In my aunt's possessions, I have found a book called This Town of Mine by J. Gaskill McDaniel. This is a paperback book of poems and essays that were originally broadcasted over WHIT, New Bern, NC. The publication date is 1944. There are several references to buying war bonds and other social conventions of that era. Is there a collection or museum that would find this a valued asset?

Diane, I wish I could say the Pitt County Historical Society has a place for someting like this. At the present time there is not a place other than possibly the Manuscript Collection at ECU Joyner Library. Martha Elmore is one to contact there. I have several items I would like to place somewhere where the public could view them. The Village of Yesteryear looks like it will be lost if no place is found to move it. But it does not have a building I would call safe enough for paper items and books. They do have some material in the old schoolhouse but the weather will get to it. There has been talk of trying to find a place for placing historical items. Maybe one of these days. Forgot, Winterville Historical Society has the Ange House that they place items. That might be the place. I have a coffin built in the early 1900s a friend gave me. We are hoping to find a place for it. Have talked with Winterville. A number of people I know have items and want to see them saved.
