Autumn Vacation
in New Mexico
Mrs. Jessie B. Chavis of
Pembroke has recently re
turned after visiting her
granddaughter. Miss Nan O'
Lene Locklear, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Stacy Locklear
of Pembroke, N.C. Nan is a
registered phafmacist in the
Gallup Indian Medical Center
in Gallup, New Mexico and
works with ten other phar
macists on a rotating basis,
mostly with the Navaho Indi
an tribe and a few Hopi
Indians.
She graduated from U.N.C.
School of Pharmacy, Chapel
Hill. N.C., May 13. 1984,
easily passed the bar in June
and received her license as a
registered pharmacist and
began work July 1, 1984.
While there. Nan took hei
grandmother to view some
historical places; one being
the El Mono National Monu
ment. This monument has a
magnificent headland visible
for miles. The prehistoric
Pueblo Indians lived at the
top, 200 in number, in 1300;
Spanish explorers and latei
American travelers and sol
diers camped by the perma
nent pool at the cliff base and
carved names, dates and
other records of their visits ir
the soft sandstones. El Mono,
with 1,278 acres of land, was
made a National Monument ir
1906, states Mrs. Chavis.
Another interesting place
was the Zuni Indian Reser
vation, 35 miles south ol
Gallup, New Mexico. These
Indians mostly live in adobe
(mud) houses with large fam
ilies living together. As some
in the family marry, they stil
live in the same house, onlj
the house is enlarged bj
building extra rooms.
Mrs. Chavis learned that
each tribe of Indians mostly
has its own hospital.
Nan also took her grand
mother on a tour at the
hospital in which she works,
especially the lab where she
fills perscriptions for the sick
and disabled. She also took a
view at the "information"
room where each pharmacist
takes the patients into and
? explains to them carefully
how the medicine is to be
taken and cautioning them
what to expect if the direc
tions are not carried out.
Mrs. Chavis was greeted
and also accompanied to the
airport in Albuquerque by
1 Nan and her friend, Miss
Vicky Snead of Cherokee,
N.C. It was quite a learning
experience, states Mrs. Cha-.
vis. Mrs. Chavis said, "If all
the Lumbee Indians of Robe
son and adjoining counties
had the privilege of viewing
the living conditions of some
of the poverty stricken tribes
of other areas, then they
would be more appreciative of
I what they have here at
I home."
i Mrs. Jessie B. Chavis and
Mr. Earlie B. Maynor of
Pembroke received awards
i Oct. 2, 1984 in Raleigh from
Governor and Mrs. James B.
Hunt. They received awards
for school voluntary work
f along with recipients of 33

REFLECTIONS...
Alta Nye Oxendine
Next week I plan to share
with my readers a special
honor which I recently receiv
ed.
In the meantime, I want to
once more express apprecia
tion-on behalf of my family
fbr the love and prayers and
kindnesses offered by each of
you during these past difficult
years. You have been ao
wonderful to us in so many
different ways!
But I believe it was your
prayers-and the God who
hears and answers prayer
and who cares about our every
need- which really kept us
going in the midst of our
crises.
The continuing support for
me has been unbelievable.
But 1 want to remind you to
pray often for my mother-in
law and my daughter. They
are still struggling to accept
the difficult disappointments
in their lives.
Also, let's remember to
pray for every person who is
dealing with die loss of a
loved one- through death,
divorce, or some other kind of
separation. And for those
here at home, in places
plaqued, by famine and dis
ease, and in situations where
there is no freedom-who face
crises every day.
Each of us-in this life
needs to know the love of God
and the caring of atl east one
other human being. When we
have experienced this, 1 be
lieve we have the privilege
and responsibility tb share
God's love and our concern
with those around us- in this
world.

Robeson Stalls On
New Planning Board
LUMBERTON ? The Robes->n County Board of
Commissioners stopped short of adopting an ordinance
creating a county planning board Monday, although it
was prepared to do so until a commissioner questioned
proposed boundaries for the board
Commissioner Luther Herndon said after the
meeting that he voted against forming a planning
board because there's been "some possible misunder
standing" among some people about "what we're
voting on."
A public hearing Monday night was unattended.
Ilerndon was the only commissioner to vole against
the proposal and he told the baord that he was
hesitant because he initially understood the planning
board would assist in controlling development in a
one-mile zone outside Lumberton's mile-wide extra
territorial zoning corridor.
A second mile-wide band was turned over to the city
by the board in liiftl in what one commissioner
privately described as a "boo boo."
Commissioner H.T. Taylor said he had heard
residents of his district, which'stn u lies from part of
Lumberton into some of the rwr.il outlying area
affected by the second mile-wide ?>? i. umiplaining of
higher service fees by the cii> .mil higher building
costs under the city's zouing authoritv
Earlier this month the Lumborton City Council voted
to return control of the outer or second mile-wide zone
to the county, following a September vote to take back
the extra mile from the city. Unless commissioners
set up zoning ordinances the city may retain its
zoning authority in the outer mile until Eeb. t, says
City Attorney David Unlet
Until the board's Nov. meeting, when a second
vote is required on (lie issue, the ordinance, adoption
of a set of by-laws and appointment of a
seven member planning board have been put on
? hold."

. .n .mailing of which countv-owned vehicles are.

lollowed a request from county Water Department
administrator Grady Chavis for a county vehicle for
his use.
Taylor also asked Martin for an accounting of the
number of dollars spent in each commissioner's
district for recreation, alter Commissioner Wyvis
Oxondine requested a $?.?* appropriation to develop
a Utile League ball park in Prospect.
