Willie Dye, a senior from
Chester. S.C. has been lead
ing the Pembroke State Uni
versity wrestling team in
style.
The 134-pounder holds the
only undefeated record on the
squad at 194). In addition,
Dye only needs two more wins
to become the winningest
wrestler in PSU history.
Dye currently holds 121 wins
in his career with Gregg
Shealy (1976-80) the all-time
leader in wins with 122. Dye is
now second on the nil-time
list.
"Willie is a very tough
competitor and he is a real
leader." stated first-year
Head Coach P.i. Smith. "He
is a good example for the
team and he is just one
of those people blessed with a
lot of talent, but does not take
it for granted."
Coach Smith continued. "I
have been very pleased with
his leadership ability. He is
excellent on his feet and if he
has a weakness, it's being
able to escape from the
bottom."
But there is not much the
friendly Dye cannot do. His
name is throughout the wrest
ling records of all-time.
He holds the record for moat
takedowns in a single season
with 91 in 1979 and was fourth
la the same category with 70
in 1978.
Dye also was second in moot
?k i
first takedowns in 1979 with
29. Dye in addition posted 56
nearfalls in 1979, good
enough for third all-time.
He also is second in all-time
wins in a season tied with
Gregg Shealy with 37 in 1979.
He posted 35 wins in 1901.
"Dye is awesome and makes
his opponents look like
nothing," continued PSU
Coach Smith. "For this rea
son, he has not been named
"Most Outstandng Wrest
ler" in any tournaments yet,
but he has deserved it in three
of the four tournaments.
Dye's most recent victories
show the power he has.
Against Appalachian State,
Dye dumped Larry Savides
12-1. Then in a match against
Wright Sate, Ohio's Steve
Neel, Dye destroyed him 21-$.
^S'ft*ctice, iQJtfcFs _ jiflbi
Jettpr'I, staled Dye. "I'v^
had days when 1 could barely
walk back to the dorm, but
that's good because it makes
you tougher. 1 hope I can
coach someday."
PSU PLAYER IS MERE
5-FOOT-8
At Pembroke State Univer
sity. there's a little man who
is making it big.
Standing a mere 5-foot-8,
sophomore guard Dwight
Miller of Rose Hill has moved
up and is now one of PSU's
starting five.
Why? The reason is simple.
The Union High School
graduate is a real team
leader.
"When 1 came to Pembroke
State, I felt I didn't have a
chance," smiled and stated
Miller. "I now do and feel my
duty is to get the ball inside to
the 'big' men on offense and
on defense, contain my man."
Increasing as one of the
toughest guards in the Caro
linas Conference, Miller feels
ne nas naa nelp trom tormer
player Melvin Reid, a gradu
ate of last year.
"Several things have help
ed me through the transi
tion," Miller recalls. "Reid
helped and the entire coach
ing staff has helped me alot
on fundamentals."
But why was he not re
cruited by a bigger school?
"All recruits told me I was
too short to play college
basketball," Millen said.
'.'They told me 1 could never
play, but PSU Coach Billy Lee
was different."
"Dwight was not highly
recruited and I feel now. he is
going to help bring back the
small man in college basket
ball." stated PSU Coach Lee
who measures under six-feet
himself.
"I was not all that impress
ed with Dwight at first, but
something kept making me go
back." Lee said.
Coach Lee feels there are
several reasons why he went
back.
"1 knew he was a winner. 1
knew by his actions he would
find a way to win." continued
Lee.'' He works very hard and
j* very pleasant to work with.
Besides. I got tired o< being
the shortest guy at practice."
Coach Lee kidded.
But while his height hasn't
stopped him. the future looks
bright for the business major.
"Dwight acts as the head to
our giant as he learns to be
the coach on the floor,"
explained Lee. "A giant can
not operate without his
head."
But while the big guys are
rebounding and scoring,
PSU's Miller is also busy at
work.
"I feel being small is an
advantage," said Miller. "I
am quicker than most others
plus I've found I get on the
big guy's nerves."
"I feel," Miller continued,
"It's not how tall or small you
are as a college basketball
player, but rather it's who
works the hardest to give 110
percent everyday."
But the "little man" does
have ideas on what he feels he
can do for Pembroke State
University.
.this season are
to get better and quicker qp
defense,*' predicted Miller.
"I want to become more a
team leader."
And like PSU Coach Lee,
the little guy has similar
goals. "I want to see Pem
broke State win the Carolines
Conference again and advan
ce to the NAIA District 26
Tournament."
"Also, my personal long
range goals include learning
how to be a better all
around basketball player. 1
want to be the best defensive
player ever at Pembroke.
Making All-American is also
on my list."
So if the saying, "Dynamite
comes in small packages" is
true, Pembroke State basket
ball fans may hear a lot about
the little guy in years to come.
Miller was a member of last
year's Carolines Conference
Championship basketball
squad.
Watch #20 at the next PSU
game!

MT. AIRY J A YCEES NEWS
by Haille W. LocUear
The Mt. Airy Jaycees have
fixed up fruit baskets for the
senior citizens and the handi
capped in our community for
the last three years. And this
year was no different.
Last year we joined with the
Mt. Airy Brotherhood to do
this and it worked out so
good we did it again this year.
Between the Jaycees and
the Brotherhood we came up
with 65 names. We fixed a
basket for each person. Then
we got together Christmas
Eve and delivered the bas
kets. There were quite a few
Jaycees who were supposed
to help deliver the fruit, some
of them didn't show up. They
don't know what they missed.
As we all know, Christmas
time is a time for giving.
When you give someone some
thing, it brings a smile to their
face. When you can make
someone smile, that makes
you feel good also. The fruit
baskets were not that much,
but it let our senior citizens
and handicapped know that
we were thinking of them at a
time when loving and caring
is supposed to be shown to
everyone.
Aftermll, Christ showed his
love to everyone by dying on
the cross that everyone might
live. The smiles and loving
care on of thse senior citizens'
faces is what those Jaycees
who did not show up to help
missed. I wish everyone could
have helped. It was a good
feeling.
1 would like to take this
opportunity to thank all the
Jaycees, Jaycettes and mem
bers of the Mt. Airy Brother
hood for helping with the fruit
baskets. Thanks everyone.
The Jaycees also tried to
make the kids at the Odum
Home in Pembroke have a
happier Christmas. We gave
each one in the home S5 for
Christmas. We have had this
as a project for the past three
years also.
We had our annual Christ
mas raffle this year and it was
to be held Dec. 30, 1981. Due
to the holidays, we post poned
it until Jan. 6, 1982. The
drawing was held at our
regular meeting last Wednes
day night. The winners were
as follows:first place was a
Remington 1100 shotgun and
it was won by Mrs. Carol
Hunt. Second prize was a
ladies watch and it was won
by Mr. Curlin Lowry. Third
prize was a child's hot cycle
and it was won by Mr. Conella
Cummings. 1 wou'd like to
take this time to thank
everyone who bought a raffle
ticket from any member.
Raffles and things like dances
are what keeps our club
going. And we thank every
one for helping out. We also
would like to thank everyone
who came out to our Christ
mas and New Year's Eve
dances. Mr. Dexter Locklear
was the chairman of our
raffle. We would like to thank
Mr. Locklear for a job well
done.
As you all might know,
January 9, 1982 was a big day
for the Mt. Airy Jaycees,
Jaycettes and a whole lot of
other people too. We spon
sored a blood drive for the
American Red Cross. It was
held at the Mt. Airy Haycee
Hut and it turned our real
good. Our goal was 13S units
of blood and we collected 111
units. We had 58 new donors
who were there for the first
time giving blood. We had
eight people who were turned
down for one reason ' or
another. If everyone who had
signed up would have come
out, we would have gone over
our goal. Blood is the gift of
life and no one can give it but ,
you. We would like to thank
everyone who came our and
gave someone a unit of life.
We would also like to thank all
the people who volunteered
their services. They were
Mrs. Cynthia Johnson, Debra
Baker, Barbara A. Low cry,
Joseph W. Oxendine, Belton
McMillan, and all the Red
Cross workers. Special thanks
to Mrs. Doris Whittall, field
consultant for the American
Red Cross. Also to all the
Jaycees and Jaycettes who
gave blood and worked the
drive. Chairman of this pro
ject was Harlie W. Locklear.
Thanks everyone for a job
well done.

What's The Use?
If a man runs after
money, he's money-mad; if
he keeps it, he's a capitalist;
if he spends it, he's a play
boy; if he doesn't get it. he's
a ne'er-do-well; if he doesn't
try to get it, he lacks ambi

after a lifetime of hard work,
people call him a fool who
never got anything out 6f

a young man and a girl came
and sat down on a bench near

Hidden behind the palm,
Mrs. Jones whispered to her
husband: "Oh, JdtVn. he
doesn't know we're here and
he's going to propose.
Whistle to warn him."
What for?" said Jones.
"Nobody whistled to warn

On Sunday our pastor de
liverd a very inspiring mess
age taken from Jeremiah
16:1-8, using as his subject
"Pain."
If you're only thinking of
the pain from sickness you are
wrong.
We are living in a corrupt
world, pain of sorrow, grief,
trouble, pain of the heart from
having to endure so much. I
think I am in that boat, etc.
We will never have any relief
here. I think it is a good thing
that we know not what a day
may bring forth. Proverbs
27:1. For if we were to see the
road ahead for the next day,
month, etc. We would pro
bably not have courage to face
.it.
The home choir really did
some wonderful singing. A
new selection to me. 1 hope to
hear it again soon. I am really
proud of all our singing
groups.
The church is in full pro
gress with the January Bible
study which has a class for
every age group. There are
many in attendance.
Something New.Mr. Mon
roe Chavis, our music direc
tor, will be beginning this
week a new music program
with the youth, junior and
senior high choir.
The associations! B'aptist
singing will be held at New
Point this Sunday beginning
at 2 p.m. Rev. Sanford
Locklear is the pastor. All
choirs are invited to attend.
Remember our men are
getting ready for Men's Day
the fourth Sunday of this
month. There will be break
fast for all men who desire to
partake. Christian men will be
leading all classes In Sunday
School, doing the speaking
and leading worship in gen
eral. Looking forward to it.
Mrs. Dsrlene Carter and
sons left last week for Why
oming where they will be
making their home for a
while with her husband, Mr.
Charles Carter who is em
ployed out there. I really miss
them very much.
Rev. Luke Cummings of

Mr. Norman Oxendine has

condition remains serious.
Mrs. Eunice Evelyn Lock

Cape Fear Valley Hospital
where he was hospitalized
due to a back injury.
Mrs. Cora M. Jones return

and many more we have on
the sick list.
Our deepest sympathy goes
out to the family of Mrs. Mary
Ruth Locklear who departed
this life on Monday due to
injuries received in an auto
accident Christmas Eve night.
Her son Patrick remains a
patient in Southeastern Gen

injuries from the same acci
dent. Mary Ruth was a find
person. To know her was to
love her. Everyone at times is
weighed down with a particu
lar load of trouble, disappoint
ment or sorrow. To each of us
in times like these, lean hard
on Jesus Christ. For He is
with us in all the experiences
of life and that is what makes
all the difference. I know from
experience.
Mayor Jacobs
addresses LRDA Staff
*
the Honorable Jane* A.
"Pete" Jacob*
Marilyn Locklear, Project
Director of Adult Basic Edu
cation introduced the Honor
able James A. "Pete" Jacobs
as guest speaker to
L.R.D.A.'s (Lumbee Regional
Development Association,
Inc.) staff meeting Monday,
January 11, 1982. Every two
weeks a guest speaker is
invited to speak to the staff at
the weekly staff meeting held
each Monday morning at 9 in
the L.R.D.A. Annex building.
Mr. Jacobs, who was re
elected to a second term as
Mayor of Pembroke Nov. 3,
1981, also doubles as the Tax
Supervisor for Robeson
County. It was in this official
capacity he addressed his talk
to the staff.
After sharing a wide spec
trum of tax subject matter,
much of which dealt with
federal and state statutes
regulating the filing and list
ing of taxes, Mr. Jacobs
entertained questions from
the floor.
After a very informative
and interesting talk on tax
matters, he entertained ques
tions from the floor in his
capacity as Mayor of the Town
of Pembroke.
Said Kenneth R. Maynor,
Executive Director of
L.R.D.A.: "We would likS to
thdhf Mr. Jacobs for taking
time out of his busy schedule
to speak to us. His presen
tation was very informative
and enlightening."

Untreated 'Whiplash' Injuries
Can Produce Lifelong Problems
IT OK. tOGfl TOFF
lulu ???*>?
We have frequently
issued warnings of the
consequences of ignoring
treatment for whiplash
injuries. In my view it is
foolhardy to forego ex
amination following any
auto accident or serious
fall as the tell-tale symp
toms of a whiplash can be
hidden for a few days or
even weeks.
Problems such as
traumatic arthritis,
nerve root compression,
myofibrositis, chronic
disc re-injury, all can
result from untreated
whiplash. .
Following a whiplash I
joint ligaments can heal 1
with scar tissue.
With scar tissue there
is a loss of elasticity in
the ligaments, which in
itself can result in a
loosened spinal joint. If
the loose joint becomes
unstable, traumatic ar
thritis may wellfresult.
Myofibrositis occurs
when the injured muscle
and surrounding
ligaments are replaced
by the scar tissue.
The most common
complication in whiplash
is 'nerve root compres
sion.'
Nerve root pain is ex
cruciating, as it radiates
over the entire area ser
viced by the particular
spina! nerve.
Chronic disc re-injury
sounds to be the logical
danger of an untreated
whiplash. A whiplash jolt
can render the spine
susceptible to any
number of disc injuries
from subsequent jolts
and shocks.
Other problems con
nected with untreated
whiplash are neuritis of
the neck, extreme ner
vousness and even even
tual brain and spinal in
juries can result.
It sounds over
simplifying to say, 'to ig
Or. R?9*r R. Rod
nore a whiplash is to play
with fire,' but that is an
accurate description.
In other words, don't
compound the problems
of an accident with your
own indifference.
(NOTE: The whiplash
symptoms, whether im
mediate or delayed, are
generally the stiff neck,
head or joint pains, and
an uneasiness?or ten
sion?particularly upon
awakening. More serious
symptoms are restricted
head motion, headache,
nausea and muscle
spasm. If you are involv
ed in an accident and ex
perience these symp
toms, I urge you to con
tact a Doctor of
Chiropractic.)
