Sth at the newest member of the Pembroke State University Board of Trustees. Mr. Hammonds was appointed by Governor Jim Hunt to finish the term of the late Harotd B. Wynn. The term will empire June 30. 1961. Mr. Hammonds was born and reared in the Back Swamp Township and has dedicated his entire life to making that area and the whole of the county a better place to live. Mr. Hammonds attended Green Grove Elementary School, Fairmont Indian High Sihool, and graduated from Cherokee Indian Normal School in 1935. In 1937 he became a graduate of Chero kee Indian Normal School where he received a two- year degree that allowed him to become a teacher. He began teaching in his native com munity at Green Grove School which he had attended as a boy. On the 6th of April, 1942, he joined the United States Army and served 14'/i months in the Panama Canal where he was assigned to the chaplain. A firm believer in prayer, Mr. Hammonds recalled join ing hands with the others boys in the unit and praying and singing. "It has always been my belief," he said, "that if you die for the right thing, you haven't lost. So we would have service and pray and sing just like we would do back at my church. Reedy Branch Baptist Church." At the conclusion of his tour of duty, Mr. Hammonds re turned home and continued to teach at Green Grove. He received his B.S. Degree in 1948 from Pembroke State College (now University) and continued the teaching profes sion. He served in the county system for 35 years giving all those years of service to Green Grove School, most of the time as a 5th grade teacher. Mr. Hammonds served un der the principalships of Mr. Carlee Lowry, Mr. Joe Sampson, Mr. Calvin Lowry, Mr. Jason Lowry, Mr. Robert Hunt, Mr. Kalph Hunt, and the late Mr. Adna V. Lowry under whoae principalship he retired in 1972. Said Mr. Hammonda when questioned about the teaching profession, "I just love work ing with young people. After all, they are our doctors, lawyers, etc. of tomorrow. In fact, without them we would have no tomorrows. Working with young people is the greatest joy of my life. They keep me in line. I would never do any thing to disappoint any of the young people I know. 1 can't explain how I feel when 1 meet one of my former students and he shows me a photograph of his family. Or he tells me how things are going with him. It is such a humble feeling to know that I may have had a small part in making their lives richer and fuller." Hammonds s previously served on the K m' roke State College Board of T ustees for two terms. He Mled the vacancy of J.I ?. Brooks. When asked hov he was chosen to serve in this posi tion, he said, "1 really don't know. I guess someone found out what I stood for and wanted my services there." In reference to his present appointment, he said, "I know people won't believe this, but I didn't know anything about being considered for appoint ment until 1 was asked if I would serve." Mr. Hammonds continued ? "1 believe that a person will be held accountable for what he does. And most important ly, if there is something that he should do and he refuses to do it, he is even more responsible. 1 believe that a person cannot serve God with out being of service to man kind." Living a life that bears out his beliefs, Hammonds, a life time member of Reedy Branch Baptist Church, served for 20 years as clerk for the same church. He recently stepped down from that position to allow a young man to become clerk. Said he, "1 believe in young people. I think we need to step down sometime and give them an opportunity to serve." In addition, he has , v been a member of the Deacon Board since 1940 and serves presently as secretary of that board. He has served for 32 | years as clerk of the Burnt Swamp Baptist Union, the quarterly meeting of the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association. In addition to his school work and church work, Ham monds has worked with the Boy Scouts and the Royal Ambassadors, a church affili ated organization for young boys. He is married to the former Leitha Hunt and they have one son, Marcus Deane Ham monds who is a member of the North Carolina Highway Patrol, serving in Anson County. Mr. and Mrs. Hammonds reside quitely in their home in the Reedy Branch area where Mr. Hammonds spends his time since retirement quietly and humbly serving others, especially the young people. Because of his dedication to mankind, and to youth in general, the Reedy Branch area has become a far better place for people to live, as indeed the entire area has. ? m Teachers In, Out Of Jails A Dayton, Ohio, judge freed 34 jailed teachers and then took charge of teacher coo tract talks, while a judge in Connecticut sent 47 more striking Bridgeport teachers to jail. Common Pleas Judge Carl Kessler Tuesday ordered all striking Dayton school work ers and the school board back to the negotiating table today under his supervision. About 90 percent of the dis trict's 2,200 teachers have been on strike since Sept. 6 . and have bt&P joined by unions representing custodi ans, cafeteria workers and secretaries. Kesslcr also released the 34 teachers who were jailed ear ly Tuesday when they ignored his ban on mass picketing near schools. "I feel there's a favorable environment for a settlement or I wouldn't be doing this," Kessler said. "There's a good probability it (the strike) could be resolved by Friday." There was no such similar optimism in Connecticut where Superior Court Judge James Henebry Tuesday or dered 47 more Bridgeport teachers jailed in contempt of his back-to-work order, bring ing the total jailed since last week to 182. He found 83 other teachers in contempt and could sen tence them to jail today. Contract negotiations to end the strike by 1,250 teachers in Connecticut's largest city were to resume today. In Cleveland, where a strike by 10,000 teaching and non academic employees began Sept 7, Common Pleas Judge Harry A. Hanna summoned school board and teacher union officials to bis cham bers today. Hanna has refused to order teachers back to work, saying that school officials haven't shown the strike caused irrr pernble harm He has ordered the school system to find money for a pay increase, something the teachers haven't had for two years. The six striking Cleveland unions seek a 20 percent raise. Starting pay for teach crs is $9,100. with the average pay of a Cleveland teacher is $14,873. The Cleveland school system needed an emergency $20.7 million stale loan to open schools this fall. Terms of the loan bar the school system Imm tapping the funds for raises.
