THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1979 ROBESON COUNTY 209 PER COPY RECOUNTS SCHEDULED TONIGHT i BY ROBESON COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS LUMBERTON-The board of elections officially re-affirmed the vote totals in Lumberton's Precinct #6 in a heated meeting Monday morning following last week's municipal elections. Dr. E.B. Turner easily won the council seat from the traditional Black precinct. The board, after hearing from Rev. E.B. Turner, the victor, and Angus Thompson, the vanquished, decided to count the ballots on the spot with another machine. The vote totals remained the same. Dr. E.B. Turner was reaffirmed the winner by a 762-351 vote total. Dr. Turner had threatened a law auit if the vote total difference from the official tally because it was proven that two Robeson ian staffers had handled the tallies, as well as a representative from the vote tabulator company. Thompson had requested the recount because of the unauthorized parties counting the votes and because of certain irregularities that occured with the voting machines. Elections board chairman Dexter McLean said the board agreed to the recount because the unauthorized parties had handled some of the votes involved in Precinct 6 balloting. The board also agreed to recount the votes in Pembroke's mayor race and in two county races in Red Springs and maxton. Reggie Strickland, defeated in his bid for another term as Pembroke's mayor, appeared before the board to charge that certain irregularities occured at the polling place at Pembroke's voting station, Pembroke Junior High School. The board agreed to recount the votes and also agreed to provide Strickland with an opportunity to present evidence to back up his allegations concerning voting irregularities Strickland has charged that certain people voted who have been declared dead. He also charged that Mrs. Mable Oxendine, one of the registrars, called Pembroke voters and asked that they vote for Pete Jacobs, the eventual winner, instead of aricaland. The recounts, and he special hearing in the Pembroke matter, have been set for tonight (Thurviay) at 6:30 p.rrf. A Statement from The Former Mayor To the Citizens of the Town of Pembroke: I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for letting me serve you for eight and one half years. Four and one half years of that time as a town Commissioner and four years as your Mayor. I became your Mayor at a time when Pembroke was on the verge of default. Many of this town's improvements are above and below ground level and easily seen as a testimony of my administration. Today, Pembroke is in the best financial condition ever. As I leave office, I feel good about the many accomplishments that my two admini t strations have achieved. I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given me over the many years. I have tried to serve you to the best of my ability. For those of you who have supported me and Pembroke's excellent Municipal Government, you can indeed be proud. For those of you who haven't supported the present administration, I sincerely hope that you will lend untiring efforts to our new Mayor and Town Council. If any of your should need me or my effort, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Reggie Strickland New Doctor on Board at Pembroke Medical and Dental Clinic Pembroke-It's official: Pembroke Medi cal and Dental Clinic now has a full fledged doctor on board.

The board acted on the recommendation of Supt. Purnell Swett who said, "We're asking you to give us the authority to design West Kobeson High School for grades 10-12....Two factors contribute to this...inflation and neces sary services, the gym. library, ect... The architects cannot offer the type facilities we need for the amount of money....I reluctantly offer this recom mendation. we cannot build a 9-12 school with the amount of dollars. I do so reluctantly, but educationally and professionally I have no other choice... 1 would also like your authority to seek something other than the conventional construction, some thing. 1 don't know what, that will offer us durability and reduce the cost." And Kufus Graham, Maxton's board member, responded. Said he, "Maxton is looking for a 9-12 school...What bothers me is the effect a 10-12 school will have on the children."
