                       HONORING CARLIE C. MCLAMB

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 6, 1998

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great North 
Carolinian, Mr. Carlie C. McLamb. Mr. McLamb recently received the 
Distinguished Service Award of the Occoneechee Council of the Boy 
Scouts of America. He has been a leader in scouting all his adult life. 
Carlie C. is a popular businessman and community leader in Dunn, NC. He 
is the top IGA grocery retailer in North Carolina and one of the 
largest independent dealers in the Nation. He has touched many lives in 
this small community where he is considered a role model as a hard 
worker.
  Carlie C. McLamb is a founding director of the Standard Bank in Dunn 
and will soon join the board of the Betsy Johnson Memorial Hospital. He 
is also largely responsible for the success of the annual Community 
Pride event, attended by thousands of area folks.
  His reputation for hard work inspired loyalty among his employees. 
When Carlie C.'s store was destroyed by fire and rebuilt 5 months 
later, every single employee returned to work. Carlie C. is always 
willing to help people in need, even if he does not know them 
personally. Youth in the community respect him as a role model and many 
experience their first jobs in Carlie C.'s store before striking out in 
search of their own career.
  I am honored to call Carlie C. a friend. I congratulate him on his 
much deserved Distinguished Service Award.
