EEditorial* id opiniom page a ot Know Where We Are Going fit Know Where We've Been... , So fittingly we honor our Pioneer Fathers /I - 1 As I See It | by Bruce Barton ?*******#*********************#*** ^E- 3**** * AN ENJOYABLE FOUITHi LUMBEE HOMECOMING AND VISITING WITH THE OXENDINE FAMILY I took in most of the events of Lumbee Homecoming 1980. It was a pleasurable four days, including parades and pretty girls, two prerequisites for a good and proper time. I also dropped in on the reunion of the late James W. (Big Bud) and Janie Oxendine family. 1 enjoyed hearing family members recall the good old days when family values seemed to mean more than they tlo today. The family reunion was held at the home of Clifton Oxendine, one of the surviving children of Big Bud and Janie Oxendine. It is a good thing when families have a sense of history and attempt to stay together, looking back to the past with pride and to the future with faith and good cheer. A PERSONAL NOTE My brother, "Big Ern" was killed in a traffic accident on June 2, 1980.1 still miss him terribly. His real name was Ernie Lee Barton but we knew him fondly as "Big Ern" because he was anything but big physically although he was big in every other sense of the word, including in the area of fatherhood. He was a wonderful father and a wonderful husband to his beloved Sue. Sht.gpd, their ??>? Kevin, 01145 and Gerald, , have been visiting with us for the past few days. We are so happy that they are home with us. They will be returning to Texas on Friday. We will miss them. But the hurt is so deep...the heart ache is severe. That is why we hurt with Mrs. Leon Oxendine in her time of grief. (See front page). I have been devastated by Ernie's death...to date 1 have been unable to cry. I am dry, unablf to just let the grief go. If 1 could only cry... But the Lord's grace HPwdffihra i isfcs i i ?? ' - -- ? ? ? anything else. But I cannot cry at the present time. "Big Em" was only 31. He leaves his sons, ages 11. 8 44 to mourn his passing as well as his widow. Sue, 29. 1 I catch myself asking deep within the recesses of my being...why? why? why? But I know it is God's will. Nothing happens for nothing. God's purpose will and must be done. "Big Era's" death had meaning...as well as his life. But I cannot cry....until I can cry and go on with my life's work in good faith...well, you will have to forgive me for a short season. 1 will be back in harness soon. My own life depends on it. And we sincerely offer our condolences to Mrs. Leon Oxendine in her time of extreme grief and hurt. She is Aha Nye Oxendine who has written "Reflections," a personal column for us for a number of years. We hurt with her. We send our unfettered prayers during this troubled time. letters to THE EDITOR 7 "r "? m* "USCARORA INDIAN HANDCRAFTS > AND CULTURAL CENTER. INC. ?* ROUTE X . BOX loa MAXTON.

Neither will an 8am load. Now, either time could be inconvenient for you, but someday, it may make a difference in your energy bill. In fact, everything you can do to cut down on the energy you use between 10 am and 10 pm will help. Because that's our Summer "Peak Load"period, the time when the demand for energy is the greatest. And we must ha enough energy to meet that demand no matter how high it g So try to get by with less air conditioning during the day Try to take showers, wash clothes and dishes before 10 am or after 10 pm. Conserve energy every way you can. I Because the more you get out of your energy dollar, the ; more we can get out of ours. And the less our bills will have to '? up later on. CMUL * clwrvi AI i?til ? 4 L * 1 About the Citizen's Party and Candidates To the Editor: Since my husband sub scribes to your paper. I am a reader of The Indian Voice. I'm sure you readers would like to know about the new Citizen* Party and its candi date^ (Barry Commoner for President and LaDonna Harris for Vice President. LaDonna Harris is an Indian activist wife of populist former Senator from Oklahoma. Fred Harris. Barry Commoner is a scien tist. formerly at St. Pouis University and now on the faculty of Queens College. Flushing. NY. As professor at Queens, Commoner will put a solar collector on roof of a school building in New York City to furnish heat for the surrounding homes. As Presi dent, Commoner would see that the poor and middleclass as well as the rich would benefit from solar energy and the resulting reductioni n costs. Commoner has written sev eral books on the energy crisis. In the latest. Politics of Energy, he outlines a plan to produce solar energy to pro mote employment and im prove the economy. There have been articles in the May 10th Nation. May 1st ?oiling Stone as well as articles in The Aquarian and Village Voice regarding the Citizen's Party, some of which could be found in the college library (also his book. Polltica of Energy). The Cltliena Party was founded by Barry Commoner, Julian Bond, Maggie Kuhn and others. There are 130 chapters in the U.S., although it is less than a year old. There was a National Convention in April 1980 at which the candidates were elected to run for the Citizens Party. The Citizens Party aims for 5% of the national vote in the iiuiLuiuiii aam' ewmuiiTTq ? obtain federal funding). If the U.S. Government isn't ruined in the next 4 years by Carter or Reagan, the Citizens Party will aim to win in the following Presidential Elec tion. In the intervening years, we will be building the party, although we already have many supporting community groups in the cities of the North East and on the West Coast. A vote for the Citizens Party is an investment in the future. If Commoner and Harris are not on the ballot in your state, write in their names, or better yet - get them on the ballot. Enclosed is some material on the Citizens Party.

I suggest they study the following authentic data and then make a judge ment. First, his voting record is atrocious; he is a trilateral commission man as are Carter. Mondale, etc. Therefore, he is in David Rockefeller's pocket. Then, with respect to his voting record the facts are as follows: 1. He is the strongest nuclear power voter in Congress. 2.He voted against the miner's "Black Lung Disease" bene fits. 3. He proposed a bizarre amendment to the constitution declaring this to be a Christian Nation. Now he disavows that vote. 4. He supported bills to deny food stamps to striking work ers and to reduce minimum wage protections. 5. He voted agains Nader's Consumer Party Agency. 6. He voted for a 17 percent cut in the Occupational Health and Safety Agency. 8. He intimates he is above politics just as Carter did. 9. He voted in favor of the Tonkin Resolution. 11. As a fiscal conservative he has consistently voted against funding for women's progress. The ADA rated his voting records 11 percent. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce rated him 73 percent. Clearly this man is a wolf in sheep's clothing and is totally unfit to be considered for President or any other political office. Fredrick L.

Burger, Chief Justice of the United States, has continually stated that "there is a poor quality performance by a substantial number of lawyers who come into our courts." He recommends improving the accreditation process, fix ing higher standards of pro fessional excellence, and es tablishing programs for the training of trial advocates to remedy this situation. More than 33 years ago, ine Associa tion of Trial Lawyers of America (ATL A) rec ognized the need for continuing legal educa tion and de Toted itself to honing T. L Koskoff Al>. _?_!??_ _* me Miiis 01 courtroom aa vocates. Each year ATLA's contin uing legal education seminars, held in every Judicial Circuit in the United States, provide trial lawyers with a forum for new legal concepts and deci sions. ATLA's basic Trial Ad vocacy Seminars teach court room strategy and effective presentation. The National College of Ad vocacy and Advanced College lead trial advocates through all phases of civil and criminal litigation in seven-day semi nan held annually. Conven tion* and (pedal seminar* in major cities across the natkni also keep trial lawyer* abreast of critical issues and new developments in the legal profession. The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) was founded by ATLA in 1977. to improve trial advocacy by certifying lawyers of proven competence through out the United State*. NBTA. now sponsored by the Amer ican Board of Trial Advocates, the International Society of Barristers, the National. Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the National District Attorneys Association, will hold its first certification exams in June, 1980. The American public will then be able to identify, for the first time, the trial lawyers who meet high national standards for civil and criminal trial advocacy. j Many lawyers take advan tage of home study through' educational counseling aids developed by ATLA, including videotapes, audio cassettes, and legal texts on all phases' of trial advocacy. The benefits of these con tinuing legal education pro grams are readily recognized by the consumer. These pro grams will make it possible for the legal profession to forge into the 80's with the excellent courtroom skills and outstanding knowledge of cur rent legal topics that con sumers rightfully demand. Pharmacist c Pembroke Drug Center Odom and W. 3rd, Pembroke, NC Trust a "Pro" with your generics The essentials of generic substitution allow your phar macist to dispense an equivalent drug product only if written permission is provided from your doctor. In such cases, we may select a less expensive drug onV if the generic product has "the same active ingredi ents, strength, quantity, and dosage form and which is the approved equivalent of the name-brand in ques tion." However, equivalent drug products are not always available. In addition, despite federal approval, quality can vary. Thus, it is best to trust a professional pharmacy for generics. m/ Dial 621-4806 psssStori I afl yonn insurance needs | 13 life insurance 3 fire insurance 3 auto insurance 3 homeowners 3 education ? mortgage ? accident and sickness ? retirement ? business v I Whatever your needs, find out how Nationwide can protect you.
