Library Serves Many Purposes
The high school lib
rary provides one of the most
Important services of the
school. It is a busy workshop
where Industrious students
are forever seeking knowled
ge. Becky Ray, Connie Craig,
and BUlia Moore are shown
at the bullendn board In the
Murphy High School Library.
For hundreds of years, lib
raries were used solely to
keep books. Today there is
an entirely differentinwrpre
tadon of a library. Its' pur
pose Is to get the books Into
the hinds of the dudIIs.
Murphy High School Library
serves MO pupils, who are
allowed to coma to the lib
rary to browse, check out
books, and reed current mag
azines, during their home
room period. The circulation
averages 17,000 books for (he
nine-months period. The pre
sent collection la 4,400 vol
umes. Many of theae have
bean given as memorials th
rough the Memorial Book
Fund. The Increased budget
the state has allotted has been
very beneficial in securing
many worthwhile books that
otherwise could not have been
purchased. The need la still
critical, however. Many of the ?
hooka In the collection are <
badly wont and many are ob
90lew and need replacing with
current malarial.
Someone has said, "The
library la die memory of the
human race. It la like a
giant brain that remembers
all that rdentlata, historians,
poets, philosophers and others
have thought and learned. It
la the meeting place for Ideas
and words of persona who have
Influenced the world."(Scout
Phots)
Letter To
The Editor
The Editor:
In reply to the speech made
by Judge Herman Edwards at
die Cherokee Comty Dem
ocratic Bar-B-Cue, Judge
Edwards staled that "the big
gest mistake any citizen can
make Is to support the Rep
ublican party. A Republican
can do nothing for you In
Ralalgh or Washington or any
other place." He than pro
ceeded a explain that the De
mocrats ware responsible for
Improvement made in Chero
kee County for the past several
/ears. I do not live (n Chero
kee County but It Is my guess
that a great deal of the pro
gress mads has been made
with Republican money. This
Is certainly true In my cotnty
of Qay since a majority of
lbs tax money la paid by
Republicans.
As to his statement that
dm Republican party can do
nothing for the citizens of our
state, we challenge the lnte
Bty of a Municipal Court
Ige who would be so narrow
minded as a make such a
statement. Any Republican
would hesitate to be tried
?dsr the Jurisdiction of Mr.
Edwards, feeling that he would
not he granted Justice.
Mr. Edwards leaves thelm
presslon that he might even
?import a Communist In our
Government Just as long as
ha bora dm Democratic label.
Bo * want people to repre
sent us who show so Uttle
regard for the American way
of life founded on the two
party ayaam? Anyone who la
hroad-minded and has the wel
ter, of the people hem
snows that wa must have a
b"? Party system - one to
cfcec* n? dt other a keep
corngrtoo and dishonesty?
a minimal.
I suspect that Judge Ed
ward's words will reverberate
In more way, than one. And,
J? P*?? nodes that
foe Republican party Is sharp
?njng la political tools to per
J? " operation In
November on this Democratic
treodof thought.

New Funds
For FHA Are
Available
WASHINGTON -Congress
man Roy A. Taylor said here
Friday that the government's
release of $152,000,000 In new
funds for Farmers Home Ad
ministration loans will serve
to stimulate the economy of
Western N JC.
Rep. Taylor, who last week
asked the Budget Bureau to
consider releasing extra
money for the FHA program,
said $11,000,000 of the all
otment will be used to pro
cess loans in NjC.
"Dozens of applications for
needed FHA loiuia have been
submitted by rural families
In our moiaitaln counties,"
declared Taylor.
The congressman said he
had received assurance from
the FHA administrator In
Washington that all applica
tions from North Carolinians
which have been ^proved and
fully processed, but delayed
for lack of funds, will now be
filled.
"Most of these loan ^jp
licadons are from rural
counties not served by sav
ings and loan associations or
other lending agendas," said
Taylor.
In these com ties, con
struction has baen prevented
because of the FHA's lack
of funds, he said.
The government's action to
day will bs a definite boost
to our economy," he said.
