:? STRIKE AT WIND!' WILL
SURVIVE, NO DOUBT
?: ABOUT IT!
The county commissioners
;? wted thumbs down Monday
t, "jght to *n appeal for help
'-bam 'Strike at the Wind!',
the popular outdoor drama
?bout Henry Berry Lowrie,
?nd the tri-racial cast of
characters surrounding him
during those Civil War days
when he taught the Indians
to feel good about them
selves.
ft is interesting that the
two Indians-Wyvis Oxen dine
and Jack Morgan-voted to
help the financially belea
gured drama, while the
whites and the solitary black
on the board voted "no." I
could live with that, but the
two commissioners I talked
to said they were going to
voto "no" because some of
their Indian supporters were
opposed to helping 'Strike at
the Wind!' I find that hard to
believe. Anyway, as they say
in political parlance, Indians
now have long memories. I
hope they will remember
that Bill Heradon, Carl Britt,
H-T. Taylor and Henry Dou
giaa voted "no." Of course,
in America, they have a right
to y^nysy thajrhnut 1st- ^
^otoa'^SFave '
reiWib?C they voted
Md'hct accordingly when
voting time toils around
I .'wonder if they would
have been so callous if it had
been the Civic Center, or
some other non-Indian entity
?PP??ling for help. Am I
cynical? You bet I am. If
'Strike at the Wind!' were
condescending to Indians,
its chances for help would
increase proportionately. As
I serf it, 'Strike at the Wind!'
will be around a lot longer
than some of the politicians
wtxracted so callously Mon
day-night Racism is still
flourishing in Robeson Cou
nty; the only difference is
that' it is more civil than it
used to be. Politicians don't
cryrfnigger" or "croatan"
so .'easily anymore; they
refuse to help financially.
Mv;-hope is that every
politician who voted "no"
Monday night will receive
the same answer at ? the
polling places next time
around.' Strike at the Wind!'
encourages tri- racial coop
eration, and that's not in
vogue in Robeson County.
DW/GHTLO WRY FILLS
THE GAP FOR THE
DETROITnGERS
For the last nine of ten
games, Dwight Lowry has
been filling the gap for the
Detroit Tigers as catcher
while Lance Parrish is recu
perating from back prob
lems. And Dwight, the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin
Lowry of Pembroke, has
been performing admirably.
According to stats in the
August 4 issue of the
Sporting New Dwight Low
ry is batting .353 through
games of July 24.
Dwight was the "star of
the game" recently in a
game in which he cracked a
three run homer. More than
this, Dwight has not commit
ted an error and has handled
the pitchers faultlessly while
filling in. It means probably
that Dwight has assured
himself a place on the roster
fobMktyebr at a hefty raise
tonUiyt' v - ?
Dwight Lowry is a wobd^r
flrt role model for 'Trtir
children, and I am happy for
him. He is also my hero, and
I wish him continued success
in the big leagues.

CHARLIE PERRY S
PASSING WITH SADNESS
I liked Charlie Perry
very much, and I note his
passing with sadness. He
was a nice guy, and we
shared many a cup of
coffee and conversation. His
heart was in Pembroke, and
I liked to hear him tell about
his days as a cotton broker
with Pates Supply Company.
Charlie lived in Pembroke
because he sincerely liked
the people, and of, course, it
was home to him.
Funeral services for Mr.
Charles F. Perry, Sr. who
died on Wednesday, July 30,
were held at 11 a.m. Friday
I
m
at the Philadelpbua Presoy
terian Church with the He v.
Ben Bass officiating. Burial
followed in the church cem
etery.
Survivors:his wife, Mrs.
' Elsie Perry of Pembroke;
one son, Mr. Charles F.
Beny Jr., of Wingate; one
| sister, Mrs. William E.
Armstrong of Chester, SC
I and three grandchildren.
| The family requests that
in lieu of flowers contribu
tions be made to the Pem
broke Rescue Unit or to a
favorite charity. The family

' July 31, from 7 to 9 p.m.
Pallbearers: Jim Paul,

strain. This condition is always the result of
trauma (injury) and can be very serious becauae
the joints that are sprained are surrounded by all
the nerves of the neck. Symptoms vary from
headaches and neck pain to blurry vision,
radiating pain in the arms, low back pain,
nervousness and depression.
Your Doctor of Chiropractic

examining and treating neck _
sprain injuries.

Dear Editor.
1 read with regret in the
Carolina Indian Voice that
former Governor James Hols
houser was elected Chair
man of the North Carolina
In<tie4 Cultural Center, a
non-Indian that does not
recognize Indian tradition or
culture.
As a North Carolina pri
soner housed at Eastern
Correctional Center, I can
tell you that the traditional
and cultural rights of Indian
prisoners in this state have
been and are being denied.
1 read about the recognized
tribes and organizations in
the state, but North Carolina
does not recognize any Indi
an tradition or culture.
lM? department of t^oi
rection doesn't even have a
religious policy for Native
American faiths. Remem
ber, when Mr. Holshouser
was Governor, he did noth
ing to fonnplate a policy for
Native Americans, just as
Governor James G. Martin
is S nothing. Incarcerat
ed Native Americans in this
state, as it now stands, can't
even have beads, feathers,
and other artifacts that are
essential to the traditions
and culture of any Native
American. ?.
The costumes and movie
set props used in the filming
of the mini-series Roanoke
were a waste of money; I for
one would just as soon forget
about Sir John White's
arrival 400 years ago. It sure
was a dark day for Indians.
Hie movie says nothing
about Indian culture. Most
of the Indians in North
Carolina know nothi'ig about
their own culture or tradi
tions, and knowing what
kind of people run th>
Commission of Indian Af
fairs, I can see why.
I for one have been asking
for support for the Eastern
Spiritual/Cultural Council of
Native Nations for four years
now, and the only support I
have received comes from
outside the state. Where ore
North Carolina's 65,000 In
dians?

Expreeeoi Appreciation for
Sen. Devid PvrmD
Dear Editor
I am using this letter to
express my appreciation to
the voters of Robeson Coun
ty for sending a man of
David Parnell's caliber to the
General Assembly. Many of
you are familiar with the way
some of the leadership of the
General Assembly has mis
used the budgetary process.
In recent years, major legis
lative changes have been put
in the budget bill without
giving the rank and file
elected representatives of
the people the opportunity to
fully and adequately debate
the issues in public hearings
and on the floor of the
General Assembly.
Senator Parneil has been
one of the key leaders in
taking steps to call a halt to
this undemocratic practice.
I continue to be impressed
with Senatpr Parneil's in
iMMWUMKWhWIMMrUWn
tegrity, competency and
courage.
I have personally thanked
Senator Parnell for the
stands he has been willing to
take in the General Assem
bly, and I take this oppor
tunity to thank the voters of
Robeson County for their
good judgment in sending
him to Raleigh.
Sincerely,
John C. Brooks

with the home and
parents, physical therapy,
physical education, speech
therapy, and they have a full
time nurse. Much of the
work is with autistic chil
dren, requiring one on one
work. There are 38 children,
ages three to 23. Three of
the more trainable were able
to eam their diplomas this
year as high school gradu

them by Supt. Swett. There
snip between the physical
therapist and the physical
education department as
many children need all kinds
of treatment dealing with

transportation difficulties for
the handicapped. The lea
ders are trained in special

oooa advice for allergy sufferers
Chronic asthma is serious. An untreated young-II
ster, for example, may wind up with p/iysica/1
iceafcness, personality problems, heart damage,U
as well as disabling lung disease. Competitive!
sports are usually ruled out (or them, and "no,"]
they don't always outgrow their asthmatic con-!
ditions.
Allergy can hit anyone. At any age. House dust,II
dog hair, ragweed pollen, or a host of other aller-1
gens may stimulate your body's production of 1
histamines. This is why antihistamine-containing I
remedies can relieve congestion, rashes, sneez-||
ing and itchy eyes.
