EDITORIAL PAGE J AS I !SEEIT by I | k i Brace 11 *? I Barton Julian Pierce and Harvey Godwin, Jr. Deserve Our lhanks For He fusing To Allow Strike At The Wind To Fold I had decided to.sit out this season of Strike at the Wind. Afterall, as I'see 1. I feel like 1 have paid by dues and it is time for some of these young whippersnappers to step forward, and carry the ball for awhile. That was my thinking until I was approached by Harvey Godwin, Jr. and Julian Pierce and asked "to help the "drama." So. here 1 am., at forty-five, emoting as "Sheriff King" for yet another seMftpi Xdid it for the drama, of course, and the heroism of Henry-Jt^try Lowrie that the show espouses, but mostly I did it for?l)j2t*n and Harvey, two persistant fellows if I am any judge of persistant folk. Julian, now the qh'girman, and Harvey, tTie vice-chairman of the board of director* of the drama, and emoting again as Henry Berry Iovtrie !in this eventful twelfth season, have refused to say ""><}" to vandals, to penny- pinching commissioners, an<)*4 apathetic public. Hfcrvey is fond of saying "Man, we've-got to do it for Strike at the Wind." And you know that he's -right. Senator Tony taaml is speaking tonight at the Ramada Inn in I,umherton at a benefit banquet and art exhibit for Strike at the Wind. Painters Shelia Godwin (Harvey's wife) and Ellis Sampson are the featured artists. An auction of some of their works follows, with Danny DeVane doing the honors. It's another way of keeping the spirit of Strike at the Wind alive for another season. Proceeds go to the drama. My hat's 6ff to Julian Pierce and Harvey Godwin, Jr. I admire go getters, those who refuse to give in to any obstacle. Strike at the Wind win live for a thousand seasons, as long as people like Julian and Harvey step forward to take the mantel of leadership. Julian Pierce and Harvey Godwin, Jr. deserve our thanks for refusing to allow Strike at the Wind to fold. One Of The Reasons We Need A Newspaper... As many of you know, I am the catalyst and originator of the mmiomonl ir\ cut;o srtrl nocfnro t Pdmhmifp RJ?i 1IWIH Hl?nnt In the beginning, no one paid much attention and shunted me aside. But, since we have secured teh land for a new site and raised a few dollars, and convinced the railroad to give us the historical structure, the project now seems possible and do ahle. Town officials are now convinced it can be done and ^ th? project has been moved up a notch-anihe agenda. Lota of people are taking credit for something they had hardly anything to do with, especially in the early days. It's reaHynot thit important who gets credit for something that need? to be dope, like saving the Pembroke Railroad Depot But people ought to tell the truth abdut it and report it correctly. I am talking about a story that appeared in the Community News-Advertiser (that Scotland County journalis tic infringer) last week in reference to the railroad depot First of all. I had asked the town officials not to divulge the story until we were ready, especially since we were the ones who originated the idea. I am also in the newspaper business, and I don't like to get scooped...and that's the truth. Too. the story was inaccurate and misrepresented the facts in the story. They did not even mention Bruce Barton, chairman of the Pembroke Historic Commission, the real medium for saving the station. And Fm glad they didn't; I would have been mad as fire. We Indians ought to be careful about what we tell outsiders; They seldom ever get the names right. I want Pembroke to help me save the railroad depot, but I want them to be cool about it and give credit where credit is due. Some of our officials need to learn how to say, "no comment," especially when they are called upon by newspapers outside the town, and county. I don't worry about competition. I do worry about officials from the town and chamber of commerce giving their news out and making it seem like I have been scooped when in fact, most of the time, our folks Simply gave the news away without any thought of how it effects the l<?cal newspaper. I don't like to be hateful about it, bat I want some respect and cooperation from those in charge. Please! Think about what you're saying when some of those interpolators approach you. They might be wanting you to give away the company secrets. F ve been quiet too long about these folks like the Community News Advertiser and Robco News, two local newspapers encroaching on our territory. Recognize them for what they are: they want your advertising dollar and they want to take it to.Lomberton and Ieurinburg as quick as they can. That's the intent"period. Don't be fooled!! One of th? rfcaiehs we need a newspaper like the Indian Voice is to showcase and tell our own story. We have depended on "outsiders" too long. They hardly ever get it right *Whfc It , I'm,, />.

I have recently met with the local Indian organizations and shared some concerns with them. There are some businesses in Pembroke who have treated the local newspaper with dizain. We plan to do something about it If we have to marni. I ask you to hear us I out and. if possible, to join us in the streets...if it comes to | that. Businesses like the major food stores are economic guests in our communit\: they ought to treat us with respect It is disrespectful, and condescending, for major businesses to come to IVmhroke and ask us to buy their groceries and goods and services and refuse to advertise in the local newspaper, while advertising full page spreads in the Iomberton and Iaurinhurg periodicals. That s condescending to me. as I see it. And I plan to do something about it. I ask you to pray for us. and to help lis if you can in good conscience.

Ranting N' Raving A Poacher I'm Not By Garry Lewis Barton The greatest tad sweeping the good ol' U.S. of A. to day seems to be losing weight. Everybody seents to be pr?*jcupied with the idea of dieting. Or just about everybody. You see, I'm what folk might call a traditionalist. I believe in the things America stands lor?apple pics, hoi dogs and Chevrolet* Yet, since I can't afford a Chevrolet I feel some hat compelled to double up 011 the other two. And tl t's why when someone saunters up to me and asks: "f y^Jjairy! What're you up to?" I invariably have to am .er: "About 245 and gaining." But, like most fat li k, I'm always a'dieting. ()i jogg ing, or doing somethi g to get me back down to where I can "pinch an inch" nstead of "grab some flab." I remember a whi back when I was a'dieting. My companion had us on 1 diet of poached eggs. Now folk, if you ask me, if God .neani for folk 10 eat poached eggs h#? u/nnIMn*! hnvp imontoil f khnrltMfinu You see, to poach an egg, really all you do is bring some water to a boil, crack an egg and chunk it in the water without the shell. Actually what you're doing is boiling an egg without the shell. Now don't that beat the bugs a'fighting? Anyway, I hadn't eaten anything in about three hours. Danged it I weren't as hungry and ornery as an old half-starved yard dog. I'd growl a while. And my of stomach would growl a while, finally, my friend couldn't tell which one of us it was a'growling, so she ig nored both of us and continued the ritual of poaching the ol' eggs. Anyway, if I thought that of naked egg looked lonely and forlorn in the midst of all that boiling water, it weren't nothing compared to how pitiful it looked in the middle of that big plate?a plate I might add that I was used to seeing overflowing with real food. And, lo and behold! I dabbed at the yellow of that egg with the corner of a slice of toasted bread. Just as I broke through the thin layer of while the yellow com menced to run. And I soon followed suit; yea, I cut out just as hard as my of legs could carry me. Destination: the bathroom. What was so funny was that ny It tend had been a'try ingtoget me to jog tor about three mom lis. Danged it it ain't strange how diHerein lolk are inspired in different ways by different things? Anyhow, by the time I finished spilling my guts in the commode, my companion who evidently has a stronger stomach than me had finished with her poached eggs. So, while she wa-> hi the bedroom a'wat chin' I V, I sneaked into the kitchen and chunked me three hot dog wieners and two links ol sausage into that boiling water. When she walked in about five minutes later and caught me right smack dab in the middle of in haling one of the links ol sausage I seen t iglit away there weren't no use trying to he my way out ol it. So I con fessed right up - since I was caught red-handed any way, ? "I don't know why you're so cuss-fii\d mad,'' I told her. "At least I poached the hot dogs and sausage." Now, I've become resigned to the fact that I'm gonna always be fat and out of shape. And if someone comes up to me and points to my stomach and says something smart about my big gut I'm gonna tell ihent like my friend Carnell Locklear once said: "If you have something of value, you build a shelter over it." We'll talk again folk. Meanwhile, pass the pork n' beans. iRlilTWiCilft'Tiffilii Pi Mn)1 ill flnilRl fflll i PifPiffi Independence Day Celebrations (>ne of <nir founding fathers, ?iulin Adams, wrote nt Inde pendente Day in a letter to his wile.

Opposition tp Name Change Still Strong As Ever To the Editor: On a cold winter night in early 1985 I received a telephone call from Dr. Adolph Dial and his temper, unlike the weather was boiling hot Dr. Dial informed me that Dr. Paul Givens and Co. of Pembroke State University was meeting at Chapel Hill the following day with the committee composed of members of the UNC Board of Governors. Purpose of this meeting was to emphasize the importance of a nan.e change for Pembroke State University. Dr. Dial was informed of this meeting by a friend in Chapel Hill. Dr. Dial asked me to ride with him and Bruce Barton to Chapel Hill and support opposition to this ridiculous suggestion of Pembroke State University name change. Our presentation of opposition to the Pembroke State University name change was well received by the Board of Governors committee. The Pembroke State University name change was tabled because of the opposition offered by Barton. Dial and Godwin rather than the alleged story of making ready for the Pembroke State University Centennial observed in late 86 and early 87. I am not embarrassed to admit that I am still learning and not so much from the person with a degree before and or after the name by the fact that so many place no value on integrity, honesty and accountability. One fact has changed since early 1985. This ch;inge being Dr. Adolph Dial has made a 180 degree turn. I promise not to qqL- fW r*ial what tho nnHnnc worn anH nprhans whrit thpv still are that brought the turn-around of his suppo ed strong opposition to the Pembroke State University name change of early 1985. Another fact is a claim by the admisssions office of Pembroke State University that enrollment is greater than ever before. This fact was established without a name change. Another fact is the lack of advertising on the part of Dr. Paul Givens and Co. The only time the University of North Carolina is associated with Pembroke State University is when a few lazy people want a name change brought about. When a person calls Pembroke State University no mention is made of the fact that it is a campus of the University of North Carolina System. Dr. Paul Givens and Co. you should start immediately telling all persons where and what your job site is. I am sure it will be advantageous over the excuse of a name change. Successful colleges and universities everywhere are aware they have to advertise their product, rather than change their name. John L Godwin Pembroke THEN'NOW! Two hundred and ten years ago, an experiment in repre sentative government was launched here which opened the door to a new era of growth and prosperity: the United States of America. A new educational organization offers some intriguing in sights into the past and pre sent of that great experiment THEN: Historians at the group, CAUSA USA, point out that the U.S. was born from a belief in God and a commit ment to freedom. Although America has no official reli gion. they explain, belief in 'I - God ig-the^hdasophicsflAatt < of our republic. NOW: In modern America, the organization sees a de cline of religious values, in creasing immorality and the spread of atheistic com munism. Over 50,000 reli gious, civic and community leaders have participated in seminars and other programs on these issues sponsored by the group. Anyone can learn more about this organization, or help it return America to a belief in God by writing lor free brochures or sending tax deductible donations to CAUSA USA, Dept. 400 One Penn Plaza, Suite 100.
