Event Benefits Camp for Handicapped
Defenders Win Faberge
Golf Benefit Gross
Melissa Williams of Fayetteville
and Lenore Watts of Parkton
successfully defended their gross
crown while Lib Kelly and Pam
Holt of Sanford took the net title in
the annual Faberge Ladies Golf
Classic at Southern Pines last
weekend.
The proceeds went to Camp
Easter-in-the Pines, the summer
residential camp for physically
handicapped owned and operated
by the North Carolina Easter Seal
Society. It is located on a 70-acre
tract just north of Southern Pines.
The tournament was sponsored
by Mr. and Mrs. August Zitzman
and Faberge. Zitzman is Faberge
corporate vice president for manu
facturing and is also general
manager of the company's Raeford
plant. He and his wife, Gail, also
worked with the tournament before
and after it got underway. A
practice round was held Friday,
and the tournament was held
Saturday and Sunday. Linda Hub
bard and Ellie Sowers were co
chairmen of the event.
The Williams-Watt team posted
a 36-hole total of 156 on a pair of
78s to win by four strokes over the
Mid Pines Resort course which was
set up as a par 75 for the better ball
of pair event. Kelly and Holt
carded a two-day net total of 129
with a 65-64 that was good for a
two-stroke victory margin.
Read Hebrews 10:19-25
Let u> consider how to stir up one
another to love and good works, not
neglecting to meet together.
-Hebrews 10:24-25 (RSV)
As a child, did you ever wrap a
piece of twine tightly around your
finger and watch fascinated as the
tip turned fiery red and started to
throb with pain?
When a member has been
temporarily cut off from the rest of
the body, the natural flow of the
life-sustaining blood is not there.
There is no feeling in it. If this is
allowed to go on indefinitely, the
member will die and become
useless to the rest of the body.
Isn't that the unfortunate ex
perience of many of us? We all have
times of low spiritual vitality. "I
can worship God at home just as
well." we say, trying to justify our
antisocial feelings. And indeed we
can worship God at home or on a
lonely job or walking alone.
God calls us to private worship --
during our work and study and
leisure schedule - but God also
calls us to worship with other
believers. We need the warmth and
support of our spiritual brothers
and sisters.
PRAYER: Lord, draw us together
with hymns and handshakes, doc
trines and dinners. Grant that we
may gather In Your name to share
our common faith. Amen.

Deer Said Symptom
Of Water Issue
The critical issue of water mis
management in Southern Florida -
which is threatening to destroy the
Everglades -- has been overlooked
in the current controversy over the
"mercy kill" of stranded deer in the
Everglades, according to the Na
tional Wildlife Federation.
Dr. Jay D. Hair, executive vice
president of the NWF, has charac
terized the conflict over thinning
out starving deer in the Everglades,
which has polarized resident of
Florida in recent weeks, an "un
fortunate symptom of the real
disease." According to Hair, the
real problem in Southern Florida is
a long history of poor natural
resource management which has
severely disrupted the natural
hydrologic system throughout the
Estate.
"If these problems -- which stem
from the combined effect of in
dependent drainage and develop
ment projects over the years -? are
left uncorrected," said Hair, "there
is no doubt in my mind that we will
permanently lose the Everglades ?
one of our most valuable and
unique natural resources."
"The deer are only the latest
victims of the continued degrada
tion of Southern Florida's water
system," said Hair. "We have
already seen other signs of damage,
such as the intrusion of saltwater
into underground aquifers, the
destruction of the Kissimmee
River, the flooding of wildlife
habitats and severe droughts
throughout the state, despite the
fact that Florida gets more rain
than most of the country."
"The health of Florida and its
residents is at stake." said Hair.
"The problem deserves national
attention and should not be over
looked in the current conflict."
Hair said the NWF and its affiliate,
the Florida Wildlife Federation,
will be evaluating Florida's water
problems over the next several
months to determine an aggressive
course of action.
