Evelyn McDuffee War ner was born in Glovers- sville and educated in the public schools there. She took a two-year teaching course at Cobleskill, which was then known as a normal school. After receiving her certification, Mrs. ’ Warner taught at McKownville, near Al bany, for three years. In 19&0, she married Fred Warner. Mr. Warner purchased a hardware store in Greenwich in 1947, which brought the couple to this village.

Mr. Warner passed away, in 1971, having retired from the hardware business two years before.- It was in 1961 that Mrs. Warner first became the librarian of the Greenwich Free library. Although she had never had any formal librarian training, Mrs. Warner says she learned quickly on the job. The local library had joined the Southern Adi rondack Library system just one month before hiring Mrs. Warner. This meant a number of changes in the Greenwich service. Art prints, films, records and cassettes were offered through SALS whereas the library had been mainly con- ' cemed-with books before. The Greenwich library receives two deliveries a week from SALS, giving Mrs. Warner plenty of \behind the scenes” work. 'in 1970 it became apparent that the library, which was then located in the brick building at 72 Main street, would even tually have to move to larger quarters. Three years later, work was begun on the comer of Main and Academy streets, and in March, 1974, Mrs. \Warner found herself in a brand new building. When she leaves, her job, Mrs. Warner will take with ,her many fond, memories of both the new and old buildings. With a chuckle, she relates the story of two recent visi tors. Apparently the youngsters were brothers. The bigger of the two approached the desk, and demanded to know if the library had “any connec tion with the New York library.\ It seemed that he wanted to transfer his membership from the city library to this one. His brother was not so sure, however. After investiga ting the little building’s various features,’he called . to his brother across the room, “Hey, does this strike you as lookin' like a library?** Mrs. Warner admits that she has run an informal library. “It’s never been a shush-shush library,” she recalls, “as a matter of fact, at times, it's been more like a cocktail party.” Pattison releases questionnaire facts brass, m u sical instru ments, jewelry, lamps and furniture will be among the items available.

Over 5,000 people re sponded to the question naire , which dealt with the U.S. postal, service and the energy, situation. The full results will be printed in Congressman Patti- son’s June newsletter.

Regarding the energy situation, the poll showed that as a basic approach to energy conservation, 48 per cent would support mandatory controls, 36 per cent would favor voluntary controls, and only 16 per cent would prefer fuel rationing. Onr specific conserva tion measures, 76 per cent would support tax incen tives for energy conserva tion, and 66 per cent would, support federal regulations for minimum gas mileage or higher insulation standards. Only 6 per cent favored higher fueL-taxes,—- ------ — - Government energy spending, according to 85 per cent, should empha size the development of alternate energy sources.
