Plans Finalized For New
Fire Department In Pembroke
PEMBROKE-Plans were fi
nalized Monday night be
tween the Pembroke Town
Council and the Scuffletown
Rural Fire Department which
spells out how the new fire
department in Pembroke will
be administered. The new fire
department will serve as
headquarters for both the
Pembroke Fire Department
and the Scuffletown Rural
Fire Department.
Mayor Milton Hunt called it
"a good thing" for the town
and the rural fire department
and predicted that the two
agencies would continue to
maintain a cordial and coop
erative relationship as they
have done for a number of
years. Both fire fighting units
operate out of the present fire
department in Pembroke.
The new fire department
facility will be built on the
former Cook property (behind
Woodell's Park and Shop).
The location was once the
source of a hotly contested
legal battle between former
property owner Alfred Cook
and the Town of Pembroke,
and was eventually settled
essentially in favor of the
town. Estimated costs are
S90.000 which will be jointly
borne by the town and the
rural fire department.
In other matters...council
was informed by Town Man
ager McDuffie Cummings
that the 201 Sewer Improve
ment project would have to be
cut back 2100 feet of sewer
line because of budgetary
factors. According to Cum:
mings, bids over ran expecta
tions by some $35,000. Delet
ed were a proposed 1500 feet
of sewer line for first Street
and 600 feet on College Road
running toward the junior
high school,
and...
approved a proposal that
would place a memorial to the
late and esteemed scout lead
er. Walter Pinchbeck in the
Pembroke Town Park. The
proposal was put forth by
Simeon Oxendine. The rec
reation department was des
ignated to work with Oxen
dine and others who are
developing the salute to
Pinchbeck in honor of his
many years of scouting lead
ership for Pembroke vouth.
The council also approved a
letter to the Seaboard System
Railroad formally requesting
that the railroad donate the
abandoned railroad depot to
the Pembroke Historic Prop
erties Commission.
The council also named
Stacy Locklear to the planning
board, heard a positive report
concerning the community
development project under
way in the Jones Street area;
approved an allocation to the
Pembroke Rescue Squad of
S1300 to assist them in
expanding their facility on
Union Chapel Road; and
called a public hearing for
August 19 at 7 p.m. to
consider a zoning ordinance
change requested by Monroe
Lowry, a former councilman.
Shown hi front of the site of
the projected new fire depart
ment are several officials
involved in the progressive
development. They are [in
front] Pembroke Town Man
ager, McDuffle Cummings;
Joe Jones, member of the
Scuffletown Rand Fire De
partment and presently chief;
and Mayor Milton Hunt:
In rear [left to right) James
Locldear, a member of the
Scuffletown Rural F.D.; Eu

and former chief of Scuffle
town Rand F.D.; and Ray

building is expected to con
tain approximately 40,000
square feet.

Dear Pastor and Church Member,
My name is Bruce Barton, editor of The Carolina Indian Voice newspaper, located in
Pembroke, North Carolina. I am also a fervent supporter of 'Strike at die WtadI', the
popular, musical outdoor drama about the fine people of Robeson County and Henry
Berry Lowrie--his friends and foes, it is a fine drama, one that depicts the Civil War era
with honesty and dignity. All races and all people are treated fairly and, as in real life,
some were scoundrels and some were morally upright folk.
The drama runs each season at Riverside Country Gub (at the Lakeside
Amphitheatre) in the Red Banks Comrpunity, approximately 3 miles west of Pembroke.
The season runs this year from July 6 through September 7, and is performed each
Thursday. Friday and Saturday night at 8:30 p.m.
I feel strongly about the drama and look for ways to help promote it. 1 truly believe in
the dignity of man as presented in 'Strike at the Wind!'. This year, as our small
contribution, we have chosen August 23as Church Night and we have publicly vowed
to fill up the audience on this night. We are sort of out on a limb, and we need your
church's help to get off the proverbial limb.
The Carolina Indian Voice and area churches are promoting August 23 this year as
"Church Night." We hope to see the parking lot full of church busses and the audience
full of the fine, church-going people of Robeson County. The show is good, family
entertainment. And I believe it will be a good outing for your church.
We plan to give away a huge trophy to the church that brings the largest cro#d. The
trophy will be something your church can proudly display as The night our church
brought the most people to 'Strike at the Wind!'. Plaques will be given for 2nd and 3rd
place.
I myself am a member of Deep Branch Baptist Church. I plan to present this proposal
to my church and encourage them to participate as we have done over the last few
years.
This is a show that Christians can support, as I see it; it tells the story of Robeson
County through her people, the way they thought and acted and commingled with one
another during the Civil War era. The themes of the show are a fair reflection of those
troubled times.
We look forward to seeing you and your church represented on this night. Please talk
to your folks about it and mark it on your calendar ?? August 23.
We hope to see you there!
If you have any questions about 'Charch Night' you may call me at the office of The
Carolina Indian Voice [521-2826] or the office of <S<riko at the Wkadt' [$21-3112].
We hope you will help us make Angnst 24 the best and biggest crowd ever to attend
'Strike at the Wind!'. I recommend the show to you.Ve church fck ought to support
good fami'v entertainment, something we can safely bring our children to eee. We
hope to see you at 'Striks at the Wind!' on August 24. As noted earlier, a gospel shtg
will be held at 7 p.m. and the drama at 8:30 p.m.
Hope to see you there.
Sincerely.
