Males Age 18
Must Register
"All young men who reach age 18
during 1975 should plan on making
their first contact with Selective
Service," Sam C. Morris, Chairman of
Hoke County Local Board No. 48,
announced today.
"Even though we are not currently
drafting for military service," Morris
said, "registering with Selective Service
is still compulsory for all young men at
age 18, so each young man should make
certain that he complies with the law by
registering,"
Chairman Morris stated that a young
man has 60 days in which to register -
30 days before his 18th birthday and 30
days after. "This should provide
adequate time for an 18-year-old or a
nehr-1 8-year-old to register," the
chairman added, "and his timely
registration will prevent any problems
that might otherwise result from a late
registration."
Morris stated that 18-year-old young
men in Hoke County who have not yet
registered may do so at the Selective
Service Area Office, 111 Lamon St.,
Fayetteville. Students should see their
principal or guidance counselor at Hoke
High.

112 HARRIS AVE. RAEFORO, N. C
Investigation Ends In Fire
The investigation of a trailer fire in
which a Bowmore man died Jan. 25 has
ended with firemen stOI puzzled about
the cause of the blaze.
"I've walked around that trailer and
sniffed dirt and tasted dirt but I can't
find anything," North Raeford Fire
Department chief George Baker said.
Samuel Gates, 34, was found on the
bedroom floor by North Raeford
firemen who answered an alarm turned
in at 2:30 a.m. on the 25th by a
neighbor, Hattie Morris.
'This is the wierdest thing I've run
into in a long time," he said.
Baker said several aspects of the case
were unusual:
--Gates, who lived alone, was
dressed in street clothing although it
was early morning.
- -The trailer was burned more
thoroughly on both ends, possibly
indicating lhat the fire started in both
ends.
- There was no heat or electricity in
the trailer from which a fire could start.
?Gates had had another trader
destroyed earlier when a power line
connected to a nearby pole was blown
down during a windstorm. He was not
injured in that fire.
According to a telephone report of
the autopsy. Gates died of smoke
inhalation. Sheriff D.M. Barrington said.
Baker said that an opening found tn
Gates neck that had appeared to have
been a wound was caused instead by the
intense heat of the fire, according to the
autopsy.
Funeral services for Gates, were held
Jan. 2l) at Nazareth Baptist C hurch in
Wagram by the Rev. S.E. Fairley. Burial
was in Island Grove Cemetery.
Gates is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Blanche Purcell Gates: his mother. Mrs.
Odessa Gates; three sisters, Mrs. Lizzie
Marian. Mrs. Eva Harrigan and Miss
Jacqueline Gates; three brothers,
F.verette Gates, Hubert Gates and
Clarence Gates.
