HOOTS
WORKING TOGETHER lt
is always a hopeful sign when
people and organizations get
together to work for mutual
goals and this week I attended
three very different meetings
where cooperative effort was
the underlying theme. The first
meeting was the regular
quarterly session of the Board
of Trustees of the Pettigrew
Regional Library' which was
held in Columbia last Monday
night. Three concerned citizens
from each of the three counties
served gy the regional library
(Chowan, Tyrrell, and
Washington) devote jnany
hours and much thought to the
affairs of the this public library
system. Without this kind of
community support, the library
would never have reached the
high level of public service
which it tries to maintain.
The second meeting was held
in Manteo at the Dare County
Public Library with Librarian
Lida Olmstead as the gracious
hostess. There were ten
librarians present the
directors of the four regional
libraries in this area plus six
members of their staffs and
we spent a very productive
morning exploring ways that we
could co-operate across not just
county lines but between library
regions. The four regions
represented were:
Albemarle Bertie, Gates,
Hertford and Northampton
Counties.
BH M Beaufort, Hyde and
Martin Counties
East Albemarle Currituck,
Dare. Camden and Pasquotank
Counties.
Pettigrew Chowan, Tyrrell
and Washington Counties.
Louise Boone, Director of
Albemarle Region, was the only
one who came from her region,
but she deserves extra credit
since she came twice, arriving a
day early the first time much to
her embarassment. Mary
Wilson of B-H-M was
accompanied by Peepie
Davenport of Beaufort County.
Pettigrew was represented by
Esther Davenport from Tyrrell
County and Louise Darby from
Chowan County in addition to
myself. And the host region
(East Albemarle) was well
represented by the chairman
for the day, Director Anne
Sanders, Grace Austin of
Currituck County, Elyse Irvin
of Pasquotank-Camden County
and our hostess.
The third and last meeting for
the week was a six-county

organization, the Southern
Albemarle Association. This
was the largest meeting by far
my guess would be ISO
delegates from tin member
counties. With the inspiring
motto “All for one and one for
all”, this association has been
working for 38 years for the
betterment of this area with
particular emphasis on bridges
and roads. The counties
involved in this cooperative
activity are Hyde, Tyrrell,
Washington, Dare, Beaufort
and Martin. The host this year
was Martin County and next
year it falls to Washington
County to do the honors.
SCREECHES
NEGLECTED AREA The
main speaker at the meeting
held in Williamston was
Attorney General Robert
Morgan. He contrasted the
roads in this part of the state
with the highways in the other
two-thirds and deplored the
absence of plans for
improvement in the current
Highway Program.
Particularly disappointing to
the organization is the
scrapping of the plan for a
bridge across the Pamlico, their
Number One Project. Tlje
Attorney General challenged
the group to continue to work
for their goals and suggested
that better medical service to
added to their list of concerns.
Folk Musical

All area youth in grades 7-12

taken from John 15 where Jesus I
said of Himself: “I am the true
vine; you are the branches.” I
