[enclosed in box: LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY]

We would like to take this
opportunity to recognize sev-
eral new members who have
recently affilliated themselves
with the library.
The first of these is Mrs C.
C. Compton, the former Miss
Martha Taylor, who prior to
her marriage was employed in
the mill office. We welcome
Mrs Compton to the library
and are happy to enroll her as
one of our new members.
Mrs. J. M. Dean, wife of the
pastor of the Slater Church of
God, is another new member.
Rev. Dean has been a library
member for sometime, and we
are glad to welcome Mrs. Dean
also. Their daughter, Faye, is
a new member too, enrolling
with her mother.
A number of school children
have recently become members
of the community library, some
of them having joined the li-
brary clubs.
Those joining the clubs are
as follows: Doris Mae Smith,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
L. Smith, Story Hour. George
Pridmore, son of Mr. and Mrs.
G.W. Pridmore, and John Can-
ham, son of Mr. and Mrs. R.P.
Canham, The Boys' Library
Club. June Pridmore, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Prid-
more, the Girls' Library Club.
Other children who are also
new library members are: Cleo
Lathan, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. F. Lathan; Paul Poole,
son of Mrs. Lena Poole; and
Calvin Cox, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. C. Cox of Marietta.

Birthday greetings are in or-
der for two of our juvenile
members - Gib Toby and Fuller
Horton. Gib, a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Darrell Toby, was eight
years old on November 13 and
is a member of the Boys' Li-
brary Club. Fuller, a member
of the Friday P. M. Story Hour
Group, was four years old on
November 24. Fuller is a son
of Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Horton.

We were very happy to have
Abie and Gloria Cook visit the
library recently. While living
in Slater, Abie was a member
of the Boys' Club and Gloria was
a member of the Friday P.M.
Story Hour Group. Abie and
Gloria are the children of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank A. Cook. The
Cook family moved to Greens-
boro N.C. when Mr. Cook as-
sumed his duties as Director of
Industrial Relations for a group
of mills which Slater is a
member.

Linda Pace, little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Pace,
recently underwent a tonsillec-
tomy at the Wood Memorial
Clinic. Linda recuperated rap-
idly and is again able to par-
ticipate in library activities.

Sammy White also parted
with his tonsils last week. He
was a brave little fellow during
the procedure and is enjoying
a rapid recovery. Sammy is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
White. Mr. White is Plant
