Page 2-A HOOts STRANGE LANG UAGES—Every pro fession and every sport has a language of its own which is probably in comprehensible to other people. That thought oc curred to me as I prepared to write my account of the meeting 1 attended last at the State Library * in Raleigh. One of my honorary duties is to represent the small regional libraries on the Advisory Committee for the Processing Center (a very important function of the State library which handles most of the technical ser vices for a large percentage pf the libraries in the state) and it dawned on me that a layman would find our deliberations rather baf fling. For instance, we talked about networking, first-time hitg, CEP, OCLC, new sets from LC, SOLINET, and various other phrases which are peculiar to libraries. Computer technology has been adapted to use in the cataloging of new books and much of the terminology refers to this new science. For instance, “networking” means using a system which ties computer terminals in different parts of the country to a central data bank. “First time hits” is the term used to describe the request for cataloging information for a new book for the first time (sub sequent requests cost less than the initial enquiry). “CIP” is the practice of including a facsimile of a catalog card on the reverse side (the verso) of the title page of a new book and stands for “Cataloging in Publication”. OCLC is an acronym for the computer center in Ohio which is the data bank for Library of Congress (LC) catalog cards, and SOLINET is the network for libraries in the Southeastern states. The subject for our ad visory committee meeting was basically a simple one: Worn Out Jeans Can Be Turned into Many Items When your favorite pair of jeans can’t be worn another day, grab your scissors and create. Harriet Tutterow, ex tension clothing specialist, North Carolina State University, says denim’s long-lasting strength makes it one of the most reusable fabrics. There are patterns for totes, handbags, belts and hats to be made from your jeans. Or try your hand at making stuffed animals or a duffle bag. You can cut off the legs of the jeans and use the top part in a backpack. •‘ ,4V vt * < f ; «. at last, an answer to black smudge from gold jewelry... GOLD GUARD answers the age-old problem of skin discolor ation due to wearing jewelry. This revolutionary new product, based on years of chemical research and testing, has resulted in a safe and gentle skin cream, especially formulated for those who love to wear jewelry but because of skin conditions are unable to do so. GOLD GUARD is the simplest, surest, most effective way to combat black smudge. Apply Gold Guard each day to fingers, wrist or neck area, wherever jewelry comes in contact with the skin. One application usually lasts all day. Retail $5.00 jar G. T. Davis & Co. EDCNTON. M. C By Nellie M. Sanders Director all of this new technology is expensive but essential if we are to stay current with the information explosion. The problem is to find the necessary funds. My weekend golf game produced some interesting words and phrases too. We played a mixed Scotch foursome, Pinehurst style, with a shotgun start and enjoyed a Rock Muddle afterwards. Translated, that means that the game was for ladies and men (mixed), we played only 2 balls among the four of us by taking alternate shots (Scotch), we used selective drives (Pinehurst style allows everyone to hit a tee shot on every hole) and each foursome started on a dif ferent hole all at the same time after the pro gave the signal with his shotgun. The Rock Muddle was a delicious fish stew made from rockfish, potatoes and onions with lots of red pepper. SCREECHES CAR TROUBLE-My trusty steed failed me on my way back from Raleigh last week and I learned the hard way that you can’t afford to ignore it when you detect a slight slippage in an automatic transmission. By the time I limped into a garage, I had ruined the transmission -a costly error, to say the least. Fortunately, it happened near enough home and during daylight hours so that I wasn’t completely stranded. I shudder to think of my plight if I had been on my way back from Nags Head instead to enroute to the AADA dinner meeting there. Needless to say, I didn’t get to Nags Head. I just hope I have no more troubles with the car this week since I’m scheduled for a meeting of the Bicentennial Committee in Chapel Hill, the Personnel Committee in Tarboro and a retirement dinner for a fellow regional library director in Roaring Gap. I’d hate to miss any of them. Take advantage oi the details on old jeans to add interest to your new project. Plan a design to include the zipper or pockets. But avoid putting bulky areas of the jeans together. And be careful of worn, weak spots. They’re more likely to tear or come apart. If the denim is really in bad shape, patch the good parts together. Then in sewing, use a heavy-duty needle and synthetic thread for strength. Whether you buy it new or rework it yourself, denim wears, works and looks great.
