The "Blue and Gold" Cub
Scout Banquet was held re
cently at the Pembroke Jaycee
Hut. Parents of the Cubs
provided an appetizing array
of food. The group prayer was
led by Mr. Oberon Lowry. An
unforgelable evening began
under the leadership of Mrs.
Wanda Sampson. Cub Master
and "Leader of the Pack."
Inspiring and emotional re
marks were made by Mr.
Theodore Maynor, represent
ing the Kiwanis Club, and a
very dedicated scout leader
himself.
The purpose of the banquet
was to celebrate the birthday
of Scouting all over the USA in
the month of February and to
present the Bob Cat Badge to
deserving young Cubs.
Den 1, under the leadership
of Mr. Frank Krenski and
assistant Mr. Jerry Cummings
both fathers of Cubs, made
posters to display the motto,
Law of the Pack, Cub Scout
Promise, and Salute. Mr.
Krenski also explained the
"Purpose of Scouting" to the
parents. He also challenged
every parent present to keep
the program a successful one.
Mr. Randolph Eddings,
Den Leader 3, and his assis
tant and wife, Mrs. Katherine
Eddings, parents of a Cub,
guided their den to perform
the flag ceremony which prov
ed quite a highlight of the
evening. Mr. Eddings re
marked "How proud our
community must be to have
these young guys future lead
ers in our great country."
Den 4 and 5 have joined
their weekly meetings to ac
comodate many working pa
rents. Den 4 has another
mother-father team, Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Locklear and
Den 5, Mrs. Sylvia Webster,
also a mother of a young Cub.
Both of these dens have been
busy making invitations, place
mats, and decorations for the
Blue and God Banquet. Other
activities by the dens included
art projects, Valentines for
parents, games and movies
enphasizing citizenship and
respect for others.
The month of March the
dens are involved in makinag
derby cars under the supervi
sion of parents and den
leaders.
The April Pack Meeting will
be an exciting combination
derby race and registration for
new and old Cub Scouts.

MAGNOLIA
Mr. and Mrs. Luther Bell. Mr. and Mrs Huey Chavis. Mr and
Mrs. Ray Brewer and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Emanuel were among
those who gathered at the Robeson County Board of Education
Tuesday night. The atmosphere was tense as Mr Pumell Swett.
Superintendent of Robeson County Schools, read a somewhat
lengthy report which, in a nut shell, presented a refusal from the
board members to accepted the so-called Herndon Petition which
was presented to the board at a previous meeting. The petition
supposedlv represented 1000 or more signatures saying that they
wanted the Parkton School to be allowed to pull out of Robeson
County and join with the St. Pauls City System. This effort was not
permitted. I say it is about time. I cannot imagine the report I would
be writing had this decision gone another way.
Well, the Bond Issue passed-even with only approximately I*
percent of the voters going out to cast their vote.
Let's face it. folks, we needed the money. What happens now is
yet to be seen.
SADDLETREE JAYCEES
It stands to reason that if anything or anyone gives up and doesn't
do anything they soon cease to be. This can happen to clubs before
anyone really realizes what's going on This is not the case with the
Saddletree Jaycees.
I^et's talk facts for just a moment.
As of February the North Carolina Jaycees were still ranked
Number One in the United States.
The Saddletree Javcecs were the Jaycee Chapter of the Month in
February.
The Saddletree Javcees have moved up from a rating of the lower
thirties to a position in the Region.
These facts should tell us something ahoul the fine job these men
are doing.
A lot of this can he contributed to the leadership the club is
experiencing. Ronald Hammonds has been offering incentives to
motivate his members to action. One of these incentives is pictured
here along with these lucky Javcee members Left to right: John C
Revels. David locklear. Jackie Jones. Johnny Harris. Jr.. Jerry
Hammonds, and Billy Roach (not pictured)

REFLECTING....
As a final note this week I would like to share with you a few
memories from mv childhood
Back in the early AOs mv parents. Roscoe and Gretchen Wilkins.
moved to Baltimore. Md My dad just back from the way went
seeking his '?fortune" in the North, the land of plenty!
It wasn't long before others started coming to Baltimore also. Our
home became a temporary hotel for manv people Most of the time
thev were relatives- either nieces or nephews from my father's side
or neices and nephews from mv mother's side. Or sometimes they
were people who knew someone, who knew someone, who knew
someone who once long ago knew my grandparents But no matter
who thev were* if they were from "home." thev were welcome If
thev had no place to stay-thev stayed with us until thev found a
place-if thev needed money-some how mv parents would get it for
them. If thev were hungry, momma fed them-whatever their needs
my parents tried to help My mother especially became a Crusader
against the hardships Indians from home fK-ed in the concrete city.
I remember most of these people Some are dead and gone Some
went on to become verv prominent people- school teachers and
more. Now that all of this is in the past- there are many of these
people who never think ahout mv mom and dad Mavhe it is
because thev don't remember how it was hack then Mavhe it is
even possible that thev didn't know mv mom and dad live in North
Carolina now And mavhe that's why thev never find time to drop
hv and sav hello and share a few minutes with people who still love
them,
Mv mom puts great slock in people She sees no bad-look* only
for the good in the worst of u* This i* a God-given talent

TONY BLUE APPEALS DISTRICT COURT CONVICTION
LUMBERTON?An appeal of his conviction of drunk driving
and assaulting an officer has been filed by attorneys for Tony
Blue, a Robeson County Indian whose case has focused com
plaints from the Indian community about the allegedly brutal
treatment of some Lumbees at the hands of the N.C. Highway
Patrol.
Blue, who was convicted last week in district court here, was
arrested by Trooper E.G. Brown in January and spent the nest
II days in a Fayetteville hospital receiving treatment for es
tensive head injuries sustained after he was stopped by Brown.
Brown testified last week that he struck Blue in the bead with
a flashlight four or five times when the 260 pound, broad-shoul
dered Blue refused to be handcuffed and put in the patrol car.
Blue's rase intensified an unsettled controversy brtwocn the
Highwav Patrol, the Iajmbccs and the office of the stale's
Commissioner of Indian Affairs over the alleged brutal treat
ment of Indians at the hands of patrol troopers.
The controversey began with the arrest of Terry Lorkee last
year by Trooper R L. Davis. Lockee also was beaten, reported
ly for resisting arrest, after bo was stopped and arrested for
driving under the Influence lie was convicted In district court
and appealed to superior court. i
A Jury of seven Indians, three whiles and two blacks uphold
Lockev'x conviction when he was tried hi superior court two
weeks ago.
