Day Care Center
Christmas came a little
early to the children of the
Lumbee Regional Develop
ment Association's South
-- ??- .
Hoke Day Care Center when
Santa, In all his red-suited
splendor, came rolling up ini
his camouflaged jeep. The!
party for the children was #
courtesy of some twentJ
members of the Army's Sri
venth Special Forces Grou pr
stationed at Fort Bragg. Non i
Carolina.
Mrs. Pearlie Brboks. dirr
I tor of the South Hoke Day ?
! Care Center had requested
the December 21st visit. The (
visit was coordinated, by:
Captain Michael Burke. i*ro-2
ject Office for the Seventh, f
The program for the chil
dren began with movies for
[ some and story telling for
; others. The children in each
group then changed places so
| that each group enjoyed both,
movies and stories.
Between movies and
Christmas snacks. Col. Pitch
ford. one of the visiting of
ficers, spoke of the true
meaning of Christmas while
reading several background
Bible verses. The children
returned the courtesy with
hugs and the singing of "We
Wish You A merry Christ
mas."
The activity then moved to
the eating area of the center *
where everyone enjoyed a
dHHMft! u "sugar plum*,"
the aomenuds "cookies, can
died and fruit juice were well
recefaed.
Pandemonium broke out
whet Santa came through the
door and greeted the kids with
the familiar ho, ho. hoi k took
several center staff members
to calm the children down to
the point where Santa could
call names and band out
presents from his sack. The
festivities closed as Santa bid
everyone farewell and a
"Merry Christinas."
During the entire event
there prevailed not just an
atmosphere of brotherly love,
but a special heart-felt feeling
between adults and child. A
- number of the soldiers had
even gone into the nursery
area and picked several in
fants to carry in there during
party activities. According to
several staff members, the
occasion was one of the nicest
they had ever experienced.
They all expressed their
thanks as the G.l.s left and
hoped to see them next year.
Mrs. Brooks thanked them on
behalf of the Center and
Lumbeee Regional Develop
ment Association, Inc.

Baha'is Suffer
^Continuing Persecution
DURHAM. N.C.--Eight
national leaden of the per
secuted Baha'i religion in Iran
were executed in secret on
Sunday night by government
authorities, according to re
ports reaching the Baha'i
community of Central North
Carolina. These members of
the Baha'i National Assembly
had been abducted two weeks
ago along with two other
Baha'is as they met in a
private home in Tehran.
It was reported that the
assembly members had been
held without charge in a
Tehran prison, no trials were
announced, no official state
ments about the executions
were made, none of the
victim's families were notified
and five of the bodies were
buried in the "infidels" sec
tion of a Muslem graveyard in
Tehran.
"There appears to be no
official intention of revealing
the executions of the Baha'i
leadership," said Mr. Robert
Tansik, Chairman of the Ba
ha'i district teaching Com
mittee for central North
Carolina. "The information
about the nightime executions
was leaked through a reliable
source."
This was the second group
of National Assembly mem
bers to have been seized
within a year and a half.
The entire first Assembly of
nine members disappeared
along with two other Baha'i
officials on August 20, 1980.
They have not been seen or
heard from since.
"The tragic news just re
ceived suggests the first
group of National Assembly
members may .have suffered
the same fate. It removes any
doubt as to the determination
of the fanatics in Iran to
eliminate the leadership and
thus destroy the Baha'i com- *
munity in that country," Mr.
Tansik said.
The National Spiritual As
sembly is the governing body
of the Baha'is in Iran. The
Baha'i Faith has no eccle
siastical hierachy of priests or
mullahs. The affairs of the
Baha'i community are ad
ministered by a council of
nine adults of either sex
elected annually by secret
ballot.
Since its beginning in Iran
137 years ago, the Baha'i
religion has aroused the op
position of Iran's fundamen
talist Muslem clergy, who
regard the new religion as a
heresy. Baha'is believe that
the founder of their religion,
Baha'u'llah, is the most re
cent prophet of God. His
teachings about the common
foundation of the world's
religions, the oneness of all
the races, equality of men and
women, and the necessity of
establishing a world govern
ment for the maintenance of a
lasting peace have stirred the
violent opposition of the fun
damentalist elements in Iran.
