PILGRIMAGE FEATURE—Haughton Point, presently owned by Mr. and Mrs. T. B. H.
Wood, will be one of the sites featured during the Biennial Pilgrimage of Colonial Edenton
and Countryside, slated April 15-17. It is being sponsored by the Edenton Woman’s Club. At
present time, records of the farm where this 19th century house was built have been
clarified only as far back as 1871. However, in order to date the house, research into
ownerships earlier than 1871 is still in process. In 1974, the present owners moved the three
story side hall structure several miles to the Yeopim River. It has now been restored and
enlarged. The woodwork, probably best called “country federal”, is intact throughout the
older portion of the house.

jg y g Regional Library
HOOTS
MINI-STAFF MEET
INGS According to
current theories of
management, keeping the
lines of communication open
between employees and
employer is good business.
In the Pettigrew Regional
Library system, with
libraries in four county
seats (Shepard-Pruden
Memorial Library in
Edenton, for Chowan
County; Perquimans
County Library in Hertford;
Tyrrell County Public
Library in Columbia; and
Washington County Library
in Plymouth) it is a vital
part of my function as
executive officer to ensure,
that there is real com
munication between the
members of the system.
Many methods have been
used to accomplish this
purpose. My regular visits
to each of the libraries give
me an opportunity to talk
with the staff in their usual
work stations, to observe the
activities in each com
munity, to relay suggestions
gleaned in other places and
to receive ideas from the
local librarians. My office
door is almost never closed
and the telephone is useful
despite the inconvenience of
belonging to three different
telephone exchanges.
It has been the custom in
this library region, since its
inception in 1955, to hold
quarterly staff meetings to
bring all the employees
together for all-day
workshops. One of these is
coming up on March 16th.
In-service training is the
major goal of these
meetings and the
justification for closing the
libraries four days a year.
But another goal is to
strengthen the lines of
communication between
librarians in the different
county libraries, to foster
the necessary team spirit
which makes us a region
rather than a federation of
individual, independent
systems.
The latest effort to im
prove participation in the
Pettigrew Region was the
scheduling of regular “mini
staff” meetings on a
monthly basis. Getting the
Children’s Services Coor
dinator Mary Eileen Bieler
and the Bookmobile
Librarian Pearl Furlough to
sit down with me and the
four county librarians to go
over mutual concerns has
proved very beneficial.
Cooperation is quickly
assured when everyone has
a hand in the planning.
Thanks to the re-opening
of the bridge across the
Albemarle Sound, the most
nearly central meeting
place in the four counties is
the Soundview Restaurant.
Our mini-staff meeting, held
there last week, found
Perquimans Librarian
Wayne Henritze full of
enthusiastic plans for the
forthcoming Staff Meeting.
His request for assistance
from the other librarians
was greeted with stunned
expressions but he quickly
persuaded them to
cooperate fully.
SCREECHES
DIRECTORS MEETINGS
Finding a centrally
located spot for a meeting of
the fifteen Regional Library
Directors in the state is a
difficult chore. And, since
visiting the other regions is
beneficial to all of us, we
sometimes find ourselves
traveling from one end of
the state to the other. Last
spring we went to the
mountains and 'last fall
everyone came to the coast.
The Sandhills Regional
Lila-ary, with headquarters
in Rockingham (in Rich
mond County) is almost in
the center of the state, so
they play host oftener than
the rest of us. Since that
region includes the golfing
capitol of the world, I have
no objections to the location.
Our meeting this week is
being held in Pinehurst and
I just hope the weather will
smile on us.

veteran, and grandnephew
of A.M. Scales, former
Governor of North Carolina.
This' native North
Carolinian publicly declared
himself a communist when
he announced that he was
chairman of the North and
South Carolina Communist
Party in Chapel Hill in
October, 1947. He openly
organized and continued to
work for the party during
the early fifties; then
suddenly he disappeared
“underground” and was not
apprehended for nearly two
years. In 1954 two FBI
agents arrested him in
Memphis, Tennessee,
during the height of the
McCarthy era.
In 1955 Scales was tried
and convicted with violation
of the Smith Act, but while
waiting for appeal of that
conviction before the
Supreme Court, the Justice
Department decided that he
was entitled to a new trial
because his attorney had
been denied access to
certain FBI files.
Before his second trial
began, Sen. Joseph Mc-
Carthy had died and
Khruschev had revealed the
horrors of life in Russia
under Stalin. Dillusioned
and no longer a member of
the Communist Party,
Scales was brought to trial
in Greensboro in 1958.
The Smith Act, under
which he was tried, held that
it was illegal to be a
member of any organization
which advocated the for
ceful and violent overthrow
of the government. Sub
sequent Supreme Court
decisions had modified the

law to protect the rights of
belief. Under the new
rulings, the prosecution had
to prove that Scales was a
member of the Communist
Party, and he knew well its
aims and that his advocacy
of those aims tended to
incite others to action.
The trial lasted about
three weeks with govern
ment witnesses on the stand
all but the last two days. The
prosecution spent about two
weeks just in establishing
the nature of communism
through extensive testimony
by former communists and
paid informers. Only four
government witnesses
testified that they had
known Scales.
From the tapes and
transcripts of these
testimonies, Dr. Lewis
Lipsitz, professor of
political science at the
University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill, has
prepared the trial script and
will serve as humanist
during the reenactment. Dr.
Lipsitz is a graduate of the
University of Chicago, and
has a Ph.D. in political
science from Yale
University. He published his
first volume of poetry,
“Cold Water,” in 1967 by
Wesleyan University Press,
and has a second volume
coming out this spring. In
addition, he is the author
and editor of various
political texts and articles.
The “Limits of Dissent” is
produced by the Carolina
Theater Company, a
professional touring group
under the direction of
William Dreyer. The
presentation is made
possible by a grant from the

their greatest attendance

live 20 miles or less from the
