THURSDAY, DECEMNB 39, 1993 NEW YEAR ^ RESOLUTIONS! | Resolutions. We make diem and, usually forget them as soon aa the new season wears off. Mostly we are creatures of habit. But 1 would like to share mine with you this year, simply because a public declaration might make me more careful in being resolute about my resolutions. I want the Carolina Indian Voice to become financially solvent. I am tired of being on the public doles in a sense, you know, I sell you an ad and collect for it before the sun goes down. I want to be more professional in my dealings with the public and the business comm^ity. Having said that, here are the resolutions for the Carolina Indian Voice: 1. Solvency for the Carolina Indian Voice. This means living within a budget and selling more subscriptions and advertising. I vow to you that we will increase our paid subscriptions from "less than 2000" to "more than 5000" by Dec. 31. 1983. WiH you help me keep from making a public fool of myself? Subscribe! Advertise! 2. Have a successfuly Ten Year Anniversary- We don't have much time left to accomplish this. Our speciaT anniversary edition in January 20, and our Ten Year Celebration is January 22, 1983. And 1 have 2000 copies of my book AN INDIAN MANIFESTO. Bruce Bar ton's Best of As I See it to sell. Help! See elsewhere in this issue on how you can help us keep this resolution. 3. And the Carolina Indian Voice vows to make Robeson County a better place for all of us to live and work and play in. 4. And the Carolina Indian Voice wants to see some of our disgraceful city school units dismantled. We only need one school system in the county, although some of us would settle for two if Lumberton would move her school unit back to her city limits and stay there and promise never to try to gobble up the rest of us. 5. And peace and fulfillment to all. Robeson County should be an exciting place to grow in. If not, we ought to get busy eradicating some of the societal problems that keep us from doing so. AND MY PERSONAL RESOLUTIONS 1. 1 Bruce Barton resolutely declare that I will be kinder, gentler, less afraid of public scorn. And that I will try, at least one time a day, to do someone a good turn and not get found out. - 2. And resolutely promise to pray for someone I do not like at least one time a day. 3. 1 resolutely declare that 1 will be faithful to my church-Deep Branch Baptist Church-knowing very well that I have not been so in the past. I vow, if God allows my health to continue, to attend Sunday morning and evening services, Wednesday night prayer ser vices and. every conference and gather ing called by "my church." I believe it is good for us to be faithful to "our church." 4.1 declare resolutely that I will devote more time to my family, knowing that the family structure is the center piece of American life. 5. I resolutely vow to read "at least five chapters of the Bible a day," knowing that this will lead me through the Bible before the year is out. If one reads the Bible prayerfully and medi tates and asks God for understanding one must become stronger in the Faith, j understanding more, expecting less from L Adam's Flock. 6. And...oh. this one hurts!... 1 am 1 going to quit smoking now, this moment ? (I quit the night of December 28, 1982.).^j Smoking is life robbing, no doubt about~T it. Ask any doctor, medical person, | anyone over the age of maybe five. That k smoke goes inside your heart's chambeT, j cooking the inner walls. But 1 have smoked "as long as 1 can remember." Maybe it is a psychological matter. Maybe I do not like myself. But, no matter how much I beg, do not give me a cigarette. I QUIT SMOKING! 7. And 1 am going to strive for financial solvency personally. 1 am tired of being poor. One becomes comfortable with poverty. I am ready to be uncomfortable. , I DECLARE FINANCIAL SOLVENCY!

[David Malcolm photo] by David Malcolm Proapect-Children attending the Prospect Head Start Cen j cr got an early Christmas last Tuesday . Dec. 21 as they were visited by 37 members of Company B, 2nd 505th Infan try located at Fort Bragg. The soldiers brought with them plenty of toys to distri bute among the children at the center, and with few exceptions the children *^ere 1 delighted. Each child was paired with a soldier who spent the morning playing with the child^and his new gift. While some seemed timid about their new friend, most accep ted him right away. "They come in and really take over with the children." said Mrs. Jane Sampson, one of the center's five staff workers, in speaking of the group from Ft. Bragg. "We don't have a thing to do." Indeed most of the soldiers seemed right at home around the children, all of whom are either four or five years old. It was not unusual to see a child and his soldier friend sitting on the floor together working on a jigsaw puzzle, or over in the corner talking. Some of the children wanted to try on the soldiers' maroon beret, worrf by all members of the famed 82nd Airborne Divisi on. "Though only 37 of us came down todhy, this came throu gh the efforts of everyone in Company B.," said 1LT. Mi chael Rizzo. OIC. "Everyone chipped in a dollar or two and wc bought and wrapped the toys, and brought them here.' Others in the group from Ft. Bragg included SSG Vin cent Roadinone*N?OIC, Sp4 Darrin J. Green.'
