Tlie Book of Memory was established l>y tlie Board of Trustees of
Chowan College on February 19, 1962, as a means whereby friends of
llie college may memorialize the memory of deceased loved ones and
friends.
The inscriptions are made under the authorization and direction of
ihe Board of Trustees of Chowan College. Included herein are the names
of those persons to whose memory a “living memorial” has been establish
ed l)y a contribution to the General Endowment Fund, the date of their
death and name of tlie person or persons making the gift. The college, by
means of a letter, informs the family of the deceased person that the
contribution has been made, but does not reveal the amount of the gift.
Two primary benefits are accrued: the offering of a source of satis
faction to persons desiring a memorial opportunity to memorialize the me
mory of a deceased friend or loved one, and the strengthening of the Gen
eral Endowment Fund of the college. The gifts to the General Endowment
Fund, in lieu of sending flowers, which soon wither and pass away, there
by provide a “living memorial” and a vital investment in Christian
Higher Education and the future of young people for many, many years
to come.
Moreover, there is an opportunity for the bereaved family or friends,
on the anniversary of the death of a deceased loved one or friend, to make
an additional gift and thus perennially renew the exjjressed sentiments.

Communication Methods
NEW YORK AP —The text of
President Johnson’s State of the
Union message was delivered
to Associated Press membe.s
equipped with high-speed trans-
misrion facilities by a new system
utilizing the AP's own computer
1 v'-tem.
This was another first for The
As'ociated Press in the p-e^s as
sociation communications field.
The text of the messape was
transmitted from Washington to
New York.
In New York this tape was re
processed to change the letters to
upper and lower case and was fed
through the AP’s computer system.
The system automatically, and at
high speed reproduced the perfo"-
ated tape in another form designed
for feeding through autom-'tic
equipment producing hot type.
Type is set automatically by
newspapers using the system by
feeding perforated tape through
machines that produce lines of
type of unifoi m width.
Production has been dependent
upon the dextcity of keyboard op
erators in including manually in
the perforated tape the coded sig
nals that result in uniform spac
ing of lines and in hyphenating
words where necessary at the ends
of lines.
In a computer operation this uni
form spacing, known as justifi
cation. and hypening of words are
done automatically, resulting in a
higher rate of tape production.
The President's message con
sisted of approximately 3,000
words. The transmission rate of
the system over which the tape
wa? relayed is t.t:50 words per
minute. This means that from the
start of the text transmission to
completion of the project less than
three minutes elapsed.
The Associated Press last Jan-
ua y installed a computer system
to keep an up-to-the-second record
oi' trading in stock issues on the
New York exchanges.
The AP i. the only prejs a'.-
sociation using its own computers
and its own staff to tabulate and
distribute the record of stock trad
ing.

Warning Issued
On Savings Bond
''Chain Letters''
The U. S. Treasury is cautioning
the public against the current rash
of Savings Bonds "chain letters"
which are reportedly being circu
lated on some colle.ge campuses
in North Carolina.
Walter P. Johnson, N. C. State
Director of the U. S. Savings Bonds
Division, announced recently that
"The Treasury Department is op
posed to such practices. The ob
jections stem from the fact that
such schemes make fraudulent
misuse of Savings Bonds, and ex
perience over the years has shown
that the vast majority of people
who participate in such schemes o;-
(eries lose their investment.
“Some chain letter plans imply
the idea in order to increase bond
sales. This is not true. Banks and
other issuing agents have instruc
tions to refuse to sell Savings
Bonds in cases where they know or
have reason to suspect that the
bonds issued will be used in any
type of chain letter scheme. This
applies whether or not the letter:
and-or bonds are to be transmitte l
through the U. S. mail.
“The purchase of Savings Bond.;
as gifts is encouraged so long as
they are not associated with any
type of fraudulent practice. The
Trea.sury wants to sell as many
bonds to as many citizens as pos
sible - but always within the frame
work of thrift and not as a vehicle
for a chain letter or any other
■get rich quick' scheme."
