*lRo-do and makedo” could
Will ide the motto of ;Mrs. iRuth
B. Settle, a member of the Elm
Grove • Haw River Extension
Homemakerii club in Rockingham
county.
The Settles recently moved
into a new brick house, nearj
'Reidsville, which they planned |
and built in their spare time, o-b-'
serves Mrs. Zadie Jackson, ex-;
tension home economics agent, |
Rockingham county. |
But that is only half the
story. Mrs. S<dtle and her three
daughters decorated the seven'
room house by making draix*r-
ies and shades and by reuphol
stering and refinishing furniture |
the family already had on hand.!
After all this re-doing and re-|
making, the cost of building and!
furnishing this house was less j
than half what another family'
may have paid for a similar,
house, the agent pointed out.
HANGING GARDENS
A beautiful “hanging garden*’
is a special tieat for friends
and family who visit Lciyce Lit
tle of Richmond county.
iMiss Little, a retiixxl school
teacher, designed the hanging
garden by fastening containers of
ferns and flowering plants
from the limbs of a largo shade
tree.
The hanging garden, located
')utside the den window, adds
DEEDS
beauty to the 'nside of the home
as well as to the outside, notes
Martha Adams, extension home
economics agent. 1
Miss Liittle, who got the idea
for her ganlon from a special
interest metd.ng, says she doesn’t ■
mind the extra watering that is|
required to ktxq) the hanging
garden heautPful. i

IN - WATS STATE LIBRARY j
INFORMATION SERVICE '
' What do you need to know in
i a liurry? The North Carolina
Slate library’s Inward Wide
Area Telephone Service (IN-,
WATS) can provide the answers
quickly and accurately. j
This network links the more
than jot) public, special, commun
ity college, college and univer
sity and technical school librar-
i(»s in the state, providing North
Carolinians with almost any
typo of information they can
possinly desire. i
Inaugurated in 196S as the
first such telephonic information
se rvice in the world, the service
lias grown enormously, and has
been widely initiated. j
‘ Kven though North Carolina
has a wealth of library re
sources, before IN-WATS they
lind been inaccessil Je to many,,
and at times the information was,
delayed until it was useless. Any
I individual In the state can now
I en.joy fast, toll-free service 24
hours a day by making a reque.st
from his local library. If the
information is unavailable at the
local facility, the librarian will
take advantage uf the state-wdo
I'N-WATS system to obtain the
answer to the patron’s question
by relaying it to the IN-WATS
nelwoik at the Slate iLlbrary in
Raleigh.
An automatic answerng de
vice rccoiils mt's.sages during the
time the Stale Library is clo.sed,
and relays the information to the
staff on the next day of opera-
t on. Individuals and planners
throughout the stale now have
across to historical works and
puiilications from any part of the
state, and oven further af'eld, if
necessary.
The State Library is ai le to
fill more than SO iv’• <x*nt of the
requests it receives, according
to .drs. Virginia Gibson, inter-
li'Nrarv services network librar
ian, with answers gathered and
mail<‘<l to the patron’s home li-
|:rary, usually ihe same day the
request is rect’ived. |
For the first six months in
1970, IN-WAT.S received mor *
than 6,500 calls, an average of
more than 36 a day.
» And the program ha.s been
I enthusiastically received, “I’m
I sure there would be (|uite a few
I complaints if w etried to take it
j aiway now,” Mrs. Gibson men
tioned.
She explained that the three
full-time staff librarians, plus
other help have to kee-p well
ahead of current events. “We’d
Ijetter keep ahead if possible,”
she emphasized with a smile.
She explainer! that they can al-
wa s expect a flood of calls on
whatever is currently in the
n( vvs. Recent questions have con
cerned Watergate—and its B'b-
Ur al raeferences, as well as the
i pcoming bicentennial—informa
tion on authentic uniforms for
rlisplay.
Among the unusual (piestions
received recently are a request
for a picture or diagram of a
cow’s brain. A call to the state
v^eternarian and NC3U provided
three possible books to b<» sent
to the patron. Also requested re
cently was the eoing price for a
genuine Equadorian shrunken
hear. Investigation determiner!
that it is illegal to own, buy or
sell a shrunken head in the
United Slates.
Hobby questions ahe perennial
- there are always questions on
various needlecrafts, macrame
and requests for information on
astrology and witchcraift are
