County Has
990 Veterans
There are 990 veterans in
Hoke County and 531,000 in
North Carolina, according to
Veterans Administration
figures released today. These
figures are based on America's
27.3 million former servicemen
as of the beginning of 1970,
according to W.R. Phillips,
Director of the Winston-Salem
VA Regional Office.
According to the latest
available figures, some 60 Hoke
County and 71,000 North
Carolina veterans were in
service during the Vietnam era
- that is after August 4, 1964.
World War II veterans make
up the largest group of veterans
with 600 from Hoke County
and 283,000 from North
Carolina.
Some 60 Hoke County and
62,000 state veterans saw
military service only between
the Korean Conflict and the
Vietnam Era (February 1,
1955-August 4, 1964), Phillips
said.
Of 26,000 World War I
veterans in North Carolina, 50
are from Hoke County.
Phillips pointed out that
there are some duplications in
these figures since some
veterans served in mure than
one conflict. 4
An estimated 66 of
American's 5,000 Spanish ?
American War veterans live in
North Carolina.
Veterans with questions on
benefits are uiged to contact
their North Carolina VA
Regional Olficc at
Winston-Salem or to see their
local service officer.
Those who served since
February I, 1955, may be
eligible for Gl Bill training.
Those who served since June
27, 1950, may be elibible for
home loans.

Gross retail sales of

55,409.356 while gross retail
sales of food was 54,816.616
for fiscal 1969-70. Automotive
items include car dealers,
service stations gargages,
motorcycles and bicycle

However lax collections on
food amounted to
SI28,523X)I while taxes on

The spoken word is not only
a link for fellowship between
people, it also can destroy
fellowship. Therefore James
gives a rule for using this means
of communication.
James tells us "Be quick to
hear." To hear -- God or our
fellow people ~ requires time.
Love has time to hear, and
such hearing is not a loss of
time. James says, "Be slow to
speak." Because we do not
take time to listen, we speak
immediately, without thought
or consideration. Often we
speak unwisely, and sometimes
a quickly spoken, unwise word
can be like an explosion.
Perhaps James was thinking
this when he said, "Be slow to
anger ." From a quickly spoken
word there is only a small step
to anger. Anger can be used
constructively, but it can easily
get out of hand and do great
harm. Remembering Christ
crucified helps us with anger.
Let us wisely consider our
speech and our reactions to
vhal others say.
PRAYER: Father, lorgive us
hat we are slow to hear and
juick to speak and quick to
>ristle in anger. Teach us today
o listen to Thee
