LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

Just a word of thanks and
commendation to you, our li-
brary patrons, for the fine
spirit you are showing by
donating to the library your
own books which you have read
and enjoyed. These book dona-
tions are greatly appreciated,
not only because they give out
readers access to a greater
number of books, but also be-
cause they show your interest
in the library and those who
patronize it. Remember that
we thank you both for your
thoughfulness and for the
books which you give.

Speaking of book donations
let us tell you about a book
which Clara Veal, member of
the Thursday Afternoon Story
Hour Group, has given to the
library. It is entitled ''The Lit-
tle Boy Who Ran Away,'' and
is written on the pre-primer
level. This little book is one
of the most colorful, attractive
numbers you can imagine, and
is sure to catch the eye of any
tiny tot who sees it. In behalf
of all the children who will en-
joy this book, we say ''Thank
you, Clara; it was thoughtful
of you to remember us by
donating one of your very
prettiest books.'' Clara is the
daughter of Mrs. Estelle Veal
and a granddaughter of Mr.
Thomas C. Veal, well known
Slater resident.

Freida and Barbara Ann
Thornton have remembered the
library by donating two ''west-
ern'' magazines. These girls
have made other book dona-
tions in the past, and we thank
them for keeping the library
constantly in mind. Both
Freida and Barbara Ann are
members of the Girls' Library
Club and are daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. A. L. Thornton.

Early this month, the Girls'
Library Club began a most in-
teresting project. The unit
centers around Thanksgiving,
tracing the observance of this
holiday from its origin down to
the present time. To make the
work more interesting, each
girl is making a booklet which
will include pictures and ma-
terial concerning Indians, Pil-
grims, Thanksgiving foods, cus-
toms, etc. This project will be
concluded at the last club meet-
ing in November and will be
climaxed by a social period, at
which time refreshment appro-
priate for the Thanksgiving
season will be served. The
girls, very enthusiastic about
their club activities, had 16
members present at the regular
meeting last week.

Several people have already
contacted the library for spe-
cial Christmas material appro-
priate the Christmas season.
The library had quite a bit of
this material on hand, and has
already supplied some of the
demands. However, additional

Ruth Campbell spent four days
in Shelbyr recently with Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. Campbell. While
there they attended a meeting
of the Baptist Association of
N. C.

Third shift employees wel-
come Paul B. Epps as assistant
Commissary clerk.

Shower Honors
Mrs. Edna Newton

One of the most outstanding
social events of the fall season
was the miscellaneous shower
given on November 2 in honor
of Mrs. Edna Earle Bates New-
ton at the home of Mrs. Law-
rence Foster.

A host of friends presented
Mrs. Newton a large number of
lovely and useful gifts. During
the social hour the hostesses,
Mrs. Foster and daughter, serv-
ed delicious refreshments. Mrs.
W. C. Brown, of Dacusville,
was in charge of the entertain-
ment. The plans for this oc-
casion were most distinctively
carried out and everyone spent
a very enjoyable evening.

Mrs. Newton's marriage took
place October 5, 1946 at Shiloh
Baptist Church in the presence
of a large assemblage of friends
and relatives. She is a former
employee of the Slater plant
and has a wide circle of friends
throughout this section.

material has been ordered, and
should reach the library some
time before Thanksgiving. This
order includes material suitable
for children of the primary, in-
termediate, and teen age
groups. For the adults, we
have a number of sample copies
of plays from which a selection
can be made. Anyone desiring
this special material is invited
to come to the library and se-
lect that best suited to his par-
ticular program needs. The li-
brarian will be glad to assist
in selecting material for special
programs of this nature.

Are you planning a Thanks-
giving or Christmas party? The
library has books which will
give you pointers on games,
decorations, and refreshments.

Donation Made

House of Representatives; and
J. H. Barnett, Superintendent
of the Slater-Maritta School.

The entire occasion was
simply another evidence of the
interest Commander H. N. Sla-
ter has always shown in the de-
velopment of the Slater Com-
munity since it was first estab-
lished in 1927. It is likewise
conclusive proof that the fine
spirit of cooperation which has
always existed at Slater be-
tween employees and manage-
ment, will be continued under
the new corporate set-up where-
by Slater Manufacturing Co.,
Inc. becomes a part of the J.
P. Stevens & Company. Inc.
group of mills. All of the offi-
cials of the Company are proud
of the fact that they were able
to make this substantial dona-
tion to the local school district.
Larger donations, of course,
have been made to colleges and
universitites, but this is un-
doubtedly one of the largest
gifts ever to be made to a pub-
lic school district in the history
of this state.

The Slater Manufacturing
Co., Inc. for the past three
years, has donated $5,000 an-
nually to the support of the
local school, the money being
used to employ two teachers
outright and to supplement the
salaries of others. It also con-
