hi. Page 2-Tlw Perquimans Weekly, Taking A Look Backward OCT. 1938 ; By VIRGINIA WHITE '. ' TRANSEAU I POSSIBILITY LOOMS TO ORGANIZE LEGION POST 'IN HERTFORD: With the .list of ex-servicemen now 'standing : at sixty-three names, B.C. Berry believes the file covers less than .two-thirds of the veterans in 'Perquimans County. The motive of this campaign, in iauguarated by three local men, B.C. Berry, J.E. Winslow and C.F. Sumner jr., is to get the discharges recorded in the courthouse so that an available list will :be on hand when it is needed. It has been sug gested that a complete ; rostrum of ex-servicemen may lead to the organization of an American Legion Post here.

The marker, donated by the North Carolina Granite Corporation, is made of the same Mt. Airy white granite used to build the Wright Memorial at Kit ty Hawk. Etched on the triangular shaped tower is a depiction of the Wright Memorial with a caption capsuling the events of man's first powered flight at Kitty . Hawk on December 17, 1903. The historic statement of Neil Armstrong, as he step ped upon the moon, flanks the Wright monument pic ture: "One small step for . man; one giant leap for mankind." On the north side of the marker is a statement by ' Lacy S. Vernon, president of the North Carolina Granite Corporation: "The North Carolina Granite Corpora tion, home of the world's largest open face granite quarry, donates this granite to a state with a history of integrity and sound ; political philosophy, well en- ' dowed with humanitarian , pursuits." ! Participating in the ' , unveiling were President ' Vernon, Governor James E. Holshouser, Secretary of State Thad Jure, , Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham and Fair . Manager, Art Pitzer. The four-ton, ten foot granite structure is located at the east end of the fairgrounds in front of the Scott Building. Look at your attitude toward aging. Get off your rocker.

Roberson, president; Mrs. W.E. White, secretary; and Miss Kate M. Blanchard, treasurer; about a year ago. One of the earliest projects was to have been the restoration of the old Harvey Burying Ground near Belgrade Farm. At first it was thought ad visable to move the graves THE Oy By NELLIE M. SANDERS Director, Pettigrew Regional Library HOOTS ' BOOKMOBILES IN SPOTLIGHT The unsung heroes in the library world are the intrepid souls who pilot the vehicles full of books 'n' things called bookmobiles. But their day of recognition is at hand. For once, there is a . special conference devoted to the subject of Bookmobiles being held in Burlington this week. .The Pettigrew Regional Library, now composed of Chowan, Perquimans, Tyrrell and Washington counties, is sending two members of the bookmobile crew to learn from as well as contribute to this workshop. Manufacturers' " representatives from firms which build bookmobiles will be -there to try to explain why they are so trouble-prone. Many libraries are sending their vehicles to put on display. We chose not to press our luck since we have trouble keeping our vehicle running on our rural roads and the bookmobile librarians did not relish the idea of an across-the-state trip in the bookmobile. The job of bookmobile librarian requires a unique blend of abilities. The person must be a good driver, must possess patience, must genuinely like people of all kinds, must be conscientious and trustworthy as well as self-motivated since close supervision is not possible, and on top of all that, should be knowledgeable about books and authors. It also helps if the person is methodical and neat since the work space is somewhat cramped. We are fortunate in the Pet tigrew Region to have found such a paragon Pearl Furlough, who is an inspiration to her co-worker Minnie Mae Snell as well as her patrons. It is with pride that the . Pettigrew Regional Library sends them to this gathering of their co-horts from all over the state. SCREECHES LEGISLATIVE WORKSHOP - The newer librarians in , the profession have a section of the American Library Association called the Junior Members Round Table ( JMRT) and it is usually the liveliest group at any national meeting. The North Carolina chapter recently held a very ambitious workshop with "How to Communicate With Politicians" as their theme and they were kind enough to in vite the not-so-new librarians to attend as well. I have nothing but praise for the line-up of speakers pro vided. Mary Eileen Bieler (the Children's Services Coor dinator for the Pettigrew Regional Library and a member of ( JMRT)4nd members from the State Library were pre sent, including Bill O'Shea, Legislative chairman for the North Carolina Library Association. We were privileged tojf hear our Washington office director, Eileen Cooke, who is reputed to leave the American Library Association's head quarters in the District of Columbia maybe twice a year. Les Roark, a member of Senator Robert Morgan's staff, gave some very down-to-earth advice. And Carl Stewart, ' candidate for Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, made us laugh as well as think with his practical views. I was sadly disillusioned, however, about the young librarians' idea of fun. Although we were staying at the . Howard Johnson high-rise in Greensboro which boasts an indoor pool, a sauna and a gym, I was almost the only one who went swimming, took a sauna or used the gym. Instead of a night on the town with dancing and live entertainment, most of the participants opted for a quiet dinner at the beautiful (but staid) City Club with non-stop conversation mostly about libraries! Senior Citizens Hold Meeting The Perquiman's County Senior Citizens Club met Oct. 18 at the county office building on Highway 17. Twenty-nine members and guests were present. Mr. and Mrs. Stan McKae, Mrs. Lin a Caddy, Mrs. Nena Russell, Mrs. Daisy Eure, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Schofield and Lyman Clark were welcomed as new members.
