Reese, DAC Post Photo Facility) Library News: Gray Owl Says HOOTS A PLEASANT ASSIGNMENT-Not long after I first came to Plymouth as Director of the Pettigrew Regional Li brary, I was appointed to a rather select committee by the State Librarian at that time, the late Philip Ogilvie. My assignment was to represent the small regional libraries on the Advisory Committee for the INTEGON? It means Group Insurance.

C Processing Center where most of the public library books in the state are purchased, catalogued and prepared for circulation. Other librarians were named to speak for larger library systems and for small county libraries. Geographical con siderations were also im portant with committee members appointed from all parts of the state. Meetings were sometimes held in different towns in order to spread the travel burden as evenly as possible but usually the State Library in Raleigh was chosen as the site for the three or four get-togethers held each year. My interest has never lagged since I am UrntJ^^Ofivincad.. ~that centralized processing is the only way for small libraries to exist economically. And evidently my efforts were appreciated since I was re appointed for additional terms of office. Thus, I was pleased when I learned that I would be able to meet, one last time, with this group of librarians before I leave for Florida. The meeting in Raleigh on Monday gives me an op portunity to say a special | good-bye to the staff at the State Library as well as | some of my closest [ associates among the public librarians in North Carolina. SCREECHES SAYING GOOD-BYE— Shakespeare put it so well when he wrote “Parting is such sweet sorrow”. The sorrow, in my case, is having to leave so many friends in North Carolina, especially the northeastern part that has been my home for the past seven years. But the sweet part is discovering the many friends who have made a special point of telling me that I will be missed. The Board of Trustees touched me deeply by arranging a farewell dinner in my honor. It was a lovely gesture and I truly ap preciated the sentiment. The remembrance which they presented to me will have a place of prominence in my office at the West Florida Regional Library in Pensacola, Florida. @ReCk Tyfer ~ Pre-Holiday SALEfe, CLEARANCE^ a large select group of fall fashion fabrics For a limited time only, save on easy-care 100% polyester in 60-inch widths.

Hunt, Jr., has proclaim ed Sunday as “Food Stamp Awareness Day for Senior Citizens”. In issuing this proclamation, the governor focuses attention on a concerted effort underway to ensure that senior citizens understand the Food Stamp Program and how it can help with satisfying their nutritional needs. This state-wide campaign, initiated by the N.C. Department of Human Resources, is being im plemented to improve the diets and health of in dividuals over 60 in the state. The N.C. Division on Aging has indicated that one third of North Carolina’s elderly have incomes below the poverty level. This is compared to a national average of only 18.7 per cent. This situation results in health related problems as many of these individuals cannot afford an adequate diet. Dr. Sarah T. Morrow, Secretary of the Depart ment of Human Resources, has pledged the support of all facets of aid in her department to ensure the health and comfort o the elderly citizens If North Carolina whose individual resources cannot meet basic needs. “Older people are not living at home with their children who looked after them as they used to,” Dr. Morrow said. “Many of our elderly citizens have had to become more and more dependent on federal and state aid, such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Medicare, communal feeding sites, food stamps, and other programs. We want to make available to our senior citizens the services they need to enable them to maintain good health and live comfortably in their own home as long as possible.” Ballard's Bridge Church Slates Dual Observance The Ballard’s Bridge Baptist Church will observe Harvest Day and Homecoming Sunday.
