AS I SEE IT... Bruce Barton Possibly my last season in Strike at the Wind! RED BANKS- I have possibh finished mv last season as Allen Lowrie (Henrv Berrv l.ovvrie's daddv) in Strike at the Wind', the popular outdoor drama about Henrv Berr> Lowrie and his white. black and red friends and foes in ol" Robeson. It's alwavs a hoot but I was worn out this season, noting that I will be 6! >ears old come October I. The season . thankfully came to a close, without a rain out. Salurdav night (August 10). And the crowds were decent and appreciative In the 24 seasons of Strike at the \\ ind' I have plaved Allen Lowrie a bunch, at least 8 times, and one season il probablv shouldn't tell this ...) I emoted as Sheriff Rueben King when no one else stepped forward to plav the role I have made manv wonderful friends during those hot and humid nights, and none that I respect more than Robert Brvant. who has plaved Shoemaker John since the show's inception in ld~6 Robert Brvant might be the most honorable man I have met since returning to Robeson Counts in ld"2 to start the Carolina Indian Voice Newspaper. Now ~u something. Robert is still going strong and talking about coming back next vear "if thev'll have me."

Reader says Let's Save the Trees at the new Pembroke Town Hall Dear Connie, Allow me to say a word on behalf of the two large pecan trees standing on the property line on the right hand sjdc of the field on which the new town hall will be built on the Union Chapel Road. These trees arc beautiful, have been there along time and may be deemed as landmarks. They provider shade and as many of us know arc God's air conditioners, in that a tree that si/.c pumps hundreds of gallons of water into the surrounding air everyday The water of course is in the form of w ater vapor, but it is in the form of w ater vapor but ut does cool the air. 1 know that new trees will be planed on the site, but the presence of these established tree would add much to the handsome appearance of the planned and needed new tow n hall. I w ish to go on record as opposed to the planned destruction of these magificicnl trees If the trees are on the property line, that 's all the more reason to leave them there to make the line In all these years the weight of the pecans has never caused them to loose any limbs and I sec no reason to be suddenly afraid of the trees on that score Wes Taukchiray Maxton, NC Then There Was Spring Underneath the dead limbs hovers life It is onlv asleep but no one seems to notice it t Until Mother Nature speaks her magic words No one hears only a sound that comes from the South Onlv there was the sound of the wind w histling through the pines Not long before a cloud I saw rain drops follow ing close behind With each passing night and day There is the sound of singing bids oh so loud So is the mystic time of the cricket underneath the dead leaves So is in every passing winter then and there was Spring Submitted by Rev.
