Library News Series Begins Mar. 4 During March the Sandhill Regional Library System, the Hoke County Bicentennial Commission and the Woman's Club of Raeford , are sponsoring a series of five weekly programs, which will be held in Raeford. The overall title of this series is "The Good Old Days: Then or now?" The programs are funded by the North Carolina Humanities Committee and each will feature a speaker from a North Carolina college or university. There will also be a panel of local people who are interested or experienced in the discussion area. Panel members and the audience will have the opportunity to question the speakers or comment on their remarks. THE GOOD OLD DAYS: THEN OR NOW? Hoke County, N.C. March 4, 11, 16. 23 and 30. The advance of technology in the twentieth century has affected every aspect of community life in North Carolina. Technology, in this con text, encompasses all the know - now, the methods and the tech niques that have come to influence human activity. Technological ad vances have established a new way of life in North Carolina and throughout the world. It is the design of this project to bring the old and the new ways of life into juxtaposition to see what one says to the other. A NEW KIND OF SOCIETY Although the rural communities in North Carolina are slower to change than those in some areas, the community, as it was once known, no longer exists. There is a great awareness of the "larger society." and the local community is affected and changed by in fluences outside of the immediate community. We have today the highest standards of living ever attained but also the highest degrees of alienation, violence and anxiety. Speaker: Dr. Waldo Beach, Duke Unlvenlty A NEW KIND OF WORK The machine has taken over and the worker must look elsewhere for the satisfaction he once derived from his own creative ability. The working hours are shorter. Job education is changing. Speaker: Dr. John Young, David ton College , A NEW KIND OF LEISURE A new kind of leisure has moved in to take up the free time produced by technological advancement. Where, for example, pleasure was i once found in family and group relationships, today pleasure is distributed en masse through tele vision. Speaker: Dr. Janice Hardlaon Faulkner, Eait Carolina unlvenlty A NEW KIND OF WORSHIP In attempting to identify itself with the twentieth century, the church has produced a new kind of worship, characterized by changes in the liturgy of both Protestant and Catholic churches. The rele vance of the institutional church for modern man is being questioned. Speaker: Dr. Michael D. Mc Daniel, Lenoir Rhyne College These are suggested areas which each topic might cover. The speaker may elect to narrow or broaden the specific area on which he will speak. BOOKMOBILE SCHEDULE DUNDARRACH, March 2, 1976 - Mrs. C.C. Conoly, Mrs. Myrtle Sappenfield, Mrs. Bill Johnson.

Eisenhower throughly investigated and review ed by two state commissions -- the N.C. Medical Care Commission and the N.C. Local Government Commission. Any proposed hospi tal improvement projects will have to be necessary and financially feasible before these two commis sions will issue and sell revenue bonds. To qualify for tax free revenue bonds, the hospital borrowing the money must transfer the title to the Medical Care Commission. When the debt is repaid, the title is trans ferred back to the hospital. This safeguard protects all parties con cerned, but still permits the community to retain actual control over its own local institutions. Tax free revenue bonds are highly technical; however, they are widely accepted and used in many states to finance hospital improve ment projects. Bonds are repaid from hospital revenues and charges --not taxes or with tax increases. Savings, in the form of lower interest costs to hospitals, will be passed on to hospital patients. SPEAKER? Rev. T. Robert Mul linax of Raleigh will lead off the first round of World Mission Week of the Robeson Baptist Associa tion at Ephesus Baptist Church on Feb. 29.
