NO FKNALTV—As BID Shakespeare gases forlornly over his forearm, Tom Ban
man happily returns “overdue” Hbrary materials to Cynthia Creekmore behind the
desk. Shakespeare is unhappy because he knows he’ll soon be returned to the
racks; Bauman is elated because he knows he can return the books, records and
films with no questions asked and no overdue fines levied. Donald Lee, chairman
of Library Services at College of The Albemarle, has declared the week of Febru
ary 23 through March las Amnesty Week at the college’s two libraries. Students,
faculty and staff are encouraged to return past due materials during the week
with no penalty.—(COA Photo).
Attendance At State Parks Increases
Attendance at North’
Carolina state parks jumped
nearly 17 per cent in 1975,
according to Ron Johnson,
director of the N.C. Division
of Parks and Recreation.
In 1975, approximately
2.9-million persons visited 20
state parks compared to 2.5-
million at 18 parks in 1974.
Total visitors at the two new
parks where attendance was
kept accounted for 12,000 of
the increase.

recreation opportunities
available within the state
park system,” Johnson said.
“Good weather, better
facilities and more people
staying closer to home for
recreation were major
factors in the increase.”
Attendance was up at all
state parks, except one-
Boone’s Cave south of
Winston-Salem. The highest
rate on increase was at Pilot
Mountain in Surry County,
which had 27,512 persons in
1974 and 146,000 in 1975. The
park had closed except of
limited use in 1974.
Another large increase
was at Hammock’s Beach in
Onslow County. An
expansion of ferry service to
the island helped increase
the attendance nearly 60 per
cent.
Ft. Macon State Park
and Recreation Area near
Atlantic Beach was the most
popular park with nearly
780,000 visitors.
Picnicking continued as
the most popular activity at
the parks. Over 640,000
persons used those types of
facilities last year. There
were large increases in the
number of hikers, fishermen
and campers.
Because of a major flood,
Kerr Reservoir Recreation
Area near Henderson
experienced a drop in
attendance in 1975 to 1.3
million from 1.4 million in
i 974. The 2.9 million state
park total does not include

he knows of a stock that will go
up 10 points in 10 days, let him
lose his own money.

can buy at the bottom and sell at
the top. This is extremely rare.

Many a village began at the crossroads. Most towns grew up around
£ the intersection of two important thoroughfares. And the vast cities
which now fight the penetration of traffic with beltways, thruways, and
by-passes were themselves spawned by the very highways they would
now escape.
Our civilization is largely the product of men’s encounter with men
at the crossroads of geography, sociology, history and science.
Never lose sight of the vital Crossroads . . . Religion.
That is the encounter of men with God! It has constantly offered
positive, constructive approaches to the problems that surround the
{ other intersections in time and experience.
A When you hear the church bells next Sunday, remember. It is good
to live at the Crossroads where Christ touches all human relationships
with His power and love.

SUNDAY SCHOOI LESSON
DEMANDS OF FORGIVENESS
International Sunday School Lesson for February 29, 1976
Scripture: Matthew 13:21-35
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
Always, when I read this passage of scripture, I remem
ber my childhood days. Our mother taught her children a
great lesson on forgiveness. She would always say, “Never
let the sun go down upon your wrath.” That word, “wrath”
sounded so evil, and always I knew when 1 had hurt some
one in the family, or wronged them. I remember watching the
sun, and would not let it go down behind the hill before
running off to ask forgiveness, or right any wrong I had
done.
All of us expect and want forgiveness, but it is some
times hard to give. Our lives are so woven into an intricate
web of relationships with others that we need constantly to
seek God’s help.
When Peter asked Jesus about forgiveness, Peter must
have been stunned by His answer. The Pharisees and laws
had affected Peter’s idea of forgiveness. Under the old law,
a person was required to forgive 3 times. Peter thought he
was being generous by increasing it to 7 times. Butin Jesus’
reply, He gave such a large number, that hisdisciples could
only construe that the number should be limitless. It was
ridiculous, as well as selfish to think one could reduce a
spiritual principle to a numerical formula We ate to forgive
as often as we se offended.
When we stop to think of it, how many times does Christ
forgive us during the day? “If we confess our sins, He is
faithful and just, and will forgive our sins, red cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). We must forgive
as Christ forgives us. The spirit of unforgiveness spoils
our own Christian joy and takes away our testimony for
Christ. If we fry, always to be gentle and forgiving, we.will
find a joy and peace that comes no other way.
Once I was involved in an accident. I was on amain street,
and struck the rear end of a c* that whizzed across a side
afreet. There were no atop signs on any corner there. The
man was going through a residential area, taking a short
cut home from work, going too fast We were both counseled
in the police car, and the policeman charged me with the
accident, and 1 was to appear in court and pay a fine. We
had a Christian neighbor, who was a lawyer. He found out
about the situation and went in person to set the record
straight. My court order was canceled and there was no \
fine. He quietly brought justice from an unfair sifrution.
But the wonderful part was that all was forgiven. 1 held no
grudges, and soon there was a stop sign where it should
have been before.
Closing prayer Dear Lord, thank you for blotting out our
transgressions. May we know the joy of thefoegiving spirit,
and the peace which follows. Amen.
