LIBRARY NEWS
The first Print and Draw
ing Traveling Show of the As
sociated Artists of North Car
olina is now on exhibit at the
Davie County Public Library,
and will be shown until June
20.
This show was selected from
the first Print and Drawing
Show of the Association which
was held at Eastern Carolina
College in March of 1965. Since
then it has been traveling
'throughout N. C., primarily to
colleges, libraries and art
centers. The choice of mate
rial for the traveling show
was made from a larger ex
hibition by Mr. Lettario Gali
pai of New York City. Mr.
Galipai is a famous print
maker and teacher at New
York University and Brandeis
University, and has his own
studio, in addition.
Artists represented in this
collection either are or have
been residents of North Car
olina. Many of them are tea
chers in college art depart
ments. There is represented
here the work of one talen
ted student at A. and T. Col
lege, Marvin Outter bridge,
whose piece is entitled 'Ban
jo Solo."
This show is selected not
only because of artistic merit
' of individual pieces but also
to include a great variety of
the printmaking and drawing
techniques such as the dif
ficult silverpoint and oth
er. Viewers will want to note
the work of Sue Moore in
"Composition", number 6 in
the exhibit, and Marilyn Gor
dley's "The City", number 5
in the exhibit.
Styles range from the most
representational to Pop Art.
Many items are not prints,
but drawings and collages.
One of the prize winners is
an ink drawing with collage
by Walter Thrift, and is en
titled "Plateau Canyon, No. 2".
This drawing will leave here
to become the property of the
North Carolina Museum of
Art as the gift of the North
Carolina Print and Drawing
Society.
Except for prize winners,
the works on exhibit are for
sale.
Mrs. Peter Hairston, of Da
vie County, is now serving

Cooleemee
Civic Club
Mrs. Charles Isley wps hos
tess to the Coolaemee Civic
Club at her home on Grove-
Street Tuesday evening, June
7.
Mrs. Robert Stewart pre
sided over the business session
after which Mrs. John Bar
ber, a former president, con
ducted an impressive installa
tion service using the theme,
A Garden for Tomorrow."
Officers installed for the '66-
'67 year were: Mrs. Fred
Pierce, President; Mrs. John
Jerome, Vice President; Mrs.
J. A. Boyce, Treasurer; Mrs.
Craig Snead, Recording Sec
retary; Mrs. J. C. Sell, Jr.,
Corresponding Secretary and
Publicity.
Following the installation
of officers Mrs. Robert Ste
wart, retiring president, was
presented an arrangement of
artificial fruit as a token of
tbe club's appreciation for her
year of service.
Worser Days, Better Times,
an anthology of North Caroli
na Negro folklore compiled
and written by J. Mason Bre
wer, Professor of Humanities
at Livingstone College, Salis
bury, North Carolina, was the
source used for the evening
program. After presenting an
interesting resume Mrs. Isley
introduced Mrs. George Miller
and Mrs. W. N. Hasty, who
continued tbe program with
a dialogue based on anecdotes
taken from the book.
Although primarily humor,
ous, the anecdotes provide
a unique insight into social and
religious customs prevalent
throughout North Carolina. An
interesting observation by Dr.
Brewer, himself a Negro, is
that these customs vary from
state to state. He traveled
over 6000 miles visiting prac
tically every town in North
Carolina, and spent three
years writing the book.
During the social hour club
members drew numbers and
then chose a bag, containing
a hat of unknown origin,
with the corresponding num
ber. As each member mods-led
her new hat votes were
taken as to who looked most
stunning. Top honors went to
Mrs. Grafton Cockrell. Mrs.
Frs-d Pierce, fetching in a
pink bonnet with plumes, gave
a spontaneous rendition of 'O
You Beautiful Doll!" while
gazing in a mirror, and Mrs.
Frank Seders, flapper hat bal
anced precariously, danced a
fast Charleston to slow mu
sic.
Beautiful arrangements of
magnolias, roses and gerber
daisies were used throughout
the living room, dining room
and den.
Candlelight and an imported
linen ploth accented the din
ing room where dainty sand
wiches, sausage rolls, cheese
sticks, Queen Elizabeth cake,
pound cake, watermellon pi
ckle, mints and scuppernong
punch were served.
Assisting Mrs. Isley for ths
last meeting of the year were
Mrs. Buddy Alexander, Mrs.
Robert Stewart, Mrs. Fed
Pierce, and Mrs. Edgar Hoyle.
W. B. Brogdon of Wash
ington, D. C. was in Charlotte
on W sdnesday to attend the
wedding of his sister, Mrs.
Neil Brogdon Pierce, and her
two children, Ann and Larry
Pierce returned home with
