A CIVIC ASSET ENDANGERED A question frequently usked of Southern Pines real estate men by prospective winter resi dents is: “Have you a library here?” Southern Pines not only has a library, but has one of the best libraries to be found in any but the major cities of the state. In its selection of books it has for years enjoyed the wise coun sel and guidance of authors and wTiters of national reputation. That the local library is a dis tinct asset is proven by the very question cited above. But the appreciation of its existence by the winter visitors is appar ently not shared by the resident population. The library is inade quately supported, and Southern Pines is in danger of losing an institution which should and does mean much to it. Though the maintenance costs are low it is not balancing its budget, even with the aid of contribu tions by a few generous citizens who realize its importance to the community. Something should be done about it, and done at once. Bus iness men, professional men, ho tel men, property owners should lend their support to the library as if an inv'estment of their ow'n, for it is just that—an in vestment in the cultural side of a towTi which boasts an intelli- as often as the big ones that count in the long run. If we all tote fair with every individual who comes within our gates we will do a big business for the future. The Chamber of Com merce might adopt as its funda mental policy, “Don’t let any body go away from here dis satisfied,” for it is dissatisfied folks that knock the props out from under anything. In addi tion to making this the most pleasant place on earth it should be our creed to make it the most attractive pl^ce and to keep ti that way. There is no customer as good as the individual who is certain he has received the val ue of his money, and cordial re lations count for as much a.^ virtues and shelter. THE MOORE COl NTY HOSPITAL From t;he Moore County Hos pital comes a copy of the annual report covering the work done there in the past year. The re port shows that nearly 2,700 persons, white and black, were cared for either in the institu tion or as out patients who made calls there for treatment and advice. Over a fourth of the number were negroes. Over 425 X-ray examinations were made, and above 7,000 laboratory tests. The total days of care for all pa tients exceetied 11,000. The baby crop reached 58, and 215 major surgical and 273 minor surgical operations were performed. From 17 of the chief points of the county the invalids came to the hospital, as well as from 127' points where the number var ied from one up to half a dozen.

From all quarters the signs hung out appear to be highly encourag ing, which means that this is; to be a winter in which a favor- i able impression must be made. What the folks see here this winter is likely to influence them in the years that are ahead. Pinehurst and Southern Pines are business propositions. To provide satisfactory entertain ment for the strangers who come here is what they have a right to expect of the commun ities. And, there is no reason to doubt that what is expected will be provided.

In other words the total income of the hospital from pay ing patients w^as $28,692, while the total opera,ting and adminis trative expenses totaled $61,830, leaving a shortage of $33,138, and the report says this gap be tween the cost of running the hospital and the payments by patients is the perennial finan cial problem. But from the Duke Endowment and from other gen erous friends came $27,956, cut ting the deficit down to less than six thousand dollars for the year. This deficit is not a hospital com munity deficit, for the institu tion is a community necessity, now that the people have come to know it and to depend on it.

Editor, The Pilot: It has, at present, an unusually fine, small library, one of which many a larger town would certainly be proud. And, to the casual observer, the library seems to be in pretty con stant use. It is used by tourists and winter visitors, In fact, it must furn ish a large part of the pleasure of some of these. It is used by school children and, I think also, by their I parents. It is used by sick people, by convalescents, by tired business I men . . . and women . . . who preter j to rent rather than to buy a good detective story. Students use the li- I brary, young and mature people who • like to be up to the times and cer- i tainly can better pay a membership fee than the price of outstanding best sellers. Unless, I am very much mistaken, I seem to have heard from our busi ness men expressions of interest in the pleasure of our winter visitors. Surely, here is a class of citizens who might reasonable be expected to rally to the library’s support. Parents of school children, I am sure, w'ould be sorry to see it close. Hotel and inn keepers might feel the loss. Teachers would regret it. From all such inter ested quarters, it should be possible to get, without the expense and dif ficulty of any organized appeal, help to the moderate degree necessary to keep a fine and helpful organization on its feet. The question is important, for un less something prompt and practical is done to demonstrate such a want, tlie Southern Pines Library will have to close. A motion to that effect wilj very probably be made at the next meeting. Patron memberships are $25.00 each per year. Sustaining memberships are $5.00 each per year. Ordinary memberships are $1.00 each per year with fee for each book borrowed: 10 cents for the newest books (until four months old) and 5 cents for the older books. A town without a library is either one of such a high degree of culture and wealth that each family has a well stocked and up to date book room of his own; or it is a town of such low degree of culture that it cares to keep in touch neither with modern life nor with the past.
