M. Wood W. Colcy
Mother*, when shopping, if you put
the groceries on the floor in the rear of
the car, and let your youngster sit or
stand alongside you on the front seat,
you may be protecting your groceries
better than your child in case of ?
sudden stop. An unrestrained child
can pitch forward against the dash
board or windshield with serious in
jury. A safety harness vest, anchored
firmly to the car structure, offers the
best protection for a small child, and
allows him to sit, stand, or sleep.
A safety expert warns that "over 10%
of all deaths of children under 4
result from auto crashes". Proper
safety harnesses would save many.
We wish you good health

Out Of Bounds
By Mike Steadnian
The Hoke High baseball team will begin competition tonight (Thursday) at 8
P.M. at Richmond County as they will try to win the Pete tlogan Invitational
Tournament which will last through Saturday.
The first day pairings have Sanford and Richmond County starting off the
festivities, Lumberton taking on Northern Nasli in the second game. Scotland
and Bowman facing each other in the third game, and Hoke and Rocky Mount
in the final game of the opening round.
The Rocky Mount team is supposed to be one of the best teams in the state
again this year, and there is no doubl that the other competition stands up to
par. ,
The Bucks will go into the tournament with a 104 overall record and a 4-3
conference record.
The Upchurch baseball team has an unblemished 4-0 record so far this
season. The Eagles' pitching has held their own against other competition to
help the Eagles to very impressive wins.
This should bring a smile to Coach Grier's face as he is always looking to the
future.
If this is an indication of what is to come, the future certainly looks bright.
The Division IV. 4-A Conference (Southeastern) resembles the ACC
basketball season of this past year as far as the balance aspect is concerned.
The standings arc as tight as a drum and probably won't loosen up until the
last game is played.
For instance. Richmond County, the pre-season favorite for the conference
title, has already lost one conference game to a tough Sanford Central team,
who have been beaten by Hoke, who were trounced by Richmond County.
Does that sound familiar'.'
With that kind of balance, the conference could really go to anyone.
The Pete Hogan Tournament will feature the top eight teams in the state,
according to Coach Terry Grier. If that is the case, the Southeastern conference
must be tough because six of the eight teams in the tournament arc in it.
It is a good chance that a member of the Southeastern conference will come
out a victor in the tournament.
The time has come for baseball on television to earn a rating. The game that
was shown Monday night could have been rated X because of the language used
by the catchers of the respective teams.
This came about because the umpire at home plate was wearing a
microphone.
The funny thing about the whole situation was to hear the announcers'
reactions to the comments.
A quick change of subject works every time!
