! ASI ' ; SEE IT by I i Bruce : M Barton PENCE, CUMIN AND COMPANY OUGHT TO SHOW US "THE TIP OF THE ICEBEBG" OB SHUT UP AND LET BOBESON COUNTY GET BACK TO WOBK Robert Pence, the FBI's Agent in Charge in North Carolina, has been much in the news lately, especially with pronouncements about Robeson County's so-called CETA probe that has resulted in the arrest of Chris Antwi, the county's head of the Department of Human Re sources until he was arrested last week and charged with alleged irregularities in the administration of the CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) program in Robeson County. He is charg ed with four counts of misap plying CETA funds in relation to a computer contract, a count of hiring someone who was not eligible for CETA employment and misstate ment on a travel voucher. The rest of us are waiting to see what Pence will say next. He has been quoted as saying the Antwi's arrest was "just the tip of the iceberg" in ol' Robeson. Pence also says that an extensive probe is under way and that the Antwi indictment is "just the begin ning of possible indictments and arrests in Robeson Coun ty." I wonder if Pence is a Republican? 1 know U.S. Atorney Sam Currin it, and was appointed by Republican Senator Jesse Helms. But, to Currin's credit, he has not dealt in hyperbole and specu lation like Pence has in subtle hints to the media. Currin has said simply that his office will not confirm whether or not any agencies or individuals are involved. But many knowledgeable politicos in the county believe the probe supposedly under way is Republican-induced. I believe Currin's attention was turned toward Robeson Coun ty by Republicans who want to see democratic influence less ened. 1 suppose it'll all come out sooner or later. As 1 see it. Pence, Currin and other responsible officials ought to go ahead and show us what they have. People's lives are at stake here, and the speculation and inferen ces are damaging to many people, some of whom will be found to be innocent of any wrong doing. If everyone is arrested whose name I have heard bandied about by news toters and rumor mongers then there won't be a soul left to mind Robeson County's store. - Jk ...and this report from the Associated Press...

Hear YeMHear Ye!!! Pembroke High School G red oatloo dees 011943 As a bonafide member of the Pembroke High School graduation class of 1943, 1 make a motion that an attem pt be initiated for the purpose of getting together for a 40th Year Gass Reunion on either July 1st or July 2nd, 1983, someplace in Robeson Coun ty. If any other class member or members second this mo tion, then same should con tact any class officers and other members now residing in Robeson County for the purpose of acting on this motion. A positive response should set into action plans for a 40th Year Gass Reunion, and the means by which class members may be contacted. The class of "43" was very unique in many ways, and the following are only a few examples. 1. We were the first class to complete four consecutive years of academics in the new Pembroke High School. 2. We began as freshmen the first year the new High School opened in the fall of 1939. 3. World War II and our High School coincided, and we were probably the most patri otic class to traverse the hallway of the original Pem broke High School. 4. After our graduation in May 1943, many of our classmates answered the call of our country and helped bring that conflict to a suc cessful conclusion. What have our High School classmates been up to the last 40 years? Let's find out. Submitted this 29th Day of April, 19S3 Ronald H.

ASS POSTAGE PAID AT PEMBKOKfc POST OFFICE 28372 "We will neVer know where we are going if we do not know where we have been..."" ?the children need more..* Dear Editor, The General Assembly will soon insider whether to repeal legislation that allows local school districts to short en the length of the school year on their own. That legislation, passed in the 1982 session of the General Assem bly, was a response to the * problems many school sys tems have in making up days lost due to inclement weather. Under the law, school districts can decide not to make up as many as five days. In other words, in some of our school districts, the school year has ben reduced from 180 to 17S days. Our children are growing u? in a c *mplex and difficult world-far more complex and difficult than the one we grew up in. When there is so much more to learn, it does not make sense to reduce the amount of time we provide for the learning of our children. One of the arguments put -forth in favor of allowing school districts to waive five days is that making up days in the heat of June is too hard. Working in hot weather is part of being a human being. Certainly, hot weather makes learning more difficult than fine spring weather. When, however, did we arrive at the notion that conditions must be perfect for learning to hap pen? 1 do not want my own children thinking that every thing has to be just right in order for them to learn, and I doubt that most folks in this state feel any differently. We have a good state school system, one that 1 would put up against any in the land. Our children, however, cannot compete well against children in other 'areas if they do not learn as much as those other young sters. Our children need more education, not less. Reducing the amount of time they spend in school is a step backward. It is very important that the General Assembly repeal the legislation which has resulted in less education for too many of our children. Sincerely, C.D.

So fittingly we honor our Pioneer Fathers MEANDERING ?=? WITH GARRY*LTBARTON Ezeldel 16:6... Believe it or not! Being a dude with only average intellect, I trip over many mysteries that my finite mind cannot comprehend while traveling along this rocky road called life. But none, 1 dare say, has baffled me mote so than the phenomena I wish to explore this week. Another thing, before we get too far along, I would like to issue a challenge to the atheists (ones who deny the existence of God) among the readership. When the opportunity presents itself apply this simple first aid technique. You will be amazed to say the least I dare say yon will feel forced to reevaluate your stand; for indeed, what we are going to reveal this week is a phenomena of the universe that mortal man cannot duplicate or explain. It simply has to be of God. wow tnat tne stage ts set. Here goes.... If you, or someone you come in contact with in your day to day interactions with others suffer a laceration (a cut) of the skin, and the wound bleeds profusely, first of all, don't panic. The recommended treatment by the medical profession is direct pressure to the injury. If this doesn't stop the bleeding they (doctors) say you should apply a tourniquet. All this is well and good. But I suggest an alternate treatment. One that does not run the risk of a tourniquet that cuts off the flow of blood to some vital part of the body. Simply take down you Bible. Turn to the book of Ezekiel, the 16th chapter, the 6th verse. During an emergency situation such as this speed is of the essence. So I strongly suggest you memorize this verse. Or, if need be, cut the verse which will appear below out of this column and tape it to your medicine cabinet or some other ; 4t ? . ? . .- w. ? ? convenient location in your bathroom. Read the verse out loud (for best results place your hand on the head of the victim while reciting the verse). The verse follows, taken from the King James version of the Bible: "Aad when I paaeed by Ace, and saw thee pointed hi thtes own bleed, I said ?ate thee when teen wast la thy blood, Uvoj yea I said ante thee when thou wast hi thy bleed, live." EaekM lfc* If you recited the verse out loud with your hand on the head of the person bleeding while you recite, the bleeding should stop. Sounds incredible, I know. But it works. Why it works I know not. But 1 know from personal experience that it does. Some say that the person reciting the verse has to have faith in God for this procedure to work. But I have seen it wort for some people who did not profess to believe in God. So 1 highly recommend that you give it a try. A lot of times during emergency situations people panic-especially if pro fuse bleeding is involved. The sight of blood freaks some people out. So, you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you try it. Ergo if you are the first on the scene of an accident why not give it a try while waiting for the rescue squad or ambulances? Remember, it's Ezekiel 16:61 Try it! The life you save may be that of a loved one-or your own. Skeptical? Well, believe it or not! But you'll never know for sure if it works unless you give it a try. Right? Don't fbrget the verse is Ezekiel 16:6. 'km ' * " Calls Carl Branch and Cohort's "Going underground" good news Good news at last. The LREMC Action Gronp is going underground as per a statement to the Fayetteville Times, May 10. 1983 This could be the LREMC Action Group's greatest ach levement since their origin, if they promise not to interfere with the moles and ants, whose efforts are worthwhile and contribute to mankind's welfare. Of course it is common practice to put any thing that is dead under ground. The main purpose being to remove the smell, that is associated with dead things. To Eugene Shannon of Hoke County, the LREMC Board of Directors are abiding by the bylaws that were drawn up at LREMC's incep tion. If you cannot understand the wording or meaning of your bylaws, seek legal advice. To Leland Adams of Cum berland County, the system is the best in die world accord ing to all the law maker* and professional politicians. These gentlemen of the LREMC Board of Directors offered their fine service to the members of LREMC and were elected by and through the democratic process and they are serving very intelli gently. The only changes in the LREMC bylaws since thief inception was to protect ? against discrimination, which was prevalent then and now. The most horrendous mistake the LREMC Board of Direc tors could make would be to accept any proposals or con cessions offered by the LREMC Action Group. In my opinion, Carl Branch, Eugene Shannon, and Leland Adams should go under ground, literally speaking and take your inferior complexes with you. P.S.

NC J , News About SSI The supplemental security income (SSI) program is de signed for aged, disabled, or Mind persons with limited income and assets. Unlike the Social Security program, eligi bility for SSI does not require a history of Social Security covered employment. How ever, a person who has worked in covered employ ment may be eligible for both SSI and Social Security mon thly payments. SSI payments are made from Federal general funds, not from Social Security taxes. The age limit for eligi bility for SSI is dear-cut; a person must be at least 65 .years of age to be eligible for benefits as an aged person. For those who are disabled, the criteria are the same as under the Social Security disability insurance program-a physical or mental impairment that prevents the person from doing any work for at least 12 months or thet is expected to result in death. To be eligible for SSI payments on the basis of blindness, a person must have vision no better than 20/200, ora visual field of 20 degrees or less. The determination of disa bility or blindness under the law is generally made by an agency in the State in which the applicant resides. It is based on a review of medical evidence, including reports from doctors, hospitals, and other health facilities where the person may have been treated. Additional examina tions, tf needed, ere paid for by Social Security. 'Additional information about eligibility for SSI pay ments aa an aged, blind, or disabled person may be ob tained from any Social Securi ty office.
