEW HAMPSHIRE SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. for Jesus to see and touch the centurain's servant. Jesus was quite willing to go to the commander's home, but the Roman realized that Jesus's authority was not limited by time and space. It wu not hocus - pocus or sleipht ? of - hand that Jesus performed in his healing ministry. Jesus, the centurian perceived, was a man who possessed authority over the welfare of men's bodies. He likened Jesus's acts of healing to the military orders which he gave to his Roman subordinates. Even today we find that the power of God is not limited by dimensions of time and space. Thousands of miles may separate someone who is ill or in difficulty and a small group of concerned people who pray for that person, but the power of God may be released just as powerfully as if they were in the same room. Finally, we note that Jesus did not hesitate to heal the servant. He did not say to the centurian, "I'm sorry, you are not worthy to make such a request of me," or "Just accept this sickness, it is Goo's fiunishment for your pagan aith," or "Don't worry, this illness will be good for your servant: it will help him grow spiritually," or "Too bad, it's not Gods will for him to be healed. "Nor, you will find did Jesus ever say these things to anyone who came to him! 1 defy you to find one instance in which Jesus refused healing to anyone. Show me one place in the gospels where he says, "Lord, if it be thy will, heal this person!" CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank all of my many friends for all acts of kindness shown to me and my family during my illness. Mack L. Dockery Husband Charged With Shooting Wife ~ Mrs. Jesse Belle Billinger wu thot in the chest and arm with a small caliber firearm last weekend, Hoke County Sheriff D.M. Barrington said. The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. .Sunday evening ?l John McArn's Club. Robert Arthur Billinger. her husband, was arrested in connection with the shooting and is in jail in lieu of SS.OOO bond, Sheriff Barrington said. Sheriff Barrington and Deputy Sheriff Robert Locklear investigated the incident. A hearing is set for Friday in District Court. Mrs. Billinger was taken to Moore County Memorial Hospital. uyi the "nationally advertised price" of the merchandise is inflated and not one established in the marketplace. Another type of promotion is a simple puzzle that offers a sewing machine as first prize and a "discount certificate" as second prize. NBBB says that nearly every participant receives a certificate, regardless of whether he gave the right answer. As in other contests, the value of the prize is said to be based on "nationally advertised prices," which NBBB says are fictitious and usually inflated several times over the prices at which the sewing machines actually are being sold. A promotion thought to have started on the West Coast sends slot machine symbols, miniature poker hands, or a list of numbers arranged to look like a lottery listing. Thus a "winning hand," "lucky number" or "jackpot" entitles the recipient to a "free" sewing machine or stereo console (provided he buys a "service and instruction policy" or the required number of recbrd albums), a discount certificate, or a combination of both. Sometimes a bottle of perfume and a "free Las Vegas vacation" are thrown in. These "vacations" normally are financed partially by the customer, who pays a $12 or $15 registration fee, and partially by real estate promoters, -who require the recipient to listen to a sales pitch. The "free vacation" amounts to only a discount on the room rental, with the "winner" paying the round ? trip fare, meals, tips and taxes. As in similar promotions, NBBB states, the stated value of the merchandise is inflated, savings are illusory, and the promotions are of sufficient duration to establish a package price, no element of which is tree. Far from giving anything away or providing real discounts, all of these promotions are really misleading methods for selling merchandise to unwitting consumers. Summer Work . For 1970 High school seniors, college students and teachers who want summer jobs can get the latest information from the new 1970 edition of "Summer Employment Directory of the United States" just received by the Hoke County library. Employers throughout the United States and Canada list their 80,000 summer job openings at resorts, summer camps, national parks, summer theatres, ranches and restaurants. Applications are invited now. Camp counseling jobs in the many, varied specialties are again the most plentiful. There is an increased interest over last year in gymnastics, American Red Cross water safety, advanced first aid and water ballet. Office personnel are in demand, as are drivers for ice cream routes and salesmen for direct selling. Nurses are sought at resorts as well as summer camps. Also needed are waiters, waitresses, service help and numerous others - where tips are heavy; designers, technicians, actors,, musicians at summer theatres; special education students at camps for children. Unusual jobs include a teacher for course in black history, female navigator of a 34 ? foot auxiliary sloop, and a consultant to a burro. Most salaries are up S100 to S200 for the summer season. Good cooks can almost name their salary; bus drivers in Chicago make S4.15 an hour. Men In Service Patricia D. McLean, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James E. McLean, Route 1, Raeford, was promoted to private pay grade E ? 2 upon completion of basic training at the Women's Army Corps Center, Ft. McClellan, Ala. During the eight weeks of training she received instruction in Army history and traditions, administrative procedures, military justice, first aid and field training. The promotion was awarded two months earlier than is customary under the Army policy providing incentive for outstanding 9 trainees. The promotion was based on her military hearing, leadership potential and scores attained during the training. She received the promotion Jan. 16. ?DUPREE? Continued from page 1 Dupree said: "One of the main factors of my becoming a candidate forjudge of the District Court in 1966 was the encouragement of my many friends in Hoke and Cumberland counties. "At that time I stated that, if elected, I would serve as best 1 could to administer justice in a fair and impartial manner, always remembering that the individual who stood accused had certain inalienable rights, u well as would the society which 1 would be serving. 1 have tried to fulfill my campaign promises, and hope that my judicial decisions have met the approval of the public at large. "Now I must run on my record and can only say that if 1 urn re- elected 1 shall continue to conduct my office as 1 have in the past. 1 shall appreciate your kind consideration of my candidacy." ?CARTER?
