CARNELL LOCKLEAR
ADVANCES TO
STATE LEVEL IN
SPEAK UP
COMPETITION
< > *
Randall Jones, left, president of the
Pembroke Javcees, presents speak-up
award to Carnell Locklear.
The up-coming weekend will be an
important one for Jaycee member, Camell
Locklear as he travels to Greensboro to
compete in the state soeak-up competition.
But Mr. Locklear feels confident about the
event though he will oe competing against
twentv other men from all over the state of
N.C.
To get this far, Mr. Locklear had to win
the area E speak-up award and then the
regional speak-up aw rd Perhaps holding
these two honors would help to instill a
certain bit of confide s in any man, not
excluding Mr. Locklc t.
i\tm
Also, considering the great amount of
experience he's had in the area of voice, it's
no wonder Mr. Locklear is not too worried
about this weekend.
Such experience includes that of playing
the role of Boss Strong in the outdoor
drama, "Strike at the Wind!". He is also
lead singer of a seven-member all-Indian
band entitled "TRYBE." (Anyone
wishing to use the very versatile
"TRYBE" group may do so by contacting
Mr, LoeWear at 521-2811.)
Though Mr. Locklear has been a member
of the Pembroke Jaycees for only one year,
he has already been chairman of
approximately five projects, has been
Javcee of the month, and Jaycee of the
quarter. To add to this list of outstanding
qualities, only one other Pembroke Jaycee
has gone this far in the speak-up awards.
Mr. Locklear relays his feelings about the
Jaycees when he says, "I love being a
Jaycee for many reasons: for the good
feeling it gives me uuide, for the fact that I
get to meet people from all aspects of life
who are concerned about. their
communities, and for being involved in
such worthwhile projects are just a few
reasons."
In the state competition Mr. Locklear will
speak on "Service to Humanity is the Best
Way of Life." And it is hoped bv his fellow
Jaycee members that he will once again
walk away with the honors.

Town Council
Meets
I
The Pembroke Town Council met
Monday night and considered a number of
items, including a request from CP & L for
a substation in the general area of the new,
proposed Pembroke Elementary School,
Cable TV and sundry other items.
The council heard from Councilmen
Monroe Lowry and Lee Neville, who had
been appointed by Mayor Reggie
Strickland to look into the request bv CP &
L concerning a substation near the new
Pembroke Elementary School site.
Neither Lowrv or Neville voiced any
opposition to the proposal by CP & L. Both
concurred that it probably would improve
service in the general Pembroke area. Both
also noted that CP & L's substation would
not interfere with the new school site and
that CP & L intended to beautify the area
with shrubbery.
But the council, as Town Manager
McDuffie Cummings recommended,
seemed to indicate that it would be in the
best interest of the town to annex the area.
Action was deferred in the matter and the
council decided to approach Mrs. Ruth
Stone, the property owner of the
approximate eight acre plot and see if she
would be interested in petitioning the
council to be taken into the town's limits.
CABLE TV ACTION NEAR*
The council also discussed the proposed
cable t.v. application from N.C. Cable
T V.. Inc.
The council deferred action on the matter
until some minor revisions could be made
in the proposed contract between the town
and the cable t.v. company, primarily
concerning the strengthening of the
language whereby the town would have
free use of one channel for public
announcements and special projects
OTHBH MATTERS Of INTEREST

that he is not in the corporate limits. He
asked to have his property annexed or
