LIBRARY NEWS
During the past week Mrs. J.
D. Hobbs presented the Library
with a copy of the book,- “The
Answer Is God’’, in memory of
Mrs. S. D. Kirkpatrick. This is
the wonderful, heart-lifting story
of two famous and greatly loved
Americans—Dale Evans and Roy
Rogers, a story that will move and
inspire every reader.
The library als'o has a copy of
the “Green. Rond” (see Review)
“Green Pond” Lives Keyed
To High Pitch Of Living
The following review of Evan
Brapd tin's new book “Green
Pond” is by Margaret Garfield
Pichtner in The Birmingham
(Ala.) News of Sunday, October
9 •
[ GREEN POND by Evan Brandon,
(Vanguard, $4.75)
Consider the style of this book,
its span of time and emotions, its
wealth of characters and it is lit
tle wonder that it took the author
20 years to conceive and 12 years
to write Written in a colloquialism
as earthy as the slave quarter’s
lingo, everyone justifies his exist
ence >n his own language.
Unique are the conversations of
“the Lawd and Gabriel and Beel
zebub and Satan,” which are wit
ty and terrifying in their observa
tions of struggling man. It is a
deeply religious book; the over
all theme concerns the relation
ship of man to God, whether plan
tation owner or slave, white trash
or freed man But the religion
expressed is neither staid or di
vine, but earthy and comforting,
even a little blasphemous at
The author projects these re
ligious feelings strictly through
his characters, none of whom are
ordinary people. Their lives are
keyed to a high pitch of living'as
if they possess an extra sense of
divining and enjoying the pleas
ures of this world.
Built around the Thornwell
family, Ole Doc and Young Doc,
it covers two generations of blacks
and whited living at the spacious,
but degenerate plantation of
Catawba after the close of the
Civil War. Ole Doc is a thorough
scalawag who birthed every child
up and down the river. His son,
Vic, fighting for modern practices,
becomes caught in the tangled
web of Jezebel, who was all the
name implied.
By far the most profound char
acer was Mama Amazon, as old
and staunch as Catawba itself.
She was prophetic, superstitious,
religious and blasphemius, as big
as the whole outdoors.
Freedom hadn’t made life any
different for her. Body and soul
she belonged to CataWba and the
doctors. Sweeping magnificently
over a span of almost 100 years,
Brandon portrays the decadent
and rising hope of the South.

Rabies Control
Officer To Work
In Cherryville Area
During next week, the week of
October 31, MV. Joe ('. McLean,
Gaston County Rabies Control
Officer, will be working- in the
| Cherryville area. His activities
here will primarily consist of pick
ing up stray dogs and checking
dogs as to whether or not they
have been vaccinated against
rabies within the past year.
Cherryville residents are asked
to notify Mr. McLean if stray and
ownerless dogs have recently
come to their homes or if they
have seen stray dogs recently in
their neighborhood. Those who re
port stray doges may telephone
their message to the Cherryville
Police Department, and Mr. Mc
Lean will get the message.
Mr. MV-Ix-an has spent a part of
his time in Cherryville in the past.,
but. during next week he will
spend most, of his time in this
area. After next week. Mr. Mc
Lean will work in and around
! Cherryville more frequently. He
urges all citizens to cooperate with
this program.
A rabies vaccination clinic was
held at Cherryville High School on
Tuesday, October IS. 1055. Mr.
McLean reports poor attendance
at this clinic. At the vaccination
clinics held last spring in the
Cherryville area, only 75 dogs
were vaccinated. It is reasonable
to believe that there are many
dogs in Cherryville that have not
been vaccinated against rabies.
When the Rabies Control Of
ficer contacts a dog owner whose
dog has not been vaccinated, he
issues a notice to the dog owner
vaccinated by a licensed veteri
narian. State law requires that
all dogs four months of age and
over must be vaccinated against
rabies each year. This is health
protection for you, your family,
pets, and livestock—because once
rabies develops it is 100 per cent
fatal to both humans and animals.
Gaston County’s rabies control
program has been in effect eight
months. During that period of
time, over 9,000 dogs have been
vaccinated and over 1,400 stray
dogs have been picked up. No
cases of rabies have been report
ed in the county this year. This
goal could not have been accom
plished if the public had not co
operated with the Rabies Control
Officer. Cherryville residents are
urged to cooperate with Mi-. Mc
Your front wheels are set in at
the bottom to make the big in
side bearing take the road shocks.
This adjustment makes the wheels
turn out—so they are toed-in at
the front to flfset this tendency.

Your Contribution
To Girl Scout Drive
Your contribution to the Gjrl
Scout Drive helps foot the bills
for a project of tremendous im
portance to our community. The
dill Scout organization helps our
Cherryville girls develop into heal
thy, happy youngsters, and makes
active worthwhile citizens of
If that seems a huge responsi
bility for any organization to as
sume, remember that Girl Scout
ing was founded for just such a
purpose. When it started in 1912
there was a small group of twelve
members, but today in this coun
try two million little girls are
soberly keeping their promises to
love God and their country and
to help other people. And thait is
a most encouraging thought for
the future of our nation.
Two million—that’s a lot of
girls, but still not enough when
you consider the amount of in
fluence necessary to help shape
the world of tomorrow. For, be
yond a doubt, Girl Scouting is sig
nificant in shaping the future.
When a girl becomes a Scout she
learns how to get along with oth
ers, how to accept responsibility,
in fact, how to live the democra
cy that is so much needed in the
world today.
The little girl in the green uni
form and trefoil-markde beret has
become as familiar a sight all ov
er America as she is here in Cber
ryville. And from east to west,
north to south, Scouting contin
ues to exert a strong and force
Girl Scouts do things that give
them an opportunity to grow
physically. spiritually, emotional
ly, and socially. And in doing
those things they have fun and
adventure. They hike, cook out
doors, camp, explore, and learn
enout the wonders of nature.
They dance and sjng, play panics,
and tell stories. They make
friends with pirls in their own
coinnrunity. and write to earls in
other parts of the world. They
put on plays. They have fun
making things—a dress, a brace
let. or a puppet. They enjoy learn
ing to help others. It’s a well
tminded program of fun. service,
and citizenship training.
The Pioneer Girl Scout Area
Council is fortunate in having
two splendidly equipped girts’
camps. This past summer there
were 235 girls at Camp Rotary for
12 days each, and 58 in atten
dance at the Camp Kiwams Cay
Camp. With 73 others in Day
Camps in other parts of the Area,
and with 65 in Troop Camps, this
makes 431 girls who have enjoy
ed some type of camping exper
ience in a Girl Scout camp this
year.
Funds raised during the annual
drive not only finance the Scout
program now underway, but will
also go toward developing and
organizing new troops, providing
leadership training for adults,
and furnishing expanded program
opportunities. At present, in ad
dition to the 1956 registered
Girl Scouts in the Pioneer Area
Council, 2& additional troops are
being organized which will serve
