Bond was set at jJ ,UUU. ? ?award? Continued from page 1 newspapers. This, of course, is an unavoidable situation due to daily newspapers, television and radio news, i m iud8'n8 the entries. I looked for hard news content with a good feature or second day approach In general, 1 thought the bulk of the entries were readable and had definite value. "My selection was based on what I feel was good writing and reporting timely subjects and value to a community." First place went to Nita Hilliard of the Watauga Democrat. Clara Cartrette of The News Reporter in Whiteville won second and Terry Hammond Smith of The Cary News won third. ?NIB LOCK? Continued from page I takes a calm view. "Some people get very defensive about welfare cheating," he aaid. "But 1 don't. I figure that we're dealing with some sharp minds and if they want to cheat, we're not going to catch everyone of them. After all, some people make a career of living illegally." Ralph W. Barnhart Chairman, Hoke County Board of Commissioners Raeford, North Carolina May 8, 1975 ?CHAMPS? Continued from page 1 event at each sectional could compete in the state meet. "And this is the best team we've ever had," Colston said. "But we were pressed in the sectional and we were pressed here. Lots of schools are having their best teams ever." "The Shea girl from Raleigh, just a freshman, ran the 880 in a tremendous time. She is a national AAU cross country champion and was second in the Junior Olympics in Lincoln last year. Chruickshank of LeJeune was in Lincoln last year too." "There have always been good women athletes here, and now it's just a matter of finding them," Colston said. However, Colston said, it was more than just coaches suddenly noticing women athletes. "It's an idea whose time has come, to give women more of the action. But it's not just coaches looking for the women athletes. It's providing the motivation, showing them that they 11 .get something for the effort." Colston disclaimed credit for his winning teams, who have led the state in girls' track for four years. "The big thing is having the people there. If you have good athletes, like we have had, then you've got to do well." About 50 girls each year have come out for track, Colston said. Some of them have put unusual effort into the sport. "Geraldine Murray worked from 5 to 12 every night at the mill, came to school every day and ran track in the afternoon," Colston said. "It takes a lot to do that." Building the team equipment has been slow. Track is about as expensive as basketball, he estimates, and the team began with old girls' basketball uniforms. By alternating purchases each year, they have accumulated about five dozen sweatsuits and three dozen running suits. They try to buy a set of hurdles a year, which are shared with the boys' team, Colston said, and they've added foam for the high nump now. The state meet Friday ended the high school track careers for several of the girls. Kathy Little, Geraldine Murray, Sandra Oxendine, Angela Beasley, Sheila McNeill and Jerald Bratcher will be graduating. For others, the state meet was another stepping stone. McMillan, Elizabeth Campbell and Angela Davis will try for Junior Olympic places this summer and McMillan, hoping for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team, will be trying for national meets, Colston said. The Hoke team this year was composed of Minnie McPhatter, high jump, 880; Geraldine Murray, 440, 880 relay, mile relay; Deborah McCall, 60 and 110-yard low hurdles; Lula Beatty, 60-110 yard low hurdles; Kathy Little, 880 relay, 440, high jump; Kathy McMillan, 100, 220, long jump, 880 relay; Angela Davis, discus, shot put; Elizabeth Campbell, 100, 440 relay; Gertrude McNeill, 440 relay; Tondea Jackson, 440 relay and Madelyn Miller, ?40 and 880 relay, 220 and long jump. About 500 spectators paid to see the meet here in which 105 girls from 42 schools competed.

Federal Funds Available To Fight Fire Rural volunteer fire departments in North Carolina will be able to receive some federal financial help, thanks to the U.S. Congress, a pilot project as part of the Rural Development Act of 1972. Under the provisions of the program, only volunteer fire departments that serve rural areas or communities of less than 10,000 populations are eligible to receive the funds. The money can be used to organize, equip, and train local volunteer fire departments, but the departments must be able to provide at least 50% of the costs. In North Carolina, empharis will be on obtaining suppression equipment, such as communications (radio), slip-on pumps, backpack pumps or other types of fire suppression equipment. Equal consideration will be given to the need for both structural and grass or brush type equipment. The program is being handled in North Carolina by the Division of Forest Resources, Department of Natural and Economic Resources. Crumpler Completes Eye Removal Class G. Franklin Crumpler of Raeford was one of about 28 trainees who completed a course in eye enucleation and sterile technique at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem. Graduates of the course will be able to perform the removal of eyes from deceased persons during the critical four hour period following death, the North Carolina Eye and Human Tissue Bank said.
