A little light news
By Kay Thomas
On February 8 the Boys Scouts
of America will be celebrating a
seventy-fifth birthday. February 2
was Scout Sunday in Raeford.
Scouts, their leaders, and families
looked very impressive as they
worshipped together at the
Raeford United Methodist
Church.
This church sponsors Scout
Troop 404 and Frank Baker serves
as liason between the church and
the Scouts. He spoke to the con
gregation on Sunday and introduc
ed leaders. John Ferguson is the
Troop Leader and Ken Wither
spoon is Pack Leader for the Cub
Scout organization.
Eighty-plus boys are in the
various levels of scouting.
Ferguson mentioned the joy of
working with an organization
which teaches "love of God, love
of family, and love of country."
Witherspoon spoke of the pride he
feels in seeing the younger ones
grow in the organization Both men
have two sons in scouting.
Such a scouting program cannot
exist without the committment of
many adults. Many men and
women are holding very responsi
ble positions. Volunteers are con
stantly sought. Ferguson asked
that any citizen who could spend
an hour or two a week with a scout
or scouts contact him.
Baker announced the names of
the Scouts who have reached the
rank of Eagle this year. The total is
now ten Eagles for Troop 404. He
says this record for the troop's
eight-year history is remarkable.
The Cub Scouts have an outstand
ing number of Cubs to receive the
Arrow of Light this year. These
levels can only be attained through
many hours of service and skill
building.
The young men and their leaders
are certainly to be congratulated
on their fine work and success.
Thanks, too, for the community
service and their contributions to
Hoke County and its future.

Frostbite remedies
With Winter upon us, bear in mind that frostbite
is fairly easy to prevent. Wearing earmuffs and
scarves serves as adequate protection for ears and
cheeks.
Wet gloves and socks make for frostbitten fingers
and toes. Change to dry clothing as needed.
Minor frost nips may be treated by cowering cheeks
or ears with a warm hand. Deeper frostbite may require
medical attention. Get the victim indoors and call a
doctor. Then, warm the frostbitten area by immersing it
in water heated ten degrees above body temperature.
Take care of yourself. You're important to us!
