OPEN FORUM A column dedicated to opinions of the public. A mouthpiece for the ?lews and observations of our friends and readers for which we accept no responsibility. Contribu tion* to this column must not exceed three hundred words. Southport, N. C. j December 19, 1946 Editor, State Port Pilot, Southport, N. C. Dear Editor: I noted with interest your re cent editorial about library ser- j vice for Brunswick county. Sure ly this is a matter for much serious thought since there is only one public library in the J county and that is inaccessible to | most of the people, being located here in Southport. Never before has it been more important that : our people as individuals be in j formed as to what is going on in t the world and the effect of such i events on their lives. In no other I way can we be better informed I than by reading of books and STRING BAND DANCING EVERY NIGHT WEDNESDAYS - SATURDAYS (Big Nights) Lunches, Soft Drinks, Etc. A CORDIAL WELCOME MRS- CARRIE'S PLACE Opposite Showground Winter Quarters Near Brunswick River Bridge LELAND, N. G. papers. Of course, the radio is a great medium of information but it cannot do the work of books. And so, it is up to the people of Brunswick county to see that we do get this labrary service that is being offered to us by our State I government if we will only raise 5900.00. 1 feel sure that with as many public-minded citizens as we have in the county that this can and will be done, even though there are many demands being made on us every day for other worthy purposes. Our people need the books, especially those in the remote communities. Surely some organization in the county will undertake this task. Let's have more editorials and articles on this subject that the people of Brunswick county msv become aware of what they are J missing when they do not have library service. Sincerely yours, Susie Sellers Carson BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT | Mr. ancf Mrs. B. L.
