kecuring and distribution of
?000 litter bags; and the
letual development of the
Robeson County Beautifies -

quite active in its own right.
In addition to the beautifi
cation effort, there has been
considerable time and enerjrv
applied to rural-uifcan rela
tions which recently- culmi
nated in the recent excellent
Farm City Week activities.
Naturally, throughout the
year, considerable inter
agency coordination is
brought about through the
efforts of the panel members.
Even though these achie
vements have been made, the
Rural Development Panel
took on an entirely new
mission last spring when the
group was appointed by the
Robeson County Board of
Commissioners as the Robe
son County Involvement
Council wjiich. automatically

This awards program win
continue for 1963, and that
Rural Development Panel will
be seeking nominations for
these awards at the beginning \
of the new year.
However, there are other
awards opportunities which
are currently available from
the President of the United
States. These include the 1963
President^ (Volunteer Action
swards and'the 1963 Presi
dent's Young American Med
als for Bravery and for Service
awards. The President's Vol
unteer Action awards entry
form must be submitted di
rectly to Washington, DC by
Jan. 7, 1983. This award
involves no competition at the
county or state level, and
applications must be submit
ted directly to Washington.
Nomination forms are avail
able at the County Extension
Office, or forms can be >
obtained by contacting Wystt
Johnson at the Lumberton
City Schools administrative
unit.
The President's Young
American Medals for Bravery
and for Service awards will
involve competition in North
Carolina initially since only
four people may be nominated
from this state to receive
presidential recognition.
There will be two youth each
for the President's Young
American Medal for Braveiy
and for the Young American
Medal for Service awards.
Nomination forms for these
awards are expected to be
available at the County Ex
tension Office bymid- Janu
ary. We have received infor
mation that only six weeks
times will be available to
distribute artd retrieve forms
for these four awards, so
anyone who may have a
nomination in this special
category is encouraged to call
the Extension office at 738
8111 and leave your name and
address so that a copy of the
application form may be mail
ed to you immediately upon
arrival.
However, the most press
ing award regarding time is
the President's Volunteer Ac
tion award which must be in
Washington, Jan. Ttfi, so
immediate action will be
required by anyone who may
??d"iHI?Aecure an app,ication
for this award. The Extension
office will be closed on Dec.
24 and 27, so this should also
be considered a factor in
taking quick action to secure
these application forms'.
The members of the Rural <
Development Panel are anxi
ous to make sure that deserv
ing individuals from Robeson
County receive appropriate
recognition, so considerable
information will be provided
later regarding the special
awards programs that are
available through the Gover- "
nor's State-Wide Volunteer

Pembroke Homemakers
honor "Woman
Of The Year"
The Pembroke Homemak
ers and invited guests met at
the Red Carpet Inn Dec. 10 for
their annual Christmas party.
The Club President, Ms.
Dollie Lowry, presided. The
club chose this festive occa
sion to honor the "Woman of
the Year." Ms. Gertrude
Locklear was presented an
appreciation plaque and was
.draped with a banner reading
?t,A VAn? ?? I
TTIUHAII WI UIC I vm ?
She was chosen by having
highest score from tabulated
monthly score sheets. The
score sheet tells the story of
whose hearts have been made
glad by a friendly visit, helped
in time of need and in time of
sorrow. It also tells how loyal
you are to your county, local
and community activities.
Runners up were Ms. Hel
en Sampson and Ms. Hazel
Brewington.
A buffet dinner was served
after which games were en
joyed by all. The party ended
with the group singing
Christmas Carols.

Mr. Oxendine, a native

his stay at SGH in 1974.

certain that it will be used by
many patients and visitors at
