HOSPITAL BOARD
 ASKS ADVICE ON
 S6,O0) ESC DEBT

A resolution asking guidance on Employment Security tax pay ments by Palmer's hospital will De presented to the Valley Hos pital Association members at their annual meeting February Is, according to A. H. Mick, as sociation president.
 The Associations board points out that of the $19,600 owed by he hospital at the end of 1857, nearly $6,O0O was in claims by the Employment Security Com mission. It was hoped that relief might be granted by the 1857 Legislature. The labor lobby eff Actively blocked this relief, the Board pointed out. The question now is, who should be paid first, Palmer's businesses or ESC?
 Other major hospital creditors are the Matanuska Electric Asso- citation ($6,262), which last March granted rate reductions in the hope of easing the hospitals op- erational problems, and the City of Palmer (water bill, $2,78D- The City Council has exercised great understanding and patience in not pressing its claims, the board said. The remaining indebt- edness, which amounts to about S4,600 is owed to some 28 sup pliers, 10 of whom are Palmer businesses.

"A 40-footer was dispatched from
Tilghman Island, and the maynard

That same afternoon, an 1S-foot

Ed said it would probably be
worthwhile to experiment with
set-trawls (winged beam-trawls
set acrosstide) at varying depths
to see what the channel tides
brought into them. Mack said in
some places they'd get together
and do some pioneering. He re-
ferred to the pungent comparisons
made by Bonnard Hurdle about
Ocean City and Hatteras party
boat methods versus local atti-
tudes-Bonnard always ends such
comparisons with :. them people
explored"
This correspondent volunteered
that to wait and observe success
before trying new methods was
characteristic of the Eastern Shore
of Virginia-like the times years
ago, when the eel grass was here
and alive with scallops which ev-
erybody said was pretty but that
was all; and ole man G. Martin
came over from Bull Island and
started shocking the things and
made a solid fortune, for awhile.
Mate Edison said &C.. DID ?" and
Mack said that usually reporters
asked questions and got answers
and it was right discouraging to be
interviewed by somebody that
seemed to want to do both.

SUMMER STORY HOURS
AT LIBRARY TO CLOSE
Sessions For SO Age Group To Be
Resumed September

The Dare County Library will
close for Labor Day. The end of
summer brings also the close of
the two story hours conducted
weekly during June, July, and
August. Friday of this week will
be the last meeting of the first
summer reading program in sew
eral years. So gratifying are the
results to all concerned-children,
parents, and librarians-that the
library hopes to make this regu-
lar feature of the summer activi-
ties.
The 9 to IL age group, both boys
and girls, gathered with their
leaders, Jeanetta Overcast of the
library staff, and Patty Gibbs, a
volunteer assistant, around the
kitchen table of the Community
Building, since space in the libra
nv is limited. Here the group
talked about books read during the
week, recommended favorites,
played games, and enjoyed refresh
ments. Gail Brown and Nevin Wes-
colt added interest to the hour
when they displayed their hobbies.
Many of this group kept records
and comments on the books read
to show to their teachers when
school reopens.
Marjorie Gray, clerical employee
for the summer, held her story
hour for the younger children, age
5 to 8, in the Children's Room.
When temperatures scared, they
obtained permission to meet on the
Baptist Church lawn. This proved
a delightful arrangement, and the
Library staff is grateful for the
cooperation of the church.
Children say the storyhour was
fun; parents say that it filled a
need. especially for the pre-schooi
child; and the following statistics
prove it's popularity:
Total enrollment-68; average
attendance-21; number of written
revieWs-109; circulation of juve-
nile books for the three months
5000.
Though this special reading pro-
gram ends on Friday, the story
hour for the 60 year Odds which
has been held regularly through
the school year will reopen on
Friday, September 26. More infor-
nation about this children's activi-
ty will be given at a later date.
