COUNTY LIBRARIAN V
TWENTY YEARS OF LIBRARY
SERVICE
Miss Marjorie Beal ended twen
ty 'ears of service as Director of
the -jstorth Carolina Library Com
mission on June 1st. I cannot let
the tponth pass without telling you
some of the ways the libraries in
North Carolina have grown during
this period. .
m, Twenty years ago- less than 38
per cent of the population had ac
cess to the few books that did ex
ist. There were only 31 publicly
supported libraries and 3 bookmo
biles in North Carolina.
In 1941 State Aid for Public Li
braries became a reality when the
General Assembly voted $100,000.,
I well remember how the late
Charles Whedbee of Hertford, a
member of the Library , Commis
sion, travelled all over the state
talking personally with every mem
ber of the legislature .Dr. Frank
P. Graham also deserves a lot of
credit for helping to secure this
aid, but it -was Miss Bear's vision
and' guidance -that made it a suc
cess. : -. y . .. r
The" Haywood County Public Li
brary is one. of the many products
In this state pf the, State Aid
Fund. This money is divided so as
to be a "stimulating " and equaliz
ing fund". Now the Haywood peo
ple, through the use of the library
and bookmobile service, are . get
ting a clearer view of what Miss
Beal's vision - was for - Haywood
County and Waynesvllle when she
first visited here In the 1 930'i
Even though Haywood County has
a Jong way to go in giving . ade
quate library service, it has made
very definite strides in the past and
it s recognized in the state as one
of i the up-and-coming county IU
braries. . . ; .
'Today library service is avail
able to 95 per cent of North Caro
lina's population and 92 counties
have county-wide service. There
are 84 bookmobiles carrying books
In areas from Hiawassee to Hat
teras, nine of which are operated
Independently by Negro Libraries
and 30 are shared for Negro serv-
In 1943 the Progressive Farmer
named Miss Beal u "Uu Woman
of the Year In Service to Rural
North Carolina." She has worked

agent. -;. . ., , .,
One had only to attend one
American Library Association
meeting to realize how-. Miss Beal
was recognized nationally. She was
a member of the Tennessee Valley
Council, president of Southeastern
Library Association, consultant to
the Public Library Training Insti
tute at the University of Alabama,
and one of 3 selected to make a li
brary survey Of Massachusetts. Re
cently, she worked with the Ad
visory Committee for Southeastern
States Cooperative Library Survey
serving as chairman for North Car
olina and editing "Libraries in
North Carolina" in 1948.
Miss Beal came to North Caro
lina after having established her
self -in the profession through
school, college and public library
experience in Wisconsin and New
York. She goes to Havre, Montana,
for a few -months' rest. After that
she will probably take part time
work. . ' '
I agree with Miss Nell Battle
Lewis in speaking of - many who
have contributed to the library
progress when she said, "But Miss
Beal has been the spark plug, and
she has been so effective because
she has been more interested in
doing something for North Can
Una than in advertising Miss Mar
jorie Beal."
Even helicopters contribute to
the makeup of New York City's
commuting system.

DYING PATIENTS REQUIRE
COMFORT, DOCTORS TOLD
TOLEDO,. O. (UP) The Ohio
Osteopathic Association of Physi
cians and Surgeons was told that
death can be comfortable and that
it is the doctor's duty to make
it so.
Dr. Robert P. Morhardt of Los
Angeles toldx the group that ex
piring patients should ; not be
smothered in blankets nor kept in
dark rooms and definitely should
not be fed if they do not wish to
eat. '
Fresh air and sunshine should
be the rule, the doctor said, and
every effort should be made to
make the person as comfortable
as possible.
Near the end, Morhardt said,
death becomes more attractive and
he claimed there did seem to ap
pear what he called an "ecstasy of
death".
