an interview room. lab. general offices, and a new dental office.
The project is being financed totally with federal Revenue Sharing
funds, according to the acting county manager.
Patrol Cars
Bids on two new patrol cars for the Sheriffs Department were
awarded to Raeford Auto Co. The board decided at its last meeting
after only one bid had been received, to seek bids outside the county
in an attempt to get a competitive price. In all. three bids were
opened.
Eleven thousand dollars was budgeted for the cars, and the
Raeford Auto Co. bid was well within the budget, at $10,400. That
price included some extras -- 400 cubic inch engines and tinted glass.
Mobile Home Ordinance
A proposed ordinance governing mobile home parks and a zoning
ordinance were presented to the county commissioners Tuesday
morning by Bill Altman. county housing inspector. No action was
taken on the proposed regulations. The board will consider these
proposals at a future meeting.
Altman told the board that some changes had been made in the
ordinances based on comments made at various public meetings.
The county attorney advised the board to make the regulations
effective at least three months after passage in order to give people
the chance to become familiar with them.
? Female Prisoners
State law now requires a matron to be on duty when females are
housed in county jails, and in order to avoid this additional expense.
. the Hoke Board of Commissioners authorized the sheriff Tuesday to
seek a contract with Cumberland County to house females that
might be arrested here.
Sheriff D.M. Barrington told the board he thought Cumberland
County would be willing to house Hoke's female prisoners for a daily
fee. He said that , in the past, his department has not processed that
many women, and he did not feel that the situation here warranted
hiring a full time matron.
The board approved requests by the sheriff for comprehensive
liability insurance for his department and for an additional $990 in
the department's uniform budget.
The board approved a minimum wage adjustment for the county's
Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) employees.
Appreciation
The board also approved a resolution of appreciation for the late
T.B. Lester. It reads as follows:
Whereas Thomas Benton Lester. Jr.. served as County Manager
and Accountant for the County of Hoke from February 13, 1%1
until his death on the 8th of November. 1977.
And whereas by his patient and quiet demeanor and by his
discerning and understanding way. he found favor with all those
with whom he came into contact, especially the citizens of Hoke
County whom he faithfully served, and his fellow County employees.
And whereas Thomas Benton Lester. Jr.. served Hoke County
well, giving himself unreservedly, putting the work of the County
ahead<of his individual aims and goals.
Now therefore the Board of Commissioners of Hoke County in
Grateful recognition of his service rendered to the County of Hoke,
^ind in grateful recognition of his devoted and loyal friendship to
each member of this Board does:
1. Record with sorrow the passing of Thomas Benton Lester. Jr..
on the 8th day of November. 1977.
2. Express heartfelt thanks for the loyal and devoted service
rendered by Thomas Benton Lester. Jr.
3. Order that this Resolution be made a permanent part ot the
public records of Hoke County.
4. Direct that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to Mrs.
Thomas Benton Lester. Jr.. his widow, and to Mrs. Andrea Lester
Scarborough, his daughter.

Review
(Continued from Page 1 )
Woody Coley, and Bruce Buckley.
T.K. Tolar joined the local
Highway Patrol in April. New city
maps became available at the
Chamber of Commerce, and the
South Hoke Community Center
began serving hot meals to senior
citizens as part of the county's
nutrition program.
Amid growing protests from
parents and students, the board of
education in May transferred Allen
Edwards to Upchurch Junior High
and an organized group. Citizens in
Support of Education in Hoke
County, sprang into existence to
oppose the board's actions.
The Sandhills Mental Health
Center outlined to county commis
sioners plans to establish a separate
facility in Hoke County.
Also in May, the continuing
controversy over the local school
situation spawned the Hoke County
Parent and Teachers Association.
Hector MacLean, chairman and
chief executive of Southern Nation
al Bank, spoke at the annual
Raeford-Hoke Chamber of Com
merce banquet.
After deliberating two and a half
hours, a Hoke County jury found
Allen Dwain Smith. Jr. not guilty of
the killing and robber)- of Robert L.
Brooks at his Rockfish store, i
Following Smith's acquittal, the |
District Attorney's office formally
dismissed charges against two other
men who had also been charged in
the murder.
The 82nd Airborne Band gave a
concert on the lawn of the Presby
terian Church here in May. And
the Lions Club Annual Scholarship
Award, named the Clyde F. Knox
Scholarship, was presented in June
to Marilyn Gay Barnes, a nursing
student at UNC-Charlotte.
For lack of a second, a motion to
leave Elwood Ave. as a one-way
street died in June at a city council
meeting. Paul Rose, owner of a
Hying school at Raeford Municipal
Airport, filed suit against the city in
June over ownership of a hangar at
the field. And that same month,
the city council adopted a budget
that brought a two cent increase to
taxpayers. Also in June. Dayna
Pate resigned as manager of the
chamber of commerce.
(Next week the year in review
concludes with the last six months
of 1977.)
Around Town
(Continued from Page 1 )
it took a while for her strength to
return to her.
Now this may be a joke or prank
to some people, but to this writer it
is not. As 1 stated last week people
should sign their names to what
they write and give their name
when calling on the phone. A
telephone is not to be used in this
manner and if you know of people
using them for this purpose, you
should turn their names into law
enforcement officers or the tele
phone company.
So you see, everyone is not
wanting everyone else to have a
Happy New Year.
* * *
The old year is gone and for me
and my family 1977 was a good
year. We had some problems but
all in all it was a good year. Let's
hope 1978 will be good for all of us.
