Remodeled Civic Center Offers
? *
New Facilities to Morehead Folks
The Webb Memorial Civic Cen

the new look which It acquired
through a remodeling laat summer.
One of the moat attractive build
ings in the county, it also houaea
Morehead City* public library.
Until the remodeling, the library
waa on the second floor Two doc
tor's offices which were located
on the first are no longer there
and the office apace has been trans
formed into shelved rooms and
reading rooms.
The library has more than 5,
000 volumes and there are plans
to increase it eventually to 10,000.
In addition to the children's read
ing room upstairs, another large
room which formerly was the main
library, has shelves on which older
book; are kept. Those too, are
available for circulation.
Everyone is welcome to borrow
books at the library, stop in and
browse, read a magazine or news
paper. There are two entrances,
one on 9th Street and one on Ev
ans. Hours are 9 a.m. to noon and
1 p.m. to S Monday through Satur
day. On hand to help folks with
finding a book or suggesting read
ing matter is Mrs. E. A. Council or
Mr. F. C. Salisbury.
The civic center has long been
known to residents of the town as
a meeting place for civic and
church groups with the library,
unfortunately, being considered a
sideline. For that reason, new
residents in town, or summer vis
itors who would ask "Where is the
public library?" were frequently
told, "We don't have one."
Then after the stranger went
away shaking his head in amaze
ment, the person who said there
waa none suddenly would remem
ber that of course there was one,
"At the civic center where we hold
meetings, there's a library in that
large room back there on the sec
ond floor!"
Since th changes have been
made, more and more people are
becoming 'aware that the library
is open to anyone and it can be
reached by just a few steps up from
the sidewalk, something that
should please folks who dislike
climbing stairs.
All groups which fall in the cat
egories designated in the charter
under which the building is oper
ated are welcome to meet .there.
Those groups must be educational,
charitable or religious
The civic center is used, and has
been used in the past, by the

and Girls Hi-Y, Red Cross, Sym

By NORWOOD YOUNG
Noble Harold Glenn Cuthrell, of
Maxton, was guest speaker at the
Jctober meeting of the Carteret
bounty Shrine Club at its meeting
Friday night at the Sanitary Fish
Market and Restaurant, Morehcad
rity.
A former pastor of the Marshall
berg Methodist Church, Noble
I'uthrell spoke on "Faith." "I like
to think of faith as the power of
God within the soul," he said,
which enables the individual to
live creatively in spite of the weak
tiesses, infirmities, and troubles
that possess his mind and body.'i
The Rev. Mr. Cuthrell praised
the institution of Shrinedom as
jne of the nation's leading propo
tents of faith. "Its beneficent and
beautiful ministry unto crippled
ind handicapped children," he
laid, "is not only helping their
:rippled conditions, but is instili
ng faith, fortitude, courage, hope
ind spiritual strength into the
lives of these unfortunate boys and
girls."
There is some infirmity, some
weakness, some tribulation in the
lives of all of us, continued the
ipeaker. In order to face our af
flictions with courage we must be
possessed with faith. The speaker
laid many of the world's greatest
men were afflicted with severe
handicaps, but through their faith
ind determination, they surmount
ed almost hopeless odds to become
[amous for their deeds.
There was Beethoven, the com
poser, he said, who was deaf; John
Milton, the poet, who waa blind;
Sir Walter Scott, a cripple; Robert
Louis Stevcoaoo, afflicted with tu
berculosis; Franklin D. Roosevelt,
a victim of polio; and Louis Pas
teur, a paralytic.
'A Challenge'
"Life is a Challenge," said Noble
Cuthrell. "We must meet it with
faith, and turn every calamity into
an opportunity, accident into
achievement, sorrow into song,
misery into happiness. We must
lose ourselves in fruitful service to
(hose in despair. 1 know with the
power of faith we can achieve mir
acles Let us remember alwaya
our heritage with the Christian
Faith.
"Our eyes are fastened upon the
blazing stars of God . . . Nobles, let
us not falter in our duties, let us
not be defeated by the powers of
darkness and discouragement. In
stead, let us labor for a world
blessed by tlje beauty and the
glory of a Christian faith."
Stricken with a malignant ail
ment that threatened his very life,
in addition to destroying his vocal
chords. Noble Cuthrell's hazar
dous journey along the road to re
covery, of both speech and health,
is a shining example of the pow
ers of faith and determination.
Left completely speechless fol
lowing an operation three years
ago, Friday's speaker has. through
many arAious hours of labor and
sacrifice, trained himself to speak,
minus the vocal chorda.
Amazing Results
The results are amazing His
pronounciation is excellent, al
though it is accompliahed under an
obvious strain. A sound amplifying
system furnishes the speech vol
ume destroyed by the maUgnancy,
