PUBUSHBD EACH THURSDAY THE CAROLINA INDIA VOICE "IMIifctfwli?llv?Brtdgw \l 97? '5, tfSS^Oto' met employees and talked with President Fred Williams about the expansion of the facilities and the need for vocational education. He arrived in Pembroke at 2 p.m. where he addressed the staff of LRDA. Here the Lt. Gov. was introduced by Dr. James B. Chavis, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs at PSU. Dr. Chavis shared an experience with the staff when Ken Maynor, Executive Director of LRDA. and others visited Lt. Gov. Green in Raleigh. Dr. Chavis related that the bill which appropriated S100.000 annual ly in educational grants had seemingly died in committee. The group ap proached Lt. Gov. Green and he immediately went to work to rectify the situation. The N.C. Legislative Grant came out of the committee and resulted in monies being available for the educational needs of Indian students. When Green addressed the staff, he told them that it was more important to know how to get things done than it was to make promises. He stressed that during many years in state government he had learned how to make things happen. He promised only to continue to be fair and honest when elected Governor. The group then traveled to Maxton and Red Springs where Lt. Gov. Green spoke with people on various issues and solicited their support. He visited the Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation in Red Springs and spoke with staff and employees. The day's activities concluded with a free barbecue at the Lumberton Armory which was attended by approximately 700 people. There Green addressed the group and took his own poll. He asked every person who was not planning to vote for Jimmy Green to* raise their hands. No one did. He then i asked all thos? who were going to vote for Jimmy Green and ask their family and friends to do so, to raise their hands, h appeared that every hand in the Armory was raised. Lt. Gov. Green then told the WTVD-11 TV crew to get that poll on camera. It was an unusual poll and an insight to the man's rare sense of humor. He did make one reference to the COLCOR incident when he said he r>rayed that no other family in North Carolina ever nad to go through what he and his family had faced. "When I an elected Governor," he said, "I will see that it doesn't happen to another family." The crowd was impressed! Many who'd come only for a free supper left determined to help Jimmy Green become Governor. The response was varied as this reporter spoke with several people in attendance. Many expressed their feel ing that the Lt. Governor had been farmed in the COLCOR investigation but all of them agreed that Lt. Governor Jimmy Green was the most honest candidate they'd ever met.
