PARTT1ME HELP
The commissioners also author
ized employment of a parttime
assistant for County Tax Collector
Elizabeth Livingston's staff, to
work until the backlog is processed.
BUILDING STUDY
Southern National Bank's Rae
ford city executive, Steve Parker,
asked in a letter to Martin that the
commissioners consider purchase
of the bank-owned Pilot Building
and an adjacent vacant lot, sug
gesting that the building is large
enough to allow for "many years
growth" in county government
office needs, "without worry for
need of expansion."
John Balfour, chairman of the
board of county commissioners,
appointed DeVane and Commis
sioner Mabel Riley to investigate
with Martin as a committee the
building's possibilities. A com
missioner suggested it might be the
solution to the Sheriff's Depart
ment's space needs. The Sheriffs
Department is scheduled to use
some space in the former Raeford
Auto body shop building on the
south side of Edinborough Avenue.
The building is being changed for
office use. The county bought the
building and adjoining lot last
winter for government offices.
The committee was authorized
by the commissioners also to spend
up to $400 if necessary to employ a
professional architect or engineer
to study the building.
FUEL TANK
The commissioners also decided
to apply to the Raeford city
administration to have an area on
the county-owned Edinborough
Avenue lot rezoned to allow the
construction of an area for a 10.000
- gallon fuel tank and gas pump
and operation of the facility prin
cipally for Sheriff's Department
vehicles.
APPOINTMENTS
The commissioners appointed to
the County Parks and Recreation
Commission to three-year terms
Gib Bernhardt, Debbie Little, and
Mamie Bundy, and reappointed
Tommy Macko. Mrs. Bundy was
appointed in place of Mary James,
who had been recommended for

coordinator Carolyn McKoy said.
It s going to have a severe
impact." she said, adding that
some of the elderly residents are
already thinking about having to
leave their homes.
The Hoke County portion of the
program was costing taxpayers
approximately 510.452.
Those funds went principally for
the salaries for three workers, who
are all over 60 and will be
unemployed on September 30.
The "Title 5" program was sliced
from the federal budget after
President Ronald Reagan vetoed
the S14.2 billion supplemental
spending bill on August 28.
Funds for the program were
funded through the Lumber River
Council of Governments (COG)
and administered by the Hoke
County DSS.
The Reagan veto is not likelv to
be over-ridden by Congress, "ob
servers have said.
There are no other programs in
Hoke County that could imme
diately replace Title 5. McKoy said.
Vacancies must occur in two
other programs here, before the 30
elderly recipients could be ad
mitted, she added.
Although many of the recipients
are aware that the chore program
will end on September 30, DSS
Director Ken Witherspoon says he
plans to notify all of the residents
this week.
"This cut upsets me. I think that
we have a moral obligation to help
older people," Witherspoon said.
"These aren't welfare cheats.
These are people that have worked
all their lives in Hoke County. All
they have done is grow old," he
said.
"It hurts when this type of
program is cut out," he added.
appointment by the commission
because Mrs. Bundy lives in the
Rockfish community, which had no
representation, and Mrs. James
lives in Raeford, which already is
represented. Mrs. Little, of Clay
Hill, was appointed to replace Lillie
Bratcher, who has served the
maximum two terms allowed, and
Mrs. Bundy, to replace Shirley
Gibson, who is unable to serve
another term at this time.
Bernhardt was named to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation
of Cecil Bond, who has been
transferred to the Burlington In
dustries Clarksville, Va., plant. He
was manager of the Raeford Plant
of Burlington when he was trans
ferred.
The commissioners also adopted
a motion to have a letter sent to the
commission that the county com
missioners' board is on record
asking the commission to consider
recommending appointment to the
commission someone from a sec
tion not represented on that body.
CRESTLINE COMMISSION
The commissioners reappointed
M.A. Robertson and D.R. Huff,
Jr., and appointed Harry Teal to
the Fire Protection District Com
mission for Crestline Fire Depart
ment for two-year terms. Teal was
named to succeed Carson Currie.

LANDFILL COMMITTEE
Balfour appointed himself and
Commissioner James A. Hunt as
the county representatives to work
with Raeford city representatives to
iron out problems concerning the
city-county landfill.

Last week 1 wrote about an old
picture that ran elsewhere in the
paper and asked that people try to
help identify the people in the
picture. This week I received the
following letter:
Dear Sam:
The Masonic picture in The
News-Journal of September 3, 1982
is alleged of circa 1930. There is a
possibility that this is correct.
However, the mode of dress of the
military man on the front row fails
to support this. He is wearing a
waist-length blouse (Eisenhower
jacket) that was not in general issue
until late 1944. My estimate is that
these gentlemen are to be identified
with a later era. probablv the mid
1940's.
Sincerely
William B. Cox
518 Beverly Drive
Gastonia. N.C.
Thanks Bill for the letter and
your close observation. The era for
the jacket is correct for 1 wore one
in 1944. I believe that it is an
officer's blouse that was worn with
pinks for many years in the Army.
If you will observe it seems that the
officer is wearing an apron, worn
by Masons, and this gives the effect
of a w aist type blouse or jacket that
was worn during World War II. If I
am not correct: I will stand to be
corrected. Thanks, again.
