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.

Cultural Resources, Philip
Ogilvie, State Librarian and
Eiain von Oesen, Assistant
State Librarian. 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 private eye is quick to detect a good
thing. Mike Connors, CBS-TV’s

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

school systems and community
colleges for their possible use in
curriculum.
