The Pink Hill Review \ "Serving Pink Hill, Deep Run, Albertson, Beulaville, And Their Surrounding Areas" ' VOL. 5 NO. 34 KENANSVILLE, NC 28349 AUGUST 25,1983 Chamber Membership Drive Thirty volunteers of the Kin st on/Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce membership council gathered at King's Restau rant recently to kick off the second phase of a drive for new members during 1983. Membership vice-presi dent Donald Joyner of Se^vi tex, called upon the group to "let people know that the Chamber is the most active voice for business in the Lenoir County area. This year the Chamber has been extremely active, and every business should want to become part of it." Woodmen of the World's John Wetherington, himself a relatively new member, spoke to the group about his impression of the Chamber. "Before I joined," said Wetherington, "I really didn't know what it does. Now I believe that the Chamber is one of our county's strongest assets and every business should be an active member." The Chamber presently has 487 members, the largest number in its 5) year his tory. There are 16 active committees and an office staff of three. The member ship council's goal for the month-long drive is 63 new members and the effort is led by Captains Joe Creech of Branch Bank, Jesse Parks of Wheat First Securities, Bob Spencer of Wachovia Bank Frances Parrott of First Citi zens Bank, and Reuben Davii of Davis Wholesale Tire. Davis challenged the group to make as many contacts as they can because "to date we have only scratched the surface." Joyner concluded by add ing that manpower is simply not sufficient to personally visit every business in the county. Those who would like to know more about the Chamber should call 527-1131 and a volunteer will make a personal visit, he said.

Roebuck is a Hallsville resident. He has lived in Hallsville about 18 months with his wife Gertrude Miller Roebuck, a Duplin native. After their marriage in Jack sonville, the Roebucks moved to South Carolina, where the book "The Trail of a Tramp" was written. "The book was written for the message it contains," Buck Roebuck, author of "Trail of a Tramp," said. "Many alcoholics are trying to escape realitv and the responsibilities of life. They use booze as a crutch to help them forget their problems. And, the problems which started off small multiply as they continue to drink." First-hand knowledge from his experience as an alcoholic provides Roebuck an insight into the fears of every stage of alcoholism, he explained. "A lot of them want help but they are too proud to admit their needs." Roebuck said. "I can relate to every stage of alcoholism because I've been there. More than anything. 1 want to let them (alcohohcs) know they are loved and someone does care about their life. "I have brought alcoholics into my home and worked with them. And, I want to try to offer spiritual guidance as well as physical rehabilita tion. The home 1 want to establish will offer alcoholics a chance to overcome their fears and anxiety about so ciety before they leave. It will not be just a detoxification center. Often times 1 think if someone had shown an interest in my welfare I might have been a different person," Roebuck said. Roe buck plans to work toward establishing a rehabilitation center similar to the alcoholic home at Lake Wacamaw. The home will be self-supporting from the sale of furniture and crafts the residents make. Roebuck said. Also, he added, residents grow much of the home's food. In addi tion to counseling services at the center. Roebuck plans to provide educatinr programs for the residents. "1 want to help those who are in the condition I was once in as an alcoholic," Roebuck said. "1 was at the point of death; doctors had told me they could no longer help me and out of despera tion, 1 turned to God." Since the publication of his book, j Roebuck has been appearing at churches and other re- ? ligious organizations. Two weeks ago Roebuck spoke at < the Rose Hill Pentecostal 1 Free Will Baptist Church and he plans a trip to South Carolina in November to ad dress the Full Gospel Busi nessmen Conference. A copy of his book is in the Dorothy Wightman Library in Kenansville and the town library in Rose Hill. "My books have sold ex ceptionally well in this area and anywhere 1 speak," Roebuck said. He is acting as publisher and distributor for the book. "I am looking forward to some national attention for the book, be cause the more publicity the book has, the more copies will be sold and the more funds generated for building the alcoholic rehabilitation home." According to Roebuck, proceeds from the sale of "The Trail of a Tramp" are deposited in the Buck Roebuck non-profit corporation, Step of Faith, Inc.. for the purpose of funding the rehabilitation center. Roebuck is acting as president of the corporation, Grady Bingham of Morehead City, vice-president, and Beatrice Quinn of Beulaville. secretary-treasurer. In the future. Roebuck said, a Board of Directors will be appointed. "1 can't do it alone. Roebuck said. "The coopera tion of everyone in Duplin County will be needed to establish the rehabilitation center." Roebuck said he welcomed help from the local citizens or business and industry con cerned with the problems of alcoholism and wishing to participate in the founding of a rehabilitation center.
