I've always fell thai Pern * brake is one of the most ? ^tkcUing and unique towns in 'rtnrerica: that's why I am '"involved in the doings of the Pembroke Chamber of Com merce. I am serving as president of the Pembroke ~ " Chamber of Commerce again , this year, and I invite you to joiin me in enhancing Pem ' biroke-the economic and spir t itqal capitol of the Lumbee Our next meeting is next Thursday (March 21) at 12 e.''-Noon.

Conic out and see ' what we are doing. .THINKING ABOUT REV. . CHESLEY McNEILL... I've been listening to a -gospel tape the last few days Vi. ;iof-Che McNeill Family, made ? up of the talented off spring of >; Rev. and Mrs. Cheslcy Mc ?i. - Nkill. It's a joy to hear them. It brings back good memories of when we used to "church" ?**'"n>jtefher 'at Deep Branch Church.' Rbv. McNeill ?*' wijfy the pastor there when I "" Accepted the Lord Jesus ? Christ as my personal Savior. I have not been the same since. The McNeills eventually left Deep Branch and were instrumental in building Riv erside Independent Baptist Church on Highway 74 where Rev. McNeill is the pastor. I stayed at Deep Branch. Hcls been sick for some time now. and he has been in my thuaghls and prayers. We never forget the one who introduces us to Jesus Christ. He preached that morning on the second chapter of Phil lipians...where the writer (Paul) talks about Christ and how we will react when we stand before the Judgment Bar. Paul said that all of us would bow our knees and acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior. Paul said "Every knee will bow...", and I was moved to step out of the ranks of the lost and bow in subjection before Christ. I've never forgotten the peace that descended upon me. And I've never forgotten Rev. Chesley McNeill, the one who led me to Christ. I wish him well, and solicit your prayers in his behalf. I love him as my Christian mentor and time *nd distance can never chan ge that unerring fact. HEARING FOR THE PEMBROKE RAILROAD STATION IS MONDAY The Pembroke Historic Properties Ccntmission and the Pembroke Town Council will be holding a public hearing Monday night (March 18) beginning at 7 p.m. As Chairman of the Commission, I will ask the chamber to declare the Pembroke Rail road Station "an historic property." hopefully so that the abandoned depot can be saved as an historical marker in Pembroke. The building, built in 1888. is the oldest standing structure in Pem broke. and possibly in Robe son County. It is part of our heritage, and historically sig nificant to all of us. If you have any comments pro or con-you/ are invited to attend this meeting and ex press them. As soon as the building is declared "histor ically significant" we'll b{ developing, a. fund raising campaign. Some folks have reserva tions about a restoration effort, but I am not one of them. I am thankful to the Pembroke Chamber of Com merce for broaching the idea of saving the depot. We'll do the rest...right? THE CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE IS NOT ALWAYS SUNSHINY And. finally, let me state with resolution that the Christian experience is not always sunshiny, in spite of Rev. Ike and sundry rabble rousers who declare other wise. Trauma and troubles are the Christian's fare, and the joy is realized only when we face up to problems in our life. None of us are going to live forever on this earthly plane, but we can live suc cessfully and victoriously. It's how we do it that is important and not. necessarily, what happens to us. I cling to Jesus with an eternal grip, believing that peace can only be found in His presence. Let trouble come, and I'll stare the doomsday sayer in the eye until he turns away. We are saved by grace, i and peace is our arbiter in the face of life's little storms, i I am satisfied with Jesus. And. consequently. I find no fault in Him. Anyway, trouble is joy turned inside out. We simply have to wait until the silver lining emerges from the clouds that haunt us from time to time. I need your prayers; I can say little more. i Letters Friends of the Arts solicited Dear Friends of the Arts: The Lambee Regional De velopment Association's Lambee River Native Ameri can Center for the Arts is soliciting your patronage for our production of "Grease."

ILLINOIS CAB DRIVER FINDS "GOOD FOLKS "IN PEMBROKE Stranded Illinois cab driver AcMei Altman [left] foond "good folks" in Pembroke; among them being Pembroke policeman Jeff Locklear and Police Chief Kiifoy Amnions, two of those who helped a stranger in distress. Altman left for Illinois saying, "I wfll never forget the good folks in Pembroke.'1 PEMBROKE-Being a trusting soul and a Christian, Arlington Heights. Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) cab driver Achiel Altman was convinced to drive a Pembroke man home for a fee of $600, payable upon completion of the journey. They made it as far as Highway 74, and the cab broke down suddenly. The cab fare walked off and left Altman alone, stranded in a strange place. Altman felt terribly alone that February morning with 30 cents in his pocket. Altman used the change to call the operator, and she providentially put him in touch with the Pem broke Polioe Department. #?y h> his rescue. anamlthough the recalcitrant calf fare could not be located and, because of the judicial restraints, no redress of the problem could be resolved, Altman found "good folks" in Pembroke. Pembroke policeman Jeff Locklear, Police Chief Kirby ' Ammons, members of the fire department, and members of the community responded as only Pembroke can when called upon to do so. Locklear allowed Altman to stay with him one night, found lodging for him in the Baptist House near the Pembroke State University campus another night, and some $300 was raised from churches, and just "good folks" in the Pembroke area. Locklear remembers, "When Altman found out that nobody he knew could help him he began to cry...he didn't know how he was going to get back to Illinois." An alternator bought at Pem broke Auto Parts "for cost." and the nimble ringers of the members of the Pembroke Fire Department put Alt man's cab back in operation. Altman said, "1 will never forget the people of Pern broke; they are beautiful and I will never forget them," as he prepared for his long journey back home. The journey was made a little more bearable because of the "good folks" in Pembroke who responded to a stranger in distress. Locklear said it best when he exulted. "It really makes you feel good inside when you can help someone. The people of Pembroke should be happy today." . 42nd Wedding Anniversary Observed i*ir. ana Mrs. Willie and Roberta Locklear were marri ed March 7, 1943. They observed their forty-second wedding anniversary on Mar ch 10, 1985. To this union were born four children. They are: James Wilbert Locklear, Kulh Helen Locklear, Virginia Carter and Johnnie Locklear. - The family is looking forward to many happy returns of the day. And report that they are all happy in Christ. ~1 Pharmaciit ffgr/itd Pembroke Draff Center ' Save your kid's vision Much of your child's learning occurs through his vulnerable eyes.
