SHERIFF WINSLOW BUYS OLD
BUTLER HOME: Sheriff J. Emmett has
contracted to buy the home of the late
Reverend A.A. Butler on Church Street.

year ago; Mrs. Butler has been living in
Florida. The Sheriff intends to have some
remodeling and repairing done and to
move in. The house is one of the largest
private dwellings in town and is located in
one of the most fashionable sections. A
house of many gables, it is distinctive
because of the odd decorative scheme of
the gables, an attractive "broken bottle"
design.

Letters To The Editor
To The Editor:
I am deeply concerned about the garbage being dumped
on our streets daily and nobody doing anything about it.
Sanitation: This department of human knowledge which
regards the laws of the human body and preservation of
health.
The art of preventing disease is worth a pound of cure in
other words, it is an act to prevent disease. Hertford needs
dedicated leaders. The laws in our communities need to be
enforced and put an end to law breakers for once and for
all.
Garbage on our streets determines the society in which
we live. Those who are in authority need to stand up and
speak up and go where the action is.

REVISING THE RULES
? An interesting ei
perience of "Group Think"
will take place in Burl
ington this week. The
method by which State Aid
to Public Librarie* is
distributed has been under
review for several months.
All public library directors
have been requested to sub
mit suggestions for revision
of the rules and regulations.
And now, all the directors
are meeting in Burlington
to consider, jointly, all of
the suggestions that have
been made.
The preparation for this
meeting has been master
ful, with enough time
allowed for careful con
sideration of the many fac
tors involved. The directors
have been divided into five
categories, depending on
the size and type of the
library system they serve.
The most common unit for
service is the county. The
fifty-one county library
systems have been sorted
into three size ranges ?
those serving populations of
100,000 and more, those ser
ving populations of 50,000
and less, and the ones in
between. Independent
municipal libraries which
are not a part of any county
system form the fourth
category.
The most cohesive group
of public librarians in the
state are the fifteen
regional library directors
who form the fifth
category. We have been
meeting together regularly
for several years and have
spent many hours for
mulating our suggestions
for changing the rules. It
will be interesting to see
whether our ideas differ
substantially from those of
fered by the county and city
librarians.
The agenda for the
meeting calls for a struc
tured, methodical discus
sion of all suggestions. Part

The South's population
is the fastest-growing
in the U.S.
And Southern Railway
is growing right along
Not only is the South the with it. railroads will get an increase
fastest-growing area in the in freight volume of 143% by
U S it's one of the seven fastest-growing areas in
the world And one of the biggest reasons is that
industry is flocking to the South
Needless to say we at Southern Railway are
happy about all this because each time the South
grows we grow too
After all who do you think carries the raw
materials to these new plants9 And their finished
goods to market7 In large measure we do
And as the South s population grows who
do you think brings the things these people
need9 The cars the carpets the appliances, the
clothing, the sporting goods and the food9
Largely, we do
But. we re not growing iust to keep up with
the ever-increasing population Were growing
to be prepared for an even bigger South of the
future
According tothetederal government the
1990 And the railroad s share of market will go
up by a btg 24%.
Will we get the lion s share of these increases
when they come'' Maybe But whatever happens,
we re getting ready for them by expanding right
now Were putting In a new $40 million freight clas

to our microwave communication system, which
is already the largest m the South And we re laying
double track whereone used to be enough to

So. even though we re growing right along
with you. we re also growing ahead of you

of the time will be spent
with small groups and the
rest in general sessions.
State Librarian David
McKay called for this
meeting and the response is
expected to be 100 percent
attendance. If nothing else,
it will certainly be a chance
for McKay to discover how
we all feel.
Since I am leaving the
state of North Carolina at
the end of this month to
assume a similar position
in a much larger system in
Florida, I should be able to
take a detached view and
think in terms of what is
best for the entire public
library system in the state.
In fact, although I will try
for that ideal frame of
mind, I confess to a genuine
bias in favor of regional
libraries since I firmly
believe that only through
cooperation between
neighboring units of
government can good
library service be provided
in sparsely-populated
areas.

A message to the young
How easy it is to
become addicted. Any
one taking opiates regu
larly for a few weeks can
become hooked. "I just
tried it for the kicks,"
somehow turns into,
"The kick keeps coming
back."
Once addicted, stop
ping the drug provokes
withdrawal sickness of
up to 70 hours after the
last hit. Then, staying
clean becomes a con
stant battle.
Disease, accident, hom
icide, or suicide stare
the addict in the face,
continually propelled by
the constant battle to
avoid withdrawal. An
addict's life is deplor
able. Its consequences
are tragic! Stay clear
and stay clean and stay
alive. ^ .
