ghureday, September 27, 1878 ■:v \’ j HOOTS MEETING IN NEW BERN - At irregular intervals for the past couple of years the directors of the fifteen Regional Libraries in the state of North Carolina have been getting together for a couple of days to compare notes and study mutual problems. The meetings usually entail a lot of traveling for some of us because of the wide geographical area involved. This time, I didn’t have jiit'go very far since our hostess was Elinor Hawkins of the Craven-Pamlico-Carteret Regional Library with headquarters in a lovely Colonial-style building in New Bern. Distance did not seem to deter the librarians from the western part of the state since attendance was very good with twelve 'of the fifteen regions Represented. There were three relatively formal sessions held in the auditorium of the Library on Wednesday and Thursday, September 12th and 13th. But some of the most valuable exchanges of information took place, as usual, during the free time spent on the beach by some (Ididn’t make that), around the swimming pool (I enjoyed that), during meals we (we all enjoyed that aspect of the conference) and on the golf course (the highlight for me!)

Her husband, Earl Sexton, died suddenly on . Monday, September 10th. He will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him in his professional life as a electrician or in his other occupation as a gardener. His fame was widespread as the grower of some of the loveliest roses in North Carolina. Our hearts go out to Frances and I know she has been touched by the many kindnesses of friends and neighbors. Less unexpected but just as saddening was the death of Martha Burnham in Plymouth. She was a frequent golf partner of mine and very popular with all the golfers of the Roanoke Ladies Golf Association. This six-dub organization plays a series of tournaments each fall and spring with the first one to be hdd ih Plymouth this week. The news of Martha’s death will lend a sad note to this first gathering of her golf friends since she attended the final tournament last May in Williamston. HOOTS MAKING FRIENDS The field trip to Raleigh which the Staff of the Pettigrew Regional Library made last week was notable for many things but making new friends ranks at the top of my list. There were large groups from three regional library systems plus librarians from several other counties making up the chartered bus load which embarked at 6 A.M. in Elizabeth City for the day long excursion. All staff members in the Pettigrew Regional Library system were urged to participate in this tour of the State Library and other State buildings. Taking advanage of this opportunity were the following: Louise Darby from Edenton; Esther Davenport, Pearl Furlough and Frances Sexton from Columbia; Sheila Furlough, Elva Riddick, Kim Varin and myself from Plymouth. In addition, we had a guest (Frances Sexton’s sister Blanche Moore) and two trustees, Hortense Swain from Tyrrell County and Frankie Educator Is Immanuel Baptist Guest Speaker The Immanuel Baptist Church has invited Dr. Walter G.
