Pembroke Mayor speaks
at Kiwanis Meeting
Si*
L 2 L -V' : 1_
Mayor, Pete Jacobs who was
the speaker at the Toeaday
evening meeting at the Town
and County Restaurant. 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.

A few weeks ago Say Lowry,
who is with die Animal and
Plant Health Inspection
Service of the United States
Department of Agriculture,
called and reviewed a chemi
cal recommendation for the
control fo a tick-like looking
bug that <had been causing
some problems with home
owners in the Lumberton
area. At that time he indicat
ed in his survey that these
particular insects seem to be
relatively abundant, and he
fully anticipated that we
would receive a fairly large
number of calls regarding
these insects at die Extension
Office with in the next few
weeks. Ray's predictions were
quite correct.
In the last two weeks we
have received a large number
of calls regarding small tick
looking insects that have been
crawling on people's porches,
up their walls, into their
houses, on their walkways, on
their trees, and practically
every where else. This pro
blem has existed more pro
minently in the Godwin
Heights area of Lumberton,
but we have received a
number of reports from other
areas also.
Following a review of the
situation and identification of
the insect are definitely not
ticks. They are pine aphids.
Aphids are plant lice that feed
on certain cells of the plant
leaves. They can cause severe
injury to tobacco as well as
other crops if infestations are
allowed to develop. However,
other types of aphids also feed
on trees and shrubs. This
particular insect that us creat
ing some headaches for home
owners in those areas men
tioned is called a pine aphid.
We are aware of home
owners contacting pest
control firms to have their
premises treated for this
insect since tjiey are4 be
coming such a nuisance
through their sheer numbers.
We regret to say, however,
that treatment of one lawn,
home, or group of trees is
T
essentially worthless when
one considers the overall level
of this infestation in the area.
Should one decide that they
wanted to use an insecticide
to kill those aphids that are
bothering them at the
moment, malathion is the
material that should be
utilized, h is a very common
material that is used exten
sively in home gardens and is
essentiality a very safe pro
duct. Yet, one should keep in
mind that unless and entire
area such as a multiblock area
is treated, then these plant
lice will simply move from one
locale to another and readily
re infest before.
Additionally, since the
weather has been alternat
ingly warm and cold, we have
not experienced enough
severe cold at this time to
eliminate the current infesta
tion of these pine ahids.
However, it is fully anticipat
ed that cold weather the
remainder of this month and
in February should practically
eliminate the problem.
Yet, we fully realize that
these aphids secrete a honey
dew materia] that is quite
conductive to fungus or mold
growth, and this mold growth
can very quickly become
unsightly. Thus, even though
we anticipate the natural
decline of these insects with
out any expected damage the
pine trees that they are
feeding on, one should keep
in mind that washing down
areas where this hooeydew
secretion accumlates would
be very good idea to avoid the
unsightly apperanee of fungus
growth.
Should anyone need ad
ditional information regarding
the pine aphids or other
insects, do not hesitate to call
738-8111.*
