by Connee Broyboy
Albert Hammond* of the
Reedy Branch area (Route 6,
Lumberton) was sworn in
Sept. 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.

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.

APPRECIATION DINNER
Saturday night was a
special time for Church and
Community Center workers
especially those of us who
have known Bob and Neila
Mangum through the years. I
had not realized that, through
V
his mission as he sees it. Bob
had touched so many lives in
so many different directions.
One testimonial touched me
especially. Betty Johnson Ro
berts told how "Mr. Man gum,
as her pastor, had been there
"when she needed someone."
