Miss Alma Ferguson
Retires From School
By SP4 Jack Frear
"I'm delighted. I'm looking
forward to retirement and doing
some of the tilings I haven't had time
to do," said Miss Alma Ferguson
about her June 6 retirement from
Bowley Elementary School as a sixth
grade teacher.
A teacher for 43 years and a sixth
grade teacher at Bowley for the last
10 years, she teaches all subjects
except music, art and physical
education.
"When 1 first came to Ft. Bragg.
24 years ago, there were only two
sixth grade classes for the whole
post. Now there are approximately
15 classes." Miss Ferguson said. She
added," I taught General Seitz' son
Rickie when they were here before."
According to Forrest DeShields,
Bowley Elementary School principal.
"She is, without question, one of the
best teachers I've ever known. She's
dedicated her whole life to children
and she sets a good example for
children to follow."
Miss Ferguson plans now to do
some reading, traveling and volunteer
work. She's a native of Raeford.

Hopeful Heirs Are Warned
Answering a letter in hopes of
being the missing heir to an
inheritance can buy more trouble
than you expect, assistant district
attorney Randy Gregory warned this
week.
Gregory, who specializes in
consumer protection cases for the
judicial district that includes Hoke
and Cumberland counties, was
warning consumers to beware of
solicitation from a firm called
Universal Missing Heirs. Inc. of
Lynbrook. N.Y.
In a form letter, the firm
announces unclaimed bank accounts
listed by surnames and offers to sell a
research report giving details for
establishing claim to the money. In
addition, a finder's fee agreement is
enclosed, by which the firm is
entitled to a percentage of the
money.
"The firm may well be
legitimate." Gregory said, "but
people may be buying more trouble
than it appears on the surface. They
don't realize that they may have to
go into court to establish their claim
to any inheritance."
"I'd like to discourage people
from sending any money." Gregory
said. He said the state attorney
general's office was expected to 3ct
against the firm this week.

New Books In The Library:
AMERICAN HERITAGE
magazine
Where have we been going for 200
years'! What did we do on this long
road of progress? What has been
discarded or outpown along a very
adventurious journey into the
future? We who live in the now are
still part of the future, but for an
interesting backward look ask to
borrow our American Heritage
magazines. The pictures are great, the
articles are not too long, just plain
good readable material. We have
issues dating back to 1953. Look,
laugh and enjoy for tomorrow - we
make the past and hopefully with a
backward glance, someone will smile.
American Heritage magazine; ask tor
it!
We have something special for the
young folks and parents to share
together.

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
MYSTERY - SOLVED by Lawrence
David Kusche
On the afternoon of December 5,
1945, five Navy Avenger torpedo
bombers took off from Fort
Lauderdale Naval Air Station on a
short routine flight. Less than two
hours later the flight leader radioed
the control tower that they were lost
and unable to tell in which direction
they were flying. As communications
faded, a rescue plane was sent out to
the patrol's last estimated position. It
was never heard from again. A vast
search continued for days, but no
trace of the six aircraft was ever
found. They had vanished in the
Bermuda Triangle.
Mr. Kusche's exhaustive research
had an unexpected result - it solved
the mystery. The evidence is
presented here, in its original form
wherever possible, along with the
stories of the incidents as they have
been told over the years. The reader
can thus unravel the mystery for
himself.
JUST MAHAL1A. BABY by
Laurrainc Goreau
Here is "the real book" of the
incredible Mahalia Jackson as
pledged to her by her close friend,
Laurraine Goreau. before her death.
Rich in poetic condensation. and
vivid imagery, it reaches back to
recreate an era and a way of life that
no longer exist; it surfaces hidden
folk lore and cultural patterns; it
delves into Voodoo and a secret
psychic world. It shows you jazz at
its roots when' it was "jass." the
Devil's temptation; first-hand, it gives
you the surprising sociological
significances of the whole gospel
movement . . . but most of all, it
takes you with a misshapen mote on
a forgotten scrap of river-land as
Mahalia pushes, fights, signs her way
to a personage of unique stature
among Americans to the world's
peoples, revered by hundreds of
thousands as a symbol of utter
integrity, the bearer of God's tidings.
She sang with literal faith in the path
of salvation - yet waged a hidden
struggle for health and elusive
happiness as Halie, "famous through
disappointments."
