Reader's Forum . , Moviaj Lumberton is not the answ county's problems or the drama's Editor at the W'^l?!& m a professional manner Should 1 believe that only the people in Lumberton can deal with "Strike at the Wind" in a proicsxional manner'.' It is a rftame that the town of Pembroke did act get together and built restaurants and mote Is, and teall) get behind "Strike at the Wind." 1 heard some people say the drama will draw more people if it is closer to Interstate 9S.lhave one thing to aay to those people: GET REAL* If you do something right and promote it in the right way, no matter where it is. people will come. Just wait, if the drama moves to Lumberton, you will see sigas up and down 1-95. You will hear about it on tv and read about it ia the newspapers. You will hear about all the mooey it is making But it will all be going into the pockets of people in Lumberton. I think back to how hard some of us worked that first season. I think about all those people who have crossed over to the other side who were associated with "Strike st the Wind." How would they react to hear that , something they worked so hard for is being moved to Lumberton? I can't understand . Some of the things we let go of are the things we should hang on to. And the things we should let go to. we hang on to Is it because we are ashamed of our past? Or is it our people? SwNlSe ?^y k^^TihSSS want to think I was right. I wanted to be wrong uise it is like the good book says To a fool Ms way of thiakiiigiaan^ But a wise man seeks counsel lam always asking otters whai they think It is sad torn. bat afnud^fw^^Tk^JTawLk I values of our ancestors The greatest thing ki Iting our people ism* drugsor disease, it isapathy. We doat care anyanre. We don't care about what our children doon Sunday Or where they go. When it comes to a cause, we would rather walk in the shadow of a man. ihan in the light of the Almighty Some of our people use leadership positions just to gat what they can for themselves They doa't care. Why? Because the Almighty is not first tn their life l know toa degree we are all selfish, but tfwe put our life m Older, we could make a better fbture for those to coom. I think about the North Carolina Indian Cultural Center project and how a few people have stood in the way of its progress. I keep asking why Marie my words, time will be the victor oat his issue. You can stand m the way of many things for quite a while, but you can not stand in the way of right forever. Think about it. The Cultural Center would give our young and our old a place to go and sit and talk It would be a puce to share our heritage. Our young would learn of I is true thai we we soS^numme thing s r ight.

We CHii overcome anything,even iii bad press we received e couple of weeks ago I feel sorry for those two young men who allowed a few hours to destroy their hvee. ! also believe that if every church in Robeson County would fasrfere day, lift every drag dealer's name up \ in prayer, then would ba ao drug problem^mjkobesoii County Cr who called a praywmeeting because there had been no ram for quite a while The thing that impressed me a as thai they brought their raincoat with them as a sign of their frith.

I would like to conclude with a challenge to all the churches in Robeson County. Let's frst for one day and take tte fottowimtSuoday and pray all the bad out ofRobetoo County.

We need access to them la this age of bureaucratic copies of records of birth, death, marriage or divorce. An application for benefits from the Veterans Admiaistratkm or Social Security, a passport or marriage license requires not only the information in the records but usually copies of the records All these records are stored permanently by municipalities, counties, states and the Federal J government We all know this, but where each document is kept is frequently unknown The Consumer Education Research Center, a national aon profit consumer group, found there was little uniformity on where the records were available and the costs. In some states, birth records are kept by the city and in others by the county or state To further complicate matters, often older records are held in different places than current ones. In additioo. the addresses where the records are kept > fee changed qtrtte ofeq* The ooiiiamer group found many people bed difficulty in locating the record* they seeded.
