.Test Drive Results
In Loss Of Car
The folks out at Hoke Auto were
|h in for a surprise last Wednesday
when a fellow came in for a test
drive, jumped behind the wheel of a
car priced at 57,900, and drove off,
never to be seen again.
The man came into the car
dealership and requested a test
fc^drive in a red 1978 Camaro. Milt
Bullard, sales manager, was work
ing with another customer, and
gave tne man the keys to the car he
?wanted to try out.
Bullard, who says that he doesn't
want to answer any questions about
the incident, was told that the
(Oman's Lincoln would be left on the
lot with the keys in it.
Sure enough, the car was left
there, and when the prospective
customer didn't return with the
Camaro, Hoke Auto learned that
the Lincoln had been stolen from a
^.dealership in Fayetteville.
? "I understand that fellow in
Fayetteville was glad to get his car
(the Lincoln) back," Younger
Snead, Jr., owner of Hoke Auto,
-.said.
Snead said such a thing had
o
never happened to him before.
"At least nothing quite like
this," he said, "although I have
had cars stolen.
"I hope maybe when my car runs
out of gas, I'll get it back," he
continued.
Tuesday afternoon, the car still
had not been found, although
investigation into the matter is
continuing.

names but maybe Cassie Wasko
could investigate this group and
find out what they can do. Of
course we would have to edit what
some of them had to say.
So enjoy your coffee, men and
maybe Cassie will show up some
morning.

V TOBACCO, COTTON
County Agricultural Extension
Chairman Wendell Young told the
commissioners the county s tobacco
income \n 1978 grossed about
^$5,792,000, compared with
$4,757,119 the previous year. He
pointed out that last year's pro
duction expenses were somewhat
higher than the previous year's but
the 1978 production brought an
increase in income after expenses.
L He reported cotton yields in the
lOCounty averaged 792 pounds per
acre, with three farms not yet
reported, but the average would
run more than 600 pounds per
acre, the county's best ever. He said
the state average for last year was
close to nearly 600 pounds.
Si
BOARD OF HEALTH
The commissioners adopted a
motion to appoint Dr. Dennis B.
Russell, a dentist, to serve the
unexpired portion of the term of
vthe late Dr. Julius Jordan on
'County Board of Health.
Dr. Russell's office is in Fay
etteville but his home is in Raeford.
Dr. Jordan died January 22.
DOG WARDEN
V In an executive session, the
commissioners inspected applica
tions for the position of county dog
warden, then, reopening the meet
ing to the public, adopted a motion
to turn over the applications to the
^.?County Board of Health for screen
ing and interviewing and sub
sequent employment of one.
REAPPRAISAL PREPARATION
The commissioners in prepara
tion for the 1982 reappraisal of
-(^property for tax purposes heard
- explanations from professionals of
what they could do.
No prices were quoted, because
Balfour said the commissioners
would not go into the costs at the
meeting.
The professionals were John
Furmage of Raeford, a land sur
veyor; James Morgan, of L. Robert
Kimball & Associates of Ebens
burg. Pa.; S.F. Westbrook, Land
mark Engineering Co., Inc., of
Cary; Scott Camp of News Map
ping Co., Athens, Ga., based
primarily in Polk County. N.C.;
Ralph Trask Jr. of Trask Aerial
Survey Co., Myrtle Beach, S.C.;
and Carlos U.H. Ulloa of Cardan
Mapping Systems Copr., Char
lotte.
The property re-evaluation will
"%e made in compliance with the
state law which requires each
county do this every eight years.
CETA
The commissioners in other
<"^business adopted a motion to turn
* over to the state Employment
Security Commission in Hoke
County the administration of the
federal Cooperative Employment
Training Act program. Commis
sioners said the details of carrying
^>ut the CETA programs made
" more work than they could handle,
on top of the county's other
business.
ESC spokesmen John Upton and
Stephen Benkosky told the com
jbnissioners the ESC is willing to run
^Moke's program.
FLOOD INSURANCE
The commissioners decided to
Vve a resolution prepared for
aJoption to provide proposed
^federal flood damage insurance
protection for Hoke County resi
dents but to accompany it wiht a
.1
letter appealing the mapping done
by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development showing
what the federal agency considers
the county's flood - hazard area.
The resolution on the federal
insurance for the county is to be
adopted at the commissioners' next
meeting, to meet the Jun; 2 federal
deadline, so people with buildings
and those who will build in the
designated flood - hazard area will
be covered if flood damage occurs
before the area is remapped.
Jack Ellis, head of the county's
inspections department, recom
mended the HUD be appealed,
saying the area was too large. He
said the U.S. Soil Conservation
Service could do an accurate job of
mapping for that purpose since ii
knows the county.
AREA V EMS
The commissioners in other
business tabled consideration of
issuing a letter supporting an
application of federal funds for
planning in connection with a
proposed 15 - county area emer
gency medical services project.
The commissioners said they
favored improvement of emergency
medical services but did not see
that the area process involved was
proper.
DeVane said the application tor
planning money would precede the
actual application for funds for the
improvements.
He said the boards of directors of
three of the Councils of Govern
ments approved the filing of the
proposed application before the
member counties individually were
asked to consider it.
DeVane, the Hoke County mem
ber of the board of the Lumber
River COG. said he would have to
know how the other Hoke com
missioners felt about the matter
before he could vote as a member of
the COG board, whether or not he
agreed with the other commis
sioners.
The government would provide
half the necessary funds.
Balfour said in commenting on
the project it looked like it was
geared more to a county with a
hospital.
ADVANCEMENT, INC.
The commissioners endorsed
Advancement, Inc., a federal pro
gram to provide new jobs. Hoke is
in a four - county group Advance
ment serves from Lumberton.
Earl Fowler, manager of the
Raeford - Hoke Chamber of Com
merce, presenting the request for
endorsement, told the commis
sioners the Advancement fund
needs refinancing, that the pro
gram has benefited Hoke and that
no county money has to be con
tributed.
Fowler said he could see that the
money can be used to create new
industry.
MUTUAL AID
Written agreements among Hoke
and Cumberland county fire de
partments to provide each other aid
in case of war emergencies were
approved by the commissioners.
The agreements were presented by
Bill Niven. Hoke Civil Prepared
ness director, to the commis
sioners.
The motion approving the
agreement asks the Civil Prepared
ness director to check into the
possibility of getting a written
agreement with not only Cumber
land but all counties adjoining
Hoke to provide mutual aid in
emergencies during peacetime.
Hoke and its neighbors have an
unwritten agreement to provide fire
department help on request.
