MORRIS The warm weather that has been staying around this winter finally gave way to cold weather Sunday morning. The temperature didn't get above 20 degrees Sunday and it was very cold all day Monday. It was a record cold for most of the state and the ski slopes should have had a good weekend. The mercury is supposed to rise to the middle 60's by Wednesday afternoon. So all you golfers get ready for the course on Wednesday. The golf committee of Arabia Golf Club announces that a Valentine tournament will be held at the course on the weekend of February 12 and 13. According to Raz Autry, chairman, it will be a two ball tournament, and the price will be $10.00 per team. Also he stated that no two members would be allowed to play together. So all golfers who like to play tournaments, return your cards early so that the committee can complete plans. Burlington Worsted will start their United Fund drive this week. The solicitors are pictured in an ad in another section of the paper. We know, that as usual, the workers at Burlington at Burlington will go all out on the drive. Anyone who hasn't contributed or any firm that still has cards to be turned in, please do so as soon as possible. Donations may be sent to United Fund, P. O. Box 5S0, Raeford, N. C. The Supreme Court has thrown out the law that bans single - shot voting. This paper has contended ail along that the law was unconstitutional. The law was that a person must vote for five if five members were on the ticket. This forces a person to vote for someone whom they may not want to vote for. Rep. Neil' McFadyen had 'he law repealed for Hoke County two years ago. Now all counties in the state will be able to single shot vote if they so desire. If is not the big things that happen in district court, but the little things, that bring forth publicity. The offer of Judge Joe Dupree to a defendant to either gets a haircut or pay S10 fine has not only made the front pages of daily papers, but has brought forth a strong editorial in Tuesday's News and Observer. We suspect that Judge Dupree would now feel that long Hair could get a judge in hot water, even if it was on someone else's head. Rep. McFadyen Files For House Seat Rep. Neil L. McFadyen filed for re - election Wednesday to the State House of Representatives. He is seeking his seventh term. McFadyen is the fust candidate to announce in this district. After reapportionment by the state legislature last year, the district lost one seat in the General Assembly. Representatives presently serving in addition to McFadyen are Mrs. Mary Odom, Joy J. Johnson and Gus Sepros. In announcing his candidacy, Rep. McFadyen said the key to his platform would be service. "1 make a promise to work for programs and laws that will be of the most benefit to this district and to the state," he said. 'The only deal I will make is with all the people, to represent ' the people of this district to the very best of my ability."

About 75 persons, mostly from the Hillcrest residential area, attended a public hearing in the courtroom at which the Rev. Donald Ned Hicks explained his proposal and answered questions about the home. After the meeting, the Rev. Mr. Hicks told reporters he planned to tile suit against the zoning board to recover the money spent in renovation before he was informed he must obtain a permit. He said he had decided before the meeting that, regardless of the outcome, he would seek another location for the home. In response to questions from members ? of the board and from the audience, the Rev. Mr. Hicks outlined his plans for the rehabilitation home. He planned it as a place of adjustment from prison life to outside society, he said. Residents of the home would be from 10 to 18 connected felons mostly under 30 who had no homes or families, and who were cither on parole or who had served their complete sentence They would be supervised by four of five full time staff members who would live at the home, he said.

Headquarters of the school are located on Buchan farm in Qucwhifflc, he told the crowd at the hearing. "These men are not going to stay in prison for the rest of their lives," he told the crowd. "With or without a home like this, some day they arc going to come out. "If they come out with no job and no home, with only S10 and a suit of clothes, what chance do thev have?" The home was to be located in the old Raeford Nursing Home on 401 A. The Rev. Mr. Hicks had obtained an option to buy the property and had begun renovations before he was notified that he must get a permit to improve the (See HICKS. Page 7) Rose Opens Campaign For 7th District Seat Charles l?. Rose, III, Faveltevrlle attorney, filed for Congress from the Seventh District last Friday and began his campaign Saturday with a rally at the Downtowner in Fayetteville. Rose said "I am a candidate for Congress because 1 believe southeastern North Carolina is a great place to live and a fine place to raise your family and I want to see it stay that way." In outlining the problems of the district. Rose said "The farmer is still the biggest part of our economy in this district. It costs the farmer more today to produce the crops that bring the same prices of ten years ago, and he is misunderstood by the consuming public who wrongfully thinks the farmer has profited with the steady increase in food prices. "Our schools have been the scene of tumult as the federal courts have made them the frontiers of social change. "Our senior citizens continue their search for health and security and the right to live their golden years in peace. "Our young continue their search for new and meaningful jobs in industry." Rose said that he would develop a staff to work with the people in the district. This would include a farmer who would circulate throughout the district gathering information and staff members to work directly with cities and towns and to promote industry. "I will have staff members who car. give direct assistance to cities and towns and governmental agencies and industry within our district. I pledge my support and the energies of my staff to help local school administrators achieve their goals in education,v Rose said he would open district offices to help all the people with problems that can be solved at the federal level. In announcing his candidacy, Rose is making his second bid for Congress. He was defeated two years ago in the CHARLES G ROSE III primary by incumbent Alton Lennon, who is not seeking re ? election this year. Rose served as chief district court prosecutor for Cumberland and Hoke counties for 3'/4 years and is a past president of the state Young Democratic Clubs.
