Opens Saturday
DO YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE?
BY RUSH OTEY
Some probably unhear aided
philosopher once made the state*
meat that *a book is a Journey,*
and if this be the case, there
are over 60,000 Journeys to be
taken in the Presbyterian Col
lege-Community Library.
The library, located on the PC
campus, provides approximately
84 hours of service to students
and Clintonites each week during
the academic year.
Led by Librarian Lennart
Pearson, the library staff is com
posed of a permanent force of six
and what Pearson calls “an out
standing student staff" of seven.
Miss Marian Burts is the li
brarian in charge of the nearly
400 periodicals available for re
search or general reading.
Periodicals range from the
‘Presbyterian Journal" to ‘Ebo
ny," from the ‘Clinton Chroni
cle* to the Sunday ‘New York
Times."
According to Pearson, this
year approximately 5,200 items
have been added to the library,
compared with 2,850 during the
last academic session. Funds for
books come largely through the
college budget, with most funds
allocated through the various de
partments of study at the col
lege. Pearson pointed out that the
library is used primarily by col
lege students, saying of com
munity participation that “cer
tain regulars do make good use
of the facilities, but others could
take better advantage."
Services of the library which
are little used, partly because
few persons are aware of their
existence, include the Children’s
Library, the record collection,
and the curriculum laboratory.
The Children’s Library is su
pervised by Mrs. Dowl Thomp
son and is open weekdays except
Wednesdays from 2:30-5-0Op.m.
and Saturdays from 9-12 a.m.
Mrs. Thompson pointed out that
books in this section of the li
brary include biographies, mys
teries, and science.‘People from
age three on ig) through high
school students can find interest
ing and valuable information
here," she added. The Children’s
Library, located on the second
floor of the library building, is
sponsored by the Laurens Coun
ty Library Association, and also
contains filmstrips with accom
panying records, a set of the ‘New
Book of Knowledge," and maga
zines such as ‘Jack and Jill’
and ‘Boy’s Life." Mrs. Thomp
son holds a story hour from 3:30-
the S. C. Farm Bureau will teach
the course. There will be two -
four hour sessions held May 7

CHILDREN’S LIBRARY AT PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE
4:30 each Tuesday afternoon. It
is open to all children of the area
ages 4-8, free of charge, and will
continue throughout the summer.
The library contains a collec
tion of over 1400 LP records,
ranging from recordings of
Shakespeare’s plays to music of
all descriptions.
The curriculum laboratory,
located on the second floor of
Neville Hall on the PC campus,
has only recently been in opera
tion and is under the direction
of Dr. Dorothy Brandt of the PC
Education Department. This ser
vice is set up to provide assis
tance to local teachers in select
ing improving, and organizing
curriculum for their respective
courses. The curriculum labora
tory is also utilized in Presby
terian’s teacher-training pro
gram.
Librarian Pearson remarked
that specific areas m which the
library is seeking to build up
its resources include mental re
tardation, art, education and
works on non-Western cultures.
He expressed high hopes for the
new library facilities which are
still in the planning stages of
PC’s long-range development
program. “The new library will
include the curriculum labora
tory, audio-visual and typing fa
cilities, seminar rooms, a facul
ty study area, and of course
more and improved areas for in
dividual study by students and

doesn’t happen.
It’s the sort of thing that just
Not too long ago, in a small Southwestern city, a Mr. Al
exander walked into the telephone business office one
morning to arrange for phone service. And, oddly
enough, the same morning, a Mr. Graham came along
on a similar mission.
“Well,” said everybody, “what a coincidence!
we need to make the morning complete is . .

members of the community."
The library on Broad Street
also contains several historical
collections and the reconstruct
ed personal library of PC’s
founder, William Plumer Jacobs.
According to Pearson, these ele
ments should become of increas
ing interest as the South Caro
lina Tri-Centennial approaches.
A visit to the library is time
well spent. For here a person
of any age can learn of life as
it was, life as it is, life as it
could be, life as it should be,
or life as it might be in years
to come. Or, if he wishes, one
may simply relax with the latest
issue of‘Esquire.’
position 1969, sponsored by the
Blue Ridge Council of the Boy
Scouts of America and the Green
ville Seratoma Club, Saturday,
May 3. Greenville will host tha
Scout Exposition at Textile Hall,
beginning at 2 p.m.
Never before has the thrill of
a carnival and the flavor of a three
ring circus been put together for
such a spectacular. This show of
scouting gives the people of the
council area an opportunity to
see why scouting is so great.
Scout units of the council’s
eight-county service area will
participate with a series ofbooth
demonstrations showing the ad
vancement and scoutcraft pro
gram of scouting. It is the hand
books laid open for all to see
the exciting contents. It is the
units opportunity to show mother,
dad, neighbors, friends, and the
public at large what Cubs, Boy
Scouts, and Explorers can do.
Tickets are available rrom
Cub, Boy, and Explorer Scouts
at $1 each. The sale of exposi
tion tickets offers the unit a
means to raise funds for its trea
sury, gives the boys business
training in handling money, and
the opportunity to meet and talk
with strangers, which is a most
valuable experience for the boys.
When a Scout knocks on your
door support his efforts, and
make a special effort on your
part to attend the Scout Exposi
tion.
The classes will begin at 1p.m.
and last until 5 p.m. The fee is
$2 per person. This course is
for licensed drivers and will be
limited to 30 persons. Women,
men or teenagers are urged to en
roll. If you are interested in en
rolling call our office in Lau
rens at 984-3021, or write us at
219 Laurens Street, Laurens.
The little known fact is that it’s
good drivers like you who have
most of the fatal accidents. In
the next year, about one out of
five drivers will be involved in an
accident and for most of those,
it will be their first accident. So,
a good driving record is no guar
antee against accidents in the fu
ture.

INFLATION—“The single
most urgent problem facing
the economy is the threat of
continuing inflation,” said Sen.
Edward W. Brooke, (R.-
Mass ). He said that inflation
carries with it a forward mo
mentum that can be controlled
only by appropriate economic
policies applied with “determi
nation and persistence.” He
recommends the checking of
federal spending, and mone
tary restraint to hold down
the growth of money and
credit, “perhaps for a consid-
irableperiod ahead.”

THE NUMBER GAME . . Has it ever occurred to you
what a unique item your complete telephone number is ?
The complete number is your Area Code plus your
phone number. Dialed correctly, it selects your tele
phone, within seconds, from more than 100,000,000
phones in service throughout the entire nation. How’s
that for personalized phone service? Seems fantastic.
And it points up the importance of including the Area
Code when you give your number to out-of-town friends,
or when you have it printed on your stationary.
AND, SPEAKING OF GAMES—have you heard about
the ingenious Little Leaguer who commandeered the
family phone book and used it as a chest protector?
Actually, of course, telephone directories don’t guaran
tee protection against wild pitches—but they do protect
you against wrong numbers. It’s always a good prac
tice to look the number up first, then jot it down and
dial it carefully. Take a look at Our New Clinton di
