LAW For Ufttrsons Missing Persons, Part VI North Carolina law covers the typical situation in which a bread winner suddenly disappears and the spouse and children are left without means to support themselves independently from the assets left behind by the missing breadwinner. The North Carolina General Statutes provide for the appointment of a receivor who has power to preserve and manage the missing person's estate and, in the proper case, to take care of his dependents. The law also provides for the termination of the receivorship when it is evident that the missing person will not return so that his property can pass as if he were dead. Suppose, however, that the judge has entered a decree that the missing person's interest has ceas ed and passed on to others by reason of his failure to appear and make a claim for his property. After his estate is distributed as if he were dead, the missing person turns up, alive and well! What a shock! North Carolina fortunately pro vides for the situation when the missing person comes back after all hope of his returning has pass ed. Section 28C-19 establishes an absentee insurance fund for those persons who reappear after their property has been distributed. The treasurer of the state manages this insurance fund and places money in it by deducting Ave percent of the total value of all property which is distributed either by the judge declaring that the absentee person must be dead or by the judge declaring that the absentee person, not having ap peared after Ave years, has lost all interest in the property. The treasurer is required to re tain these funds, invest and reinvest them in a separate fund, and add all interest or other earn ings back to that fund. If a person whose estate has already been distributed suddenly reappears, he may make a claim for reimbursement from this fund by filing suit in the Superior Court of Wake County within three years from the time of his return. Assuming that the Superior Court does find that his claim is rightful, it may require the treasurer to pay the claimant a part of the accumulated funds as the judge believes to be fair, adequate and reasonable under the cir cumstances. Sandhills Board Honors Mrs . McNeill When the Board of Trustees of the Sandhill Regional Library system held its regular meeting at Ellerbe Springs Restaurant on January 26, a resolution was adopted in appreciation of the ser vice of Mrs. J.L. McNeill. Mrs. McNeill resigned due to personal reasons after serving since 1975 on the board. She will con tinue to serve on the local board. The Hoke County Commis sioners recently appointed Palmer Willcox of Raeford to fulfill the unexpired term of Mrs. McNeill. He was welcomed to the fifteen member board, which represents member counties of Anson. Hoke, Montgomery, Moore and Rich mond. Mrs. Grace Andrews and Miss Jeanette McLaughlin, along with Mr. Willcox, now represent Hoke on the regional library board. library News DISPLAY Mr. Ozel fester is showing his ceramic, Western, scene in the library foyer display case. His work is very expertly done and much credit goes to Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, teacher and owner of "Chick Ceramics" where he learn ed through Sandhills college classes. Much appreciation goes to Mrs. Jones for showing and finding others to show their work for your enjoyment. "THE FABULl'S FUNNIES" Upchurch Junior High School presents "The Fabulus Funnies". This title was used to introduce the program by the Multi Handicapped classes at Upchurch Junior High School when they presented same at The 34th Annual Conference on Exceptional Children - 1982, in Charlotte, N.C. Teachers, Mrs. Carolyn Pagon, Mrs. Vickie Wright, along with 4 youngsters, Lynn Brock, Patricia Jones, Billy Hazeldon, and Earl Jones received certificates of par ticipation for their many hours of hard work. The presentation consisted of costumed performances of "Gar field" Patricia Jones, "Raggedy Ann" Lynn Brock, "Kermit" the frog Billy Hazeldon, and "Charlie Brown" Earl Jones. Having seen some of the perfor mances these young folks can do; it would have been very special for them to have received some award along with their certificates. To see their faces while they are perform ing is such a reward for audiences, families, and teachers. These young performers really put their best foot forward to give all they have and through their audiences' enjoyment they receive the greatest reward of making others laugh if only for a little while. If joy is con tagious. you most certainly feel this when you are in the presence of these happy youngsters. Ask to see some of their performances some time. This would delight them and their very special teachers. Special Education, of course, has to get some of its name from the very special teachers who work with these classes. They deserve your support and good wishes. A display of the large book of "Funnies" is here at the library along with pictures of the perfor mance as it was done in Charlotte. Many have enjoyed this display and some have taken time to read the funnies to their little ones. TRUSTEES Hoke County Library is honor ing the Library Board Members and Trustees this month and next and have put pictures up of the current members so you can see and know them. All members were honored and pictures were taken at the January meeting; refreshments were served. We appreciate their help in our needs. CLASSES Income Tax classes were drop ped for lack of participation but Mrs. Zulma Pratt is still very ac tively involved with her quilting classes. Many, many lovely quilts are being made and I dare say, "They are not all like the ones Grandma use to make". So very many variations of some old pat terns and many new ones have been introduced to these ambitious ladies by an expert in Mrs. Pratt, who constantly works away on something in the quilting to be shown for her next class. TAX LISTERS The Tax Listers have been work ing away and are now all finished here in the library for another year. If you are a late comer you will be directed to the Courthouse Annex. This has seemed a very short January and many may not have gotten to town to perform this task. Again, we will miss the ladies when they are gone. We have sold many of our old books, added to our patronage, and met new folks who have come in to list taxes and then on in to the library.

You and Your Pel FLEA PROTECTION AND CONTROL AN INDIVIDUAL THING Dear Doctor: What kind of flea protection do you recommend? Do you approve of flea collars or do you think the spray is the best? If so, how many times should you use the spray? And please let us know if you find anything that will help our dogs down here with their skin allergy or whatever it is. My little pet scratches all the time; it seems to be centered down her spine and down her tail. Answer: Products recommended for flea control and prevention vary from pet to pet depending on a number of factors. For instance, you wouldn't suggest the same chemicals or products for an apartment-dwelling dog as you would for a dog housed in a ken nel. Collars and sprays have their uses. However, a single product that gives complete protection has yet to be developed but a new pill now on the market has possibilities. In the meantime, riding both the pet and the environment of fleas is the only effective procedure. As for your pet's itching, fleas are not the only cause of skin allergies. Detective work on the part of you and your veterinarian will be needed to pin down the cause. ? * * Dear Doctor: I have a four-year old female foreign white Siamese Itafo ft Faatrab Duncan GiUb Duncan Alexander (Zan) Gillis, 79, of Route 4, Fayetteville, N.C. died January 30.

Last year we had her spayed and since then her left eye runs all the time. We asked the veterinarian why but he didn't know. I don't want her going blind in that eye. I'm getting worried about her. Answer: The running eye and the surgery probably are coin cidental. Ask your veterinarian to refer you to a doctor who specializes or has a special interest in ophthalmology or eye problems. * *. * Dear Doctor: one of my young cats has a tail that curls over her body like a squirrel's. She is healthy, playful and friendly just like any other cat except for her tail. 1 noticed when she was real young that the tail sort of started curling. Why? Answer: The curling tail ap parently is not due to an injury but may be an accident of nature. It is unusual. However, it is not a medical problem. If your pet were a show cat, surgery at the base of the tail could straighten out the problem.
