Affairs or Relations A constituent once cor nered Alben Barkley and asked, “Why is it the House has a foreign affairs com mittee and the Senate a foreign relations commit tee?” “Well, when I was in the house,” replied the for mer vice-president, “I was told the difference was that senators were' too old to have affairs.

A matter of concern Dear Sir: I have attended the South eastern Workshop for several months. I would tike to share a few of the problems I found there. The bus driver drives much too fast. He stops too suddenly and throws his passengers on the floor. He also takes off before we are seated. When we complained to the super visor, she informed us that he did not believe anything that we said about the bus driver. I have now left the workshop and have no intention of ever going back. I am writing this in hopes that some parent will see it and think before she places her child in the care of a careless driver. Thank you for allowing me to share my burdens with you.

Warrior of the Week Warrior of the Week honors were shared for the game against Whiteville. On the defense, big Marvin Locklear made it tough for the Wol^ack to advance the ball. Marvin made numerous tackles both assisted and unassisted. It was definitely Marvin’s finest per formance of the season. The offensive Warrior of the Week was Gary Jacobs. Gary’s rushing was perhaps his best of the season, and.. was one of the prime factors in the Warrior’s near upset of league leading Whiteville. Warrior of the Week against the East Bladen Cougars was fullback Steve Pipkin. Steve was able to find a few holes in an otherwise stingy defenseive line. He showed much of the skill which earlier earned him Warrior of the Week. accitude as an artist by a committment to a career in their art form.” The title refers to the newly-emerging third century of our nation’s history. “As we enter, these artists, and other like them, will be the ones who help provide for the integration of the arts into our everyday lives....Third Century Artists are a unique group of pro fessionally-trained North Car- olinians-unique in the fact that they were chosen not only for their ability to function as artists but as social catalysts as well. These artists, serving as public servants throughout the state, are campaigning locally to develop an under standing and appreciation of the arts in places where generally no such exposure has been available before. They are bringing their art form to the people they are serving by teaching and shar ing in the creative process, as they execute or perform works. While creating, they work and talk with community folks, transferring a lasting interest in, and possibly about, creative self-expression.” Included among Third Cen tury Artists are writers, paint ers, photographers, dancers, dramatists, musicians and craftsmen. Barton is currently writing a serialized book, Up From Dust And Darkness. His was the lead article in the bicenten nial almanac published at North Carolina State Univer sity in Raleigh, Paths Toward Freedom.

LEW BARTON In ac tion with the kids of the Prospect Headstart Program. REFLECTIONS Alta Oxendine CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations. Barbara and Bruce, on your new baby daughter! Because of the families repre sented, I have a rather person al interest in this baby. I remember meeting ‘Grandpa’ Lew Barton at the Pembroke College Library my first year at Pembroke. Years later, after Mrs. Ada Locklear joined my adult class -just last year-1 was surprised to learn that she is the grandmother of Garry and Donnie, Connee and Bruce. Mrs. Ada, like most of my adult students, became one of my special friends. But she has the distinction of being my oldest student. Now, when someone says that he or she is too old to learn, I tell them how active Mrs. Ada was as a student and how pleased all of us were when things she had learned M years before began to come back to her. Through Mrs. Ada 1 met her daugh ter, Ms. Bema, Bruce’s mo ther. On the other side of the family -Barbara's sister Bon nie and I met this past summer at the Church and Com munity Center. In fact as a Summer Youth Worker, Bon nie tutored three of the students I had had in my ABE classes- And, over the telephone, I’ve gotten acquainted with Bar bara’s mother, Ms. Margaret Sampson. As a retired teacher, she is volunteering her ser vices each week to teach adults who are eager to learn more about reading, writing, math, and other subjects. Ms. Mar garet was also among the first tutors involved in the Laubach Literacy Program in this area. So, to me, brand new "Brandi” has to be a special little girl.
