Library News
Moving time draws near at
the Davie County Public Li
brary, and the results of the
task undertaken by the In
terior Furnishings Committee
are showing the days of
thought, planning and hard
work they have contributed in
past months. Peter Hairston
served as able chairman of
this group. For technical ad
vice on library equipment
needed, he relied on Mrs. Paul
B. Blackwelder, Davie County
Librarian. The committee was
responsible for the choice and
purchase of furniture, draper
ies and other interior furnish
ings, as well as co-ordinating
color schemes throughout the
library.
Charles Morrison Grier and
Associates, Architects, were
extremely helpful with their
suggestions; also the profes
sional services of Carl Barnes,
Interiors, Winston-Salem and
Dan Davis, Interiors, Fork,
proved invaluable.
The aim of the committee
was to retain a traditional
flavor, while planning care
fully for smooth functioning
of the library. Whatever suc
cess may have been attained
in their effort must be attri
buted in large degree to the
co-operation of local people,
and firms with local con
nections. Through their inter
est the cost of furnishings has
been kept to a below-average
cost and the furnishings are
far better than average. The
gift of the Milling Road Furni
ture was of substantial assis
tance in this accomplishment.
In addition to Mr. Hairston,
those serving on the Interior
Furnishings Committee were:
Mrs. Peter Hairston, Mrs.
Knox Johnstone, Mrs. Queen
Bess Kennen and Mrs. I. H.
Huske.
In spite of lengthy discus
sions, many meetings and
knotty problems to be solved,
there was much that was
pleasant in this work. One
example was the important
"planning day" last summer
when the committee, along
with Dan Davis and Carl
Barnes were entertained by
Mr. and Mrs. Hairston at a
charming luncheon, with the
opportunity to exchange ideas
and formulate plans both be
fore and after the meal. This
turned into a profitable
"Spend the day" party and
was a real treat for all!
Beauty outside the library
has not been forgotten as Mrs.
Queen Bess K nnen has ac
cepted the responsibility of
heading a committee for land
scaping the grounds.
The sculpture being execut
ed by Ogden Deal, North Caro
lina artist from McLeansville,
is of special interest since it
was originally provided for in
the plans by the architect.
And now the reason tor it
all the BOOKS are com
ing in and are being prepared
and placed on the shelves,
ready for That Day! There are
boxes of them arriving and
more on order, and our trusty
volunteer worker, Mrs. James
E. Ratchford. is working faith
fully to help us with these
most important Interior Furn
ishings of all-those colorful,
tantalizing, tempting BOOKS.
We'll be so happy when you
are free to share them and
'it won't be long, now!

Frank M. Tatum, son of Mrs

February 6th by a "Frank

Following the evening ves

Frank has a Masters De

the past 2 % years he has been
associated with a former Coo

J. W. Klein in Tuscumbia,
Ala. Brother Klein, as he is
always addressed in Tuscum
bia had the following re
marks in his church bulle
tin on January 30th under
the caption "Pastor's Para
graphs?:
"Today will be the last two
services of our revival ef
fort. The weather has been
bad this week and many peo
ple have been sick but those
who were able to come to
the morning or evening ser
vices, or both, have experi
enced a real "springtime" of
spiritual renewal. Brother
Nobel Cottrell has done such
a splendid job of preaching
the Word. We are grateful for
his coming.
"The Tatums will be mov
ing tomorrow. Frank's min
istry has been accepted by
our people in a splendid way.
Because of the promotion and
changes necessary in doing
elucational work most edu
cational directors have a good
deal of opposition. I do not
know of an educational di
rector who has had less than
Frank. We are grateful for
the things which he has done
to help us in the past two
and a half years and hope
that his experiences here
have been beneficial to him
and the work which he will
do in the future.
"Frank will have a much
larger responsibility at An
niston he will be the
educational director of a
church twice the size of ours
and will have a Youth Di
rector working under him.
"Our best wishes for hap
piness and a very fruitful
ministry go with the Tatums
as they take up their new
work at the Parker Memorial
Baptist Church in Anniston,
Alabama."

WILMINGTON, DEL.
Business for Burlington In
dustries, Inc., the nation's larg
est textile company, is "pro
ceeding at a high level," Pres
ident Charles F. Myers, Jr.,
reported at the annual meeting
of shareholders here Feb. S.
"Billings since January 1 arc
ahead of last year, and order
backlogs are slightly ahead of
the same time a year ago," be
noted.
Capital spending for plant
and equipment in 1906 may
reach $l5O million, Mr. Myera
said, approximately 75%
above the Company's 1965 re
cord outlay for modernization
and expansion. This is an in
crease from the $125 million
estimated earlier. "The exact
total will depend upon such
factors as machinery deliver
ies and completion time- for
construction projects," he
added.
The projected increase in
capital investment does not
represent any single major
project, Mr. Myers said, but is
spread among a number of
modernization and expansion
programs. "We have increased
our productive facilities
through internal capital
projects for many years, mostly
by the expansion of existing
plants," he stated. Our cur
rent capital program includes
seven new plants more
than have ever been under
construction at one time in the
Company's history. Technolo
gical developments have made .
entirely new plants more .
feasible than adding to exist
ing plants in many inrftanoMC
Also, we have reached the
optimum size in some of our
present manufacturing opera
tions, and in other cases avail
ability of labor, utilities and
other essentials require the
location of plants in new
areas."
Mr. Myers pointed out that
defense business accounted for
slightly less than 3% of the
Company's first quarter sales
on an overall basis, since a
large percentage of Burling*
ton's diversified production il
in products which have no
military application.
"Those areas which do make
such products are cooperating
fully with the defense supply
agencies," he said. "It is anti
cipated that our government
business for the full fiscal year
will not exceed 5 to 7% of
total volume."
"Assuming reasonable flex*
ibility in fabric specification,
full participation by all ele
ments of the industry .and
based on information currently
available, it is our belief that
defense requirements for tex
tiles can be met by the indus
try without any significant in
terference with civilian de
liveries."
The textile executive said,
"As indicated by our capital
spending plans, we continue
to be optimistic about the
future of the textile industry
and of Burlington in particu*
lar. Economic projections
through 1970, and five-year
forecasts by our merchandis
ing divisions for our own mar
ket areas, indicate growing
demand for textile products
for apparel, home furnishings
and industrial use."
