ON 23RD BIRTHDAY
DARE co. LIBRARY
HAS 1920 BOOKS
A Great Record is Reviewed By
An ApPreeiafive Citizen
Who Has Chosen This
For Home

Today, March IA, 1868, is the
twenty-third birthday of the Dare
County Library. When the Library
opened on March IA, 1885, it con-
sisted of fourteen books. The origi-
nal idea, the planning and the
actual starting of the library was
due to the foresightedness of the
Manteo Woman's Club, even the
original fourteen books were given
by members of the club.
So great was the enthusiasm
over the library that books began
to pour in from friends of the is
land and the Outer Banks. One
man gave his private library, 357
standard works and reference
books. The Newark Public Library
sent 638 in two lots. Small gifts
ran from Is to 80 books, and the
Manteo Woman's Club added more
to their original IA. AK
The first years were struggle
for the library, there was no money
to buy certain books that wet
really needed, and the small salary
paid the librarian was made pos
sible only by money donated. The,
for awhile there was assistance
from the W.P.A. for salaries

became available, and the Dare
County Library was moved int
the recently completed Communit!
Building. BY this time the librar!
had about $500 books.
During World War II the Ii
brary did much more than pass ou
books over the desk. It was al
ready lending books in lots to twt
! towns and six schools, now it add

S. Infantry Company, a CAP. Pa

PRESSURE ON BILL FORMANt !.
BY ATLANTIC TWP VOTERS

Bill Forman, Kill Devil Hills
businessman, who was urged so
strongly to be a candidate for
County. Commissioner two years
ago from Atlantic Township, is
having pressure brought on him
to seek this office this year. Some
people who have no particular
complaint against the incumbent
Hallett Perry, don't like the COM
pany he is in, and say they want
change. Mr.. Perry however, says
he expects to be candidate, and
that those who claim he once said
he wouldn't run are in error.
Mr.. Forman, who formerly ran
a store in Kitty Hawk is now en-
gagged in real estate and other
business at Kill Devil Hills. He is
family man, has been successful
in business and had the advantage
of college training and courses in
business administration. While in
Kitty Hawk, he served as head of
the PTA and was active in COM
munity affairs.
Mr.. Perry, before taking office
as Commissioner in December of
1856, had previously served two
terms on the Board. He has main
tanned a record of opposing the
expenditure of money and was the
only candidate on the Board who
opposed handing out $4,000 to
some New Jersey men to re-value
the property in Dare County this
wear.

A Strange Story
Back in the Old Testament there
Is a strange incident about an old
man and a young boy, Eli and
Samuel. The old man was high
priest, the boy was only helper
around the shrine. Yet one morn
ing the boy came to the man and
gave him terrible message,
message which, he said, God had
told him to take to the old man
Eli. 1t was one of the most horri-
flying predictions that could come
to man. Yet after Eli had heard
what the boy Samuel had to say,
the old priests only comment was:
at is the Lord; let him do what
seems good to him" Now. per-
haps we can get some light on our
problem, if we inquire, How did
Eli know that Samuel's voice was
genuinely a voice for God?

like Samuel. It was not the kind
of thing Samuel would have liked
to say. Eli was his oldest and best
friend, he was Gas we would say
his boss. A word from Eli and
young Samuel would have had TO
go home TO his mother. Saying
what Samuel did (the whole story
is in the Bible material for this
week., was likely to lose him an
old friend and to risk his position
and future. Further, it was most
certainly not what Eli wanted to
hear. 1t was not by any means a
comforting, encouraging message.
There are people who claim that
God" is only a name for the pro-
lection of our wishes; a great loud
echo in the sky. echoing our dear
est desires. Not at all The true
God is no echo. Even a lazy in
competent man like Eli (for priest
though he was, he was a mighty
poor one) knew better than that.
In the Middle OF Conscience
In the second place. Eli knew
that SamuePs voice was a voice
for God, because it hurt him in a
sensitive spot, namely right in the
middle of his conscience. Now per-
sons without a conscience, or
conscience scared by sin, or twist
ed and half-demented, have not
this way of knowing. But Eli had
still, we may believe, some gen
uine spark of conscience in him,
though he had poured the cold
water of Indifference on it these
many years. This voice tina. came
to him in SamuePs boyish treble
was still true voice for God, be-
cause it told him what, deep down.
he knew was the truth. He had
been doing wrong. He who was ex-
pected to be spiritual leader Of his
people had been Giterally) asleep
on his job. He knew he deserved
no good from God. And when Sam
uel told him so, Eli knew that
Samuel was a voice for God
Voice for God and Voice Of God
A third point is this: The voice
for God, any true voice for him,
does not contradict the voice of
God. Now Eli did not have our
Bible; but he did have some Of
the early part Of it. He had some
knowledge of the Law of God as
it had come to his forefathers in
the Ten Commandments. What
Samuel told him was exactly in
line with what Eli must have I'M
derstood to be the genuine voice
of God. We today have much
fuller and clearer revelation than
Eli had, in our Holy Bible. AS a
New Testament writer puts it. God
in these days has spoken to us by
his Son. Any voice. claiming TO be
for Goo, that contradicts what we
know of God in Jesus Christ. we
can ignore; for we can be sure it
is the voice of a faker
