Hunt Announces His
Candidacy For Re-Election
Mayor Milton R. Hunt
Milton R. Hunt, Mayor of
the Town of Pembroke has
announced his candidacy for
re-election to that office. He is
a former three term council
man who also served as
Mayor Pro-Tern during that
time. Hunt, a life long resi
dent of Pembroke resides at
the corner of Fifth and Breece
streets. A successful business
man, Hunt owns Hunts Dry
wall. He has been engaged in
the construction industry for
the past twenty-two years.
For many years Hunt has
been active in various civic
and governmental public ser
vice positions. He is a former
member and Vice-Chairman
of Robeson Technical College
Board of Trustees and a
former member of Cardinal
Health Agency. In 1182 he
was awarded the prestigious
"Freedom Guard" Award by
the North Carolina Jaycees.
The award was one of three
presented statewide for gov
ernment and civic service.
Hunt, an avid sportsman, is
founder and President of the
Big Buck Hunting Club. He is
married to the former Polly
Deese. They have two school
age children, Anthony age 17,
and Kimberly age 14.
In making his announce
ment for re-election, Hunt
cited several accomplish
ments and on-going projects
of which he is proud to have
played a part in. "The Town
of Pembroke has received 2.4
million dollars in Community
Development grants during
my tenure as Councilman and
Mayor," said Hunt. Accord
ing to Hunt Pembroke has
"doubled" its worth in the
past ten years. He contributes
this unprecedented growth in
part to good solid long range
growth plans that he has seen
adopted during his service as
Councilman and Mayor. "One
of the major responsibilities of
the leadership of a municipal
ity is to promote its growth.
Quality controlled growth pro
motes the economic well
being of all our citizens and
helps to distribute the burden
of paying for services provid
ed on a more equitable basis.
Projects such as our 201
Sewer Expansion Program
($611,000) now under con
struction. a new Water Treat
ment Plant ($175,000) now in
operation and sewer plant
modifications which have in
creased the town's treatment
capacity by 30% have helped
foster good growth. The fact
that the Town of Pembroke
has enjoyed over two million
dollars worth of new construc
tion in the last two years alone
is very much evidence of this.
"These are the type pro
grams I've worked for and
want to continue working
for." said Hunt. "They are
vital to our survival and
growth as a municipality. 1
earnestly solicit your vote for
my re-election as your Mayor
on Tuesday, November 5.
1985."

Ronald Hammonds Seeks
Re-Election to EMC Board
Ronald Hammond*
In the past three years I
have represented you the
LREMC consumers with
sound decision making. My
nine years of employment
with a utility company has
enabled me to determine
where costs could be cut and
by what means. Cost cutting
measures have been imple
mented that allowed your
co-op to absorb CP & L rate
hikes, decrease the number of
employees while continuing to
provide quality service and
other numerous benefits you
have read about in the Co-op
newsletters.
I hope you will continue to
allow me to represent you by
voting for Ronald Hammonds
October 15. My past record
proves that I am a servant to
the consumer with no expec
tation of being served by the
consumer My future record
will reflect the same.
Thank Yon,
Ronald Hammonds
