4'TK- D.! T, r H: Fr-':. September 12. 180 9 .Li . Cy LLC D UNO AH s:.rr wr:;cr - Chapel Hill's women's services are incressirs in popularity and number, and those involved szy both zrs dus to the town's positive response and the efforts of many volunteers. Housing the bulk of these organizations is the Women's Center, located on North Columbia Street. The Women's Health Counseling Service, the Orange County Coalition for Battered Women and Rape Crisis all are services located in this 'The Women's Center was established l'i years ao. "Someone donated $30,000 anonymously and we were formed, said Gail Henderson, program coordinator. "We run a lot of different programs, including support groups for people with similar problems, forums and physical fitness classes." A main project for the fall planned by the center is a women's survey, which will be in the form of interviews with 300 Orane County women. . "This survey will be conducted to find out the specific needs that women in Orange County have and what types of alternatives we can offer them," Henderson said. "It will be a major undertaking, and we will need even more volunteers' help." The main problem for the center has been funding. "Women's organizations all over the country have had to go from year to year, hand-to-mouth. But we are presently planning more money-raising activities and will be pushing our membership drive for new individuals and corporations," she, said. Most of the work is done by part-' -time volunteers, but the staff does include two paid part-time workers, "The volunteers are amazing," Henderson said. "They'll come in at anytime and just sit down and type, or whatever we need." Henderson said she believed that county residents have responded weli to the Center. "We had a large turnout at our Volunteer Night, and we expect our Open House on Sept. 14 will also do well." : ; The Rape Crisis Center, one of the services in the Women's Center, has been established for eight years. It primarily provides information and service to women who have been raped. "We have volunteers who will accompany a raped woman to the hospital, to the police and to court," explained Janet Colm, director of Rape Crisis. "We give the victim someone to talk to, someone whom they can ask for information." Another organization in the center is the Women's Health Counseling Service. Women may call or come in for counseling about health problems, such as information concerning pregnancy, contraceptives and abortion. Also located in the Women's Center is the Coalition for Battered Women, which also has a service in Durham. It is a 24-hour crisis counseling service for abused women and children. Volunteer advocates give supportive counseling, information, emergency housing and legal counseling. By JOE ?0kilS Staff Wriler Mr. and Mrs. Ed Haley have only 300,000 post cards for sale at University Mall. They left the other 2.7 million cards at their store in Lynchburg, Va. . The Haleys, whose post card and antique print dealership is part of the antique exhibition and sale at the mall, said that theirs is the largest touring collection in the world. Mr. Haley, a retired sales agent, said the- cards represent seven years of accumulation. The couple started the business, he said, "because we found that it would more than pay expenses for anywhere we want to travel." Mrs. Haley recalls the inauspicious beginnings of the collection. "We started with just a few boxes of post cards in the trunk of a car," she said. But now it takes a truck to carry the collection, which spans topics from koala bears to trolley cars. The Haleys make sales circuits throughout the Southeast about twice a year and occasionally venture to the North and Midwest. "Post cards appeal to a wide variety of people and pocketbooks," Mrs Haley said. Prices on the cards range from 25 cents to SI 00. Many customers seem to be interested mainly in the . messages on the backs of the cards. Like the note from Texas that Grace wrote to her sister a few decades ago: " wish you were here to ride with us in Mary's new 8-cylinder 1916 Cadillac. " Or the message Grandma sent to Sara in 1920 from Missouri: "I have had four baths this week end it has done me a world of good..." But Haley estimated there are about 1,000 collectors in this area who are interested in far more than the faded scrawls on the backs of the cards. They look at the condition of the cards, .the subjects and who printed them. Because post cards first became legal to use in 1893, age is usually not the most important factor in value, Haley said. He added that until 1907 it was illegal to write messages on the cards. The obscurity of the town depicted on a card is also unimportant in determing its value. "I've seen towns that you can hardly find on the map that have 100 post cards printed of them," he said. He explained that itinerant cameramen in the early 20th century often came to small towns to sell their wares. "They would send the pictures off to Germany, get them back and sell them for a penny," Haley said. "Everybody would make a profit because a post card was something everyone could relate to." Almost everyone can relate to something . in the Haley's collection. There are post cards printed on paper, wood, leather and aluminum. Every state in the union and many of the world's nations are represented in the ccllecion. And the range of topics is extensive: politics, airports,- witches, spoons, George Washington, Nazis, beer, ships, alligators, baseball,.... "You name it; it's on post cards," Haley said. But if you can't relate to what's on the front, just examine what's scribbled on the back: Dear Mother, I cm having a terrible time keeping Clarence straight. He has found a lady friend already.... The collection will be on display through Saturday. id .
