Pound Fund Gets $310
The Raeford-Hoke County Hu
mane Society received S310 in
donations from private citizens up
to Monday morning, to help the
county finance construction of a
new dog pound.
This was reported by Mrs. Jack
McGinnis, director of the society.
She said the fund-raising cam
paign is being conducted by the
organization.
The new pound will cost about
527,000, and the Raeford City
Council has allocated S7.000 in the
current municipal budget as the
city's share of the cost, but the
county government does not yet
have the remainder budgeted.
Mrs. McGinnis advised prospec
tive donors to make the checks
payable to the County of Hoke and
to specify on the checks that the
money is to be used for the new
pound, to avoid use for the present
one.
She also said the donations are
tax deductible.
A joint building for an animal
shelter and for landfill equipment
is being considered by the county
commissioners but a site for a new
pound has not been selected yet.

Around Town
(Continued from page I)
Holidays are good and 1 have
always been for them. The thing
that bugs me is that most people
forget why or what they are having
a holiday for in the first place.
Thanksgiving is a day set aside
each year in the United States and
Canada so that people can give
thanks, for feasting and prayer for
the blessings they have received
during the year.
The day first started in the New
England Colonies and was a har
vest festival and God was thanked
for this harvest and for the rewards
of the year. This was about 1621.
In 1623 Governor William Brad
ford proclaimed the day for the
colonies and Indians were invited to
the feast and prayer.
The last Thursday in November
was proclaimed as Thanksgiving
Day in the United States by
President Abraham Lincoln. It
remained that date until 1939 when
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
proclaimed the third Thursday in
November as Thanksgiving.
In 1941 Congress passed an act
that established the fourth Thurs
day in November as Thanksgiving
Day and made it a legal holiday.
So much for the history. Today,
most folks think of Thanksgiving as
a day off and time to eat turkey.
Most ads in papers and on radio &
TV call it turkey day.
The churches have even moved
Thanksgiving Services to Wednes
day night.
The photo column by Pam
Frederick in this week's News
Journal in which she asked kids
what they were going to do for
Thanksgiving had many answers.
Be sure to read them and see if any
of them said a thing about giving
"thanks."
Yes, we want the days off, but it
is wrong for us to forget why we are
off.
Think about this?
