. . .Around Town (Continued from Page 1A) that Mayor John K. McNeill, Jr. said that the teacher came here in 1926 and left in 1937. He said that he started to school in 1926 and finished in 1937 and that Miss Sturgis was here every year he was in school. If some of you folks are wonder ing about the Mayor saying he was there every year, just remember that except for two years, 1936 and 1937, he was in a building that housed all 11 grades of Raeford High School. I want to thank everyone that sent or gave me information on this item. ? * ? The item last week about Frank McFadyen making a hole-in-one at Arabia Golf Course has also brought forward some remarks. Franklin Teal, local baseball ex pert, stated that when someone made a hole-in-one, to be recogniz ed, it must be certified by reliable witnesses. He questioned where Frank was going to get a reliable witness out of the threesome he was playing with that day. Joe Upchurch, an arrowhead ex pert, said that he had also made a hole-in-one on the 18th hole at Arabia. He stated that the dif ference between Frank's hole-in one and the one he made was that Frank's was luck and that his was skill. Would someone have the FBI checkout these two experts? * ? ? Many readers of this column can't remember back to 1933 but this writer can. It was during the depression or hard times and a dollar was worth a dollar. In the preceding years, many businesses had gone broke, not bankrupt, and it seemed that, maybe some things were beginning to rise up and times would get bet ter. The banks had closed and had reopened when found to be finan cially sound. Many did not open and money was lost by the depositors. That year, 1933, a car dealership opened in Hoke County. There wasn't a car dealership in the coun ty at that time. All that were here had closed their doors a few years before. The dealership was known as Hoke Auto Company and their product was the Chevrolet automobile. The business was owned by Crawford Thomas and Younger Snead. Snead was the manager. This business is celebrating its 50th year, 1933-1983, and once again it has survived a tough time for the auto industry. The dealership is now run by Younger Snead, Jr. and has moved from the opening place on Main Street in 1933 to a new building on U.S. 401 Bypass. We offer our congratulations to this business on their 50th anniver sary . ? ? * Did you see that the Raleigh News and Observer "Tar Heel of the Week" had a local connection? The N.C. Teacher of the Year was written up and she is Mrs. Jean Paul Powell of Clinton. The local connection is that she is the mother of Jean Elizabeth Powell, assistant district attorney for Hoke County. Congratulations twice to Mrs. Powell, and also congratulations to Jean.
