block grant for fiscal year 1976 with
the funds to be used for three
projects; construction of a neigh
borhood center in South Hoke,
extension of water and sewer to
North Raeford neighborhoods and
rehabilitation of sub-standard
homes in the North Raeford
neighborhoods.
Altman said that some persons in
the audience became confused
about this year's grant and believed
the meeting was to discuss how to
spend these funds. The misunder
standing was cleared up.
The deadline for submitting the
pre-application for 1977 funds is
Jan. 7. Any projects which are
approved by HUD must be com
pleted within two years of funding.
Altman said he expected the
Tuesday night meeting would
narrow down the choices of possible
projects and the NER planners and
officials here would then reach a
decision on what to apply for.
In Memory of my Husband
at Christmas
Howard J. Taylor
To some you may be forgotten
To others, just off the path you
travel
But for those who loved and lost
you
Your memory will always last.
A million times I have needed you
A million times I have cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
^No one else can fill.
v
It broke my heart to loose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
The day Go^ took "Jrou* home.

forward to the last semester term
paper with zest!
Our taxpayers might be in
terested in the fact that our heating
system isn't costing nearly what
some of the previously built county
buildings did at first. We are real
proud of this fact.
Sometimes we gain and some
times we lose a staff member.
Added and very welcome is Mar
verra McAllister. Marverra has
finished three years at North
Carolina Central University in
Durham and is working awhile
before she resumes her studies in
Human Development and Family
Relations. She has meant much in
helping us through our transition
period.
Virginia White is also working
with us. Virginia is married and
has one son, 15 months old. She is
busy helping with all phases of
library work.
There is always lots to do in a
library, and all of us are keeping
pretty busy.

Court Decision Clarified
On Privately Owned Phones
R.I. Flye, district commerical
manager for Carolina Telephone,
said that the Supreme Court
decision announced last week
concerning telephone inter
connection has caused confusion
among many telephone customers.
Flye emphasized that the rules
covering the connection of privately
owned telephones have not changed
as a result of the Supreme Court
decision.
Customer - owned telephones
may be connected to the network,
but only with a protective coupling
device furnished by the telephone
company.
Direct connection of telephones
is still not permitted.
Flye concluded that Carolina
Telephone is prepared and willing
to comply with rules regulating
customer owned equipment, if and
when they do change.
Telephone customers with
questions about owning their own
equipment should contact the local
telephone business office.

University to complete his B.A. in
sociology.
Alligood then worked for Equi
table Life Insurance for a year and
a half and at Belk's for three years
as divisional sales manager.
The Alligood family, Margaret
Ann, a teacher at Guy's Schools,
Inc., and Blair, three, hope to
relocate to Hoke County in the near
future. The Alligoods are expecting
another family addition to arrive
Aug. 2.
Working as court counselor since
Nov. 17, Alligood noted that he is
impressed at how closely the
sheriffs department, police depart
ment and the school system work to
help area youth.
"They are doing a super job.
That is really one of the advantages
of living in a town the size of
Raeford. There is such a good
working relationship to help solve
problems outside the court. I'm
more than encouraged by the
response I'm getting from these
people," he said.
Alligood's experience with young
people includes work with the
Young Churchmen at St. John's
Episcopal Church in Fayetteville.
He is also superintendant of the
Sunday School program there and
has recently been elected to the
vestry.
