Saith Congress- second session. Any
tax reduction program submitted
to the Congress must be evaluated
in the light of our domestic prob
lens and the international situa-
ton. Party leaders will be under
tremendous pressure to guide
through Congress Legislation that
will result in a reduction in the
nations tax burden. The tendency
will be to ignore budget deficits.
Rigid economic law as it operates
in our individual homes tells us
to reduce our debts at those periods
when our incomes are at their
highest. The same law should APP
ply to our government But even
a booming economy is unlikely to
produce enough revenue to permit
programs providing for new high
way construction and at the same
time reduce taxes, let alone pro-
vide the sums needed for national
defense and fighting an economic
Cold War
It seems to me that responsible
leadership in the Congress must
of necessity give the plain I'M

The Presidents report to the

To help assess developments in
The current session I would like to
point out two important factors.
First on the domestic front eco

good and 1856 is likely to be at

the international front we are wit
Messing a resurgence of the Cold

LIBRARY CALCULATES 11,775
BOOKS DURING PAST YEAR

Columbia.-June 80, 1856, mark
ed the end of another fiscal year
in the history of the Tyrrell Coun-
ty Public Library. 1t has been a
successful year, and one which has
given the library board, director
and staff a feeling of deep graft
fication, and at the same time a
greater incentive to work harder
for more future accomplishments
that the citizens and especially the
boys and girls-citizens of tomor-
row-may have a fuller life by
way of better opportunities provid-
ed by the efforts of those living
in the present age.
One very important milestone on
the road to progress was reached
when on Oct. /, 1855, Tyrrell Coun-
ty joined with Washington and
Chowan counties in forming the
Pettigrew Regional Library. The
Regional Library works as one big
unit, with one large purpose in
mind-that of expansion of every
phase of library services in the
three counties included. The IL
braries of Washington and Chow
an counties are at the disposal of
Tyrrell County, and Tyrrell's is at
their disposal.
The two bookmobiles are operat-
ed by Mrs. Bryan Harris of Roper,
and Mrs. Verde Alexander of Co
lumbia.
The circulation of books through
bookmobile service has been an all
time high.
11,775 different books (no re-
turned circulation have been cir
~culated from the main library dur
ing the past year.
148 reference questions were an
swered in the library during the
year, and 128 new patrons were
added to the list of borrowers.
All holidays were observed by
the library by use of posters and
special displays. National book
week was observed in November.
Many persons visited the library
that week for the first time. The
national theme, Reading More and
Better Books" was used.
A tea was given to the county
commissioners and the library
board of trustees by the staff, to
afford better acquaintance.

STUPID DEMANDS
OF POWELL KILLED
THE SCHOOL BILL
BY BILL WHITLEY

Washington, ID. G. - In recent
days there has been quite a bit of
discussion in Washington about the
devices that were used to kill the
Federal aid for education bill in
this session of Congress.
1t is generally agreed that if the
Powell Amendment, which would
have denied funds to states that
operate segregated schools, hadn't
been added to the bill, it would
have become law.
Many of those who feel that the
one important job to do is build
schools where they are needed
were deeply disappointed that the
bill was killed because of side
issue-in fact, an issue that has
nothing to do with the need for
clasSrooms.
1t was also interesting to note
