. .Paramedics (Continued from page 1A) According to Henley even that cost may be too high. "Some counties get 50^c state matched funds for this type of pro gram," Henley added. But despite all this, Henley ad mits, the cost may increase down the road, especially if the county buys the ambulance service. "I still believe it is worth the ex pense if wc save just one life," Henley said. Of the 39.95 million people in the United States expected to have cardiac arrest, some will come from Hoke County, Henley said. "If it were you or a family member going into cardiac arrest, you would feel differently about the paramedic program," Henley said. Assault Charges Aired In District Court Case A Hoke County man was sentenced in District Court this week on charges of assaulting a female. John Charles Baldwin of Rt. 3, Raeford was sentenced by District Court Judge Lacy S. Hair in one of only 10 cases tried this week.
