HALLETT PERRY JUSTIFIES
POSITION AS COMMISSIONERS

To The Editor:
This is an answer to the "dis-
gusted taxpayer" of Kitty Hawk.
AS far as l know, it has been
the policy of the County Commits
sioners to appoint the same tax
listers each year. My mother was
tax lister before l retired from
the u. S. Coast Guard. If that is
greed, / am guilty.
After the resignation of my
mother, my brothers wife applied
for the job. She was the only one
that had applied for the job.
thought she was capable of doing
the work, and / appointed her. !
take the full responsibility of the
appointment. If that is greed, !
am guilty.
AS to the appointment of my
brother on the Dare County A.B.C.
Board, it was a surprise to me
when his name was presented to
the Board of County Commission
ers. l did not know he was being
considered for the job. AS soon as
his name was presented to the
Board of County Commissioners, l
made a statement as follows: II
don't think he should serve on the
A.B.C. Board because my father
is renting a building to the A.B.C.
Board" The minutes of the County
Commissioners meeting of May,
1857, show that / abStained from
voting on this matter. I am of the
same opinion now. l think he
should resign. l have asked him
several times to resign. If that is
greed, l am guilty.
As to getting roads paved by my
relatives land, 1 am not guilty be-
cause there have not been any
community roads paved in Atlantic
Township for several years. How
ever, when one of the community
roads is paved, it will go by some
of my near relatives, because l
have cousins, aunts, nephews,
brother-in-law, brother, sister, Fa-
ther and Mother that own land
on every unpaved state road in
Atlantic Township.
Yours truly,

The Dare County Library joins
with the libraries of the nation in

8 o'clock.
The purpose of this Dare County
Library Forum will be to analyze
the facilities and services provided
by the local library and to deter
mine in open discussion what inn
provements and additional services
are needed. 1t is hoped that a
worthwhile result of this discus
sion will be suggestions for help
ing everyone to discover the ex-
element, the pleasure, and the
challenge of the printed word.
On the local committee are Mrs.
Kenneth Ward, Chairman, Mrs.
James Bardin, and William Ernst,
of Manteo; David Stick, of Coling-
ton; Mrs. Stanford White of
Manns Harbor; Mrs. Edgar Perry,

in the discussion. David
Stick will serve as moderator of
the forum.
Those persons who are already
taking advantage of the library
facilities are urged to attend and
express their views; those who are
not now making use of the library
will find this an excellent oppor-
tunity to learn what the library
can do for them and their children.

WHY NOT SEE THE LOCAL
COUNTY COMMISSIONER? :?

To The Editor:
l read in the Coastland Times
the amount that was allotted by
the County Commissioners for
garbage collection for Hatteras
Township. Since l have opened my
restaurant on January Is, 1858, l
haven't had a garbage collection
made here. After discussing this
matter with several other estab-
lishments l find they are in the
same predicament. l wonder if
there is something you could sug-
gest we could do about this mat
ter.

made so that they could be upend-
ed and used as bookshelves, and
were carried by Coast Guard
trucks, motor freight, the U. s..
mail contractor and personal car.
On through the years the library
continued to grow, both in size
and in need. On June 80, 194S
there We're 9218 books and 33
periodicals available with 1907 reg
isterer borrowers. During the year
ending June 80, 1948, 1O,O39 books
had been lent. The library now had
collections of books on Home
Helps, Child Care, Art, Gardening
and many other subjects. The
Music and Garden Clubs were re-
sponsible for the books on those
subjects.
A milestone was passed when
the library acquired a bookmobile,
and the people in the outlying
areas could now choose what books
they either needed or wanted to
read. In April 1850 the bookmobile,
four-wheel drive jeep, the first
of its kind in sbookmobiles, made
its initial trip down the Banks.
Along with the Assistant Librarian
in charge of the bookmobile, Mrs.
Helen Meekins Midget, to ceIe-
brate the occasion, was Miss Eliz-
abeth House, the States super
visor of rural Libraries. When the
bookmobile started back > home
from Hatteras it was 700 books
lighter.
The people of Dare County have
reason to be proud and thankful
for their library. Proud, because it
is one of the finest and most COM
plete for its size, not only in North
Carolina, but in this part of the
country. Thankful, because of the
opportunities it gives to bring to
everyone the world of the past, of
the present and of the future.
The story of the Dare County
Library would not be complete
without speaking of two people,
Mrs. Van. Ness Harwood and Mrs.
Rennie Williamson. Mrs. Harwood
put the fourteen books in their
place on that first day and from
them on until her retirement last
year, lived for and with the Ii
brary. Mrs. Harwood's knowledge
of what was the finest in literature
as well as her feeling for what
was needed in a community that
had never had the advantage of q
library, is one of the main reasons
the Dare County Library is the
fine place it is today. But without
Mrs. Rennie Williamson what Mrs.
Harwood was able to do would
have been impossible.
Miss Rennie, as she is known
was Chairman of the Woman's
Club Committee that started the
library in 1885. Today she is chair
man of the Dare County Library
Board. Through the years she has
handled the finances, outlined
plans and struggled to have them
carried through, all the time stay
ing in the background so that
there are not many people who
know what tremendous part Miss
Rennie has had in the building Of
the library.
On March IA, 1885, the count Of
the books in the library was Ia,
today. on March IA, 1858, the
count is--18.280i
