The Pembroke Jaycees have undertak

project for the Town of Pembroke by
putting up new Christmas decorations
for this year and for years to come.
The Jaycees saw a need and agreed to
do this project for the town in order to
change and add to the looks of our fine
town during the Christmas season.
Walter G. Osendine was chairman of
the Town Christmas Decoration Pro
ject. He was assisted by President
Gregg Cummings, past president,
Randall Jones, Vice President Larry
Roberts, past vice president Ricky
Jones, and Board of Director member,
William Locklear.
The new decorations consist of 25
Christmas trees and 3 Santa Causes.
The trees were made out of metal
frames made by J.A. Jones and the
lights that have been up for the past
number of years were used to decorate
the trees. The town purchased the Santa
Clauses and paid for all the material.
Lacy Jacobs did the electrical work and
the fire department assisted with
putting up the decorations.
The Pembroke Jaycees consider this
project to be one of the finest that the>

the Jaycee Creed which states that
service to humanity is the best worV of
life.
The Jaycees would like to take this
opportunity to wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and ask for your continued
support as they continue to suppc-* our
town and community.

ed to send the audit back to their
auditors, S. Preston Douglas and
Associates for correction at their

They noted that no monies were
missing; mostly that monies were
charged to the wrong departments etc.
For instance, the Pembroke District
Court was debited with S6.66S more
than it had actually spent; and the ? -
power company was not charged
with the same amount.
The council also voted to revamp the
council chambers so that the council wfl
face the audience instead of sitting
around the meeting table as it ia now
situated. The arrangement now hue
