Hoke Gets $280,000, Special Ed. Program The Hoke County Schools have received a grant of 5280,076 under part A of Title I, Elementary and Secondary Education act, according to state school superintendent Craig Phillips. This grant will support trspeciah education programs duriitg the school year 1975-76. According to Harold Webb, deputy assistant superintendent for compensatory education for the State Education Agency, "Title I provides funds to local education agencies for use in helping to break the cycle of poverty through equalization of educational opportunity. These funds must be used to expand and improve education programs contributing to the special needs of educationally deprived children." Nearly all North Carolina school units have used Title 1 funds to support special reading programs. Seventy-eight units have Title I kindergartens, and 36 units have special programs in mathematics. One unit has started an experimental program in prekindergarten for 4-ycar-olds. For fiscal 1976 North Carolina has been granted a total of $48,615,109 in Title I Part A funds. This is slightly more, statewide, than the total of $47,964,045 received during the 1974-75 school year. oke ighlights by Btrrf Mis The NHS (National Honor Society) held an assembly for all seniors, juniors, and sophmores Wednesday, September 17, to tap nineteen new members from the senior and junior classes for admission into the 1975-1976 NHS. Dwan Upchurch, president, was in charge of the assembly at which time she read the rules and requirements for becoming eligible for membership into the NHS and recognized the newly elected officers for this year. Robin Holland, secretary, led everyone in prayer followed by Charlotta King, vice-president, who introduced the members already in the NHS and its advisor; Mrs. Sarah Baucom. The main requirement for membership is a 90 or above average and the nineteen new members who were presented a red carnation when tapped, are; Martha Ann Wood, Joanna Best, Knox Matthews, Gloria Smith, Agnes Wilkes, Frank Kicklighter, Debra Mays, Helena Rogers, Ronald Kirkley, Barry Ellis, Ronnie Ellis, Judy Cothran, Susan Townsend, Kathy Hawkins, Wally Jordan, Lori Niven, Mike Peckham, Susan Seagroves, and Kenneth Barnes. Initiations will be in a few weeks and I know everyone is looking forward to that day,(except the new members!). The NHS isn't the only club that gets to have a little fun during school. The Key Club got a headstart on the NHS by initiating its new members on Wednesday, September 24. During lunch, which was the 'main initiating' time, all you could see were brooms, mops, buckets, and boots, not to memtion shaving lather flying in every direction, plus an occasional wad of rfiewing tobacco every now and then. All fifteen new members got a pretty fair 'initiating', but 1 know all they were thinking about were the new people they would be able to 'get' next year when they would be giving the initiations instead of getting them. The SAE met last week to elect officers and discuss plans for the upcoming year. Hope Williams, president, who was elected at the last meeting was in charge of this meeting. Barbara McCall was elected as secretary, and Steve Morgan was elected as vice-president by acclamation. Dues for this year are $2.00. Plans for the 1975-1976 SAE are to send representatives to the Board of Education meetings every month in groups of two and four, for the purpose of observing the how and why process of education. Also planned is to send a group of students on a tour of North Carolina State University either this fall or in the spring, and attend the SAE District Convention at Fayetteville State University in October. The purpose of this convention is to elect new district officers, discuss district and state-wide activities and enter various contests involved with the SAE. Annuals go on sale this week.

The Varsity or Junior Varisty Bucks didn't have a ballgame this past week and are preparing to meet Sanford on Thursday, September 25 for the JV and Friday, September 26 for the Varsity team.

FmHA Loans Disaster Credit Help Farmers who suffer property damage or severe production loss from natural disasters now may be eligible fqr an expanded program of cridit assistance from the Farmers Home Administration, the rural credit service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, William E. Clark, county supervisor of FmHA for Hoke County said. FmHA emergency loans to eligible farmers, ranchers and aquaculture operators are to enable them to return to their normal operations after having sustained losses resulting from natural disasters. Individual borrowers must be unable to obtain credit from other usual sources to qualify for FmHA assistance. Long and intermediate term loans may be made for reorganizing the operation to make it more effective. Also, annual emergency loans may be made each year for up to five years following a natural disaster to permit the borrower to restore his operation and return to usual credit sources for operating funds. The President may declare a major disaster or an emergency area, authorizing FmHA to make emergency loans available. In addition, the Secretary of Agriculture may designate certain areas as eligible for emergency assistance because of natural disaster upon a request from the governor followed by a county survey to assess damage and estimate dollar loss. FmHA state directors may make limited designations when fewer than 25 farmers, ranchers, or aquaculture operators are affected by disaster in a particular county. State directors can make the credit available at the request of state governors, local governing bodies, or Indian tribal councils. Interest rates and repayment periods for loans made following disasters vary according to loan purposes. Loans for amounts in excess of actual losses for farm real estate purposes and for operating purposes will be made at the rate of interest prevailing in the private market for comparable long term and intermediate credit. These rates, set semi-annually, ate nine percent for operating purposes and eight and three fourths percent for real estate purposes. Loans for real estate purposes must be repaid within 40 years, most loans for operating purposes may be for up to seven years with a possible five year extension, and production loans will normally mature in one year. Each person applying for credit will be given equal consideration without regard to race, creed, color, marital status or national origin. Two can ride cheaper than one. Farmers, ranchers, or aquaculture operators in areas eligible for assistance who suffer losses as a result of a natural disaster should contact the office of Farmers Home Administration in the Post Office building 875-2645 for further information.
