see us streaming in from all directions by car, bicycle, or on foot. The
collection is small but active, and you may borrow as many books as you

borhood. In Morehead City there are two libraries we may use. The Webb

numbers on the backs of the books. The Librarian is Frances Stokes. Carteret
Tech library on the second floor of Carteret Tech is also open to us. Their
book collection is chosen to meet the needs of their students, so if you

SHORE-LINE-BY-LINE: ALLEN MITCHELL, volunteer contributor, has offered us
the following. Allen, his wife, and their cat, Fred, have recently moved
to PKS, ”We wandered to our new and chosen home early in June, Actually
it*s not our final resting place, as we are renting for the summer. My
wife led the procession and had the house set up and everything going upon
Fred*s and my arrival. Most important, the martinis were cool and in
place for the first day’s lunch. Fred didn't have any martinis; doesn't
like them, but then cats are more sensible than humans, So far, the
weather has been marvelous; the succession of clear days if quite unusual
for us. Around the Philadelphia area, two days in a row without rain or
drizzle and the sun shining in a confused manner through the smog was
something calling for a celebration. Now that we are incorporated, we
must strive to keep PKS in tune with, *0n a Clear Day - etc!”
New residents LOUISE and EDWARD BAKER are moving into their home on Carob
Court, Ed is an engineer formerly with American Bureau of Shipping, a

sailing, and golf,

arrival in PKS, are going through some very hard times. Andy has been
hospitalized for several weeks. Their friends and neighbors want Bess to
know how strongly their thoughts are with her and with Andy, and to let
hefe know, too, how well remembered is the warmth both of them have shared
so generously with so many of us.
