Tar Heel Spotlight Archives Secure Would you invest three-tenths of one percent of the worth of valuables to insure their pro tection? The state of North Carolina has done just that - invested a very small sum to protect its priceless archives collection - one of the most valuable in the United States. Just last week installation was completed on an extensive security system to monitor visitors to the search room in the Archives and History/State Library Building in Raleigh. State Archivist Thornton Mitch ell explained that in 1974, a series of thefts of several documents over a six - months period took place which precipitated the installation of the monitoring system. "We had things stolen by people we didn't even know were here." Dr. Mitchell explained. "The people hadn't registered as they came in." The system, recommended and developed by the SB1, features four stationary cameras and two roving cameras mounted in the search room, plus a monitor for each just outside the door. Two security guards who monitor the sets can use the moveable cameras to zoom in close enough to read the document or handwriting on the tables. With the new equipment, visitor registration is mandatory. The first time a patron arrives to use the search room, his positive identifi cation is shown to one of the security guards. He is then photo graphed and in a minute or two. is given a laminated card bearing his photograph and identification. The card is about the size and shape of a N.C. .driver's license. A duplicate photograph of the patron is kept in the guard's files. On subsequent visits, the visitor merely registers as he enters the search room and shows the guard ? INCOME? Continued from page 1 Young explained that even though a decrease was shown for the year, it was not as bad as it seemed because there has been a steady decline in the figures since 1973 which was an unusually good year. "Before the large increase to almost 19 million in 1973, the average income was only about eleven or twelve million. We are up to about 16 million now and if it had not been for the large increase in 1973. we would have shown a steady increase." he said. He said the income level will probably stay about the same since the prices are expected to go up and the county will plant about the same amount of tobacco this year. "I'd say the overall picture is reasonably bright. It is as good or maybe a little better than in 1975." he concluded. ?BAREFOOT? Continued from page 1 there, but you should get justice, too.' and he called Buoyer at the salvage yard. Dave then called Zeke and talked to him. and he hung up and told me to go back to Zeke. Zeke would take care of it. He told Zeke if it w as stolen, it was a felony committed". Barefoot said. The trailer, which is now at the city garage, was bought back from Racford Salvage yard two weeks ago by a city worker identified as Thomas Carpenter, according to Clayton Buoyer, owner of the yard. Buoyer said he sold it back for SI 1.50. what he paid for it three weeks previously. City manager Robert Drum wright said last week the trailer didn't belong to Barefoot, it was surplus city property. "The city wants me to show I bought the materials for it, well if it's theirs, don't they have to show they bought the materials?" Bare foot said. "The trailer isn't worth any thing. but I want the people to understand I wasn't trying to steal it. And people should know Thomas Carpenter is one of the best workers the city's got. I don't believe he would do that, somebody has framed him. He wouldn't do it without somebody telling him" Barefoot charged. Wiggins said Tuesday it "ap peared no criminal charges will be filed, based on the evidence" and said it would be impossible to take the case any further. "There is no proof of ownership, there's nothing registered with Raleigh, how are you going to prove ownership?" Wiggins said. "Unless something new turns up, the case is closed." City manager Robert Drum wright refused comment on the matter, as he did last week, although a reliable source said city workers Thomas Carpenter and David Lunsford both quit last week. "I'd rather not say." Drum wright said when asked about the workers. his identification card. When he requests a book or documents from search room staff, he surrenders his card, which is returned to him as the manuscripts or books are returned to the desk. And the system is completed when the visitor displays his card to the guard again as he leaves. "The security system was just a necessity," Dr. Mitchell explained. "Theft of valuable documents is becoming increasingly critical all over the country." He pointed out that the system is not entirely foolproff, of course, but certainly serves as a deterrent to theft. He noted that the pressure and the demand on the use of the search room is such that the staff had no time for the most elementary precautions - with the search room full, the staff could not watch individual people. Dr. Mitchell theorized that theft of valuable documents is on the rise for possibly two reasons: Thieves steal for money to buy narcotics; and also the market for valuable manuscripts has increased tre mendously as a hedge against inflation. He emphasized that these se curity measures have been taken in the N.C. Archives to protect the records and make them available to all citizens instead of just a chosen few. "These are public records, created by public officials at public expense -- the public is entitled to have them protected and made available for their use." The archives collection of North Carolina is one of the major assets of the state and as such will be protected. He said there have been few complaints about the system from regular users. One man com plained about all the "fuss and bother," but was sympathetic when told of the 1974 thefts. The cost of the S23.000 system is less that .03% of the total estimated value of the $75 million collection. Would you pay a few pennies to protect a precious document? Road Closed The Department of Transporta tion has closed SR 1100, the Rockfish Road, from U.S. 401 while maintenance crews replace the bridge over Little Rockfish Creek on SR 1102, the Gillis Hill Road, near the Cumberland-Hoke county line. The road, which closed Feb. 12, is expected to be re-opened in about two weeks, according to DOT officials. Traffic will be detoured over Rockfish Road on the Cumberland and Galatia Church Road, 1419, or from Wayside to Rockfish Road, 1418, over U.S. 401 in Hoke County. Length of detour is five miles. ?

Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Clilton visited relatives in Washington last week Read John 15:1-8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. (John 15:8) 1 like to observe plants and fruit trees. Recently 1 saw an orange tr. e beside the road with its limbs bare of leaves. Only on the highest limbs were a few ripe oranges that appeared to be tasty. I stopped to think about the orange tree. How many times had passersby lashed the tree, and how much fruit had it given each of them? Even when it has no more fruit, as long as it has leaves it can be used as a Shade. It is useful even after it is dead -- its limbs can be burned to give heat. Our Christian life can be fruitful even in the midst of the ungrate fulness of fellow human beings. Our life in Jesus Christ makes this possible. PRAYER: Lord Jesus, help us to be useful to tired travelers who come under the shadow of our life. In Your blessed name we pray. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Are some of the fruits of God's love available to others through us? -copyright-THE UPPER ROOM -Ezequiel Lopes Pereira Sao Paulo, Brazil accident, according to trooper K.W.Weston. Emett P. Stubbs, 23, Bennetts ville, S.C., was charged with drunken driving, improper pass ing, following too closely, and careless and reckless driving, ac cording to Weston. Weston gave this account: Two North Raeford Fire De partment trucks, along with several volunteer firemen vehicles, were returning from a fire and pro ceeding north on 401 headed for the city when a 1973 Pontiac Grand AM operated by Stubbs overtook the cars and begain tailgating the fire truck. Chief George Baker, operating the fire truck, radioed for law enforcement assistance, and the Pontiac crossed a double yellow line to pass the fire truck and struck the rear of a van truck occupied by Elkins and Polston which was headed north on 401. The impact knocked the van 397 feet onto the shoulder, rupturing the gas tank, and the firemen hosed down the highway to prevent a fire. Stubbs and two passengers were uninjured. According to Weston, Stubbs became belligerent and cursed Baker, and Stubbs was physically restrained. Stubbs was released on bond pending a Mar. 5 hearing.
