carol Smith Oxendine nas
always been interested in
Robeson County Indian gene
alogy. "I have always been
curious," stated the wife of
the Rev. Alonzo Oxendine
who has been hired as a
Consultant to Lumbee Re
gional Development Associa
tion, Inc. "If I live and die
without finding out all I can -
about my people," she said,
"I will feel that I have been
cheated out of something in
life."
Ms. Oxendine began work
ing with Lumbee River Legal
Services in January of this
year, specifically beginning in
the year 1790 and tracing
Indian genealogy back as far
as possible. "My work at
LRDA," she stated, "is really
only an extension of the work I
have been performing at
Lumbee River Legal Services
since January."
The mother of three child
ren--2 boys, Brian Keith and
Allan Wayne who presently
attends PSU, and one girl,
Caroline Denise-she received
her B.A. in Sociology at
Pembroke State University.
she worked with Kooeson
County Church and Com
munity Center far four yean.
However, for the past couple
of years she has been conduc
ting independent research,
"in the past couple of yean,"
she said, "I have been
conducting independent re
search, amassing and compi
ling countless records and
research materials. In the
process I have learned quite a
bit about Robeson County
Indian genealogy."
Ms. Oxendine will be wor
king closely with Rebecca
Sieb who directs LRDA's
Federal Acknowledgement
Project which also works in
conjunction with Lumbee Riv
er Legal Services. "I was
specifically hired," said the
native Robesonian Lumbee,
"to take information sub
mitted by Indian enrollees in
the Lumbee Tribe and trace
their genealogy, comparing
and corrobarating this sub
mitted information with exist
ing documentation.
She will be working as a
Consultant to LRDA until
July 31,1962. "Not oaky w?1
bo working with Umbecs,"
she maintains, "but hopefully
1 wfll be working with other
wdL"
Besides having the distinc
tion of being one of the most
experienced and informed
genealogists in the sees of
Xnmbee Indians, Ms. Oxen
Idine ? also reportedly the
first * ive American in the
United^itstes to be certified
ss s tutor/trainer in the
Lsubsch method of teaching.
In speaking with the very
personable Indian lady, one
comes sway with the impres
sion that Lumbee Indian
genealogy has all bat become
a passion with her.
Indeed, she declares quite
adamantly: "This is not a
job..this is s matter of dignity
to Indian people."
IS YOUR HOME ONE
OF THE 34 MILLION?
A recent Gallup Poll
showed that 34 million
American householda are
growing food in their back
yards. The total value of
produce from all our gar
dens in 1980 was $14 billion
? an average yield of $440
for each garden.
Now is the appropriate
time for thrifty souls to
reap the rewards of harvest
and turn their thoughts to
freezing their home-grown
- vegetables. Youll save time,
money and have nutritious
meals all winter long. The
key to successful freezing is
to package food so that
there are no air pockets
to cause freezer bum and
rancidity. A good way to do
this is by using a plastic
bag, such as a "Glad" Food
Storage Bag. Use a straw t
to extract the very last
air bubble from the bag
-and then quickly tie off
with a twist-tie.
The average cost of a
typical backyard garden was
estimated at $20 in 1980.
Subtracted from the average
yield gives an estimated total
savings of $420 per family!

JanirotlaJ Supplies.
A facet of day care pro
grams often overlooked by
private enterprises is the area
of training. Specifkially,
training in the area of food
and supplies, estimating and
purchasing. Such has not
been the case with Lumbee
Regional Development Asso
. ciation, according to Lynneet
tah Jacobs, Day Care Pro
gram Director. ,i
Due to the continual rising
costs of food and such expen
dable supplies as soap, bath
room tissue, etc., Jacobs has
begun a series of seminars on
products cost and purchase.
These seminars involve de
monstrations of products by
sales representatives from
various wholesalers. One of
the benefits of these mini
workshops is an awareness
by the eight day care center
directors of price, quantity
and quality comparions of
various prodifcts. These com
parisons provide a valuable
illustration in achieving a cost
efficient operation of a day
care center in today's expan
ding service market.
Pate-Derby of Fayetteville
demonstrated several brands
of food items. One vegetable
presented for a comparison
(was green beans in a # 10 size
rein. Each of three cans was
| "a different brand at different
prices. The beans were emp
tied into separate trays. Each
brand had its one quality in
both color appearance and
taste. The middle-priced
beans proved the best buy
['with the best color and flavor.
: Wallace Willoughby, Pate
Derby sales representative
also demonstrated compari
sons of yellow corn and dry
cereal. The dry cereal presen
tation showed that ounce for
ounce, the pre-packaged corn
flakes in plastic bowls proved
to be comparable in cost to
buying bulk cereal, dispos
able bowls and using time and
r labor in serving the cereal.
Another benefit brought
out by Mr. Willoughby at Ms.
Jacobs' insistence were the
savings that could be made by
having manufacturer's sales
passed on to LRDA by the
wholesaler.
On March 26, the Golden
Eagle Janitorial Supplies
dealer in Pembroke had sale
representative Sam Bra swell
demonstrate their line of
products. These products in
cluded floor wax remover,
liquid hand soap and dispen
sers, paper towels, glass and
all purpose cleaner, and clea
ning tools such as brooms,
mops, brushes, toilet plun
gers, rubber gloves, etc.
Again a cost comparison was
made to demonstrate the
savings in using concentrated
or commercial strength pro
ducts that can be diluted.
Mr. Bra swell commented
that while price-wise they
might not be able to compete
frith some of die larger
distributors in eastern North
Carolina, they could make lip
the difference in service as a
locally established business.

EverGmen
Church Ms
by Mrs. LeacieBroOks
Glad to report that the
Superintendent, Bro. Henry
Chavis, was able to be in
church Sunday. Keep him on
your prayer list because he is
still not well.
The lesson for Sunday was
"Called to Holy Living."
Thessolonians 4:l-l2.
Paul gave three reasons
why a Christian should live a
life of holiness. First of all,
God hath called us unto
holiness and not unto unclean
ness. He wants to reproduce
holiness in us. His second
.reason was that impurity is a
sin against the Holy Spirit
whom God hath given to us. ft
grieves the Spirit of God whc
a believer fails to live a holy
life. And final mason was
that God will punish those
who pass over the boundary
of sanctification. The com
mandment to holiness is not
a man-made law. It is a com
mandment of God and should
be taken seriously by ever)
believer.
There were two reasons
why the Thessalonians should
work. First they were to work
so they would have a
testimony of honesty- before
the world. What influence
could a shiftless person have
on the world? Absolutely
none. The world has no
respect for a lazy Christian.
The other reason why they
should work was so they
would not be dependent upon
the brethren. They were to
provide for their own needs by
their own labor.
God has called us to
'holiness and that requires
separation from all impurity, ^

In
Loving
Memory of
Marvin
I Sf
a
Blue
March 26, 1978 on Easter
Sunday at 7:00 p.m., we the
Blue family lost someone very
dear to us. It has already been
4 years since he departed. Bat
remember it as though it was
yesterday. We the family still
remember him a very warm "
and fun loving man, that
always offered us help when
we needed a hand.
Yes, Marvin was a great
man he never grumbled or
worried about one single
thing because he always held
his head up high as though be
could see the world from a
different point of view, than
what we always seen it. Bat in
his heart he knew this was
true because he knew exactly
what to do in a time at trouble '
and need.
Those at you that have a
Iftving father or grandfather J
please don't wait until it's too '
late to express your gratitude
at love towards him, do it now
while he is with you.
Written by members of the
family. P.S. We still love you /
very much.
