? ?^~ Hf EDITORIAL ^MA NDOPINION W PAGE x4 "We cannot know where V we are going if we do not know where we have been." - by Bruce Barton S r 'Strike at the Wind!' (? worthy of our rapport Artistic expression, cultural development and the arts have always had trouble in 01' Robeson. It has something to do with our silly, racial notions that tend to separate the ethnic groups to the detriment of all of us. Racism cannot flourish in a place where the arts can shout. "I AM SOMEBODY!" That's why I like 'Strike at the Wind!', the outdoor dra ma that celebrates the spirit of Henry Berry Lowrie and his Indian, black and white co horts each summer. It's just about the only artistic ex pression which does not limit itself racially. 'Strike at the Wind!" is the most exciting outdoor drama in America, featuring Henry Berry Lowrie and the Lumbee Indians of Robeson County, North Carolina. The spirit of Henry Berry Lowrie will ride again this summer every Thursday. Fri day and Saturday night from July 4 through August 29 at the Lakeside Amphitheatre on the grounds of the Riverside Country Club, 3 miles west of Pembroke deep in the heart of the Red Banks community. A FUND RAISING SET FOR JUNE 12 Recently some of us came together and began an organ ization named First American Showcase. Inc. We're inter ested in showcasing the talent of the Indian community and their friends. It is absolutely necessary to encourage the arts. The arts take off our rough edges, make us more agreeable with one another. We have decided to sponsor a fund raising activity for 'Strike at the Wind!' this year. We hope you will like it and support our effort. A mammoth cook out will be held in the Pembroke Town Park on June 12. We will be serving barbecue and all the trimmings from II a.m. until. The event will take place in the Pembroke Town Park, located generally in front on of Pembroke Drug Center and the Meeting Place Restaurant on 3rd Street. Live entertainment will be featured throughout the day. especially a couple of mini concerts featuring cast mem bers and music from 'Strike at the Wind!'. And more. We are billing it as a Salute to 'Strike at the Wind!' And we want it to be just that a Salute to 'Strike at the Wind!' All monies raised, less ex penses. will be given to 'Strike at the Wind!' to help assure them of another suc cessful season. Later that night an old , fashioned gospel sing will be held at Lakeside" 'Amphithe atre. home of 'Strike at the Wind!" Lakeside Amphithe atre is located on the grounds of Riverside Country Club approximately 3 miles west of Pembroke. The gospel groups appear ing will be announcedin next week's issue of The Carolina Indian Voice. The price to both these exciting events is a mere donation of S8. We want you to help us make this a successful fund raising, something all of us can be proud of. 1 know you'll help. I'm depending on it. It gets lonesome out on a limb like this by oneself. So join me and let's do it. This will be the first major fund raising undertaken by the community to help 'Strike at the Wind!' I'll level with you. I have promised publicly to help raise $7,500.00 for 'Strike at the Wind!' I believe it can be done...with your help, of course. Co-sponsoring the happen ing is Riverside Country Club, the Town of Pembroke. Lum bee Regional Development Association, the Pembroke Jaycees, the Carolina Indian Voice and Robeson Historical Drama, Inc. It's a major undertaking but 'Strike at the Wind!' is worthy of our support. "A tart tamper newer mallow* with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use."

While lounging around home today, recovering from a case of hipitus, I received a frantic telephone call from Connie Brooks, one of many 4th period students at Mag nolia High. She stated that it was very important that 1 get down to Magnolia as soon as possible. I arrived at Mag nolia fifteen minutes later, it's a twenty minute drive from Pembroke. I met two students in the hall who escorted me to the room. I was still won dering, as we approached the door, just what was coming down. I knew those cats were up to something. Now picture this-Bonnie Hammonds and Cathy Brew er, smiling like squirrels eating hickory nuts on a frosty morning, practically dragging me down the hall. And me trying to keep up with them on my bum hip. About this time the door opened and 1 heard the words: "Surprise! Surprise!" Now what it was was a surprise retirement party they had planned for today, 6uf didn't know that 1 would not be there. And it really water surprise. I figured perhaps Peggy Hardin and Connie Chavis had learned that they had flunked a couple of subjects and wanted me to talk to their teachers about giving them at least a grade of 70 so they could pass and not have to take the subject over again next school term. There was plenty of good hot dogs, chips, cookies, etc. And a cake with two roses and an inscription that read: 'Best wishes and good luck as you go into retirement." Thanks! Fourth period "Bambinos," Iloveya all. Elmer W. Hunt Added to Honor Roll To Whom it May Concern: This letter is in regard of a James F. Hammonds who's name was left off the B Honor Roll of Pembroke Senior High School. The grading period for the Honor Roll was of the 3rd nine weeks.

And I'm a long way from home. I'm doing time in Central Prison. And I'm sure there are some people out there who know how it is in here. My request is: I would like to correspond with peo ple. Or, better yet, I would appreciate corresponding with people of my own race. Pembroke, Lumberton and Maxton, I know, have a relatively large Indian popu lation. Prison is a lonely place ^ especially when your people are in excess of 1,000 miles away, and the prices to travel that distance is expensive and letters are very few.

What are some myths about vision? Answer: One of the most widely believed myths about vision is that 20/20 is perfect. It only means you can see things far away normally. Another is that your eyes wear out from too much use. Most of us. however, need to see our doctor of optometry eveiy year for a thorough examination to keep our eyes healthy and in top working order. Other myths are that wat ching too much television, sitting too close to the set or reading in poor light will harjji your eyes. Sitting further away iron the IV makes me picture appear sharper, how ever. Reading with proper light makes the task easier on the eyes. It's also a myth that not wearing glasses when youv' need them or wearing the wrong glasses will make your, eyes worse. Of course, you won't see as well as you could and your eyes must work extra hard. Eye Openers were prepared by the American Opto me trie Association. Dr John Adams and Dr. Harold Herring of Pembroke Optometric Clinic have edited and submitted these columns as a service to the citizens of the Pembroke area. The Carolina Indian Voice is pleased to print this column as a public service. A group of kangaroo* it called a mob.
