ROBESON SAVINGS & LOAN
APPLICATION FOR PEMBROKE
BRANCH POSTPONED
PROBABLY WILL BE HELD SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY
The hearing scheduled for December 15,
1977 concerning an application to establish
a branch office in Pembroke by Robeson
Savings and Loan Association has been
posponed until "probably sometime in
February, 1978," according to a letter
received from W.L. Cole, administrator for
the Savings and Loan Division of the North
Carolina Department of Commerce
If the branch office is established in
Pembroke, it will have to receive approval
from the savings and loan division's board
of commissioners.
According to Cole, the application
hearing was postponed "... because we
(the savings and loan division) did not have
the time to complete our investigation and
still get the information to the
commissioners for their consideration."
The postponement means that the savings
and loan division has set back the date
whereby individuals may express an
opinion on the matter.
Those wishing to express an opinion ot
the matter may write:
State of North Carolina
SAVINGS AND LOAN DIVISION
Post Office Box M-27945
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611
A sampling of opinion by the Carolina
Indian Voice shows that the majority of
those polled are against the application
request by Robeson Savings and Loan
Association.
Read-A-Thon
Winner
"Blessed is he that readeth...."
Revelations 1:3. "He that reads
leads." Both of these quotes
describe Raymond Cochise
Clark, the eleven year old son of
Ms. Adore Clark and Raymond
D. Clark.
Cochise is the winner of the
Multiple Sclerosis Read-a-Thon
drive at Pembroke Elementary
School where he is a fifth grade
student Each participant in the
read-a-thon was asked to read as
many books as he could during
the month of October. He was
also asked to find sponsors who
would pay him for each book he
read. After collecting his money,
he mailed it to the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society. A
winner was chosen from each
participating school.
Cochise, as a school winner,
received a twenty-five dollar
United States Savings Bond, a
Read-a-Thon T-Shirt, and a
Read-a-Thon patch. Greater than
all these is the wealth of
knowledge that shall sustain
Cochise throughout life as a
reader and a leader.
Assistant Principal Wade Hunt presents savings bond to Cochise.
