The Hoke County News - Established 1928 VOLUME LXXIII NUMBER 7 RAEFORD, HOKE COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA Other Awards Also Given At Graduation Week Event - journal The Hoke County Journal - Established 1905 $8 PER YEAR THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1981 Scholarships Presented At Hoke High Senior Dinner June 2 Around Town BY SAMC. MORRIS Summer arrived a few weeks early this year. The temperature has been over 90 degrees for the past few days and if it gets hotter when summer arrives, it will be hard to put up with during the days ahead. The scattered showers are help ing, but we still need rain to catch up because of the dry weather a few months ago. Maybe a couple of inches for the next few weeks; that is 2 inches each week. * * * Since the item appeared last week about picture taking at weddings these days, I have had more comments about this that they agree with me. Now if the ratio is as great as the comments, then I wonder why they changed the procedure. Ot course the photographer wants to get it over with as soon as possible, but considering the amount they receive for doing a wedding, it seems they could take a little more time. Anyway, it is good to find something that people agree on with me. So if you are in a wedding anytime soon, be prepared for picture taking. * * * The time is drawing near for the passage of the 1981-82 county and city budgets. As of this time the final budgets are still being looked over by the county and town officials. The word taxes is a bad word to the people this day and time. From all rumors that come to the office the officials are doing everything in their power to keep from raising taxes. Of course when this is the course of what is to come, then every department head says that all other departments can be cut, but not his group. For the past few years, inflation has caused a raise for all em ployees, but since things are about to level off, then the annual expected raise is something that will have to stop. This will be hard for government employees to accept. The grants, revenue sharing and money that has been coming down from federal and state levels will now cease. So this makes it bad for all concerned. We have all been saying it would happen, but we never expected it to happen or we didn't want to believe it would happen. But it has happened and things don't look rosey for officials who must work up the budget. * * * The painting of 1981 on the school buildings is something that goes beyond the prank or fun that the person or persons started out to (Sec AROUND TOWN.

Students Raised $ 1.234.57 Turlington Fund To Buy Caracal For Zoo Mrs. Carroll M. Coley's sixth grade class went to the N.C. Zoo al Asheboro May 30, to present a check for $1,234.57 to Mr. Fry, zoo director, on behalf of J.W. Turling ton School. This was an exciting and long awaited day, because all year Turlington School students have raised money to purchase an animal for the zoo. Mrs. Coley's class of 32 boys and girls led the campaign and all the other Turlington students helped. A pair of leopards had been the original choice of the students, but the Zoo had recently received a pair and could not care for more at this time. A Caracal lynx was chosen instead. This cat is a native of grasslands and hilly country of Africa, the Middle East and Asia and is now an endangered animal because they were killed for their fur. They are reddish-tan in color, weigh about 35 to 40 pounds and have tufts of black hair about an inch long on the tips of their ears. Few zoos have Caracals but the N.C. Zoo received a male Caracal about a month ago, and Turlington School's money will purchase a female from Africa. The cat costs $1,200, Mrs. Coley said they were informed by a member of the Zoo staff. The rest of the students' fund will pay for getting and placing at the Caracal's new home a plaque saying she is the gift of the Turlington students. The rare, exotic Caracal is so fast it can catch a bird in flight and run down a gazelle. Caracals are used for hunting but also have been trained as pets in homes in India. The students at Turlington School are happy to have been able to purchase such an animal for others to enjoy. Mrs. Coley's class wishes to thank Raz Autry, superintendent of Hoke County schools, Miss Emma Mims, Turlington princi pal, all the teachers and students at Turlington, the students' parents, the Jaycettes, and individuals in the community for their support in raising the money to buy the Caracal.
