Last Wednesday following
the hog show, FFA and 4-H
judging teams arrived at the
livestock arena to participate
in the livestock judging con
test. The judging contest is
one of many events each year
that we have the opportunity
to work with the vocational
agricultural teachers and FFA
members in a cooperative
effort to enhance the agri
cultural and leadership train
ing of our local youth. Having
been a 4-H club member and
FFA member myself years
ago. it is easy to get excited as
we observe many of the youth
in this county participating in
a vast array of educational
programs.
Last week we had the
opportunity to attend the
Orrum Future Farmers of
America Parent and Member
Banquet, and it was inter
esting indeed to see the large
number of girls who are now
' involved in FFA activities.
Needless to say. this is a
dramatic change from many
years ago. The program for
the evening was presided over
by Valinda Britt, the presi
dent of the Orrum FFA
Chapter this year. As the
program progressed, it was
especially pleasing to hear
Anthony Wilkes mention the
cooperative relationship that
their members and the Orrum
vocational agricultural
department has with the
Extension Service and the
numerous projects that are
conducted cooperatively be
tween that department and
Extension.
Danny Kinlaw and H.H.
Robertson, the two vocational
agricultural teachers at Or
rum, have done a splendid job
in their edi/tational program
not only as it relates to their
cooperative relationship with
the Extension Service con
ducting educational programs
and demonstrations in that
area, but they continually
provide agricultural service to
the Orrum community. An
indication of their overall
leadership can be observed by
a review of the ten Over-All
banners that hang promi
nently in the department. The
Over-All Award is presented
by an FFA federation to the
most outstanding chapter in
that federation each year. <
Orrum has an unbroken string
reaching back to 1974 and
continuing through 1983.
There was some mention
made of some expectations for
1984, but we understand that
there are still contests that
must be won in order for 1984
to be another Over-All banner
year.
While it is our pleasure to
work with each vocational
agricultural department in
Robeson County, the signi
ficant achievements that are
forthcoming from the Orrum
department are definitely
worthy of note, and it is our
i
pleasure to be a cooperating
part of the success which that
department and the enthusis
astic FFA members enjoy.

BIA Staffers visit
Lombee Community
As you are aware, the
Federal Recognition Commit
tee of Lumbee Regional De
velopment Association, Inc.
(LRDA), is conducting a large
research project to determine
the history and genealogy of
the Lumbee Indians. The
history and genealogies of all
Lumbee Tribal members will
be submitted to the Federal
Acknowledgement Project
(FAP) Branch of the Bureau of
ndian Affairs (BIA) in Wash
ington, D.C. There are al
ready approximately 12,000
Lumbee Tribal Enrolled
Members.
In order to comply with the
criteria set up by the BIA a
tribe must compile a tribal roll
of all tribal members. This roll
consists of each individual's
family lineage dating back to
A-?
at least the year 1880. These
records are on file at the
Tribal Enrollment office at
LRDA.
On March 6th and 7th,
the staff of FAP in Wash
ington visited the Lumbee
Federal Recognition Commit
tee and reviewed the histor
ical records and the genea
logical records of the project.
The staff was Mr. Bud
Shappard, Branch Chief of
FAP; Lynn McMillian, Gene
alogist; and Lynn Forcia,
Genealogist. They gave the
Committee some insight con
cerning records management
procedures and gave some
suggestions on how the gene
alogical records will be used
by the staff once the Lumbee
Petition comes to their office.
They attended LRDA's
Board meeting Tuesday night
and Mr. Shappard talked
about what could be expected
once the Petition was sub
mitted. On Wednesday, Mar
ch 7, a luncheon was held in
their honor in Pembroke.
Lumbee Indian leaders from
all over the county and the
town of Pembroke were in
vited. At the luncheon, Mr.
Shappard again spoke to the
group emphasizing the bene
fits to Lumbee Indians once
recognition was achieved.
All in all, their visit was
very informative, not only for
the Lumbee Indians, but for
them as well. Said a repre
sentative of the Committee,
"We hope that this visit
brought about a good working
relationship between the two
principles involved and that a
good Lumbee Petition will
come from that effort."

TO THE RESIDENTS OF
16th District
The primary on May 8 is approaching rapidly. It is time for all of us to be mak
ing some very important decisions. Those decisions should not be made hastily
Rather they should be made only after examining each candidate for each office
carefully. Knowing a candidate s name and personality is not enough. The choices
we make do make a dramatic difference in our lives. It is for this reason that I want
vou to know who Tommy Wellington is and what I stand for.
I am campaigning for the N.C. House
of Representatives from District 16 which
includes Hoke, Robeson and Scotland
Counties I reside in the Saddletree Com
munity of Robeson County where I
operate a family farming business. I am
active in volunteer work primarily with
the elderly and in rehabilitation pro
grams that work against drug abuse and
alcoholism. I am currently serving on the
Board of Directors of the Good Shepherd
Home in Lake Waccamaw
I am married to the former Joyce
Powers who serves as chairperson for the
mathematics department of Lumberton
Junior High School We attend Rozier
Baptist Church where we both serve as
Sunday School teachers I also serve as a
deacon and choir director for our church.
My educational background includes
Lumberton High School, Wingate College
and Wake Forest University where I ma
jored in business
It is extremely important that I con
vey to you my reason for getting involved in politics. I realize that many people are
feeling very frustrated. Our elderly are struggling on very limited incomes The
unemployment rate is still high. Farmers are receiving little more for their crops
than they did forty years ago Private businesses are having difficulty competing
with so-called non-profit organizations that are tax-exempt. The list could go on
and on I am convinced we need a representative who will avidly support pro
grams that will be beneficial to all the people of this district.
Unfortunately many politicians have caused us to lose much of our respect for
our government. We do have a great system of government, we just need to elect
officials who are trustworthy and competent to deal with the issues that are upon
us. My slogan is "A Working Man's Approach to Government." I hope it sum
marizes my philosophy and you are convinced that I will serve you well as your
representative. I solicit your SUPPORT before the primary, your VOTE or May 8
and your III PUT after the election
Sincerely. f
