PARK SERVICE IS LOOKING FOR CARTER MEMORABILIA

The National Park Service is looking for photographs, letters, newspaper articles, scrapbooks, campaign paraphernalia or similar memorabilia for a museum being set up at the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site.

``We are talking about anything pertaining to someone becoming president from a small, southern rural community,'' said park ranger Lloyd Hoffman.

The museum will be in a restored Plains High School, which the former president and his wife, Rosalynn, both attended.

The request for Carter items was made last week. Other exhibits at the museum will trace the history of Plains, which was established in the 1880s.

Those interested in donating memorabilia can call Lloyd Hoffman or Bonnie Blaford at (912) 824-3626.
