EDITORIAL AND OPINION PAGE "We cannot know where we are going if we do not know where we have been." . \p*^d ^ by Bruc#'Barton J HERBIE OXENDINE STILL IN THE CAB BUSINESS... Herbie Oxendine admits that his brief retirement after selling his Old Foundry Toyo ta franchise to Peterson Toyo ta was not to his liking. Still only 28 years old Oxendine says, "The car business gets in the blood...! enjoy working with people." He has gone back to his life long love-cars. He has begun a new business named, aptly enough, "The Car Com pany." He has relocated just up the road a piece from Old Foun dry Toyota at 1616 West 5th Street in Lumberton. "The Car Company" is located in the former Branch Transfer Building. Oxendine says, "I remem ber making my first title to a car when 1 was 11 years old." the late astute Hilton Oxen dine who engineered the bus iness deal that brought Old Foundry Toyota (now Peter son Toyota) to Lumberton. Sensing the public's accep tance of low mileage and reasonably priced imports, Old Foundry Toyota had to be one of the best business deals of the century. Herbie Oxen dine succeeded his father as owner and operator of Old Foundry Toyota. Oxendine, a recent convert, wanted to spend more time with his family and devote more time to his church Branch Street Methodist Church in Lumberton. And one senses that Oxen dine wUl not miss the "in tense pressure" of operating a successful franchise like Old Foundry Toyota. As his ad says, 'We're open and ready to serve you'. We have a good selection of used cars ready for you." The Car Company will also specialize in sales, service, rentals and leasing. Herbie Oxendine invites all his Mends to come out and see him. It's good news, indeed! Herbie Oxendine is back in the car business.

THE A RED Judge Britt Dismisses Remaining Claim of Alfred Cook PEMBROKE-Superior Court Judge Sun Britt has dismissed the last remaining trespass claim of Alfred Cook against the Town of Pembroke and Town Manager McDuffie Cummings, Chief of Police Vernon Ozendine and former Pembroke Pqhceipan Harvey ' Bullard. TlBirtneani flfc upf ' plaint of Alfred C. Cook in the* Robeson County action has been dismissed in its entirety A The counterclaim of the Town attempting to establish its right to the street in question remains pending. But Osborne Ley, Jr.,: Cook's attorney of record, has given a notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals in Raleigh; he has ninety day* to perfect his appeal. Judge Britt dis missed the matter on Decem ber 17, 1981. / SOME BACKGROUND... The charges had been lodged by Alfred W. Cook, via, his attorneys, Osborne Lee, Jr. and Earl Britt. Cook had sued for some SS million claiming that be had been falsely arrested and impri soned after, as he termed it, assault and battery. He also claimed that the town officials had trespassed upon his pro perty, located approximately behind WoodeD's Park and Shop Store and in front of Cliff's Package Store. The land in question had. been used as an alley way for years without interruption until Cook appeared one day and began plowing up the property with intention of barricading it from public use ? ? __ _ _ ? as he did later. The town officials, in torn, sued Cook for $100,000, as they saw ' it, for having libelous statements printed in the Rebesenlan, the daily county newspaper. Cook's it now tne compi&int was a ire a same day that it was filed in court proceedings, mote than a year and two months after the alleged incident occurred. The incident occurred May 28, 1978 when Cook claimed he was yanked off his tractor and taken to the police station and charged with malicious damage to real property and resisting arrest. Cook's trac tor, according to participants in the case, rammed into a Pembroke police car during the incident. Judge Henry A. McKinnon had earlier thrown out char ges of false imprisonment and assault and battery against the town officials because the statute of limitations had run out in the case. The statute of limitations is a year in the case. ANOTHER INTERESTING TWIST... Another interesting twist in the strange case is that Osborne Lee, Jr. filed a federal civil action in U.S. District Court, a few days before his farmer partner, Earl W. Britt, was named to the federal bench as a judge by then President Jimmy Cuter. Town officials, although happy about dismissal of the suit in their favor, termed the case "a legal nightmare." Legal costs in defending themselves has cost the town, to datcj^xcxiss qM^O Most knowledgeable sour- ' ces expect the federal suit to be dismissed as soon as the appeal has been, as most expect, denied.
