(Picture on front page) Quoting the Chinese proverb that “nothing is perfect,” Robert J. Bruneau, of Stamford, Conn., representing the trustees of the Given Memorial Library at dedi cation ceremonies opening the building Friday, said he felt that the Chinese were wrong. After seeing the Library, he said, he thought it was perfect. The 250 who attended open house at the library through the day following the dedication, seemed' to agree with him. The colonial brick structure is set like a jewel in the Village Green, fac ing the Holly Inn, with big win dows for views of the massive surj-ounding pines and assuring light within. The total collection of books now numbers 6,327, according to librarian Mrs. Glen Rounds of Southern Pines. Assistant librar ians are Mrs. Bessie Blodgett and Mrs. Marion Keller of Pinehurst. A day of Indian summer warmth with brilliant sunshine was made to order for the dedication ceremonies, held in front of the library, where landscaping is complete and grass is already lush and green. There is a fountain Which plays throughout the day, and a frog which arrived as soon as the fountain was installed and seems to be staying on as a mas cot. Following the invocation by the Rev. RoscOe L. Prince, pastor of the Pinehurst Community Church, Mr. Bruneau spoke briefly and on beihalf of the Trustees of the Irene Heinz and John La Porte Given Foundation, turned the library building over to the community. All the trustees were present, in addition to Mr. Bruneau—Mrs. Clifford S. Heinz and Frank Cliffe of Pittsburgh; Harold W. Conroy and Dr. M. M. Mellicow of New York City, and Eric Nel son of Pinehurst, who is president of the Given Memorial Library. Also there to lay the corner stone and unveil the bronze name plaque, was the president of the Given Foundation and honorary president of the library, Mrs. Sarah Larson of Manchester, N. H., who is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John L. Given, establishers of the foundation, and former Pinehurst winter resi dents. Given Memorial officers, in ad dition to Mr. Nelson and Mrs. Larson, who were present for the dedication, were; vice-president, Mrs. Max von Schlegell; secre tary-treasurer, Richard S. Tufts; and officers, Mrs. Albert S. Tufts, Rassie Wicker, the Rev. Mr. Prince, and Pinehurst Schools superintendent, Lewis S. Cannon. Albert S. Tufts, president of Pinehurst, Inc., which donated the property where the library stands, presented the deed to the land to Mr. Nelson. Speaking briefly on how build ing came about, he said; “Sever al years ago, Eric Nelson ap proached Pinehurst, Inc. and ask ed if we would give an appropri ate tract for a library. He stated that the Given Foundation was considering a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Given. As we had been concerned about lack of library facilities, of course we were delighted at the prospect. “About 70 years ago,” he said, “the founding father of Pinehurst, James W. Tufts, who was my grandfather, purchased some 5,000 acres of land in this area. He had definite ideas on establishing the village and one was to feature a village green. “The story goes that one day he was wandering around over his acres trying to decide where to start his village. He was walk ing about 100 feet behind this building when he found his spot. He stuck his cane in the ground and said, in effect, ‘Here is the center of my Village.’ “Seventy years later, Eric Nel son also stuck a stick into the ground only 100 feet or so away and said, ‘Here shall be the Given Memorial Library’ — and we agreed.” Earlier in the ceremonies, Rich ard S. Tufts, chairman of the board of Pinehurst, Inc., officially accepted the building from the trustees of the Given Foundation, as a representative of the board of directors of the library. Said Mr. Tufts; “The opportun ity for worship and the means to obtain an education are condi tions essential to the development of a happy community life. I can remember when the public school in Pinehurst was operated in a small frame building near the livery stables and the only re ligious services were conducted in a public hall located on that vacant lot just across the street (from the library) . . . Today we have three organized churches to serve our religious needs and a public school so fine that we can measure its superiority by saying th't the old building would fit nicely on the stage of the present auditorium. “. . . But as the village has developed I have shared with others a strong feeling that the community life could never be complete without a library . . . the leisure hours of retirement and even an interest in sport all call for the availability of the knowledge that one finds in a li brary.” The speaker recalled Mr. and Mrs. Givens’ 44 years of close association with Pinehurst which began when they first visited here in 1913. The couple, he said, took an active part in the sporting and social life of the community. Mrs. Given served as director of the Pinehurst Religious Association and Mr. Given was president of both the Tin Whistles and the Pinehurst Country Club, and was also a member of the Village Council. Mr. Given, said Mr. Tufts, took a special interest in the develop ment of Moore Memorial Hospit al, and every year, both Mr. and Mrs. Given gave generously to the former library here. Concluding, Mr. Tufts said; “In the acceptance of this library, we are all conscious of its beauty and its value to the community, but above all, we are pleased with the knowledge that it will also serve as a memorial to a long and happy friendship.” Results Listed In PCC Tourneys Two sisters from Canada, Mrs. F. R. Murgatroyd and Mrs. J.C.T. Sihler, teamed to take the first prize in Friday’s tournament for women members of the Pine hurst Country Club.
