In addition to the PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, the library is now subscribing to the Elizabeth City DAILY ADVANCE, the RALEIGH NEWS AND OBSERVER, and the NORFOLK VIRGINIAN-PILOT. Back issues will be kept for at least one month. The new magazines have been selected for their general appeal and value to public library users, but additions and deletions wiD probably be made later based on actual popularity. Adults may check out magazines for two weeks, just like books, except for the latest copies which must re main in the library. Magazines are not checked out directly to children and students. We do have a small stack of duplicate and sample magazines which are available to anyone who needs cut-out pictures for school or club projects. - ; The magazines fall into several categories (with some overlap), including; CHILDREN: Ebony Jr., EUctric Com pany, Sesame Street, WeeWisdom. TEENAGE: Boy's Life, American Girl, Hot Rod, Road and Track, Seventeen. WOMEN: American Home, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Ladies Home Journal, McCalls, Working Woman, Southern Living. CONSUMER: Changing Times, Consumer Reports, Consumer's Research. SPORTS: Sports Illustrated, Field and Stream, National Wildlife. BLACK: Ebony, Ebony Jr. COMMERCE : Business Week, Farm Journal NEWS: Newsweek, Time, U.S. News. TRAVEL: National Geographic, Horizon, Holiday, New East. Using Old Magazines: Because the information found in magazines is often more current than material in books on the same subject, libraries try to maintain backfiles of magazines that may prove useful for adults needing con sumer information or project instructions and for students needing term paper research sources. By using the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature, we can locate ar ticles on any subject or person in about two-thirds of our magazines by month, year, and page. However, at this time, the library is maintaining the stan dard five-year files for a few magazines: Time, Newsweek, U.S. News, Reader's Digest, National Geographic, and Sports Illustrated. xct': 'V- J' ' ' Back Issues Sought: Although microfilm copies of back issues are available from the regional library by mall, this sometimes does not provide the material fast enough, so we are seeking your help in building up our back issue files. If you have back issues of any of our new magazines that you don't want or need, we might be able to put them to good use. Call or come in and tell us roughly what you have and if we don't have them, we'll be glad to put them in the library -where they can be used, We will pick them up if necessary and will do all the necessary sorting and processing. At the same time, let us know what other magazines you think we should subscribe to. - ; Story Hour: The Friday morning story hour for pre school children will be held as usual from 10-11 a.m. for the remainder of the school year.

Status reports on renoca tion of Perquimans High School cafeteria and the ac quisition of property adja cent to the school were given. Reorganization was discussed at length. The board has planned meetings with school faculties to be followed by meetings, in the community to discuss this topic. A proposed plan is be ing considered and is in the discussion phase with no ac tion in the near future plan ned. The proposal would place students in grades kingergarten through se cond at Perquimans Central School; grades three through five at Hertford Grammar School; and grades six through eight at Perquimans Union School. The proposal would leave Perquimans High as it is, housing grades nine through twelve. This reorganization question is being con sidered, according to Superintendent Pat Harrell, in an effort to place students of a nearer age span and developmental together. He added that this is in no way definite and will continue to . be discussed. : - Reports were heard on Legislative Day in Raleigh recently attended by Harrell and board members Clifford Winslow and George Baker. Discussion was also heard concerning the need for bar riers at Perquimans Union School to discourage after school traffic on the school grounds. ml I ; .X, , ' ' ' r ift BY-GONE ERA As stately as the tree by which it stands is this gasoline pump representative of a by-gone era when fuel supply was plentiful. The problem, however, was in get ting the price of a gallon, which ranged upward to as much as 16 cents. The clear-glass tank with numerals starting with zero at the top and dropping to ten was filled by hand pumping. (Oh, what price glory.) No longer in use, the pump maintains its stand on the L.H.
