Native American'* ar* the moat
aatute people there haa even been or
ever will be. They are cunning
wrought to whip Custer, at the little
Big Horn, in the late 1800" a Hrey
were shrewd enough to out trick
whites for years on end. Htejr are
crafty enough to live on and raise
food on land, where whites would die
of starvation. They are wise enough
to see into the future and prepare
their selves for it They ate subtle
enough to hoop their btminoaa quite
and never tell ail their secrete And
by the grace oi God they are ha aping
enough to still whip the whites and
Joe FVeeman Britt.
Native Americans will rise again
they have always been beaten down
by whites, but not out. no we ate not
out.

my heart is Native American by the

Survey Denotes Major
Drug Problem I n
Pembroke Area
by Chuck Godfrey
Recently 61 homes in the Pem
broke area were contacted regarding
a community religious and tempe
rance survey. Hie results of the
survey were most interesting and
indicate that there is a major drug
problem in Pembroke. To many this
may be nothing new, but the key is to
change the "do nothing, hope-it-will
go-away" attitude of the public. To
many of the citizens are afraid to get
involved in fighting the drug prob
lem. Many consider the responsibil
ity to be that of the law enforcement
agencies, or one's neighbor, or the
guy down the street on the corner
anyone but met But the problem is
one that affects society, and when
society is affected, each of us are.
In.fhct, out of the61 surveys taken,
60 affirm that they think a drug
problem exists in Pembroke. 1 had
no opinion.
Another interesting fact from the
survey indicates that alcohol is also a
serious problem in Pembroke. 54 of
the respondents to the survey said
"yes" to the question, "Do you think
we have a serious problem with
alcoholism in this city?" 4 said "no"
and 3 had "no opinion." Alcohol
reduces the capabilities of one to
think and be rational and people will
often do things after a few drinks that
they would never do in their normal
state of mind. Could it be that alcohol
might be part of the reason thst
drugs have made such an in-road into
the community? Could it be that one
habit can lead to another? Could it be
that addiction to anything that ties
one to itself could be cause for
alarm?
21 of those surveyed responded
"yes" to the question, "Do you
smoke?" 40 said "no." Many of
those who responded "yes" indica
ted a desire to quit As a result it is
expected that sometime in the next
few months a free "stop smoking"
plan will be offered to the residents
of the Pembroke area so that those
who want to "kick the habit" can
take advantage of being free from
tobacco.
Another question that was asked
was "Are you interested in improv
ing your knowledge of the Bible?" Of
those answering "yes," 37 asked for
Bible studies, either in person or by
mail, to help them in their desire to
understand their Bible better. Stu
dies are available for anyone who
would like to take them, either in
person or my mail by writing to'' The
Bible Correspondence," P.O. Box
64397, Fayetteville, NC28306. These
are free lessons and there is no cost
or obligation Perhaps putting Christ
and Christianity in our lives is the
best deterent to the problems noted
above. If you think that is true, and if
you are interested in knowing God's
word in a more full and rewarding
way, you are invited to attend the
"Springs of Living Water*' crusade
which begins Saturday night at 7:30
p.m. The location is at the junction of
Highways 710/711, just two miles
West of Pembroke State University.
This is an all denominations welcome
event It is not for any specific
denomination or sect It is for those
who have a thrist and a desire for a
greater knowledge of God's word as
we face some of the final events of
earth's history and as we prepare for
the second coming of Jesus. There
will be special meetings for the
children ages 6-12, a nursery for
those under 6, and a free gift to
everyone who comes this Saturday
evening. Everyone Is Invited attend!

Protecting Your Skin
Beautiful and healthy akin
can go hand-in-hand with fun
in the aun if you heed the fol
lowing helpful hints
? Protect your skin with a
sunscreen keyed to your color
ing and tanning type. Lower
SPF (Sun Protection Factor)
numbers are for darker skins;
higher numbers offer more pro
tection and are best for lighter
skins. Don't forget to protect
your lipa, which are particular
ly sensitive to the sun's harm
ful rays, with a lip balm.
? Take advantage of fash
ionable sun cover-ups such as
hats, sunglasses and visors to
look chic while protecting del
icate facial skin.
? In summer, when you
tend to wash more frequently,
you may prefer to cleanse with
a mild, non-drying beauty bar
such as Dove. It contains one
quarter moisturizing cream to
help skin stay soft and smooth.
? Refrigerated mineral
water can be used to refresh
a dry complexion. Pour some
into a spray bottle and spritz
it lightly over your face for an
Instant pick-me-up. Also drink
plenty of water to moisturize
your face from within'

your own home spa offers
more tips to help you "rev up*
for summer beauty. For a copy,
