APRIL 24, 1980 Around Town BY SAM C. MORRIS The only comment we will make about the weather this week is PERFECT. ? Maybe it is just me. hut the pollen this year seems to he heavier than in years past. My eyes have been watery and snee/ing seems to take about 30 minutes of my time each morning. Even my car win dows seem to have more pollen on them. tAII I can say is that with my lergy. the spring and the putting on of leaves and blossoms have been rough on me. but to get warm weather here to stay 1 will put up with it. Dr. Al Edwards, pastor of" the First Presbyterian Church in Ra leigh. spoke to the Ladies Night ^f'f'air of the Raeford Presbyterian Wen of the Church. Dr. Edwards, as most of you know, appears each Sunday morning on Channel 5 Raleigh. He spoke to an overflow crowd of not only Presbyterians, hut visitors from the Baptist and Methodist churches. He is from Scotland and his speech has the Scots accent and this adds to his well received message. His talk was filled with Aimcrous jokes, hut in the end a serious tone was brought forth by the speaker. Dr. Edwards was introduced by Julian Johnson, president of the men's group and he said that Dr. Edwards was a man that helped keep church attendance down be cause so many stayed home to hear him on the tube. So if any of the organizations need a speaker that will hold ?;eryonc's attention for the entire me. try to obtain Dr. Edwards. He is tops. * * * I see by Tuesday morning paper that the postal heads are asking for another hike in the price of first class postage. I he price of stamps is high now with the service you ?(ceive. and if they don't watch out icy could price themselves right out of the market. There are other ways now to get in touch with people and the cost of mailing is about high enough. ? * ? Every four years a subject comes up before the people of Hoke County and it seems that it comes ?p during the election years. It takes no difference whether it be Democrats or Republicans in of fice. the same old "stuff' seems to drift out of Raleigh when it is time for the people of Hoke County to vote for a governor. The subject I am writing about is the "four-laning of US 401." Once again it is in the news and once again the people of Hoke County will start getting their hopes up for 0te project. I believe in my time of being in politics it has been promised six times and the road is still the same except for a little asphalt put at certain places and that is supposed to be called "widening" the road. Now don't get me wrong. I want the road four-laned as I drive it every week. But what we need is for it to come up some times besides when someone wants to get into the 0 (See AROUND TOWN, page 14) To Get Information Board Acts To Better Emergency Aid A sign of spring Friday afternoon in Raeford: the white dogwood between Raetord United Methodist ( hunh iinil the Courthouse on North Main Street.

Ihe commissioners also want Martin to get information about obtaining equipment for treating emergency heart patients at the Hoke County Medical Complex clinic. The commissioners were told the state helps pay for emergency medical equipment. Ihe motion was adopted after Fred Hard) told the commissioners ill the statewide Emergency Medi cal Services Advance Life Support program. Referring to on - the - spot emergency treatment, he said that intravenous <IV) treatment in which essential fluids are sent into the patient, would save valuable time lor the patient enroute to the hospital. Without IV treatment at the scene, bv an Emergency Medical lechnictan trained in IV tech nique. he said, the patient would have to wait till he or she got to a trom 1 I a.m. to 4 p.m.. ami trom t> p.m. to H p.m. in the guidance intor 'mat ion center ol ""1st High School just west ol Kayetteville.

Referring to heart patients, he said certain emergency treatment must be given within four to six minutes after the patient is stricken. Hardy told the com missioners that last year, of nine people who suffered attacks, only one was revived at the scene. He said there is no way of telling, of course, how many others would have been saved if the special treatment had been provided at the scene. Hardy also pointed out that the heart patient also faces an am bulance ride of about 30 minutes to the nearest hospital and that would be with the ambulance running at high speed, with siren going, neither of which a heart patient should be subjected to. The pre liminary treatment, he pointed out. would eliminate the need for a high - speed ride with the siren sound ing. After the motion was worded. Hardy referred specifically to Cape Fear Valley hospital in Fayetteville as the possible sponsor. In reference to emergency treat ment at the local clinic. Hardy said the ambulance could stop at the clinic for preliminary treatment to stabilize a heart patient enroute to the hospital. He said state financing of equipment should be looked into, as the state buys equipment for some community every year. In regard to the IV procedure's cost to the county. Hardy said it would be very little, that it would involve communications "which we already have." He pointed out that the cost of the fluids are added to the patient's bill. In connection with emergency services also, the board later adopted a motion designating this week through Saturday as Emer gency Medical Services Week in Hoke County. Gov. Jim Hunt this week signed a proclamation desig nating the EMS week statewide, and Raeford Mayor John K. McNeill. Jr.. has proclaimed the special week in Raeford. SCHOOL BOARD In other business, ihe com missioners received the proposed Hoke County school system's budget tor the new fiscal year, 1480 - 81. from Dr. Riley Jordan, chairman of the County Board of Kducation. T he other members of the board and County Schools Supt. Raz Autry attended the session . Jordan told the commissioners the proposed budget of $755,521 is about $91,000 higher than the past year's but that about $43,000 of the increase is the total in federal impact funds the county school system will lose in the next fiscal year because of President Carter's anti ? inflation program. Jordan also said the proposed budget does not provide for pay raises. John Balfour, chairman of the board of commissioners, told the school board members and Autry that the commissioners would have to hear from all the county depart ments before they could make a decision on the school budget. He also said that if he could take $90,000 from the Social Services budget he would give it to the schools. Walter Colcy. a member of the (Sec BOARD page 14)
