The youngsters wiil also see two films: “A-B-C-D” a color story of clay letters of the alphabet set to a musical score, and “The Little Train” which is an animat ed film about a little, old fashioned steam locomotive that prives it value as it races a .modern diesel engine across fields, lakes and meadows.

THE CHOWAN HERALD HOOTS CULTURE WEEK—This is the week which is set aside in North Carolina for the annual meetings of many state organizations which are concerned with literary, historical or ar tistic subjects. Since many people are involved in more than one such organization, grouping the activities within a single week in Raleigh proves economical for those in other parts of the state. In my own case, an extra occasion has been added to the usual functions of the Roanoke Island Historical Association (RIHA) and the North Carolina Art Society, the two groups to which I belong which hold annual meetings during Culture Week. The University of North Carolina is honoring their most illustrious librarian, Louis Round Wilson, on his 100th .birthday with a symposium, an exhibit and a dinner. All of this means that I will be spending three vacation days in the Triangle area this week. The RIHA is best known for its sponsorship of the longest-running outdoor drama, “The Lost Colony”. The report to the mem bership is to be given by Philip Quidley, best known to me as the former president of the Albemarle Area Development Association, who played the role of John White in this year’s production. The invitation, mentioned a successful year and exciting plans for the coming season. There’s nothing like en thusiasm to engender support. The Art Society has scheduled a full day of activities beginning with a meeting at the Hilton Inn. Luncheon for 175 of the members (including the Gray Owl) is being sefved at the Governor’s Mansion in honor of the Society’s fif tieth anniversary. A special guided tour of the North Carolina Museum of Art, two receptions before the annual dinner and later at the preview art exhibit plus the announcement of the North Carolina Artists Exhibition Winners make for a crowded agenda. The symposium at Chapel Hill features lectures by outstanding librarians from all over the United States and should provide much thought-provoking material. If nothing else, it will provide an opportunity to see many old friends. SfiategmpAif (tyGMan i / ALLAN B. ASBELL Route 1, Box 5T6 Edenton, N. C.

For $1.75 ■ ~r • By Nellie M. Sanders Director, Pettigrew Regional Library SCREECHES THANKSGIVING JINX- Every year, I face the Thanksgiving -season with dread because I know something will happen to me or some member of my family which will involve pain or discomfort or medical bills or all of these! It\ all started six years ago when I broke a tooth eating Thanksgiving Dinner and each year since then, there has been a similar difficulty. True to form, I suffered an allergic reaction of unknown origin which caused un controllable itching on my legs and arms. My son-in law, Jet Barker, spent two days in the hospital with kidney stones. But we are both on the mend/ I am happy to report. Despite our problems, Thanksgiving Day was an enjoyable one. Two thirds of my family (my daughter Vicki and my son Stephen plus their families) had dinner with me after a very pleasant round of golf. The turkey was only slightly overcooked and I rescued the rolls before they were too badly scorched. f—/AfCTY jPA//AGES| By Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Public Information Office Artificial Christmas Trees Your Home Town, USA—A home fire this evening resulted in a substantial loss of prop erty. Fortunately—no injuries occurred. However, this situa tion happens many times, and could have been prevented. Upon investigation, it was found that a gift-wrapped package was accidently ig nited. The flames from the present then set the tree aflame, turning it into a flam ing torch. It was noted that the artifi cial tree was not a UL Classi fied tree. This Classification Mark means that the tree has been tested, and has met spe cified requirements for fire re sistance. 1 The testing procedures make provisions for the presents un der the tree They are repre sented by one-pound of shredded newsprint, which is spread in a 24-inch diameter circle around the base of the tree. The newspaper isthen ignited, and allowed to burn until consumed. If the tree does begin to flame, it may not pro duce flames that extend be yond two feet above the tree top, may not spread laterally from the path of the igniting fire, and may not produce melted plastic parts which continue to flame after falling. In order to double check the results, the tree is subjected to the testing procedure two more times, and must not fail during the series. UL does not Classify metal (aluminum) trees. There is. a possibility that the tree will become "live’' if a frayed or ungrounded set of lights is used to decorate it. UL sug gests using only ornaments on an aluminum tree, and per 'haps a colored spotlight di rected towards the tree. HI ■ £ 1 m L ~ §1 1 j 1 1 [.ii I CHRISTMAS SEAL TEA—Mr*. Junes E.
