Spring watch
This post seems to be watching for spring to bring foliage to these vines and turn the accompanying
fence into a hedge.

busy working as secretary for the
Mecklenburg committee for Rufus
Edmisten for Governor. 1 see a lot
of people who either have connec
tions in Hoke County or know
someone there.
"Hope to see folks in Raeford
soon."
Sincerely
Anna Clark
Thanks Anna for the nice note. 1
understand that you were in
Raeford last Sunday. Sorry to have
missed you.

I appreciate the many kind
words from Hoke County people
on my comments in this column
last week about what I thought of
my county.
It seems that the article was read
by many folks in the county and
that it left the same bad taste with
them that it did with me.
I understand that the editor has
an editorial this week that gives
some of the positive facts about
Hoke County. Be sure to read it.

I have about come to the conclu
sion that if you want to be in
politics that you must have a bank
full of money. Now this doesn't
mean just the people that are run
ning for office, but even if you
want to hold a job in the party of
your choice.
Having been in politics for many
years, 1 have about come to the
place that I hate to hear the phone
ring at my house.
For example:
Sunday afternoon someone call
ed from Raleigh for a candidate
and wanted me to join a "family
plan" for the candidate's cam
paign. They asked for up to S5000
and it to be paid in installments of
$25 or more a month.
Now this is going too far. The
expense of campaigns is all out of
line. Something should be done
and this means fast to stop all the
expense.
Maybe candidates should let
people donate to them if they so
desire, rather than asking for
money.
This is my viewpoint!

DSS sets guidelines
for cheese giveaway
Hoke Department of Social Ser
vices (DSS) will be distributing
agriculture products in April, but
only those who receive food
stamps or meet income guidelines
will be eligible for the United
States Deparment of Agriculture
(USDA) foods, DSS Director Ken
Witherspoon said.
The new eligibility requirements,
mandated by USDA, allow all
food stamp recipients and
households grossing $6,318 an
nually to receive the products.
Households ranging from two
member families grossing $8,502
to eight-member families grossing
S21.606 are also eligible for the
products, according to Wither
spoon.
The households eligible for the
USDA foods under the income
guidelines "must complete a self
declaration income statement"
that shows their total household
income.
All income-eligible households
should report to the DSS office
March 27 through March 30 (9:30
a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) to complete the
income statements, Witherspoon
said.
Both food stamp recipients and
income eligible households will
rcceive coupons in the mail for the
products.
The new system is designed to
"help adjust the quantity distribu
tion" to ensure adequate supplies
for all the eligible households,
Witherspoon said.
Foods, which include butter, 4
cheese, honey, flour, corn meal
and powdered milk, will be
distributed on April 10, 13 and 16
at the old National Guard Armory
from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m..
The products, under USDA
laws, can only be distributed to
Hoke County residents.
CP&L customers to see savings from contract,,
An estimated $60 million in sav
ings will be passed on to Carolina
Power & Light Co. (CP&L)
customers over the next 10 years
due to a new uranium enrichment
contract, CP&L announced recent
ly.
"We have negotiated a new
30-year $1.5 billion contract with
the U.S. Department of energy for
uranium enrichment services,"
said James M. Davis Jr., CP&L's
senior vice president for operations
support.
"We are obviously very
pleased," Davis said. "These sav
ings will be passed on to our
customers."
Davis said that while the overall
cost of producing electricity con
tinues to rise, the savings from this
contract will reduce a part of the
company's cost of providing ser
vice to its customers.
Enrichment is the process by
which the natural fissionable con
tent of uranium is increased so that
it can be used in nuclear reactors to
produce heat and ultimately elec
tricity, he explained.
It ic the fourth stage in the
nuclear fuel cycle. Uranium ore is
mined, milled and converted to a
gaseous form prior to enrichment.
Then it is fabricated into solid fuel
pellets and placed inside long metal
rods and assembled in bundles.
These fuel bundles are then placed
inside the nuclear reactor.
The federal government
operates the uranium enrichment 4
facilities in the United States.
"This contract makes our
nuclear generation an even more
economical way to produce elec
tricity for our customers," Davis
said.
