Former Councilman ? -r Runs Again Lm Neville Lee Neville, a former town council man for the Town of Pembroke for four years from 1974-1977 has filed for a seat on the Town Council of Pembroke in the November 6th election. Mr. Neville has released the following statement: "I would like to thank the citizens of Pembroke for the support they have given me in the past elections and will greatly appreciate your support and vote on November 6th, 1979. "The Town of Pembroke is a rapidly growing town in its population, busi ness and industrial organization and the needs of the town of Pembroke are growing greater each year. In order to meet the growth of our town, we need good sound town government whereby we can meet these needs which involve theCitizensof our town in order to make the town of Pembroke a better place to live. "1 have been a citizen of the town of Pembroke sincethe first elected mayor. The Rev. C.E. Locklear and his elected council of Pembroke was the first elected town administration. They made improvements and set goals for our town. Every elected town administra tion of Pembroke has tried to make improvements in our town and 1, for one, appreciate those town officials of the past for the'improvements that they made and for setting new goals for the future of our town. "Today, we have many improve ments which have been made. We have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go in meeting the needs of our citizens. There is a great need for street improvement and drainage, and for taking sewer to areas of this town to people who have lived in this city for many years and still have no sewer facilities furnished by the town of Pembroke. I want to see the 201 Facilities which we have heard the town board discuss become a reality. "The 201 Facilities Project will be the answer to many of the citizens' problems in upgrading our streets, drainage, water and sewer. I would like to see the Odell Associates, who are the engineers for this project, speed this program up because it has been over two years since they were approved by the town board to handle this program for the town. If 1 am elected to the town board, I will support this project to see see these improvements become a reality at no additional cost to the citizens, because this is a Federal grant for this project with the government paying eighty percent, the state paying fifteen percent and the town paying five percent. "There are many other areas of our town that a closer look should be given to, but they have been bypassed for one reason or another. Many citizens have problems within their area, but no solution to their problem has been given. If I am elected to the town board, I will listen to the citizens' problems and try to help them reach a solution to their problems, if it involves the responsi bility of the town. So when you go to the polls to cast your vote on November 6th, give Lee Neville one of those votes that you have for Town Council and let me work for you again as your Town Councilman. And let me work for your again as your Town Councilman. 1 will appreciate your vote and support. Thanks."

Dr. Frank Woriax Specializes in Family Medicine by Cmmm Brmyboy Frank W?lu, M.D. Pembroke-Enhancing the medical ser vices available to the Pembroke area is Dr. Frank Woriax who is rendering the services of his Family Medicine Clinic located on Fourth Street, Pembroke. Woriax, a graduate of Duke Univer sity's School of Medicine, NC, becomes only the second Indian doctor to return to his native Robeson County to practice medicine. The first being Dr. M.L. Brooks who has been the only Indian doctor in the area for more than 20 years. With the addition of his clinic, Woriax is rendering a long overdue, much-needed service to the area. The Family Medicine Qinic is operating temporarily in a makeshift office, using an apartment facility. Within a few months Family Medicine Clinic will move to a new location, but until that time the services are being offered during the following hours: Monday ? Thursday from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon and from 1:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. On Fridays and Saturdays the Clinic is open from 9:00 A.M. until 1:00 p.m. In addition, the Family Medicine Clinic is open Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Woriax, whose speciality is Family Medicine, has strong conviction about the aspects of family medicine. "Family Medicine," said he, "is just what the term implies. I am trained to offer medical treatment from the cradle to the grave. Training in family medicine means that I have special training in gynocology, obstetrics, pediatrics, ortha pedics, psychological illness, etc. It means also that I must re-qualify every five years. As a family medicine practioner, I can treat all members of the family." And Won ax continued, "The whole concept of family medicine is that each i person have a personal doctor. Every person needs a personal physician who is familiar with his or her problems, therefore, in cases of emergency, people will not be treated by someone who knows absolutely nothing about their medical history. Many people are misled about medical services. Some of them feel that going from one doctor to another is alright. And maybe it is, if you can then go to one of the ones who have examined you when you have an emergency. It is not only unfair to a doctor for a patient to go elsewhere for regular treatment and then come to him for an emergency, in some cases it can be costly to the patient. In order to know what to do in particular emergen cies, it is necessary for a doctor to have some familiarity with the patient's medical history." Dr. Woriax elaborated some on the various misconceptions people have concerning medicine. "Some people," he said, "feel like they must have a specialist for everything. This la not necesaarlly true." People, Woriai believes, should have a personal physician. "As a doctor of family medicine. I am obliged to refor patients lo a specialist If the need ariaee. If they need apaaial help, I will radar them. I've no qualms about ipeaiahaia.

He has many good sound ideas for efficient health services to the Pem broke area. He plans to offer in the very near future and emergency facility which will have on call a physician, Frank Woriax, M.D.. and a physician's assistant. This service will be offered in addition to his regular clinic hours and the upcoming new location of the Family Medicine Clinic. Working at the Family Medicine I Clinic, in addition to Dr. Woriax, are:1 Barbara McMillan, RN, Belinda Oxen dine Patrick, medical technologist, and Shelia Godwin, receptionist. Also assisting Woriax in the Clinic is his wife, Carolyn Woriax, who acts as receptionist during those days when he is required to work long after 5:30 p.m. and she also provides the much needed accounting services for the clinic. The clinic is equipped to handle all kinds of Insurance as well as medical stickers. 'Meet the Teacher' A Parent's Night Open House, "Meet the Teachers" will be observed at Pembroke Elementary School, Monday evening, October 15, 7:00-9:00 p.m. according to Principal, James C. Dial. Parents will be free to go to individual clissrooms to discuss the school's curriculum with the teachers and to observe students' work. All teachers will remain in their classrooms to give every parent an opportunity to discuss their child's work. All parents and patrons of the school are cordially invited and urged to attend. Refreshments will be served in the school lobby. delaved "indefinitely" by Cmhmc Brayboy In a rare exhibition of heated debate, the Robeson County ^utd of Education voted to delay " indefinitely" construc tion on North Robeson High School. The action came in response to a group of citizens from the Magnolia area who appeared before the board last month and requested a change in the proposed site. Laymon Locklear offered the motion. Said he, "As the senior board member from that district. Mr. Chairman, may I offer the following resolution or motion, as the case may be. "Whereas 18 percent inflation has eroded away the buying power of already approved renovation funds for Rex Rennert and other projects in the county, "Whereas West Robeson presents an ideal educational atmosphere with merger, consolidation and a centrally located new plant to be built, #1 priority should be afforded this project "Whereas what is educationally sound for North Robeson is the alternate plan presented by the con cerned citizens of Magnolia and endor sed by the Parkton Citizens with a Merger effort made with both St. Pauls and Red Springs "Whereas funding could be made ivailable through revenue sharing and the much needed 1960 state bond referendum "Therefore, I move that the proposed North Robeson resolution be postponed indefinitely until the four above points be dealt with." Ronald Hammonds from the Magno lis area, seconded the motion. He also stated that he felt that tho board had not utilized every effort in pnrsueing the possibility of merger with Red Springs and St. Pauls Schools Units. Chairman Ralph Hunt then asked for discussion. And it began. David Green from Parfcton was adamantly against the motion. He expressed his concern that "personnel" from Parkton, Rex Rennert and Lumber Bridge were not given an opportunity to have input into the matter. Said he, "...I feel that we should deny this until ma hear from them....This also concerns merger which has already beest dealt with....I Just feel that since It concerns these other areas also that they should have soipe say so...I cannot make this decision without finding ant how people In Pert toe, Res Rennert and Lumber Bridge fool....If it is fair lor parents to make the decisions, it le no more than !-!? | humane I B^ml^mesm shw VMv HI nVfr VTvVel IVWHleseeB HwiPBwW lVNF matiuJl m l? >i|ww| |n a4gM tS #lhm rl w wIms mifuriiy 10 0I9VVIV Hi ?ww ui uiv VBViivi And Imd Hammond* rtcfoidid "I sent help hot iimis kiiiowthe idee .
