Boys , Teacher Get Stove Wood For Sisters Thanks to some Hoke County High School students and their teacher, two Hoke County sisters in J their 60s have a fresh supply of wood for the small, pot-bellied stove that is all that keeps their house warm in cold weather. They are Mrs. Mary Stewart McLean, 68, and Miss Daisy Stewart, 66. The home of Mrs. McLean's. It's in farm and woods country about a mile east of the main residential area of Tylertown. Arthur Kemp, Hoke High elec ( tronics teacher, and four of the ? boys in VICA, a national organiza tion of occupational education students in high school, went out to the woods on Airport Road Thurs day afternoon after school, cut some scrub trees down, cut the timer into stove size logs and sticks, then delivered them to the sisters' home nearby. Later, they went back and cut another load for them. ?s The boys are John Dees, Timothy Davis, Robert Wayne Maynor, and Frank C. Burkes. They and Kemp worked with a small and temperamental power saw, a small bow saw, and two two-handed axes and hauled the wood in a pickup truck.

Mrs. McLean also is temporarily handicapped because she broke her right hand. It is healing, but she still can't use it. The women also had difficulty besides getting wood for their stove. Somebody stole Mrs. McLean's water pump. The theft robbed f Deaths And Funerals Joseph R.
