Thursday, March 10. 1977 I I 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.

Sanders \ W Director. Pettigrew 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.

The right to free speech as promised by the First Amendment to our Con stitution do we have it in America? Are there ever extenuating circumstances which raise the need for internal security as opposed to the freedom of speech? These will be some of the issues brought before the local jurors who sit in judgement on the reenact ment of the 1958 Greensboro Junius Scales trial “Limits of Dissent,” proudly sponsored by the Shepard-Pruden Memorial Library.

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.

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 North Carolina Humanities Committee and is free to the public. So in the end our local citizens and you the audience will decide “Can a man he convicted for Most Community Colleges, Technical Schools Serve Locality RALEIGH Ap proximately three-fourths of the students enrolled in technical institutes and community colleges live in the counties in which the institutions they attend are located. The 57 institutions in the community college system are designed primarily to serve the men and women who live in the counties in which the schools are located. The remaining 25 per cent of the students either commute from a nearby county or secure temporary living accommodations locally. This information was obtained from a report, “Profile of Students in N.C. Community Colleges and Technical Institutes,” made by the Department of Community Colleges and the Department of Adult and Community College Education of North Carolina State University. Authors of the report are Ronald W. Shearon, project director and associate professor, Adult and Community College Education, NCSU; Robert G.

Daniel, research associate and dean of in struction, Isothermal Community College. The report reveals that for the most practical purposes, community colleges and technical institutes have their greatest attendance among credit students who live 20 miles or less from the campus and among non credit students who live 10 or fewer miles from where classes are offered. Once educational activities are removed farther than those distances from where people live or work, the attendance rate drops substantially.
