by Joel Arrlngton
OuMm Itfltof, Nor Caralln Travl 1 Promotion Division
was over 1 00 years ago. At
Gaston Mill's store (it is the
only store in South River) you
may purchase a wedge of holp
cheese which Hill will cut to
your specifications. It's good
American cheddar, not too
sharp, and goes well with toast
and eggs for breakfast.
Cecil Tosto, a fountain of
local lore and legend, is usually
our guide when we visit this
area for fishing or just "poking
aiound."
Tosto has the kind of
photographic memory that
permits him to recall exactly
how many trout he caught,
say, at Broad Creek with
"brother Tom" that cold
November morning in 196I.
He may also tell you to the
penny how much he was paid
for a load of flounder he gigged
with a certain guest "along that
black bottom this side of
Turnagain Bay."
Tosto recently set out to
show Al Mewborn and me a
"hidden pond" that is
sequestered among pond pine
and myrtle just oil one of the
sloughs that drain into the
mouth of South River. Wc
motored up the river for a long
time, it seemed, before turning
into a creek. No far up it.
Tosto edged the bow ashore,
tossed out the anchor and
motioned for us to follow.
A short distance down a
path there opened out the
nicest little marsh pond you
ever saw, a bass ai.d robin
fisherman's dream. Needle rush
grew thickly up to the black
water's edge and a patch of lily
pads just begged for a top
water plug to scratch its edges.
But on a hot July day, t here
was little dunce to catch a
hsh.
Mewborn and I slapped at
deer Hies and vowed to return
in October.
As wc cast off. what seemed
to he a half-water logged stick
suddenly slipped under the
3 ;'
dn.wiuii.k .vat.
water.
"datui ," Tosto said, matter
of factly.
It was a small alligator, sure,
but we saw another one
nearby, and it gave me that
comfortable feeling that I
imagine early explorers must
have felt as they probed the
Tar Heel coast.
Visitors interested in indian
relics should make a point of
calling on Inez Hammer at her
pink cottage in Sportsman's
Village on the Ncuse River. Get
her to show you her flint axes,
pottery and pipe stems. All of
this slie has picked up along
the white beaches east of
South River.
"The Indians did not nuke
the pipe stems," Mrs. Hummer
said. "Pipes were traded to the
Tuscaroias by Moravians for
yaupon."
Local residents talk of an
indian burial ground nearby,
and archeology bulls arc taking
increased interest in the aiea.
Leo and luc? Hammer recently
purchased metal detectors to
increase I lie effectiveness of
their explorations, for it is not
only pottery for which llicy
search, but Spanish gold.
"Doublooms have been
found here," Mrs. Hammer
told us, and there are rumors
that sudden unexplained
wealth which has come to a
few local residents may be
traced to a buried pirate chest.
Across the mouth of South
River wc explored the
abandoned Lukins settlement.
It is set on a peninsula and
separated from the mainlane
by marsh. A hurricane in lu32
forced the few residents to
evacuate, and there was little
to return to when it was over.
But tlic old post office still
stands among a few cottages.
The buildings are used by
hunters who seek bear and deer
in thick swamps and
woodlands behind the
settlement. A fence now
surrounds the post office and
confines hounds between hunts
in winter. Wild goats can
occasionally be seen on the
peninsula's shore, but most
local people stay away in
summer

Treasury Asks
Savings Bonds
Rate Increase
R. B. Lewis Hoke County
Chairman for L'. S. Savings
Bonds, was today queried
about the Treasury request to
Congress to remove the interest
rate ceiling on Savings Bonds
and other Government
securities.
According to Lewis. "If the
legislative request is approved,
the interest rate on Series E
and II Savings Bonds will be
raised fiom the current 4.25
percent to 5 percent, if held to
maturity. The increase would
be retroactive to June I. 1.
All outstanding t and II Bonds
would also benefit from the
new 5 percent rate, beginning
with the first semiannual
iuteiest period which starts on
or alter June 1."
Series E Bonds will liave
their maturity period reduced
from 7 years to 5 years, 10
months. II Bond maturity will
remain at 10 years, both 1 and
It Bonds would enjoy an
automatic extension period.
The present 5 percent rate on
Freedom Shares would
continue unchanged until they
are removed from sale 6
months after the proposed
legislation becomes law.
Authority to extend Freedom
Shares at maturity is included
in theTreasury's request.
Lewis said that the
Treasury's proposal "should
give new impetus to the
Savings Bonds Program
throughout our area.
"While Savings Bonds liave
always been a good buy. the
rate increase will make them
even more attractive to the
members of our communities
who have been putting aiide
dollars regularly-through
Payroll Savings Plans or
over-the-counter purchases at
their banks-saving for a new
home, farm improvements, an
automobile, a second
honeymoon, college for the
children, or a retirement nest
egg-
"And it will provide an
added incentive to our young
folks-like Future Farmers and
4- H Clubbers--w ho have not
yet acquired the Savings Bonds
habit of thrift."

On Life In India
EDITOR'S NOTE: The
letter below is from Cy Israel,
son of Mr. and Mrs. O. B.
Israel, of McCain. Cy is in '"dia
with the Peace Corps and hij
mother sent me three letters
from him which we think will
be of interest to readers. If you
like them let us know and we
will ask Mrs. Israel to continue
sending letters of a general
nature:
Hi Everyone,
I arrived in my assigned
district Friday, June I J. This
district is in the southeastern
part of Bihar and il is called
Singhbhum which means land
of the lion. The Singhbhum
district headquarters is in
Chaibasa. and we are now
living in the district high
school's principal's home. The
three of us here as volunteers
are trying to get settled into
permanent living arrangements
as soon as possible, and we
have a new cook which we
have to get used to. He doesn't
speak English, and we can't
speak very much Hindi; you
should see us when we try to
make a shopping list.
The people here in Cliaibasa
have been very friendly and the
teachers of the high school
have gone with us to lielp us
buy the things tliat we need for
our house. The District
Education Officer, who is our
immediate supervisor, is very
enthusiastic about the Science
Teacher's Workshop program
and has offered to help in any
way he can. We have yet to
buy many of the workshop
materials though; first, we have
to look through the little shops
in the bizaar to see what
materials are available, then we
try to buy it al the best price.
But wc hope that we can have
our first workshop the two
weeks starling July IS.
We try to get most of our
work done in the early evening
or early morning to avoid the
midday heat. Most of the
people here feel that the best
way to avoid the heat is to
sleep through it, and we agree.
I here is also a Catholic
Mission here in Cliaibasa, and
tliey have invited us to come
there often as a home away
from home. It is difficult to
generalize on the people of
India, but we tliink t lie people
here in Singhbhum are gentle,
friendly, and eager to please.
Perhaps we ought to wait until
we try to teach them in the
science workshop.
Many of the people in this
area are tribal natives called
adalasis who look more like the
people you would see in Africa
rather than in India. The
countryside here looks a bit
like Africa, too; the valley

the lull country on all sides. It
is a place I have come to like in
the few days 1 luve been here,
and I think it will be a good
experience for me to work
here.
I tliink I can do something
important here. In India people
have so little of the good things
of life I believe they have a
right to, and although I may
not accomplish much while
here, the people really need to
feel that there is a chance to
improve their lives; so it may
be that just by being Itcrc I can
offer a little hope, and llut
makes me pretty useful. It's a
good feeling.
