in Clyde’s own v/ords, “Ife believe that wo can and must live in a peaceful and
loving way together. We believe in ciarriage and the saci^ament of birth.
Our midwivcs deliver babies using natural childbirth techniques* We share
our resources equally. ijc consider work to bo a meditation and an expros*-
sion of love. We take care of ourselves, we grow most of our foodj build
our homes and keep our machinery running, take care of medical needs to as
great extent as possible. We are vegetarians - you can grow ten times as
much vegetable protein as animal protein in the same space
The folks on "The Farm" shipped beans and potatoes to Honduras after last
year s hurricane, have given Irish potatoes to the needy in Kentucky, have
wen y carpenters right now in Guatemala, helping to rebuild houses, hospi-
ais, and schools damaged in the earthquake.
There’s more to be said, but the Farm people say much of it in the following
a little folder they have printed: "We’re saying that if you
really be friends and love one another and take care of each other, there’s
enoug^ to go around,” The young Gensorts exporionce groat spiritual plea

OTRRICANE BELLE came and went and left us with no damage but lots of quest
ions, Our Civil Defense officials recommended that residents of Bogue '
Banks evacuate the island. l^Jhy? Our homes are well built, our section of
1 elevation above the six foot mean high water mark
about which the radio and TV wore warning us. After Belle had gone, your
edi or phoned our PKS Civil Defense to ask. The answers set us thinking.
We mght well be cut off because of high water toward Salter Path and high
wind could force closing of the Atlantic Beach causeway. If you tripped
broke a bone (don’t laugh - your editor knew a doctor
rni crutches as a result)) how would you get to modi-
Defense group, but you might need
more aid than she could give. And after the storm is over, could you ro^
strain your curiosity and not venture out to see what damage occurred until
oads wore cleared and there was no danger of live wir^s? Our Civil Defense
IS a volunteer group ivho can recommend but not enforce., but we owe them our
cooperation. They, after all, will try to chock on the safety of all who
insist on staying, and wo can increase their work enormously by disregarding
their recommendations. If you evacuate, how far should you go? New Bern,
w ere your editor took shelter in Hurricane Ginger is not far enough. The
water forces up the river there, and the bridge was closed when Gingor hit,
iou will have 2^ hours warning, so you should try for Raleigh or one of the
Piedmont towns a good distance from the coast and the storm surge. And
w a about your treasured possessions? Those who remain here on duty will
ao ail they can to protect your property, but in a real emergency, your per-'
sonal safety is worth much more than an antique chair or a favorite painting*
DOTTIE gave us another scare and lotg of rain, but she never got close enough
pLso^mountr^ considering evacuation. The season isn’t over yot; the sus-
JONES brought us these hints about jellyfish and stingrays from a
Dulletin sent her by a Durham physician. First hint: if you see a stingray,
Change your course. But if you should brush against one when you arc
li-oundoring and are stung, what should you do? If you can readily remove
o sheath from the wound, that will minimize the amount of the toxin ab
sorbed, Wash the wound immediately with largo quantities of salt solution,
ihon submerge tho extremity in hot water for one hour. If you get a severe
reaction, or if tho wound is in the abdomen or thorax, see a doctor immediate-
y* Jollyfisn tentacles contain stingers. Contact with the tentacles
^..imulates the stingers to release a small quantity of toxin into tho vic-
w^ skin. This may result in a local raaction (pain and/or itching),
off tontaclos clinging to the skin with alcohol, cover vrLth dry sand,
scrape off after several minutes. Analgesic creams or lotions will
usually soothe tho aroa of the sting.
