PHILLIPS SUNSET ACRES APEX-I remem'oer a year ago when I was asked to witness a citation the government of the United States was posthumous ly conferring upon Robert Brax ton Woodard, son of Mr. Pee Dee Woodard and Mrs. Eloise Woodard of Holly Springs. The officer, a chaplain, and his aids from Fort Bragg were correct ly mannered and sympathetic as they read the regretful, but pride-fil ed words on the in sc iptions. Robert Braxton had lost his life trying to save a comrade from drowning which to me, was fa more commendable than pointing a loaded rifle at a fellow human being and pulling the trigger. I remembe 1 a Sun day shortly afterward when Rev. W, M, Freeman, a miiiister of two AME Zion Churches, and a principal of the high school from which Robert. Braxton graduated, eulogized the dead with an exposition o# Psalm 22:1, “Mv God why hast thou forsaken me?” His theme was the one word, “Why?” Now, I have before me a sec ond citation, and two medals, a Military Merit Medal and a Medal For Valor with palm. This from “The President Os The Republic Os Vietnam,” to ‘Servicemen of courage and rare self-sacrifice; they dis played at all times the most tactful cooperation while aiding the Armed Forces of the Re public Os Vietnam to repei the Red Wave undermining South Vietnam and Southeast. Asia.’ “With a ready zeal and com mendable response, they fought on to the end in every mission and set a brilliant example so their fellow soldieis. ’(How did RoH. Braxton die. killing of saving'*) However, and for what ever, the parents wish to thank the government of South Viet nam Speakine of honoring the dead, how can we if we grossly neg lect the up-keep of the grave sites of the ‘beloved depart ed?’ Well, something was done about that! The “Tui ner-Jones-Book ei- ’ grave-site had a year’s under and ovei growth since it * was cleared and neatly “mani cured ‘ a Utile more than a year ago. Again, you couldn t see who was buried where. But today the following did something to face-iift this eye sore: Mr. and M.s. Cardell Adams, Mr. and Mrs. K. B. Booker, their sons, Elijah, Ralpii and Brent on Booker; Hoover Adams, James and Lin wood Adams: Rufus, GRirreNDEN’s GROCERY APEX. N.

These members of the concerned families, who have loved ones there not only set the site in order, but beautified he country side. I left them at 9:50 a.m. and straightway went to Apex where I saw another group doing the same thing to a play-area that had grown up in weeds and tall grass: Ollie McClain, Wake Op portunities Youth Worker, had some young boys cleaning up a play-ground next to St. Mary AME Church. He was assisted by Mrs, Doris Howard, another Wake volunteer and FT A anded u cat ion volunteer. The boys were doing it with handled weed cutters. The needed gas mow ers.
