Around T own (Continued from page 1) So you see the advantages that the 1973 class has to have many more reunions, because this is just the 10th year after graduation. You will miss a good time if you let this event not get off the ground. So all 1973 graduates of Hoke High School get in touch with Chuck Davis or any class member by February 28, 1983. The address is as follows. Class of 1973 301 West Donaldson Ave. Raeford, N.C. 28376 ? ? ? The Raeford Kiwanis Club an nual Ladies, night was held last Thursday night at the Bordeaux Dinner Theatre in Fayetteville. This is the second year that the dub has bought out the house for this occasion. They invite other friends of the dub to fIB the ticket requirements for the theatre. I was one of the invited guests along with my wife. The food was excellent and the pl#y, "West Side Story" was well received by everyone in attendance. One of the main attractions besides the play is the naming of the "Citizen of the Year" for Hoke County by the club. A story elsewhere in the paper will give the highlights of the naming of my friend, Neill L. McFadyen. Con gratulations to him on this honor. The reason for mentioning this, outside the congratulations, is to say that it was especially nice that all of Neill's children were able to attend this oci-uion and see and hear as the honor was bestowed upon their father. The secret was kept from Neill, but his wife, Mary Virginia, was informed end she was able to have them all the banquet. Many times the wives and family are not informed and they are not in attendance. We think that if it could be worked out that this should be done in the future. They were proud and they well should be for the accomplishments of their father. Sunday School Lesson Two years ago, my wife, Valere, bought me a beautiful cross and chain to wear around my neck. As one who had never worn any jewelry, save my University of Pennsylvania class ring and a wed ding band, I had to give some time and effort to adjust to this new ad dition. Yet, even quite apart from my lack of experience with personal jewelry, I felt somewhat uneasy about wearing that cross. Despite its beauty, 1 realized that the cross can weigh heavily upon one's cons cience. The cross has become an ac cepted religious symbol and art ob ject. But when Jesus was crucified the cross was regarded as a terrible thing of shame and suffering. There was nothing beautiful about the cross to which Jesus was nail ed. If anything, the cross represented the ultimate defeat for Jesus, the very worst that men could do to him. Luke tells us that "all his ac quaintances and the women who had followed him from Galilee stood at a distance and saw these things." Even his followers didn't want to get any closer to the cross than they had to. On that day the cross seemed to represent his failure as Messiah. Later, however, they would look upon the cross as the symbol of their failure, not his. To Jeus the cross meant physical suffering and pain. First he had to bear its weight upon his back. Later, as he hung upon it, it drain ed him of what life he had left. It was an agonizing experience and the mental and spiritual torment intensified his misery. He knew that he was suffering unjustly -- an innocent man, he was the victim of a vile plot. He was mocked and abused by the crowds and even one of his fellow prisoners reviled him. Yet, the cross speaks to us of more than human depravity. It speaks also of divine redemption. For, from the cross, Jesus uttered those words which revealed, not only his own soul but the essence of the God head as well: "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." From the cross Jesus was proclaiming that, when human beings have done their worst, God is still able to do his best and God's best is stronger than the worst of human behaviour. The victpry of Christ on the cross is that the awful reali ty of human sin could not take away Christ's even greater capacity of love and redeem.

A new law requires withholding 10% of the taxable interest and dividends you receive from savings and loans, banks, credit unions, money market and other mutual funds, corporations and federal, state and local governments. But that's not all. There will also be withholding from pension, profit sharing, annuity contracts, other de ferred compensation plans and Individual Retirement Account disbursements (unless you take the time to request otherwise.) Of course the real cost to you is even more ?in time, in lost interest compounding ?sN'fks and lost privacy. Plus, the added costs to the financial industry will ultimately be passed on to the public. ?] Sure, some folks who meet specific age and in come guidelines can receive exclusions from this law, but only if the proper forms are com pleted for each and every payer. In completing each form you will divulge information about your age and income you never had to give out before! Makes you wonder. . .whatever happened to saving incentives? We think Congress should take another look at this withholding scheme. If you agree. . .if you don't want your interest income reduced by this 10% plan, write your Senators and Congressman. Let them know how you feel. That this plan should be repealed. We Urge You To Write To Them Today Congressman : U.S. Senator: W.G. (Bill) Hefner John East 2161 Rayburn Bldg. 5313 Dirkscn Bldg.
