But 1t does mean there Is q
raise. If the Federal employe
unions are willing to scale down
their demands and the admins
|tration wants to get its much
desired postal rate increase en-
acted into law.
There are several reasons for
the somewhat brighter Federal
pay raise picture.
When Congress convened in
January. the economy fever was
running high. 1t still is, but
living costs have increased with
out letup for the last seven
months and the end is not in
sight. This has convinced many
members Of Congress of the
justice Of a Federal pay raise.
Also. Postmaster General Sum-
merfield and the administration
are extremely anxious to get q
postal rate increase enacted into
law. They feel that it is now
or never this year.
To obtain the postal rate in
crease. the administration may
abandon its outright opposition
to Federal pay raises and agree
to a modest increase of perhaps
z or 8 per cent. For 1t is becom-
ing increasingly obvious that
Chairman Johnston of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee and
other key Democrats in Congress
will not allow the postal rate in
crease bill to go through unless
10 Federal pay increase is also
attached to the rate increase
measure.
Another factor is the number
OF impartial pay studies made by
special groups, such as the
Cordiner Committee and the
postal pay advisory group, COM
posed in the main of top indus
trialists and businessmen. These
committees have recommended
Federal pay raises. declaring that
Government salaries are tagging
considerably behind industry
These reports have had consid-
cradle impact on the thinking of
Congress in regard to Federal
pay.
Meanwhile. three Republican
Of the House Civil
Service Committee, have written
to Chairman Murray asking him
to begin pay raise hearings. They
are Representatives Cretella of
Connecticut. Broyhill Of Vir-
Iginia and Corbett Of Pennsyl-
vania.
And l13 House members have
thus far attached their sigma
lures to the petitions to dis
charge the postal pay bill from
the House Civil Service Commit
tee. A total Of 2ls signatures are
needed.

LIBRARY IN MANTEO IS
PAID VISIT BY AUTHORS

Phoebe Erickson, writer of chill
dren's stories under this penname
and winner of the 1856 William
Allen White award for the most
popular, book for children, paid a
visit to the Dare Library last week.
She and her husband, who accom-
panied her, complimented the Ii
brary on its extensive art collec-
ton and its excellent selection of
reference material! The community,
too, received its share of praise
for the order and cleanliness of the
homes and highways and particu-
larly for the friendliness of the
people. So impressed were they,
that MIR. and Mrs. Blair feel that
they may have found the ideal spot
for an escape from the rigors of
Vermont winters. Before leaving,
Mrs. Blair wrote a flattering trib-
ute to the library in its copy of
her book, "Black Penny" signing
it with her penname.
Another autographed book is
"Windward Passage" which was
presented to the library by Hamil-
ton Cochran, guest author of the
library on April Is. This is now
ready for circulation along with
the biography of John Muir, the
founder of our national parks, one
detective, and two novels, "Anne
Boleyn" and "The Believers. "
"Anne Boleyn", is, of course, the
story of the most fascinating of
Henry WIS wives; "The Be-
levers" is another of Janice Giles
historical novels of Kentucky, with
interest centered on Shaker beliefs
and ways.
For parents harassed by the
problem of keeping young fry busy
or a sick child amused, there are
endless suggestions in "McCalPs
Giant Bake-It Book" Hopeless, in
deed, is the child that would not
be intrigued by at least several OF
these handicrafts.
Next Wednesday, May %, the
bookmobile will go to Wanchese. 1t
will visit the school and stop at
Davis store from 1890 to HOO.
The library invites anyone in the
county DESTROYS of bookmobile
service to write a card or to tele-
phone requesting that the book
mobile stop.
For the rest of May, the library
will stay open on Monday eve
nings only until z pm. Beginning
with June, it will close every day
at 5 o'clock. This move has been
necessitated by the pressure OF
work and the absence of the IL
brarian for a six weeks summer
course during June and part OF
, July.

she has been proving it from her
homeland to Greensboro, where
she and her husband, Robert w.
Wechter, and their thirteen-year-
old daughter, Marcia, now live. Not
content with teaching, keeping
house, and writing. Nell Wise
Wechter went back to school for a
BIS. degree in 1851 and an MA. in
1862. And now both she and her
husband are working on their
Ph.D's.
Mrs. Wechter has done feature
writing for many newspapers both
in North Carolina and in other
states. One year she taught four
grades and helped to edit a weekly
newspaper on Saturdays besides.
During the past years she has been
the recipient of many writing
awards. In 1850 she received a
Freedoms Foundation award for a
project she wrote about. Because
of this school project, her little
elementary school at Stumpy Point
received a $500 library. In 1866
and 1866, after moving to GreeQs-
boro, she received writing prizes in
the Guilford Fine Arts Festival.
In 1856 she also received the
Franklin McNutt Award in the
City of Greensboro for her out
standing essay on how she uses
her science teaching to advance
the American Way of Life. And
in 1857 she won national recogni-
ton for an essay on the American
Way of Life. She was awarded one
of the three teachers medals Civ
en- in North Carolina.
When the Coastland Times was
founded in 1885, Mrs. Wechter
helped it get a start by several
weeks of hard work in the circu-
lation field, and many of her stor-
les have appeared in the Dare and
Hyde county papers.

Taffy is a true-to-life adventure
