Major Dan Telfair, husband of Laurie Telfair of The News-Journal staff, spoke to the Raeford Kiwanis Club last Thursday night. He talked about the new look of the army and enlightened most of the Kiwanians on what the Defense Department is trying to do. Major Telfair stated that the military must change as the country changes. The army is just a small part of the country and can't exist if changes are not made. He said that a long haired soldier could fight just as well as one with his head shaved. Officers must be leaders now if the army is to be preserved, he continued. After hearing the talk and after the way Major Telfair summed up his optimism of the new look we think that we will be well protected with the army under his type of leadership. ? ? ?

Body In River Identified Investigation Continues An investigation that spans three counties is continuing is the shooting death of Wyles Glen Jacobs, a 24 year - old Indian from Fairmont, whose body was found in the Lumber River Feb. 27. Sheriff D.M. Barrington said that law enforcement officials in Scotland and Robeson counties have joined the Hoke County department and the State Bureau of Investigation in investigating the death. Jacobs, a Robeson County resident, could have been killed in any of the counties, Barrington said. According to findings of the medical examiners, he had been shot eight times in the right side of his head and once in the chest. His body had been in the river from two weeks to two months, the examiner reported Sheriff Barrington told the Hoke County commissioners last week that he would have counted the death as a drowning accident if he had not had an autopsy performed. He had been advised by Solicitor Jack Thompson to have an autopsy in all cases of unusual death, he said. Jacobs, an employee of the Fairmont Knitting Company, had been reported missing since Jan. 5 when his sister, Shirley Jacobs, last saw him in Lumberton. The body was positively identified from fingerprints by the SB1, Barrington said. Seventh Annual Woman's Club Horse Show Will Be Held March 27 Mrs. Andrews Finalist State Mother Of Year Mrs. J.M. Andrews has been selected as a nominee for the North Carolina State Mother for 1971 by the selection committee of the State Mothers Association of the American Mothers Committee. Mrs. Andrews was nominated for the honor by the Raeford Woman's Club. She will attend Awards Day in Raleigh on March 17. With other nominees, she will assist Mrs. Robert W. Scott in receiving friends and relatives at a coffee hour at the Governor's Mansion and will attend an awards luncheon at the Sir Walter Hotel. Mrs. Andrews has been active in the civic affairs of the county during the last four decades. In discussing her busy role as a mother, homemaker and civic leader, Mrs. Andrews said "Necessity is the mother of invention. 1 never wanted to be just a housewife and there are always opportunities for community work." During the 1930's, Mrs. Andrews served as P.T.A. president. was instrumental in establishing school libraries, directed young people's and PTA groups' recreation and conducted knitting classes for the Red Cross. Later she organized a rural book club and helped with school lunchroom planning and supervising. D.D. Abernethy, county school superintendent, said in a letter endorsing Mrs. Andrew's nomination: "No stranger to public education, since her husband was in school work for forty ./ears, Mrs. Andrews has made valuable contributions to the children of this county through her interests and activities. Some of these activities include helping to plan meals and supervise indigent children, conducting knitting classes on volunteer basis for Red Cross, and sponsoring scholarships for worthy high school students. "Mrs. Andrews is also very interested in public and school libraries. She has helped sponsor funds to replace library books lost in a school fire. She has sponsored summer reading programs for Hoke County children at the county library. She is presently the president of the Hoke County Library Association." Mrs. Andrews has been active in home demonstrations clubs both in the county and at the state level. The Andrews were selected the Hoke County Farm Family of the Month in 1958. She was one of the first representatives from the county to attend and observe at the United Nations and has spoken to numerous school and church groups on Hoke-Army Teamwork In New York Times Hoke County made The New York Times last Sunday with an account by Drew Middlelon of the Army assistance program in Hoke and Anson counties. Middlelon met with a group of local officials at City Hall on March 3. At the meeting were John K. McNeill, T.C. Jones, T.B. Lester, Donald D. Abernethy, Dr. H.H. McLean, Clyde Williams, public relations department of the State Department of Health, LTC. Raphael J. DiNapoli, medical officer in charge of the medical portion of the project at Ft. Bragg, two representatives of the 28th Civil Affairs office, Lt. Gentile and Lt. Joynt and Capt. George R. Reavell, who is working at the health center now. The Times reporter had met previously with Lt. Gen. John J. Tolson and with officials in Anson County. Middlelon discussed the Hoke project for about an hour and visited the county health center. In a five ? column story datelined "Raeford, N.C. March 5" Middlelon wrote: "Kenneth Locklear, a 6 ? year ? old Lumbee Indian boy had never been to see a doctor. Doctors, even the two overworked ones in Hoke County, cost money. "The Locklears have their pride. They did not want to go into debt to a doctor. But Kenneth was badly scalded and people said there was an army doctor working at the Public Health Center in Raeford. "Kenneth was taken to see the doctor, Capt. George R. Reavell, who wears the Green Beret of the Special Forces, and now the child is doing well. "The treatment was part of a program initiated by the 82nd Airborne and the Special Forces, two of the United States Army's toughest units, in the impoverished North Carolina counties of Hoke and Anson. The program is under the direction of Lt. Gen. John J.Tolson, commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps and the commanding general at Ft. Bragg near here." .... Quoting Col. David B. McFadden, Jr., the corps assistant chief - of ? staff for civil affairs, Middlelon wrote: "In the past," he (McFadden) said, " We could train personnel to go through the motions of training on civil affairs and domestic action matters, but there wasn't that much on the job training which we think is vital for units that could be called upon on a moments notice to conduct operations in overseas areas. "But don't get the idea that Nation Building is just for training troops. The concern for assisting underprivileged people right at the doorstep of Ft. Bragg is equally important." Middlelon continued the story "General Tolson and his staff also hope that the program, by emphasizing its positive character, will help restore the Army's reputation, tarnished by the Vietnam war.... "The Army offers its aid cautiously. It avoids programs that would compete with local enterprises employing local labor... "In Hoke County, where two doctors and two clinics serve a population of 16,436, the chief need is for medical assistance. Under the direction of LTC Raphael J. DiNapoli, originally from Brooklyn, the Army sends doctors and medical corpsmen to the county to supplement local physicians. "Dr. Harry H. McLean, the regional medical consultant for the State Board of Health, believes one action by Col. DiNapoli's men was of national significance.

Page II) Smith Explains Court Calendar Clerk of Superior Court Ed Smith this week explained the operation of the calendars for district and superior civil court and said that only an agreement by the attorneys could prevent the calling of a jury for as few as one or two cases in district civil court. Last week Sheriff D.H. Barrington complained of the cost of calling jurors for a court term and then using them for as little as a halt day. He said this was a common practice in district civil court. the superior court sessions are set each July for the entire year by the chief administrator of the courts, Smith said * reyi un r,equest the cases thev wish to be heard to be placed on the court calendar. The calendar is set at least 15 days in advance of the session. Smith said that an entire week of w.pe.u?[ c courl was scheduled for the March 1 term, but the lawyers involved ?? all from Fayetteville - asked to have the case continued after the calendar was set I here was no way that we could have avoided calling a jury anyway," he explained, "even if we had been notified time. All court business must be conducted in open court by the judge and therefore he had to open court in order to continue the cases and dismiss the jury. It couldnt have been done any other way. 3 The 27 jurors present were paid S2I6 by the state for serving the entire day even though they were dismissed. The civil court sessions are set each quarter by Derb Carter, chief district court judge. Smith explained. "We schedule as many as we do in order to try to keep our docket clear We don t have a backing of cases to try like you hear about in other states." District court terms are scheduled for ,5lLApril 5 and June 1 in this quarter Sheriff Barrington suggested that either fewer terms be scheduled or that only every other session be ajury session Smith said that the clerk is required to draw a jury if there is as much as one jury matter on the calendar. Cases are calendared at the request of attorneys, he "The only way we could avoid calling a jury for one or two cases is if the attorneys would agree to continue the jury matters until the next session when there would be more for the jury to consider, he said. bvShl!,h rr'd th"' "epv had taken by his office to reduce the cost of the court s operations.
