The Perquimans County Li
brary Board is pleased to report
three cash contributiofts received
since the close of its drive for
funds. These came from Mr. and
Mrs. Lonnie Proctor of Perquim
ans County and Miss Esther Ev
ans of Durham.
Two memorial books have been
given to the library recently. The
Saturday Evening Post Treasury,
given by Miss Helene Nixon and
A Treasury of Contemporary
Homes, given by Dr. and Mrs. t.
P. Brinn.-
The Library Board is pleased
at the -continued growth of inter
est in the library and the services
it offers.
Of special interest to borrow
ers who need highly technical
books or other books not usually
available in a small library is the
establishment of a statewide inter-library
center at the Univer
sity of North Carolina. Through
the cooperation of the State Li
brary, the libraries of Woman's
College of UNC, State College and
Duke University, .the Inter-library
Center will serve all in
dividuals .throughout the state.
The Center asks that requests for
any type of reading material be
made by individuals through the
local public library which in turn
will obtain the material from one
of the libraries of the Interli
brary Center. This plan replaces
the old Extension Service of the
Uni. Library, and is regarded as
another milestone in statewide
library service and growth and
will encourage greater uses of
all library resources thrqughout
North Carolina. The Perquimans
County Library has already re
ceived several requests for ooks
that have been quickly obtained
from the Inter-library Center.

It
A county-wide safety cam
paign, built around a series of
contests, to promote safety
among the children of Perquim
ans County will be launched
here beginning Monday, May 5,
under the sponsorship of the
Perquimans Business and Pro
fessional Women's Club with the
Health and Safety Committee in
charge of arrangements.
The campaign, according to
Mrs. Roxanna C. Jackson, chair
man, and Mrs. Emily T. Harrell,
co-chairman, - -will open when
students at all schools in the
county will witness a film on
safety. Talks will be made by
Mrs. J. R. Futrell, field repre
scntative for the State Highway
Safety Division, a patrolman and
club members.
The club will offer prizes to
the thigh school students fbr the
best composition on y"jhy : i
Think Every HigrT School Stuh

Training Course";' to the Prim
ary and Grammar grades for
posters on safety for 'home,
school, bicycle; pedestrian or
highway. The posters and com
positions must be in the hands
of the teaqhers '.'not .''.later than
May 2, in order that they may
be compiled for the out-of-town
judges. Separate prizes will be
offered for the above contests
to white and Negro children.
The club feels that a safety
campaign of this kind is im
portant due to the fact that
there is a tendency toward
recklessness on the part of young
drivers of automobiles that in
surance companies charge con
siderably , higher rates for lia
bility insurance, on an automo
bile driven by, a person under 25
years of age. , . -. ' '
The club is raising money for
safety signs to be erected at the
entrances to the" Town of Hert
