SmrflnHs offering
finance management
Sandhills Community College Is
offering a continuing education
class designed to help with
household and personal finance
management.
The class will meet on Tuesday
evenings from 6-8 p.m. beginning
March 5 at the Hoke County High
School.
Instructor John C. Kelso, Jr.,
says that topics covered in this
course are basic to running a
household and handling personal
expenses.
His experience has been that
"many of us were not taught basic
money management principles as
young adults and we are not
prepared for the economic situa
tions and decisions facing us to
day."
The soal of this course, says Mr.
Kelso, is to explain how to gain
control of basic living expenses, to
learn a little about our economy
and a few money management and
saving techniques.
Kelso will be assisted in teaching
this course by his wife, Brenda
Kelso.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelso have spent
the last seven years preparing for
this course, unknowingly, as they
struggled to come to grips with in
flation, career changes, interstate
1 moves, and rearing their two
children, ages 13 and 10.
Registration for the course will
be conducted at the beginning of
the first class, March 5.
The fee is $10.00; North
Carolina residents 65 or over do
not pay registration fees.

Learning about abuse
These Hoke County scouts are attending a workshop held recently on
child abuse awareness.
Girl Scouts attend
awareness workshop
Hoke County Girl Scouts recent
ly sponsored a series of Child
Abuse Awareness Workshops for
girls of all ages and parents.
The Junior League of women of
Fayetteville conducted the
workshops.
Approximately 150 participants
attended the workshops.
The girls and parents were told
that child abuse is the repeated
mistreatment of a child by parent
or guardian resulting in injury or
harm.
Neglect is the abandonment of a
child or the absence of proper care
or supervision by the parent or
guardian.
Abuse comes in many forms,
among which are: Physical - which
includes shaking, beating, burn
ing, biting, failing to provide ade
quate food, clothing, shelter and
medical care; Verbal-excessive yell
ing and belittling; Emotional
Abuse as failing to provide
warmth, attention and supervi
sion.
Sexual Abuse as incest, rape,
and exposure to sexual activities."
Child abuse can happen
anywhere - in low income families,
middle class families, well-to-do
families, . in rural areas, suburbs
and cities.
The girls were given some simple
rules to help themselves - do not
accept gifts or rides from
strangers, learn to say NO in a
loud voice, if an adult or older
brother or sister or friend touch
you and make you feel uncomfor
table, be sure to tell parents,
teachers, counselor, an adult you
trust or you may call 875-8725.
Pat Booth was the consultant
for the older girls. After seeing a
film of abused children, the girls
were given statistics on reported in
cidences of child abuse in Hoke
and Cumberland counties. After a
lively question and answer session,
the girls and their parents were
served orange juice and cookies.
Any girl who would like to
become a Girl Scout or any adult
who would like to work with our
Girl Scout Program, call 875-5237
after 7 p.m.
