the record hop which took place (
last Saturday lugm at the Eden-i
ton armory. It was the first!
of its kind in this area and ij
spent the week preceding the 1
dance wondering how I could]
get out of it My mind oonjur- j
ed all sorts of unhappy pictures'
. . , snowstorms, nobody out
there, equipment failure and!
who knows what else? Anyway.]
as things turned out we had a!
huge crowd. We drew a larger i
crowd than did Joe Franklin]
or any other attraction in a long]
time. We had guests from all!
over and everyone at the dance,
had a terrific time. So. with:
such a tremendous and emhusi-l
astic response, there’s nothing!
left foe us to do but to aeceedj
to the demands of the public]
and hold several similar-type i
hops this spring and summer.)
We'll have more music and priz-j
es and fun. so listen to
tor further details. Our thanks,
publicly, to the pecole who help
ed so well. In Hertford, one

cial. far moral support and for ;
failh .in this endeavor. Last i
thing on my mind concerning 1
this dance is to thank most sin- i
cerely everybody who came to <
the dance. Most of our attend- I
ance. of course, comprised peo-
j of anyone’s library.
THE WEST Riding, roping, -
saddling and working horses and
cattle is quite a chore for a
cowpoke with two good hands, j
but when you have an amputat
ed left hand, substituted by a 1
clever hook arrangement, and a
crippled right hand, doing those
things, and doing them well, is 1
quite an achievement. But that ]
is what Bob Hankla, on his
Colorado horse ranch, does every
day; and takes no back seat, or
saddle, from any cowmr.n or
horseman with two good hands.
[pie of high school age and I’ve]
I never seen a better bunch of
guys or gals. They had a ter-1
i rific time at the same time and!
they did it without giving any
one a hard time. Meaning they!
were the best behaved group
I’ve ever come across. They
should be warmly commended i
for that. Not one person gave
anyone a hard time or an ounce
of trouble. Such is not the case,
in most places, especially our,
bigger cities. Boy, you toss
something like this record hop
in New York and it’d be mur
der. Incidentally, we were dis
cussing that after the dance
with some senior citizens of ourj
town, and it was agreed that;
some adults could take lessons
from some of these guys and
gals in behavior. I’ve seen par
ties of so-called adults that of-:
sered a whale of a lot of trou
ble. Anyway, all in all, it was
a terrific Saturday night at the
armory.
Our closing thought was in
spired by reading of the many,
many disc-jockeys that are in
New York City looking for a
job. Some of them are being
forced to work at minimum
wages in jobs not connected i
with radio or television. These
are the jockeys that were fired]
as a result of the payola mess, j
That brought to mind this
thought: The person that amass-!
es wealth without consideration'
for the things of God, is a fool.

REPORTS.
■jßcalg From
Washington There is now
pending before Congress legis-j
lation affecting public libraries
which is of vital importance to
North Carolina.
The legislation, which I co
sponsored, would extend for five 1
years' the Library Services Act,!
which has proven to be of great,
value in bringing public librar-j
ies to innumerable rural areas
for the first time and improv-'
ing library services in many)
other areas.
Under the present law thei
Congress appropriates up to 57.5!
million each year for public ii-!
braries and these funds are al-j
located to the states and terri-|
tories which match them. j
North Carolina has benefited!
ereatlv from this program. In 1
1957-58, North Carolina received!
$137,436 and in 1958-59 the!
State received $204,159 in Fed
eral funds under this program.)
These figures alone do not seemj
overly impressive, but the in-j
terest in libraries Federal funds
have created at the local level
and the resulting funds raised
have created at the local level j
and the resulting funds raised)
locally are most revealing. Sineel
1957, the State contribution to j
local libraries has remained con-|
stant, but there have been pro-!
nounced increases in funds made!
available by cities, towns and)
counties.
Even with the progress that
l YI

|py
j has been made in recent years.
• jmany facts concerning public ii
; braries in North Carolina are
i disturbing. We have 108 pub
! lie library systems, including 214
j branches and 105 bookmobiles,
'jin North Carolina which serve
,!96 per cent of the population.
.This is good, but at the same
j time, these libraries have a to
tal bookstock of about 3.5 mil
lion books considerably less
l than one book per person in
i terms of total State population.
; The per capita expenditure for
i| libraries has been steadily in-
Icreasing in North Carolina, but
j last year it was only 78 cents.
I This is particularly revealing
j when we remember that 78 cents
lis the price of only two or
! three paperback novels,
j Public libraries should cer
! tainly be considered an import
t ant part of our over-all public
j educational system. Books and
1 their accessibility to the general
j public are one of the keys to
an enlightened citizenry.
For the most part we have
more or • less taken public li
j braries tor granted. Where we
) have them, we accept them as
j routine. In a State such as
j North Carolina, I feel that we
j should make every effort not
■ only to improve the libraries we
, now have, but we should also
■strive to bring adequate library
: service to those areas which
have little or none,
