Slates Drive The Kidney Foundation of North Carolina will be conducting its first annual Door-to-Door Drive in Edenton this weekend. Mrs. Sheila Leary, Edenton chairman, announced that volunteers will be calling on homes here March 25-27. More than 8-million Americans suffer from diseases of the kidney an nually, according to the National Kidney Foun dation. Some 60,000 persons die of diseases of the kidney each year. In North Carolina there are 600 people whose lives are being sustained by an artificial kidney machine called a dialysis machine. An alternative for these people is transplantation, if enough organs are made available by the Organ Donor Program. Diseases of the kidney are a serious and frequent cause of illness, loss of work and disability in North Carolina. The people of Edenton who participate by contributing to the Kidney Foundation .Campaign will be helping the Foundation in its ultimate goal of finding a cure for diseases of the kidney. Programs sup ported by funds: collected include public and professional education, the Organ Donor Program, research and patient ser vices.

THE CHOWAN HERALD SE' ■ HOOTS AN OFFICIAL OB SERVER One of the most efficient but unassuming people I have ever met is a tail, attractive lady with the somewhat unusual name of Lloyd. Her exact title is Federal Program Assistant for the North Carolina State Library but, in actuality, she is an expediter of the very best sort: she gets things done. Uoyd Childers came to visit the Pettigrew Regional Library last week, partly to observe firsthand the progress we are making on our Community Assessment, partly to help with the work-session at our Staff Meeting, and mainly because I invited her. At one time or another, almost every member of the State Library staff has visited us since I feel it is important for them to see what we are doing and very beneficial for our staff to meet and work with them in person. Since the Staff Meeting in Edenton was planned as a cooperative effort to dig out some hard facts, Uoyd had a golden opportunity to observe - along with me - the attitudes, the competency, the capabilities and the dedication of all the staff members. Despite a fine introduction by Perquimans County Librarian Wayne Henritze which included the reasons for the counting exercises he had planned (involving the registered borrowers, the books currently in cir culation and the books on the library shelves) and a patient explanation of the methodology he had worked out in a trial run in Hertford, the day’s work was not as smooth as we had hoped. There was some reluctance to tackle the chore - due to a failure to fully appreciate the necessity for it - and following the instructions proved to be a problem for some of the staff members. Even so, the mission was more than half accomplished and the results should be complete within a week. Heeding the All-work and-no- play-makes- Jack-a dull -boy theory, I included some recreation in the plans for Lloyd’s visit. She joined me on the golf course for a very pleasant afternoon’s “walking-around con ference” and we attended a luncheon meeting of the DAR in Edenton, along with Chowan County Librarian Louise Darby, to hear author Roy Thompson speak. All things con sidered, I think Lloyd took a good report back to the State Library.

By NdUe M Saadcn Director, Pettigrew Regtoaal library little inconvenience and a lot of extra expense in the libraries as well as in terfering with my normal quota of golf games, it has rained every week-end for the last three weeks. The spring weather in between the week-ends has been so glorious that I have been using some of my vacation days to catch up on my golf game. Two rounds in Pinehurst and a most en joyable round at Sea Scape in Nags Head with my good ■friend Ron Thornburg from Virginia served to recharge my batteries, so to speak. Some of the lady golfers whiled away the cold days by knitting sweaters for the Plymouth club members. I was thrilled by the generous offer of Jearl Harrison to make one for me in a lovely shade of burnt orange. We all plan to wear them at the tournament we are hosting this week in Plymouth for lady golfers from seven nearbt clubs. No matter what the temperature, we are committed to display the results of the heroic efforts of the knitters. 8 FOR SALE 4-bedroom, 2 story house.
