Postmaster Bill White has
been commended by William
H Neal, National Director of
the U. S Savings Bonds Di
vision, for his leadership and
service to the Treasury De
partment's School Savingfl
Program.
In a letter to the Post
master, Mr Neal said 'The
mission of School Savings is
in many ways more import
ant today than at any time
since the end of World War
11. Today's young people,
growing up in a world whose
troubles admit to no easy so
lutions, need grounding in
the simple truths of their
American heritage as prepar
ation for the challenges they
face. The lesson of thrift is
important in itself; but it
becomes even more so when
it also involves the invest
ment of dimes and quarters,
often saved at a sacrifice, in
the future of our country
through Savings Stamps and
Bonds."
School Savings, which op
erates in Cooleemee schools,
is a part of the nationwide
Savings Bonds Program Mr.
Neal told the Postmaster that
"the good service you render
plays a major part in its sue.
cess." Saving Stamps in five
denominations, from 10 cents
to $5, are on sale at all times
at the post office and on
Stamp Day in schools.
Postmaster White comment
ed that "the sale of Savings
Stamps to the public es
pecially to young people
through the School Savings
Program is a service we
are proud to offer. I know
of no finer way to build for
a better tomorrow than by
training our youth in the
sound American heritage of
thrift."

Library News
Have you seen the beau-]
tiful model ships in the ves
tibule display at your Pub
lic Library? Numberless are
the tales of the sea told
and re-told by those who
love it in all its moods
powerful and frightening,
thrilling, quiet and peace
ful, full of adventure or be
calmed and boring.
All these you can find in
your Davie County Public
Library, and the display points
up all the interesting facets
of the sea for those who
want to take a land-lubber's
voyage!
A model of the C. S. S.
Alabama in full sail, with
crewmen in position was
beautifully made by Jack
Pennington.
The other model is the U.-
S. S. Kearsarge which fought
the Alabama off Cerbourg
on June 19, 1864.
They form an especially
interesting display since they
actually had an encounter in
which the Alabama was sunk.
The Kearsarge model has
a particularly intriguing his
tory connected with our li
brary. J. C. Brigman, who
lived in Davie County until
a few months ago, assembled
it and presented it to the
library as a token of thanks
for the help rendered him by
the library staff during re
search on his ship-building
project.
Mr. Brigman hails originally
from Norfolk and was so fa
miliar ship* ttiat he
wrote the company 'which
sold the model, citing dis
crepancies he had found in
the model and verified in the
library.
The company acknowledged
his suggestions as correct, and
plans to make changes in the
new model when put on the
market
The Davie County Public
Library is grateful for Mr.
Brigman's gift, and proud of
showing the finished work
manship of both Mr. Iton
nington and Mr. Brigman.
We hope you will enjoy them
as much as We do, and will
