Ambulance Service Seeks Extra Funds (Continued from pige I) *64,000, the ambulance service owner has now told the commis sioners, that he needs an additional $26,000 to stay afloat. About $6,000 of that figure could be trimmed if the county provided space for the ambulance service's base of operation, Up I church said. "He will be willing to work with us anyway possible. As far as Jim, his wife and their crew are con cerned, they are devoted to pro viding a number one service," Up church said. "Until you have used them in a dire emergency, you don't know how good they really are," he add ed. "You're not getting a bad deal here from Jim Henley," Tardiff said. Dove Arraigned (Continued from page 1 ) comment on the Dove case, a source close to the investigation said Dove falsified the reports out i of laziness and not because of any effort to improve the SBI cases against the four defendants. The source said Dove realized at the last minute he hadn't turned over the suspected drug material to the SBI lab, and he just faked the report and testified at the September probable-cause hear ings in Hoke District Court, rather than admit to Jean Powell, the | assistant district attorney, he wasn't ready. Miss Powell who was in Fayette ville, could not be reached for comment Tuesday on whether the charges against the four defen dants would be dropped. The trials of Bratcher, McNair, and Locklear are pending. Ross was sentenced in Hoke Superior Court in September to l two years total, suspended for three years and placed on proba tion for three years on conditions which included he pay court costs. The next term of Hoke Superior Court will be held the week of February 20 but it will be prin cipally for consideration of civil cases and whether criminal cases will be tried is not known. Dove has pleaded not guilty, and his attorney. Jack Thompson of j) Fayetteville, requested Judge F. Gordon Battle at last week's ar raignment to allow Dove to be free without bond. The judge, however, on Gran nis's request, set a SI, 500 secured bond. Thompson based his request on the circumstances and nature of the charges. He said Dove has been unemployed since his dismissal, because of the incident, and that he recently bought a home. Dove was born in New Bern. The bill of indictment says Dove "did alter evidence relevant to a criminal offense and court pro ceedings" in altering a report of the SBI lab regarding a criminal offense -- felonious possession with intent to sell and deliver mari juana against Locklear. The bill also accuses Dove of representing to Miss Powell that the evidence against Bratcher, McNair and Ross had been submit ted to the SBI lab for analysis and the analyses had been performed and the results set forth in laboratory reports, which the defendant gave to Miss Powell. The bill says the misrepresenta tion mislead the assistant district attorney and the court, and the "prefabricated reports prepared by the defendant were submitted to the Hoke County Grand Jury on 20 September 1982, in violation of North Carolina Common Law." The bill of indictment for presentation to the Grand Jury was signed by Grannis. Around T own (Continued from page 1) and television and you didn't have a weather forecast except in the almanac. In those days most folks had k food supplies for many days and didn't need to go to the store every day. It wouldn't have done any good because many of the stores wouldn't have been open. Anyway maybe the forecasters will be wrong occasionally, but they will be right most of the time. All in all they do a good job. ? ? ?

Soy You Saw It In The News-Journal Hunt Makes Restitution Hoke County Commissioner James Albert Hunt has made restitution for outstanding worth less check charged to him, conse quently won't have to stand trial as originally scheduled, according to Hoke and Robeson County reports. Hunt made restitution of $3 1 5 to Fred Baker of Lumber Bridge and paid court costs January 13 at the Hoke Superior Court clerk's of fice, and during the same week made $2,978 restitution to Charlie E. Bennett of Lumberton Machine and Weldong Co. of Lumberton and settled out of court with Samuel A. Cox of Lumberton Dat sun, paying partly on a SI 0,250 worthless check. The information about the pay ment of the Bennett check came from a member of Bennett's fami ly. A member of the Robeson Superior Court clerk's staff said she was not permitted to give in formation over the telephone. Hunt could not be reached by telephone Monday for comment about the disposition. The Bennett and Cox checks were taken care of in Robeson County. The News-Journal reported mistakenly that Hunt was scheduled for trial on all three check counts in Hoke District Court January 27. Only the Baker matter would have been tried in Hoke County. The two others would have been tried in Robeson County District Court if Hunt hadn't made good before the trial date. The only role Hoke County had in this was serving of the Robeson warrants on Hunt since Hunt lives in Hoke (Rt. 1, Red Springs), Sheriff Dave Barrington said. Cox said Hunt gave him a total SI 7,000 in worthless checks in cluding the one on which he brought the charge on but that he and Hunt settled for Hunt's paying 58,500 restitution and returning five used cars Hunt bought from the Datsun agency. Hunt was charged last month with writing the 513,543 in worth less checks. Remember when you sold Girl Scout Cookies? It's St 01 important! Giri Scout Cookies...
