Film Night At The Library The Historical Maps of ear ly Carolina are receiving a great deal of attention from patrons, and at the film show ing on Monday night, July 24th, they will be .*ble to enjoy "Pioneer Journey Ac ross the Appalachians." This film ties in with the display, and gives us a greater know ledge and appreciation of the pioneers in our own Carolina country. The story follows a North Carolina family westward ac ross the Appalachians before the Revolutionary War. It ex plains why the early settlers moved west, how they traveled and other concepts underlying this movement. It is good en tertainment for the whole fa mily. The other film to be shown will be interesting to children and adults alike. "Children of the Silent Night" follows a deaf-blind girl over a two-year period as she is taught to hear with her finger, recognize language from vibra tions, and eventually to speak for herself. Its approach is cre ative, sympathetic and most in teresting. It does a very good job of conveying the process of teaching deaf-blind children —so good, in fact, that it was the Winner in the 4th Annual Film Festival.

Have you «nr mat any of the drivers at that race, Carl Reeves, Buck Cornell. Shorty Nichols, Jerry Walker or Jimmy Talley. These boys it would seem, eat bolts for breakfast and pick their teeth with a push rod. They and their pit crew put everything they can into each and every race, because the honor of hearing their name shouted by the fans and the satisfac tion of each one involved in winning a race, can make them hold their heads high with' pride, because a lot of blood and sweat has been poured in to their machine that would put them out front. They are the backbone of the car it self. They need good vision on the track if they hope to keep his catlike nerves at a peak and watch for every haa ard that might arise. The driv ers are not a machine like the one he is driving. They are someone that deserves respect in every way. So give the drivers the respect that is due them. The next time you hear a fellow say "Aw, a guy would have to be a little crazy to drive one of those cars," or "I could drive that thing bet ter than he can," give him a few of the facts, and show him that its not any easy life and aren't we all a little crazy? After all look on the high ways and the race track.
