" -? ? -- " As I See It I by Bruce Barton H******************** ************* '? Rev. C.E. Locklear was bu ried yesterday after a lengthy illness. He was a very inde pendent and proud man: he did his own thinking, based, of course, on his communion with his God. It seems that all our Warriors are falling. My concern is that we are not developing anyone to take their places. Men lik& Rev. Locklear were tough, in part, because of the de pression and their spirited fight against overt racism. They worked hard for a living. And they relied heavily on God for deliverance in times of difficulty. Many of us do not know anything about what they went through. But we know that they stood for something of merit over a long period of time. We shall miss Rev. Locklear. as will all his family and friends and admirers. We extend our sincere con dolences to the family. Folks in nearby Columbus Shockwaves about censorship. Some say "yes." while a few say "no." The furor has to do with a book. "Wifey." that was recently banned by the county commissioners from Columbus County's Public Library. The book, written by Judy Blume. reportedly is about a woman who exorcises her frustrations through extramarital affairs. It contains sexually explicit material. The library's board of direc tors agreed with the librarian that the book should not be removed from the shelfs and that parents should exercise control over what their child ren read. And Amanda Bible, the li brarian. in a new* report in the Newt and Obaerver bravely ?aid. "It's not off the shelf ... neither haa it been nor will it be taken off the shelf until we are forced to take it off." Mrs. Bible contends that the library's copies of the book have simply been withdrawn so that members of the library's board of directors may read the book. Censorship is a dangerous thing; too much of it will destroy a republic and make shambles of democracy. Most times I would sign up on the side at thoaa who say one should not dictate what people can and cannot read. It's a dangerous thing to tell people what they can and cannot read. The children? That's up to we parents. We ought to go with them to the library and get involved with what's happen ing. And if the book doesn't seem right then censor it for your owa child ...but do not attempt to place that censor ship on anyone else's child.

Jsacs relying on Gad Awing difficult tinea.. Dr. and Mrs. Gerald Maynor and I. following the Retired Teacher's Banquet at Town and Country Restaurant Wed nesday night, decided to go see Dr. English E. Jones. We found him in good spirits, relying heavily on God for his every need. We were glad to see him. When he retired as chan cellor of Pembroke State University last June he said. "If I've hadtny success in life it is because I have always kept my priorities in order. My God comes first; thpn my family and then my job." He is still maintaining the same priorities, especially since his recent illness. He said. "Bruce, God wants me exactly where I am. He is always right." 1 agree. It was good to see "Doc" again. I hope his recovery continues although he seems to be taking things; in stride. He says that whatever hap pens is o.k. because it is the way God has willed it. He has a marvelous testi mony and is looking forward to becoming a more effective worker for Christ. He noted: "...that's more important than being chancellor or anything else." WE SAY "NO" TO W.

If he had received a second Old Mate, more likely than not, would be a distant amatory rather than a thriving and exciting Native American Re source Center and a beehive of activity on the PSU campus. Tee, Britt represented the county In opposition to the double voting law suit Initiated by some concerned Indian parents. Britt upheld a nefar ious practice whereby voters residing within the then five city units in Robeson Cornsty voted on their own respective beards of education as well as on the makeup of the Robeson County Board of Education I where moot of the Indian parents reside). He was a hearty foe of those who chaffed nnder the fendal chains of doable voting. Thank God he was over ruled in federal court, at the appeals level. we?L^w"lo W.
