EDITORIAL fA GE ! ASI ' jSEEIT t ^4 * ' Brace I Barton J ?? ? ^ DADDY S BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL SINCE LAST WE COMMUNICATED.. My father,' Lew Barton, ahould be getting out of the Veteran's Hospital in Fayette ville in the next few days. Now 68 years old, daddy had a prostate problem and we hope surgery has corrected it He also has "high sugar" or diabetes, and has limited vision. He is considered legal ly blind. In spite of all of that, daddy still has a good outlook on life and is looking forward to getting home. I am sure he would appreci ate your prayers. He still has a lot of writing to do, I hope. He taught me to read good books, and I will always be grateful to him for that I believe the best thing we can do for our children is to teach them how to read, and nurture the life-giving habit TEACHING 9TH GRADERS IS A TOUGH JOB . . BUT I LOVE IT T m happier that I have ever been. Aa many of you know, I am teaching civics and geo graphy at South Robeson High School...and I love it! But Til tell you the truth: teaching ninth graders is one of the toughest jobs I have ever taken on. ' I'm hanging in there though. I am persistent, and I hope that I can make a difference in some of the young lives that I encounter every day. So, the above in large measure, accounts for the fact that I am behind in some of my correspondence and pro jects. Be patient with me. If you've written me, I hope to respond in the next few days.

Check your mat ,' trees An old and worn mat tress may be courting back pain, according to orthopedic ?urgeona. I r=r 1 In a nationwide aurvey, or thopedic surgeons said a quality innerspring mattress and boa spring set is impor tant for the prevention of back problems in adults and chil dren. Most physicians recom ? ' mended a firm to hard inner ? - spring mattress. "Manufacturers' warran ties vary and people differ in the way they put wear on a mattress. A good habit is to " check one periodically for sag* ? and lumps, and for any loas of support," says Arthur Gre han, executive director of the ?' American Innerspring Man , ufacturers (AIM). "Don't give old and worn j . matbeaaes to children or adults , j ' According to the orthopedic sperialiaic. old hand-ma downs ? could encourage beck prob lems," he adds When shopping for a new ' mattress, test the various models thoroughly. Always buy a mattress and box spring in sets. An old box spring will ? reduce the life of the new mat tress and provide less sup port , . You're better off spending ' a little more for better qual ity, Grehan says. "It's worth it if the mattrese can save you I backache " ?* ' I % YflrXY)? 1 ?

A LICKING IN ! ROBESON COUNTY f .4.Or the Mm* they tent Omdy Chavit home from the water department ogam At the moat recent meeting <4 the Robeson County j Commissioners, observers were treated We again to mother | dose of 0T Robeson County politics. In response to a question bum the editor of this newspaper, county manager James Martin admitted that Grady Chavis had been sent home on | administrative leave "with pay" while the water department is undergoing reorganization. That makes the second time Chavis has been sent home. The last time the commissioners sent him peeking, they had to reinstate him after it was brought to their attention by Commissioner Wyvis Oxendine, and county activists, that they had not followed their own pereonnel policy. What is Chavis' problem? He resists those who mistreat him. When challenged, Chavis was reinstated along with Carol Locklear (they had fired her too) with back pay and the same duties, except that he was to report directly to Henry Harris, the county's public works director. Therein is the rub. Harris seemingly reorganized the department without telling Chavis. Chavis was the administrative supervisor to the water department As I understand it Chavis' keys were taken from him, and the employees taken from under his supervision. All this took place while Chavis was awaypn National Guard duty. It's a sad commentary, and leaves one with the decided impression that civil rights is taking a licking in Robeson County. Chavis has filed a civil rights complaint with EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunities Commission), as has a number of other employees in the water department As we see it in these quarters, Chavis and the employees will win their case. Robeson County must shape up, and bring their activities into the 20th Century. No longer can "good old boys" politics prevail. People like Chavis won't take their guff any longer. The sooner the commissioners and county officials find this out the better off Robeson County will be. A tip of the hat to Wyvis Oxendine. He has staunchly resisted the shenanigans of his fellow commissioners...so far to little avail. But watch what we tell you: the county will have to eat crow again. People are wising up. The natives can read and wnte now...and ao a little figuring for themselves. The future looks bright THE CAROLINA INDIAN VOICE P.O. Box 1075 Phone 521-2826 Pembroke, N.

I consider this strange since Aden and Eve is not yet 0,000 years old. Nest I would l{he to com ment on Mr. Brooks' article on sin in the churches. When considering sin in the churches we need to consider that there are four points of view: 1. Permission to sin. Sin is ? ? 1? ?uwwwi mf gv vo wr reign in the church by the other memben and there is no sorrow or care about the sinful condition in the churches. 2. Condemnation of sin. There are those who would condemn and offer no mercy. Besides this there may be those who demonstrate a self righteous, holier than- thou attitude. I think it is best pointed out in the story Jesus told of :< the pharisee and the publican. The pharisee said "I thank God I am not like this fellow. The publican smote his breast and said "God be merciful to me a sinner." Jesus, on one occasion said I came not into the world to condemn the world, but to save. It is so easy for man to condemn and so hard to love. We surely need a return to the Bible. 3. Pardon of sin. In becom fcs* PM,"MCTUdfa* gfoeosas ei rins through til* atoning precious blood of Jans.

If repentance and pardon is refused then the church shou ld reject and with hold fellowship. A. Edward [Eddit] Homme I P.O. Box 1001 Laktvmw, SC 29563 Reader Wonders if '? Miss PSU Is "Fixed" To the Editor I have been doing aome research at P8U abdbt the Miss P8U Pageant H seems that the pageant is open to all races and yet only whites have been selected as Miss PSU since 1972. By die pray, there have been quite a few good Black and Indian 'contestants. I'm not saying this is intentional or that die judges are racists, but it sure seems that way. The pageant Is not just for whites. Maybe the judges should look at what the person does and not what color she is. We always hear that 41 pageants are "fixed" but I don't think all of them are. Bqt there ia sometimes an unconscience "fix" that needs to bp corrected and dealt with. Katie Wilton Pembroke, NC mlmefm Say you read it in...

Schultz, Jr. DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC I Dr. Harvey C. Schultz of the Schultz Chiropractic Center il lustrated an important "good healthkeeping" point when he discussed the question: "What is the cause of pins and needles in the hands ana arms up to the elbows!" The point: The diagnosis of a problem and that patient's understanding of ft is often as im portant as the Doctor's treatment. "This particular person, a man. in his fifties, complained of the 'pins and needles' problem. He said he had the condition for about two months," Dr. Schultz said. While there was a fairly definite idea of the cause of the tingling sensation, he was told that exact diagnosis of his problem was necessary/'related the founder the Schultz Chiropractic Center. "You realize," says Dr. Schultz, "we can't be |ust 'popping off' when a patient asks a question. We must oe able to look him in the eye and give him a firm answer. In this case the patient was thoroughly examined and found to have a nerve and circulatory pro blem, withpressure on a nerve the cause, "the pressure wasn't where the sensation occured, but was in the neck, " said Dr. Schuhz. "Of course, you realize that the nerve trunks extend out and down from the spinal column the neck. "Furthermore, in this in dividual's case, arthritic changes in the bones were exerting the pressure. Needless to say, the man Is being treated for the pro blem right now and, in his words,'successfully'." Dr.Schultz then went on to ex plain his second point: Patient understanding. "When a person has, as in this case, the tingling sensation in the arm, it helps,"says Dr. Schultz' " if he understands some of the con tributing factors to his problem. "Pressure of this nature often develops if he remains in a certain position for a long time. Of course, this would mean the manner in which he lies down to sleep," Ex plains Dr. Schultz. "In other words, diet, habit, ac tivity, so many things, can help or hinder a patient's progress or af fect the acuteness of a disease. You therefore musts have a Doc tor's accurate diagnosis and the patient's full understanding of the problem."
