Robeson to "Have
a say" on Future
of North Carolina
Robeson County residents
will have a chance to say what
they want the state to be like
in the year 2000, through a
questionnaire being distribu
ted in Robeson County and
throughout the state during
March.
As a public service, the
questionnaire is reprinted on
below.
The questionnaire is part of
North Carolina 2000, a long
range planning project now
underway in Robeson County
and across the state. Accord
ing to Tommy D. Swett, co
chairman of the Robeson
County NC 2000 Committee,
citizens are being asked to
identify what they value most
about the state now and want
to preserve for the future and
what they think needs most
improvement.
Throughout the month of
March, the NC 2000 Commit
tee will be placing the ques
- tionnaire in public places such
as libraries, banks and offices
and distributing it through
community organizations.
"We see this as a way to
get more people thinking
about the problems and op
portunities of a new century,"
said Swett. "We want them to
bring their own goals and
values to bear on decisions
made by leaders at all levels
decisions that can mean a
better life for our children and
our communities in the years
ahead."
Robeson's committee is
part of a network of county
committees responsible for
making sure local citizens and
leaders have a voice in the
statewide planning effort. The
' committees are feeding in
formation into a state level
Commission on the Future ol
North Carolina, appointed by
Governor Jim Hunt and chair
ed by University of North
Carolina President William C.
Friday. The Commission is
exploring alternate coufses ol
action and will submit a repon
of recommended actions tc
Governor Hunt in Decembei
of this year.

MISS LUMBEE: JACKIE JACOBS
PREPARES FOR MISS N. C.
SCHOLARSHIP PAGEANT
Continuing in their on
going endeavor at Lumbee
Regional Development Asso
ciation, Inc. to improve the
educational lot of Lumbee
(River) Indians in and around
Robeson County, the Board of
Directors has revised the
annual Miss Lumbee Pag
eant. Beginning with the
reigning Miss Lumbee, Jackie
Jacobs, the winning beauty of
the Miss Lumbee Scholarship
Pageant will become the
recipient of a SI,000 educa
tional scholarship. The Pa
geant is held on or as close as
possible to July 4, during the
LRDA-sponsored annual
Homecoming activities.
"I am most appreciative of .
the Miss Lumbee Scholar
ship," stated the current Miss
Lumbee who is a Junior at
Pembroke State University,
majoring in Chemistry. "It
has been especially beneficial
to me in the furtherance of my
education." ?
An added prize in the
competition is the opportunity
each Miss Lumbee Scholar
ship Pageant winner has of
competing in the Miss North
Carolina Scholarship Pageant
held annually in Raleigh. The
20-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Calvin L. Jacobs of
Hope Mills, N.C., Miss Lum
bee has already begun the
extensive preparations for the
Miss N.C. Pageant.
Said Miss Jacobs: "Pre
paration for the Miss N.C.
Scholarship Pageant entails
taking voice lessons, keeping
up to date with politics and
current events, voice training,
classes in charm and poise,
wardrobe preparation, a daily
exercise schedule and re
membering that a smile is
as important off stage as it is
on stage."
"The scholarship awarded
to Miss Lumbee would be
beneficial to any young lady's
education," the poised and
charming Indian beauty con
tinued. "I know it has been to
mine."
Traveling across the state
representing Lumbee Indians
as Miss Lumbee has been a
new and rewarding exper
ience according to Miss Ja
cobs. "1 have performed at
and visited a number of
preliminary and festival pa
geants, judged countless pa
geants, and appeared in pa
rades all across the State
Labor Day, Christmas, Ve
terans Day and Homecoming,
just to name a few." ?
"One of the things I like
most about being Miss Lum
bee," said she, "is the op
portunity to travel across the
.State and meet new people.
This is an honor in itself."
Her first official appearance
upon being crowned "Miss
Lumbee," was at "Strike at
the Wind!", Robeson Coun
ty's very own outdoor drama
which is centered around the
exploits and adventures of
Henry Berry Lowry, Robeson
County Indian hero of the
Civil War era.
One of her most rewarding
experiences she explains was
serving as Producer of the
Miss Pembroke State Uni
versity Pageant. She also
doubled as Mistress of Cere
monies. '
Despite her hectic schedule
and extensive traveling. Miss
Lumbee readily admits she
will miss the glitter, glamour
and limelight that comes with
being crowned "Miss Lum
bee." "I truly would rather
not think about it," she said.
"But giving up my crown will
become a reality in about 4
months. *
"I do find consolation in th?"
knowledge," she continued,
once again flashing her win
niog smile, "that somewhere
out there, there is an up
and-coming Miss Lumbee
who wfll have the same op
portunity to fulfill a life
long dream just as I have
fulfilled mine.
"And at the end of 12
months," she interjects as an
afterthought, "she will be
able to smile just as I now
smile with a sense of satis
faction' at having taken ad
vantage of the greatest op
portunity of a life-time. And
in the process, having molded
herself into a mature young
woman."
Miss Jackie Jacobs, Miss
Lumbee 1981 who has indeed
represented the Lumbee Indi
an people well during her
reign, stated: "I strongly en
courage Lumbee ladies be
tween the ages Qf 17 and 24 to
enter the Miss Lumbee Pa
geant. Just becoming a con
testant makes you a winner,
whether you win the crown or
not; for there are no losers.
The experience of represent
ing our people as Miss
Lumbee serves as a vehicle
through which new friend
ships. and self-satisfaction
through competition are gain
ed."
In conclusion the beautiful
Indian lass explained: "The
success of Miss Lumbee's
year would be virtually im
possible without the support
of LRDA and a very special,
patient and understanding
persons who unselfishly gives
of herself and her time to
make sure Miss Lumbee has a
rewarding year. Florence
Ransom is a definite asset and
the very backbone of the Miss
Lumbee Pageant."
Applications are now being
accepted from young Indian
women who wish to vy for the
title and crown of Miss
Lumbee. For applications and
/or further information con
