EDITOR IAL PAGE PEOPLE A ND PL A AND THINGS By Brace Barton in * ' QUKMELDCKLEARNOW FKHTING FDR JESUS Quinnie Loddear, 88, has finally hong up his ^ona after 18 lunftimliiiial boxing boats in which he found himself squared off ones against Gerry Cooney, among others. He did not hue too wefl against Cooney, falling in a first round technical knock oat He remembers, "Cooney was hitting me from every direction, and broke my noee for die first time." He was Coooey's "third or fourth victim." He's not sure, but it was early on in Coooey's career. Cooney eventually fought Larry Bahneo for die heavyweight crown, falling in the 18th "round. & was a mean life, and Quinnie most of the time found in the ring with men just a little too big for him. He usually fought at 190 lbs., and that's small for the heavyweight division. But promoters liked Quinnie: He was always a good test for those ticketed for stardom. Quinnie always came forward, and fought with reckless abandon. He pnased the fight..always. He "made good fights." Quinnie Lochiasr, reared in Robeson County (he attended Magnolia School), has been tiding in Baltimore, Maryland "on and off since 1964." He was visiting his relatives and Mends last week and dropped by to see me. His father is Ebb Tinklesi. and he also has two brothers living in the area: Tommy Loddear and Billy Loddear (in the St Pauls area). He told me that he had finally given up the fight game. He traveled a lot and appeared on a lot of championship cards. He remembers meeting Don King, the controversial promoter, and former champion, Roberto Duran, Marvin Johnson and more. He once trained in Joe Fraxier's gym in Philadelphia and sparred with Marvie Fraxier. -But oae day "I looked in the mirror and knew that I was old fori fighter...and that I was lost" He turned to Jesus, and is nowembarMng on a life of ministry " fighting for Jesus." He's stiB aim and trim and looks like he could still go a few rounds TtoDsvil now has a worthy adversary in front of him. Quinnie oweetakl me, "I never learned how to back up. I don't know if it cams from boing an Indian growing up in Robeson County or what., maybe I would have done better in the fight game if I DM HUMd BOW tO reVOSt OB OCOMOO. Hi wants to be ? food example far the young. He wants to ahow them the way, aad let die young ones know that life sMhaiit Jasm la a barren and uninspiring one. He plans to spend mors time in the county, and is now attending lit Airy Baptist Church when he is in die area and "will probably join tb-*? as a member" in time. ImIii BrhilwaMp Fadawamoottog Friday There tea lot to do. We are meeting Friday sf the Pembroke ffahnhsahlp Endowment I hope yon can attend. The meeting wll begin at 7 p.m. do far, we have received 9488.00 in contributions. We have > set a goal of $60,000 and have based our goal on $1.00 from each at the estimated 60,000 Lnmbees in Robeson and beyond. We plan to preeent the $80,000 gift to Pembroke State Matvassttj on March 6, 1987 as the university celebrates its imm birthday. 1 would be a shame if they had a birthday party and we didn't show up. Afterall, our forebears were the ooss who developed the eehool in its infancy and provided a way for our children to escape educational darkness. It was oalyiater that the net of the world partook of the educational gsadaaas of P8U. f I run the rest of our letters from the Indians in Georgia beginning neat week.

Graduates move on to the Jeffrey Ballet and other com panies. The Company tours its eclectic repertoire year round, through a combination of single engagements and short and long term residencies.

Along with a number of other "lay" Christiana from United Methodist churches throughout the Rockingham district I attended an all-day meeting at Galilee UMC, near Laurinburg, last Sunday. Our purpose in coming together was to learn how we lay members of local congrega tions can be more effective in participating in our church fellowship and in sharing God's "Good News" in our weekly activities outside of the church. I was in the basic group-lay persons who had never taken part in this particular type oi training experience before. Although most of us were strangers at the beginning of the day, before we left tnai night we joined hands, prayed sincere sentence prayers a round the circle, and sang "Blest Be the Tie that Binds Our Hearts in Christian Love.' During the inspirational church worship service that morning I was surprised to glance up and see--just across from me--a stained glass window with the same sym bols as the one Wanda Kay and I presented to First Methodist, Pembroke, in memory of Leon, Donny, and Gordon. Wherever I see those symbols-showing the light of Christ shining down from the cross to the worid-I am impressed. Sunday, January 20, 1988, is a day which I will never forget I hardly dared to dream-wnen I came to N.C. in 1968-and to Robeson Cou nty in 1966-that I would have +Ha rknnrkftiinfHr?ftfl wmmmm Is. *rr~?"v wv ?? ter-to sit around a table in a Black church with dedicated, born-again Christians of all three races, prayerfully explor ing more effective ways of applying the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our daily life as His followers and His servants. Happy 89th Birthday lb My Mother This Thursday, January 23, is Mother's 89th birthday. I had never expected her to out-live my mother in-law. who was nearly eleven years younger. But neither did I expect to out-live two of my own children I On Monday night I called 406-the Montana area code to wish Mother a happy birth day. She said she was feeling very well Also that the i weather was unusually wum for the middle of winter. That the temp has been getting up to around 49 dsgrtu in the middle of the day and has never been above ease at night! However, snow is still i piled in drifts in many places and some fresh snow had fallen that day. Last Sunday the roads wen good enough for Mother to drive to church 18 miles--at Sheridan, Mon- x tana. She says she enjoys being able to get away from home every so often in her B trick Skyiark -the new ear Daddy drove for about a month before his first stroke in the fall of 1978. As usual our relatives and Mother's friends am planning some special activities to help her celebrate this week. She isj to be at my cousin Betty's "double-wide trailer" home--! heroes the road-for a birthday dinner on Thursday.

Six Mistakes Of Man The Roman philosopher and statesman. Cicero, said this some 2,000 years ago, and it is still true today. The six mistakes of man are: 1. The delusion that per sonal gain is made by crush ing others. 2. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we can not accomplish it. 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences. 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and study. 6. Attempting to compel others to believe as we do. ?American Way Features Rex-Rennert Head Start Names King And Queen 14, m? hiphm 1W new Idng and queen at the Rex-Rennert Head Start Center is little Tan Daman Laddear and Jeflery Mor gan.
