^Frditoria l, WIND OPC ?' PAGE ^ V. ' "We cannot know where V we are going if we do not | know where we have been." by Bruc* Barton , J live near Currboro, lirfa in the lates 60s >s. Carrboro abuts I. It is difficult to tell a person rrboro ends and ill begins. y, when 1 stayed after a stint in prison ana a healthy oout with alco holism, I met a preacher named Rev. Rudolph Hardee. He was kind to me when only kindness and the grace of God could save me. I have never forgotten his kindnesses and his concern for my soul. I am on his mailing list. He is pastor at Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Carrboro; he sends me the church's newsletter named, appropri ately enough, "the Calvary Beacon." He likes to reprint good and helpful stuff. In the March 1, 1981 issue he reprinted an article he found somewhere entitled "How to. get along with people." t 4 I have been denigated a bit lately, had a bout with the Internal Revenue Servic^; been down in the dumps somewhat. Feeling like giving up. But, of course, I won't because I am too obstinate to just give up without doing the very best I am capable of doing. Too, our business phone has been off for a few days. But, Thank God, we got up the money for the past due bill and we are back in business, etc. etc. etc. Anyway, I have thought about what to write about this week. Why not "How to get along with People?" I sin cerely mean no man any harm and wish to get along with people. Here's the article. _ ?LONKPNtSS 1. Keep acid chain* on your tongue; always aay Icaa than you think. How you My it often counti more than what you My 2. Make promiaea sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it coata you. 1. Never let an opportunity pats to My a kind and encouraging thing to or about aomebody. Praiae good work done, regardlesa of who did it. If criticiam ia needed, critictae helpfully, never spitefully. 4. Be interested in others: interested* in their pursuits their welfare, their homes and families. Let everyone you meet however humble, feel that you regard him a* one of importance. L Be cheerful. Keep the cusueia of your mouth turned up. Hide your pain*, worries and disappointments under a laik. Laugh at good stories and leant la tefl them. ?. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but not argue. It is a mark of superior ninds to disagree and yet be friendly. T. Let your virtues speak foe themselves, and refuse to talk of another's vices. Make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it ie something good. t- Be careful of another's feeling. Wit and humor at the other fellow's expense are rarely Srorth the effort. I. Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Simply live that nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves and a bad digestion are a common cause of backbiting. 10. Don't be too anxious about your duct. Do your work, be patient and keep your disposi tion sweet, forget self, and you will be rewarded Hearing Tonight on Reagan Budget Cuts There will be a Public Hearing Thursday, May 7, at 7:30 p.m., at the O.P.

Contrary to the controveisey surround ing the matter, die consider ation of the resolution de claring the results of the special referendum was ac cepted quickly and without fanfare. Councilman Sam Dial told Ray Campbell, a represent ative for Weaver Construction Company, that "it burned me up" the way the company proceeded in attempting to get approval to build some FHA assisted housing in the town. Little detail was given of the company's intention although Town Manager Mc Duffie Cummings did say that the company had for mally requested a zoning change in order to build the apartments "about 30 days ago." The Lumber River Council of Government refused recently to approve the measure. Councilman Dial is the town's representative on COG (Council of Government). The town has also set work sessions for the next few weeks in preparation for the upcoming 1981, 1982 budget which begins July 1. Flouridation grant accepted The town also formally ac cepted a $16,000 flouridation grant Monday night. And considered a proposal from Pembroke Veterinarian David Brooks to serve as the town's dog warden or animal control officer. The town has had problems in the past with small animals left dead on the roads and with packs of dogs running uncontrolled. The council seemed favorably im pressed with Brook's proposal and tabled the matter until budget time. Councilman Sam Dial was also on the agenda and ex pressed concern About a number of matters, including the town's need for a Com munity Wgtfh Program, street signs, the need far travel logs from town em ployees, the image of the police department, and the car wash on Union Chapel Road. Dial said the car wash was a nuisance and a gather ing place for young people who seemingly offended resi dents in the neighborhood. Dial also stated that he would like to see a marker set up in the town park honoring those citizens who donated the land to the town for a park. t The Manager's Report... Town manager, McDuffie Cummings announced that Mike Avery, the town's Com munity Development Direc tor, had resigned. He sug gested that no replacement be named for him saying that he and Paul Brooks, who has been involved intimately with the project, would be able , to finish up the work which is estimated to be 60% complet ed. Cummings did note that they might have to hire a consultant to help the town's officials prepare future CD proposals which are being developed. Cummings also noted two resignations in the police department. The town is . advertising to fill one of the positions and will leave the other open until "budget time." Problems with Cable TV A number of councilmen complained of service being given by Jones Intercable TV, the company serving the town. The council decided to send a letter to them detailing complaints. Contestants needed for 'Little Miss Lumbee' Pageant It's Lumbee Homecoming v. time again! And the Little Miss Lumbee Committee is in search of thirty little Lumbee girls for our annual "Little Miss Lumbee" pageant. The child must be Indian and between the ages of 4 and 6 by July 1, 1981.

Indian Elected to Jaycees Board 1 hope this letter finds you well today. I would like to bring to your attention about an unusual happening that has occurred at Central Prison in Raleigh recently. The Cen tral Tar Heel Jaycees (Tarheel Jaycees). held its bi-annual election and banquet to install its newly elected officers. Among those who were elect ed was an American Indian. Abbott L. Curry. He now holds a position on the Board of Directors for the next 6 months. It has been a very long while since an Indian has been an officer of the Central Tarheel Jaycees and it goes without much saying in a penal environment an Indian really has a difficult position above and beyond other nationali ties. Abbott L. Curry is an Arkansas Indian but none the less a brother in the American Indian Society. 1 feel its a noteworthy accomplishment and should be given some attention. Thank you. Yours truly, Abbott L. Curry "A Spring Carnival" The Townsend Middle School Junior Honor Society and the Parental Involvement Committee are sponsoring "A Spring Carnival" at the Townsend Middle School, Maxton, N.C. on Friday.

May 22nd at 7 p.m., at the Pembroke Senior High School gym, for the outdoor drama, "Strike at the Wind." "Strike at the Wind!", writ ten by Randolph Umberger, is a musical outdoor drama taken from the true accounts of Lumbee Indian folk hero Henry Berry Lowrie. Lowrie and his tri-racial band roamed Robeson County and south eastern North Carolina from 1864-1874 seeking revenge for the murders of his hither and brother. Called hero by some and outlaw by others, Lowrie carried a $30,000 bounty on his head. Henry's escapades were so famous that Jesse James even adopted his name. Never brought to trial. Lowrie disappeared into the swamplands of Robeson County never to be seen again. The fact that he was never proven right or wrong only added strength to his legend. Come laugh and cheer with us Friday night as we see who will rule the courts: Pembroke Jaycccs or Prospect Jaycees.

Answer: Our eyes are the strong, silent type. When vision problems start, they work extra hard to keep us seeing. They also fail to send out any warning signals about eye disease, like glaucoma, until late in the game, after per manent damage is done. So we can go merrily on our way for quite some time without realizing that some thing is wrong with our eyes or vision. A regular optometrrc exam ination, therefore, is a good preventive health care prac tice. During it, your doctor of optometry can detect warning signs of eye disease and diagnose vision problems. He or she can also discover eye glasses or contact lenses that no longer do the job. Regular vision care can mean seeing well for a lifetime. Eye Openers were prepared by The American Optometric Association. Dr. John Adams and Dr. Harold Herring of. Pembroke Optometric Clinic have edited and submitted these columns as a service to the citizens of the Pembroke area. The Carolina Indian Voice is pleased to print this column as a public service.
