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!
Let me hear from you. Would you like
to publicly share your New Year's
Resolutions with us? If so, please write
them down and send them to us here and
give us permission to use your name.
That's helpful...to declare your resolu
tions publicly. We will keep this offer
open through January 13, 1983.

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

17 Cars Jump Tracks
