THURSDAY, MAY 18. 1978 ,\ 150 PER COPY f * ? ? ? NEW POSTMASTER IN PEMBROKE In spite of the fact that four of the six applicants were Indians, Pembroke's new postmaster is Jacob L. Curtis, a White from Hickory, NC Curtis is the second White Post master since John J. Sampson, the last Indian postmaster, retired. Curtis' announcement seems to do away with the notion that the post master in Pembroke traditionally will be Indian since, according to recent employment figures. Pembroke is the only post office in Robeson County where there are Indians employed. Hopefully we will be able to provide more biographical data on Mr. Curtis in next week's issue. The scant details above were received as the Carolina Indian Voice neared press time. Guest Speaker at Warrior Athletic Awards Banquet Dr. James B. Chavls Dr. James B.

McNeill: Craig Lowry; Randall Jones: Woody Samp son: Albert Hardin; Willie Harris: Lacy Jacobs.
