Around Town (Continued from page 1A) born and Tar Heel bred" will also be the motto of Fred. ? * ? I received a letter last week from the board member of our district of the Dept. of Transportation. I will publish the letter in this col umn and comment after the letter. The letter follows: Dear Sam: Subject: Clean-up Litter Week September 19-24, 1983. This is to request your help dur ing our statewide Clean-up Litter Week which is scheduled to be held during the week of September 19-24 with Saturday, September 24, designated as Youth Involve ment Day. As you are aware, Governor Hunt has placed a high priority on keeping out highways clean from litter and aesthetically pleasing to the traveling public. To ac complish this, he has designated one week in the spring and fall of each year for all citizens to join together in a unified clean-up ef fort. During this particular week the Department of Transportation is committed to utilize a minimum of three (3) litter pick-up crews per county and all available inmate labor. Department of Transporta tion will also furnish plastic bags to participating citizen groups dur ing this campaign and provide trucks with drivers to transport the litter from state maintained roads to landfills every day including Saturday. I solicit your assistance in publicizing this campaign and get ting the general public (civic groups, church groups, scouts, etc.) involved. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated by all who travel our highways. Thanks, Martha C. Hollers Board Member This is one time I will request my readers to join with the Depart ment of Transportation and let's get the litter off the highways. I at tempt every Sunday morning to clean off in front of my house after the people have thrown bottles, cans and other debris out of their cars here in town. If they will do it in town, think what is on the highways. Now is the time to clean-up. ? * ? Last week when I wrote about "Art Gore Day" in Colorado, it was hard for me to write Art Gore. He was always known around Hoke County as Arthur D. Someone mentioned this to me after the paper came out last week. The person stated that he couldn't understand why someone would change his name. Most of the time it is changed by other people and not by the individual himself. I believe this is the case of Arthur D. I have found out that he wrote Luke McNeill and asked him to take pictures of certain places and of certain people in Hoke County and have them put on a TV cassette. He wanted to see and hear things from home. Luke did this and 1 know that Arthur D. will always remember Raeford and Hoke County, but when he plays the tapes he will remember most. Luke McNeill, who took the time to do this for him. Yes, it is still Arthur D. in Hoke.
