Dear Mr. 3 P's:
Is it no: customary for li
braries to have telephones? I
have lived in Edenton only a
short time and haves gone to ne |
library and checked out books. I
When they were due I tried to;
pall to have them renewed, but i
was told that the library had no
telephone the Shepard-Pruden
Memorial Library, that is. The
operator gave me Brown-Carver
public Library, but that did me |
no good since it was the wrong ,
library. Well, I couldn’t get to j
the library so had to pay a fine. |
We live too far to walk and my j
husband has to use our car for .
his work, so I had no transpor-:
tation. We have been in the
Army and have lived many -
places all over the U. S., and I
have always used the public li
braries and this is the first town
we have lived in where the li
brary has no telephone. Or is
this commoon in North Carolina' 1
I’ve talked to some of my
neighbors about this and they
all wish the library had a phone,
too. A library belongs to the
public and we all think that it
should have a phone just like
o*her town and county buildings
have.
I would like your views on the
matter. Also I don’t see how a
library can operate efficiently
without a telephone. Some time
ago I worked in one and we
used the phone constantly for
reminding people of overdue
books; calling other agencies for
help with answering reference
questions: telling people when
request books were in and for
countless other purposes.
Confused and Irate Citizen.
~ Dear Confused:
There are two points thai
stand out in your letter, viz.
You answer your own question
by the statements of the need
for a telephone: secondly, un
doubtedly, you are upset, mad
and determined to do something
about it.
It is an anachronism that, in
this day and age, a library
should be operating on the basis
of 1890-1900. Two of the most i
important problems facing soci
ety today are the dissemination
of ideas and communication. The
world is moving so fast that it
is important that the people be
kept informed of what is hap
pening, the reasons for such
happenings and the probable re
sults. A library is the deposit
ory of written ideas, and a li
brary has no higher function
than to see that everything ;s
done to get these ideas into the
hands and, hopefully, in the
minds of the people. There is
only one way to dr this and that
is by stimulating the circulation
of books. The reading of books
is a form of communication, but
to give information to the in
quiring public as to what books
are available and other pertinen"
information about the library
the telephone is indispensible.
It is inconceivable that a library
having books on this modern
age is not modern itself in the
latest form of communication.
While this column is not fa
miliar with the particular ad
ministration of your library, nev
ertheless, it is a common prac
iice to have a board of trustees
of representative citizens to
which the library custodian is
responsible for the functioning
of the library. Further, usually
the town and count' ontribut'
tax money for the operation of
the library; then, if the library
is part of the state system of li
braries, it receives support from •
the .state as well as from the
federal government. All of this
money comes from the taxpayer,
local, county, state and federal
and it would seem that the budg
et committee of your board of!
trustees should include a small'
item for a telephone. It is I
suggested that you take this up
! with: the local board of trustees
and if this is not helpful, then
write to the state library au
thorities and I am sure that they
[ . will t see that a telepncne is in
stalled to further a mere efiiei
ent administration and use of the
| library.
| Dear Three P’s:
A short time ago my husband
and - rtoyself received an invita
tion to a party to be given by
an old i friend of ours and her
je husband While our friend does
serve delicious, food and re-
I
'to make the party interesting,
nevertheless it is bound to be
boring as we know the kind of
people our friend is inviting to
the party. Would it be proper!
for us to put in a token ap
pearance and then leave, as we
cannot decline the invitation j
very well. j

Dear Wondering: '

'studied the value of eggs and 1
I ways to use them in daily meals, j
| Eggs should be included in
.daily meals from babyhood to
| old age to insure adequate intake j
! cf hirh quality protein, vitamins'
minerals. Like milk they;
'supply many of the food sub- j
stances needed by the body ev- j
ery day. Because eggs have high;
quality protein you can some-j
times use them in place of lean
meat.
An egg every day that’s aj
good rule to follow, but be sure'
you get at least four eggs eachj
week. Serve eggs “as eggs” or
“hiddens” in the cooking—they
are good either way.
When storing eggs be sure
they are clean, keep them cover
ed and keep them cold.
The first ruie in cooking eggs
whether in water, frying pan or|
oven is to cook them with low
to moderate, even heat. Like
all protein foods, eggs cooked
at too high a heat get tough i
and leathery. Eggs may be pre-;
pared in a variety of ways fori
any of the three meals in the
day. Here are a few recipes:
Eggs In The Shell
Cover eggs completely with
cold water and bring gradually
to simmering (just below boil
ing). Do not let the water boil.
For Soft Cooked Eggs—s'mmer
3 to 5 minutes. Break hot into
cup for serving; season.
Another way to soft cook eggs
: : s to bring water to boiling, put
the eggs in carefully, and take
the pan off the stove at once.
Cover pan to hold steam, and k-i I
j the eggs cook in the hot water-
