Duke And Her Team
It looks like Duke University has a real football
team this year. The two games that she has played
proved that the players had something that would be
hard to beat. Os course these two teams were not as
strong as some that Duke will meet this year but they
were strong enough to test out the Duke boys and show
whether they knew much about football or not. This
Saturday will find Duke playing the Pre-Flight boys
from Carolina. Duke should also win this game. The
Pre-Flighters have a good team but it is evident that
they do not have the team that they had last year and
will not win the games that were won last year.
The University of North Carolina has a better team
than the Pre-Flight and since Duke plays this team
twice this season we may get some good thrills before
the season is over.
On the other hand all of this may be just talk and
Duke could flop during the first real test. As matters
now stand we have an idea that Duke could easily go
through the season undefeated. Only time will tell
about any football team.

1,029 books for adults and fifty
children’s bofks, jnow has 8,000
plus in ddult books and more
- than two thousand for children.”
Having praise for progress of
library work here and for the in
fluence which can be exerted by
a Council of Social agencies, Miss
Grafton at the same time spoke
of post-war plans for library ex
pansion here. “The good librar
ian”, she said, “must have the
first requirement of knowing
what book is right for what peo
ple or what community.”
Libraries, in her opinion,
should assemble and preserve
books in organized collections,
not for the sake of making col
lections but to stimulate and
guide readers so that children,
young people and adults may
have opportunity and encourage
ment to educate themselves con
tinously and keep abreast of pro
gress in the sciences and other
fields of knowledge, keeping
their precious heritage of free
dom of expression and a con
structively critical attitude to
ward all public issues.
Immediately after the lunch
eon, Miss Grafton who came
from Yanceyville for the meet
ing, joined Mrs. E. P. Warren
and W. H. Gentry, Person Li
brary Board members, on the
Bookmobile which was in the
Bond Auction parade. Also on
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1943
the Bookmobile, together with a
number of children, were Mrs. A.
B. Buchanan, driver, Mrs. Mar.

Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Wehrenberg.
