Children 'Ruining' Hoke Library By Sherry Matthews Disruptive children who have apparently chosen the Hoke Coun ty Library as a target for punish ment during the summer months, have forced librarians to take ex treme measures to keep the facility usuable. "We have trouble every summer with youngsters who come in just to loiter around," Head librarian Dorothy Cameron said. "Youngsters come in here to get away from the heat, and they are constantly disturbing the librarians and other people who really utilize the facility," Cameron added. According to Cameron, youngsters will abuse water foun tains by "sloshing" water all over the library. "They do not know how to treat other people's property, and they abuse the priviliges that the library offers," Cameron said. Recently librarians have locked the bathrooms to keep "van dalism" from occurring. According to Cameron some young boys apparently tried to sneak into the girl's bathroom by way of the ceiling. "They had torn squares out of the ceiling and climbed through to the girl's rest room," Cameron said, adding that "this had never happened before." "They just don't respect public property so we have had to punish everyone for a few youngsters' behavior," Cameron said. Cameron admits that this is the seventh year the bathrooms have had to be locked. "We have to do this every sum mer," Cameron said. With 40-50 youngsters coming in every afternoon, Cameron feels the librarians have become babysitters for the community. "I don't mind young people who come in to utilize the library, but those who abuse it and make it difficult for others to study should and will be thrown out," Cameron said. "We are not babysitters, and this is not a babysitting service. This is a library," Cameron added. "These kids know they can ag gravate us, and they go to extremes to prove they can," Cameron said. "This is a cool place to go dur ing the summer months and kids will come in just to loaf," Cameron said. "I'm sure this problem will decrease once school starts again, at least until next summer," Cameron said.

Storm Hits Dundarrach High winds and hail ripped a swath through Dundarrach Tues day afternoon, ripping roofs off of barns and splitting trees. Early Wednesday morning, pro perty owners were still assessing the damage from the storm that struck around 5:00 p.m. Tuesday. Although there were no reports of funnel clouds being spotted, the storm cut a clean tornado-like path through the southeastern Hoke County community. Damage was reported to the Dundarrach Presbyterian Church where a tree was toppled against the front of the building. Roofs were also ripped off of barns near the church belonging to the Dun darrach Trading Company. One tree was dropped on a trac tor parked in the area by the state highway department, and a cotton wagon was overturned. About the time of the storm, Ft.
