Page 2-A THE CHOWAN HERALD " December 13, 1973 MP' By. MBS. NKIAIE M. SANDERS «/ ' • BBH BhMtar Petti* rew teffi<m*l Library HOOTS LIBRARY FRIENDS - Two things happened to me this week to strengthen my [confidence in the good things that library friends accomplish. The first took place in Tarboro where the Frieds of the Edgecombe County Memorial Library held, a sell out concert and hosted a very successful reception in the Library. A Plymouth native, Son of my golfing companion, Lloyd Owens joined with another pianist, Terry Coley, to perform an impressive two j)iano program interspersed With choral selections by an ensemble which included his wife and eight other accomplished singers. The proud mother, Fran Owens, and aunt, Eloise Ownes, basked in the glow of praise and my pride was no less than theirs. Bringing good music to a community is one of the nicest things a library and its friends can do. The other nice thing came through the mail from a book publisher. Viking Press wishes to make a contribution to the funding of public libraries and has made a unique offer. For every Christmas gift to a public library of $5 or more, they will give the donor a Christmas gift of a book from their library. Their ad appears in the New .York Times Book Review for •December 2nd and, of course, 4hey are most concerned about Ahe New York Public Library which has had serious financial •difficulties, but the offer should prompt help to all public libraries including ours. SCREECHES iTIME JOURNEY - I feel as if I have taken a time machine trip into the past wijh recent visits Jo historic areas. First it was Burnsville where the hotel was built in 1833 and then it was [Hillsborough where the Colonial jnn dates from 1759. Inclement weather prevented our taking The planned walking tour of Jiistoric Hillsborough which was pn our agenda but we managed :lo spend some time in the ■Museum set up in the old [Courtroom. The occasion for the visit to Hillsborough was a meeting of Regional Librarians. It [provided a rare opportunity for •iis to have both formal and •informal discussions with '(•race Rohrer, Secretary of Taylor Theater Edenton, N. C. • SPECIAL LATE SHOWS Fri. and Sat.—ll:ls P. M.

The need for additional state support to libraries was stressed and the budget request to be made to the Legislature was explained. Bill O’Shea, in his capacity as Governmental Relations Chairman for the Public Libraries Section of The North Carolina Library Association, urged all of us to work closely with our representatives and senators to help them understand library needs. HOOTS SMALL WORLD The informal discussions took place in the home of a Library Trustee in Hillsborough, Sandy Davison, who also invited local friends of the library to meet us. All of the people I met were charming conversationalists but there were two with whom I spent most of the evening. Lady Whitby fascinated me because I had never before talked to anyone who lives in a Palace. As the widow of a famous hematologist who was knighted for his contributions to society, she lives “at the discretion of the Queen” in a Hampton Court Palace apartment in Middlesex, England. The other new acquaintance with whom I talked at length was Miss Rebecca Wall, a direct descendantof the Collins family, builders of Somerset Place. She lives in Hillsborough and told me how much she appreciated her invitation to the Candelight Reception but age prevents her doing much traveling these days. _ '•'/'/a A private eye is quick to detect a good thing. Mike Connors, CBS-TV’s “Mannix,” takes stock of the gift prob lem and chooses U.S. Savings Bonds. ARPDC Aed George Chevrolet Sponsor Mobile Training Unit The Chevrolet Mobile Training Unit met at George Chevrolet last Thursday night for a demonstration. The program was sponsored by the Albemarle Regional Planning and Development Commission in conjunction with George Chevrolet. Carter Berry, operator of the training van, presented an ' audio-visual program on "Tips on Engine Oil”. Discussion followed into the feasibility of the mobile training unit; and the use of available audio-visual equipment and resource aids. General Motors will be sending a list of available resource material to area school systems and community colleges for their possible use in curriculum.
