The World Of Books
In The Warren County Memorial Library
STORYTIME ended in the library August 11. For
the few children who attended there were many happy
hours. We hope next year won't have as many
conflicts. Our thanks to the Warrenton Junior
Woman's Club, Mrs. John Coleman, Mrs. George
McGhee, Mrs. George Dailey, Mrs. Steve Norwood
and Miss Karen Coker. These ladies gave of their time
and talents to read and tell stories, one session having
only one little boy who felt very honored. Our thanks
also to Mr. Haithcock and the Forestry Service for
Smokey Bear and Woodsie Owl little bags, comic
books and book markers. The library presented
children who attended two or more sessions with a
small book, pencil, paper cup illustrating the metric
system and a certificate of attendance. All of the
children received several different kinds of book
markers during the sessions.
MESSAGE TO PARENTS: Reading good books to
young children is a crucial factor in a child's
psychological and intellectual development. It
promotes a mutually . warm and satisfying
relationship between parent and child and enhances
the child's awareness of the world around him. It
stimulates the child's imagination and lays a
foundation for the development of the skills necessary
to support the critical thinking process.
In addition, the parent who reads tp his child helps
him to build vocabulary and other prerequisite skills
for the child's own successful reading. BOOKS can be
factual, fanciful, humorous, questioning and
adventurous. YOUR LIBRARY IS WAITING FOR
YOU TO COME IN AND TAKE BOOKS HOME FOR
YOU AND YOUR CHILD TO READ AND ENJOY!
NEW BOOKS: The Stone Bull, Whitney; Judas
Flowering, Hodges; several for the Young People's
Room.
MEMORIALS: Special Peoples, Eisenhower, for
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Serls from Mr. and Mrs. Scott
Gardner; The Nineties (referring to 1890's),
American Heritage, for Walter Gardner from Mrs.
Charles P. Allen and Charles Allen, Jr.
OVERDUE BOOKS; Please return all over due
books so that others may enjoy them.

Local Youths
Wind Up Tour
On July 23 Sears, Smitty
and Fern Bugg and Jan
Gardner left on an excursion
to California. The first
highlight of the trip was a
stay in New Orleans in a
hotel located in the French
Quarter section of the city
as the guests of a cousin,
Dr. Blackwell Evans,
formerly of South Hill, Va.
After touring New Orleans
by trolley car and
seeing such sights as the
Super Dome and Audobon
Park, they headed for San
Antonio, Texas where they
visited the Alamo.
After entering New
Mexico, Carlsbad Caverns
was the next stop. The tour
of the caverns consisted of
a three-mile hike where
many enormous rooms
and amazing limestone
formations were viewed.
The group then journeyed
into Mexico by going
from El Paso, Texas, over
to Juarez. The most
fascinating were the many
shops and wares along
with the high-pressure
salesmen. After Mexico,
they headed into Arizona.
In Arizona they visited
the Petrified Forest,
Painted Desert, Walnut
Canyon (consisting of
Indian cliff ruins built
about 900 years ago),
Waputka Indian Dwellings,
Sunset Crater (volcanic
area that erupted
•about 1000 years ago) and
the Grand Canyon.
After viewing these
beautiful points, they
headed for the excitement
of Las Vegas. Before
arriving in Las Vegas they
took a short detour inside
Hoover Dam.
On July 30 about 5:30 p.
m. they arrived in Las
Vegas and were greeted by
a sign recording the
temperature at 124 degrees.
That night they
visited several casinos
such as the Stardust Hotel
and saw a comedy show.
After seeing the entertainment
and lights of Las
Vegas for one night, the
group crossed the Mojave
Desert and arrived in Long
Beach, Calif., to visit Mrs.
Betty Smith, a cousin of
the Buggs. After visiting
their cousin and swimming
in the cold Pacific Ocean
(70 degrees) the group
headed toward Santa Barbara
and participated in a
Mexican Fiesta by seeing
a three-hour parade and a
professional rodeo.
San Francisco was the
next stop and they spent
the first day there seeing
the Fisherman's Wharf,
Chinatown and the nearby
John Miur Forest. The
next day they toured
Alcatraz Island and on
August 7 headed back east.
They visited Yosemite
National Park in California
and were impressed by
the waterfalls, rugged
mountains, giant Sequoias
and wildlife.
Their last stop was the
large and modern zoo at
St. Louis, Mo.
On August 13, the group
arrived home tired, but
with memories of a tour
they will never forget.
The ancient Greeks believed
poplar trees weep tears of
resin because they were
originally three girls weeping
for their dead brother.

Accustomed to gas costing
two dollars a gallon
and coffee selling for eight
dollars a pound, a young
French girl visiting Warrenton
last week must
think Americans get a
bargain when they drive to
the supermarket.
Francoise Guinel, 18, a
house guest of Mr. and
Mrs George W. Shearin
and family on the Warren
Plains Road, found both
comparisons and contrasts
with her native country
during her stay here.
"As in America, one of
the issues much discussed
in France is capital
punishment," the young
visitor observed in flawless
English.
The contrasts of the two
countries were also evident
to Miss Guinel, a Lion
exchange student who
spent several days with the
Warrenton family
"I did not know how
afraid children were of
their parents," she said
In France children do not
have the same fear."
Another misconception
she had before coming
here was that "American
children had much more
freedom than they actually
do. " And, she said, she did
not realize that "Americans
were so religious."
Miss Guinel came to
Warrenton to visit both the
Shearins, who have a
daughter in France under
the exchange program,
and to see a visiting
French girl, Marie-o Four
manoir, she met at Paris's
Orli Airport several weeks
ago.
The two French girls
found themselves sometimes
slipping into conversation
in their native
tongue, but attempted to
speak English for the most
part. On occasion, Miss
Guinel acted as translator
for Miss Fourmanoir. It
seemed a natural thing to
do, since Miss Guinel
hopes to become an
interpreter when she graduates
from college.
Both girls have gotten a
taste of working in
tobacco, helping the Shearin
family in the harvest.
Miss Guinel, who lives in
Naates (population 500,000),
said the weather is
too hot on the Brittany
Peninsula to grow tobacco;
instead, farmers con
Miss Guinel
centrate on grape production.
Even though she comes
from an urban area, Miss
Guinel said she had come
to love the lifestyle in
Warren County, and said
she preferred small towns
"to cities like Raleigh"
where she will spend the
remainder of her time
before the two French
companions return home
on August 26.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our
dear mama, Mrs. Lula
Lynch, on her birthday Aug.
16, 1977. We do not
need this special day to
bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of
you are very hard to find.
They say time heals all
sorrows and maybe for
some this is true, but there
are not enough days in our
lifetime to let us forget
about you. Happy Birthday
Mama.
