Journalism Teacher Yields 'Foundation'
By Mke Steadman
"I would like to have a paper that
wipuld be judged as good to All -
American in competition before the
year is out," said Mrs. Jeannie
Caviness, journalism teacher and
paper advisor for Hoke High School.
The journalism course and the
school paper called "BUCK TIMES"
are new additions to Hoke High and
are listed in the academic catogory
for juniors and seniors to expand
themselves before graduating,
according to C. Allen Edwards,
principal of Hoke High School.
Mrs. Caviness, a recent graduate of
Appalachian State University, is also
new to Hoke High and teaches
English along with journalism.
She said the journalism class is
divided into three groups consisting
of features, sports, and clubs.
"The features section of the paper
Read Matthew 5:23-26
* I desire then that in every place
the men should pray, lifting holy
hands without-anger or quarreling. (1
Timothy 2:8, RSV)
* In his devotional classic, A Serious
Call to a Devout and Holy Life,
William Law wrote, "There is
nothing that makes us love a man so
much as praying for him."
It is not easy in our day to
acknowledge some people as brothers
and sisters, much less to love them. It
has never been easy. The letters of
Paul indicate that he had experienced
the same troubles that Jesus
experienced - the bitter criticism and
the hostile rejection of the very
people who should have been his
staunchest supporters, the officers of
the organization.
Both the Old and New Testaments
require that prayer to God be offered
out of a right relationship wiht God
and other people. Jesus, as always,
drove to the vital core of the trouble
when He told us to go be reconciled
to our brother who has something
against us before we make our gift at
the altar.
PRAYER: O God, who created us
in Your image, remind us today that
the world has seldom tried to solve
its problems in the spirit of love.
Give us the courage today to seek
reconciliation, wherever we find need
and opportunity. In Jesus' name.
Amen.
takes the place of the regular news in
most cases, since news in a monthly
school paper is old by the time it is
printed," she said.
She said that sports events and
club meetings are reviewed by the
other two groups and interviews with
players and club officers were
sometimes given.
"The people in each group stage
interviews, attend meetings, and talk
to advisors. Stories are written from
this activity and then a meeting is
held for each group where the stories
are criticized, and constructive
suggestions are made.
"The stories are revised and
corrected and then turned in to me
for final approval.
'Then they are sent back to the
groups where headlines are applied
and each story is taken by its writer
and typed," said Mrs. Caviness.
"I would like to give the students
a good foundation," she said.
Volume One of "BUCK TIMES"
was published last week and Mrs.
Caviness said that she was pleased
with the enthusiasm and effort of the
students.
"1 was very pleased with the effort
of the students as we had no
problems with getting the stories in
on time and having enough copy for
the paper," site said.
She indicated that the only
problem was typing the paper, since
most of the students have not had
typing, but this was being solved by
the addition of a few typewriters and
help from the typing classes.
"As the course expands, 1 hope to
have teachers recommend the best
students to work on the paper and
maybe require typing as a step
needed for work in journalism," she
said.
"Many students are taking typing
now, and I hope by the end of the
year, we will be able to do a good
paper on our own," Mrs. Caviness
said.
Edwards said the course was
installed as an academic addition for
juniors and seniors, but he hoped it
would grow and would be a practical
course.
"I'm anticipating a growing
newspaper, and I hope that it will
grow to the extent of promoting
interest in journalism beyond the
high school level.
"We hope we can expand it to the
point that it will be of interest to
under-classmen as well as juniors and
seniors," he said.
"Once we get the newspaper
growing, we hope to develop
prerequisites for the journalism
course," he said.
CONSULTATION - Students consult journalism teacher Mrs. Jcannie Cavincss
about an article they have been working on. The class has already published
their first paper.
More Hoke County Money
From Government Sources
To what extent do Hoke County
residents look to Washington and to
their state and local governments
for their wherewithal? What
proportion of their income comes
from such sources?
Locally and everywhere else across
the country, according to recent
studies, people are getting a larger
part of their income from
government than ever before.
It is estimated that 28 cents out of
every dollar received by Hoke
County residents comes to them in
the form of government checks
covering wages and social benefits.
Washington provides 17 cents of it
and the state and local governments,
11 cents.
The ratio runs considerably higher
in some areas of the nation, for
various reasons, than in others. It is
highest, 62 percent, in the District of
Columbia, due to the large number
of Federal employees there. It is
lowest in Connecticut, 22 percent.
Nationally, 29 percent of income
now comes from government
sources, compared with 24 percent in
1971.
The figures are based upon state -
by ? state analyses, made by the
Department of Labor, the Tax
Foundation and others.
In Hoke County, the figures
indicate, approximately SI2,212.000
of net personal income came via
government checks in the past year.
Included in this total were wages
and salaries to public employees,
pensions, unemployment insurance,
social security, food stamps, welfare
payments, health benefits and the
like.
Overall, more than S365 billion a
year is being paid out to individuals
by Federal and local governments in
wages and social benefits. With one
out of every five jobholders now on a
government payroll, close to half
that sum is for wages and salaries.
The rest is going to retired and
disabled men and women, to
veterans, to the enemployed and to
others in need.
It is estimated that about 1 /7th of
all income in the United States
represents social benefits to persons
in these groups.
The Tax Foundation and others
are disturbed by the rising role of
government in the lives of people
through these mandated and
"relatively uncontrollable"
commitments.
