*on customer's water bill, Matthews
'said.
The residential garbage fee will
increase from $1 to SI. SO per
month and will generate an addi
tional S6,000 in revenues for the
city.
Matthews also recommended
that the city look into the possibili
ty of contracting with a private
company for the trash pick-up ser
vice.
) At Monday's meeting, two bids
were opened for residential pick
up service, but no action was
taken.
According to Matthews, he will
review the bids with the sanitation
staff and two appointed council
members and bring back a recom
mendation to the board.
Matthews has also recommend
ed in his budget, which must be ap
proved by July I, $32,000 for a
multi-purpose building at the
county landfill.
According to Matthews, that
building would accomodate a land
fill office, equipment shed and a
dog pound facility.
The monies appropriated for the
landfill facility will only be ap
proved if the county agrees to put
up its share of the funds for the
animal shelter.
"We would not consider
building a facility out there
without the county's
participation," Matthews said.
Under a current agreement with
the county, the city pays a fourth
and the county three-fourths of the
landfill operating costs. That
agreement would mean that

Hoke DSS Gets $10,000 Grant
,fm?i !fCk'T (right) and fami'y members at the surprise
reception held at West Hoke on June I.
I The Hoke County Department
of Social Services (DSS) has been
awarded a $10,000 federal grant.
North Carolina Human Resources
Secretary Dr. Sarah T, Morrow
announced Tuesday.
The Hoke DSS is among 106
j local non-profit agencies, both
J public and private, serving in 85
I North Carolina counties which
have been awarded $1.2 million in
federal grants to provide tem
, porary food and shelter to help
1 unemployed and low income
( citizens.
The grant awards are effective
June 1, and all the funds are to be
spent by Septemer 30 of this year.
The money is North Carolina's
share of the Emergency Food and
Shelter Program recently establish
ed by Congress as part of the $4.6
billion federal Jobs Bill.
The funding for the program
was divided among the states on
the basis of their unemployment
rates and the number of in
dividuals living below poverty
level.
$120,000 would be appropriated
for the proposed facility.
Of those monies, the city would
pay the S32.000 already in their
proposed budget with the county
making up the difference of ap
proximately $80,000.
However, in the county's pro
posed budget. County Manager
James Martin has appropriated
$25,000 for a dog pound facility
and $18,750 for a landfill building.
Those figures would only pay
about half of the $80,000 the coun
ty allegedly has agreed to pay for
the construction of the proposed
structure at the landfill site.
Other city budget proposals in
clude a 5^ cost-of-living raise for
all city employees and an addi
tional 2.5% merit system pay plan.
That plan was frozen by the coun
cil in the 1982-83 budget.
After examining the proposed
budget Monday night, council
members voted to hold a public
hearing on June 20 at 7 p.m.
The budget is expected to be ap
proved at that time.
Visiting South Hoke
On May 27, approximately 200 parents visited South Hoke School. They ate lunch with their children and then
toured the library where teacher-made crafts were displayed. Parents and children were then given a directory of
the faculty and staff at Sot.th Hoke which listed names of all teachers, aides, and administrators as well as some
interests and accomplishments of these people. This event was planned and carried out by the newly formed
South Hoke Public Information Committee. It was the desire of this group to better acquaint parents with the
people who teach their children and to give teachers and aides an opportunity to share some of their ac
complishments and talents with the parents of the children they teach.

Our STORY HOUR program is
our specialty. We believe that if we
can get a child interested in books
now, then as he grows older he/she
will want to continue reading.
Good reading habits lead to good
school grades and better advance
ment into the chosen field for the
youngster.
BOOKMOBILE
The bookmobile will be on the
road this summer and will also
have the reading charts. So we
hope thai the children out in the
county will also read. Also, the
two craft classes are for you too,
so register with your Bookmobile
ladies; but only if you will have a
way to get to the classes. We want
to be sure to have full classes so if
you can't come don't register.
PLEASE DO! register for the sum
mer reading program and make
AZ, our reading mascot happy.

days but is back with us.
CETA HELP OUT

over for three weeks. We sure miss
the girls who have been coming in
on the afternoon and on Satur
days. They were good help and
now we find that we are extra
shorthanded and no-one has taken
Library News
a vacation yet. You can't work
around help you don't have.
If you find the library closed at
lunchtime, just be patient with us.
We all like our lunch time but
sometimes there is only one of us
for the day and we need our break.
SUMMER
We hope all the youngsters have
a very special summer vacation.
Try to be careful whatever you do.
Your new teacher will be looking
for you next year all in one piece.
And we will be here to help you

have to have in. But for now just
have a good vacation and enjoy the
summer in every way.
