Other top PSU additions from high
school are Melanie Hinton, freshman
from Fayetteville who was No. 1 at
South View High School, and Revonda
Lowery, freshman from Pembroke who
played No. 1 for Pembroke Senior High.
That school just started women’s tennis
last year.
PEMBROKE--On the wall in his
pastor's office at First Baptist Church
on Second Street in Lumberton. Dr.
E.B. Turner has a sign which says:
the church come alive. You were
helping people.”
‘‘I ask why doesn.f somebodvd"’
something -and then i realize I am
somebody.”
The Day Care Center at the church
started in 1959. making the First Baptist
Church what Dr. Turner termed “the
oldest Day Care Center in Robeson
County.” It is open to ail races. The
church bus even picks up children just
outside the city limits.
In his work in day care, Dr. Turner
attended numerous workshops and
seminars to acquaint himself more with
day care work. He learned about
Revonda Lowery
Debbie Hernandez, freshman from
Fayetteville Terry Sanford, played No. 1

“Melanie is a left-hander, which is to
her advantage, and plays a strong

"Revonda is good at the net, hits her
strokes well, just a matter of experience
for her.”
And so it is with the ‘‘Ministry crf Day
Care," a topic on which he spoke at
Pembroke State University Monday
afternoon. His audience was a Child
Welfare Class of PSD students.
The Day Care Center started with 12
children enrolled for a maximum cost of
$3 a day, which included a hot lunch.
Some scholarships for children were
provided from the church’s mission
fund.

guidelines. He is now corresponding
secretary of the N.C. Day Care
Association. All this impressed on Dr.
Turner to have a “quality day care
center” where a child is not only looked
after but also learns skills to help him
get a head start in school.

In explaining how he was converted to
becoming a strong advocate for day
care, the towering minister painted a
picture that is evident in many churches
today.
‘‘Then I learned that the Department
of Social Services of Robeson County
was interested in working with mothers
of children, particularly one-parent
families. 1 went to the Department of
Social Services, told them about our
facilities and asked if there was any way
in which they would like to walk along
with us,” said Dr. Turner.This is where
he met Mrs. Valera M. Bissett, now a
PSU instructor of sociology who invited
Dr. Turner to speak to' this Child
Welfare Class.
In his challenge to PSU students, Dr.
Turner urged them to help to establish a
Robeson County Day Care Association
so “all day care workers, agencies and
institutions can meet to share ideas and
goals.”
The Oxendine School PTA will hold
its first meeting on Tuesday. October 5,
at 7:30 p.m.

■‘In 1959 our church was renovated
and remodeled," he said, ‘‘and was
made into what we now-look upon as a
completely new church. The days after
we completed the renovation, I walked
through the church and noticed all of
the unused rooms and space. All of
those rooms that were pretty and
painted wore a!! locked up.
Arrangements were made whereby the
Department of Social services “pur
chased” space used at the First Baptist
Church for day care.
He also predicted that within 8-10
years there will be public day care
centers Just as there are now public
kindergartens. “Too many empty
school buildings are present today, left
that way because of the consolidation of
schools, etc. It hurts me every time I
pass a school which taxes paid for and
which is not being used.” he em
phasized.
There will be several presentations
explaining the extra instructional pro
grams that are offered at the school.
After the presentation there will be an
Open House for all the parents.
Refreshments will be served. The
public is cordially invited to attend.

“It then dawned upon me,” he said,
“to make the church wuat we call a
seven-days-a-week church, which every
church should be. I went to our Board of
Deacons and recommended that we
organize and start a day care. I didn’t
know a thing about day care. All I knew
was we had a lot of room that ought to
be used. We co"'d keep the children,
and it would be a ministry to people
during the week--and i,. me that made
During the 1960’s. Dr, Turner said an
‘‘Industrial Revolution” hit Robeson
County because of the nujiber of
factories springing us here. Because of
the availability of jobs, parents needed
someone to keep their children while
they worked in the growing job market.
As a result, the First Baptist Church
Day Care Center grew rapidly. (Note: It
now has 57 children from 2-5 years old.
Each parent pays according to his or her
income).
The First Baptist Church also takes
‘‘special children” at its center, and Dr.
Turner extolled Special Education as a
wide-open field for college students.
‘‘At our church we address ourselves to
these children’s special problems and
find this most enriching,” he said.
Warrior
of the
Week
Reflecting on the growth of the Center,
Dr. Turner said: “I saw this ‘Industrial
Revolution’ as an opportunity for our
church to serve people. In so doing, we
were helping to provide them whatever
bles.sings or benefits there are in this
life or in after life.”
In discussing careers for PSU stu
dents. the minister pointed out, “Day
Care is one of the most filling and
re-filling and enjoyable careers. You
want to choose something in which you
can be happy and just love and enjoy. If
you are in a field you don’t like, stop!
Go to the registrar and drop it. Nothing
makes life, more meaningful than
helping those who can’t help them
selves.”
He obviously enjoys his walks through
a church which is humming with activity
as a day care center today...a real
seven-days-a-week church.
Travis Sampson was chosen
Pembroke Senior High’s War
rior of the Week following his
fine performance against a
tough Fairmont team. Direct
ing the offense from the
quarter back position. Travis
displayed excellent accuracy in
the passing department, com
pleting nine out of twelve for a-
total of 142 yards.One of those
nine passes was a nine yard
strike to Brian Oxendine for
one of Pembroke’s three touch
downs. Travis also ran for a
two point conversion. What
excited the partisan Pembroke
crowd, however, were Travis’
long, accurate passes to his
several receivers.
