In his introduction, Mr. Lowty dted Mr. Jacobs outstanding ser vice to bofh the Town at Pembroke and to Rdbesoo County. For many years he was Town Clerk at Pembroke, presently he is Robeson Coun ty Tax Collector and is also serving his second term as Mayor of Pembroke. In his opening remarks, Mayor Jacobs spoke of Ms surprise and pleasure this past Friday when a gentleman handed him a calling card which revealed that he was the Mayor of Pembroke, Canada. The two Mayors compared their towns with justifiable pride and noted a similarity through growing tobacco, lor flue- cured tobac co is grown one hundred miles north of Ottawa. In,' speaking about pride in country, community, and self we should have pride in the fact that the United States is | the greatest country in the world-a leader in peace and in human rights. Presently there is a wave at negativism in the country as shown in the refusual of a million young men to register when they become of age. No one seems to applaud what is right. There are two sides to every question just as there are two sides to fly paper- and it makes a difference which side the fly chooses. Our nation was built upon optimism, not negativism. From the beginning, our country has been proud of its achievements and we must continue to do so. In Pem broke we have progressed from having appointed offici als to our present election of officials. We are proud at Kiwanis which was the first service Club in Pembroke. We are equally proud of the Lions Club and the Pembroke Jay cees which also have contri buted so much to out com munity We are prood of our University which has increas ed our educational opportuni ties. We must never cease to have pnde in ourselves; in our town, and in our country. There is S time to part and a time to'iheet Ther is a time to sleep and a time to eat There is a time to work and a time to play There is a time to sing and a time to play There is a time that's glad and a time that's blue There is a time to plan and n time to do There is a time to give and a time to grit But there never was a time to quit. We must never quit show ing and demonstrating our pride in our country- com munity- or self. At the dose of his speech, Mayor Jacobs took a few moments to speak concerning tax exemptions for senior citizens 65 years of age or older. Many who are eligible for such exemptions are not aware of what they must do to obtain them. First of all they must be 65 or older, secondly, they must have an income of less than $8500 from all sources except from lineal ancestors or descendants, and lastly and most importantly, they must personally request the exemption. Presiding at the meeting was Club President John L. Carter. The invocation was given by Ray Lowry and Lankford Godwin was the song leader with Ira Pate Lowry as accompanist. Bernard Lowry attended the mid-winter convention of the Carolina District Kiwani ans at Southern Pities with District President Jim Story presiding. "We Care" is the Kiwanis theme for 1982. *-
