Library News
Be Speedy, Use Card Catalog
It's very nice to see many of our
patrons using the card catalog. If
you have been afraid to do so in the
past, you might enjoy looking up
the books or information you would
like, especially if all our folks are
busy when you come in. If speed is
what you are looking for in library
service this could help a lot.
We will have the present library
in pretty good shape as far as
lighting is concerned. We are
constantly having to replace fluores
cent tubes. So the folks who follow
us into this building will have good
lighting, we hope.
So many of our patrons see book
reviews on the Today Show and
come right down to the library to
check them out. We wish we could
have all of them by the time you see
them, but unfortunately when they
are brand new it still takes a while
for us to get them on our shelves.
But we keep trying.
PG PG PG. We see a lot of these
all around the new library but when
they are all washed away we hope to
have something more pleasing for
you to see on and through the large
windows. The windows are in, the
floors are being covered, the baths
tiled, walls paneled, etc., on the
inside. It surely is shaping up in a
hurry.
We are going to miss the "Choo
choo train" and all its noises when
we move. As most of you know the
Aberdeen & Rockfish and Laurin
burg & Southern tracks cross
behind the library. At least one of
them comes by every day. The
children attending our story hour
on Tuesday always like to watch
and listen to the "choo choo." They
too will miss it. Although as loud as
the whistle sounds here we may be
able to hear it a couple of blocks
away.
We will also miss he big yellow
cat and two or three spotted dogs
who come bv to find anv scraps of
food that might have been thrown
into the trash bin.
"THE SPIRIT OF -76" ?? A
compilation of exemplary acts of
conduct by American men and
women throughout the first two ?
hundred years of United States
history. Willard E. Rosenfelt,
general editor.
The stories in this book are
adapted from "The Spirit of '76". a
series of radio programs.
The stories recall the accom
plishment of Americans through all
periods of our history. Many of the
subjects are familiar; others are
little known. But they all show the
uniquely American quality em
bodied in the "Spirit of '76".
The radio programs were first
broadcast at Valley Forge. Like the
radio program, this publication will
help to perpetuate our great
American traditions.

Measures Health
Of Local Residents
How healthy are Hoke County
residents? Judging by the amount
of time they need to take out
because of illness, are they in better
shape than they were some years
ago?
Just how healthy the people in
one section of the country are, on
this basis, compared with people in
other areas, is brought out in
annual surveys made by the
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare and by the Health
Insurance Institute.
The index that is used to
determine general health is dis
ability days, which takes into
account the number of days that
people are forced by illness or
injury to stay home from work or
from school, to stay in bed or
otherwise to cut down temporarily
on their normal activities.
According to figures recently
released, there has been a notice
able increase in disability days in
Hoke County's regional area in
recent years, as there has been in
most other parts of the country.
Based upon the latest report, the
local population is averaging 18.8
days of restricted activity per
person per year, including 7.5 days
spent in bed. This compares with
16.9 restricted days, 6.7 of them in
bed. 10 years ago.
Elsewhere throughout the na
tion. people were on the disability
list for an average of 17.2 days, of
which 6.7 were bed days. School
children took 5.6 days off. on
average, for health reasons.
Because of wages lost and
medical expenses incurred, the
economic loss is great.
In Hoke County, applying the
average rate of disability in the
regional area locally, it adds up to
an overall loss of 187,000 activity
days per year for the population as
a whole.
A considerable amount of it
represents time taken off by
workers because of illness or injury.
The average nationally is 4.9 days
per employed person.
In general, it appears, a family's
state of health is linked with its
mode of life and its economic well ?
being.
The Ameican Medical Associa
tion finds that the healthiest people
in the country are those with better
- than - average incomes living on
farms in the midwest
