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.

Concord Races
Have you ever attended a
race at the Concord Speed
way? 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. So
if you want to see some good
racing come on out to the
