Page Eight Ti^E SALEMITE ifeil950 Summer Recreation In My Home Town Now that sprnig is here, thoughts of summer crowd out thoughts of books. Our sleepy little town will change into a gathering place for old friends. The summer cottages and hotels will be opened; the neighboring town s, country and beaches will take on new' life as all prepare for the summer. In our town, Beaufort, the boys and girls will begin their daily visits to the two docks in front of town. These docks will be swarm ing with young people ready for diving and swimming. Some will be at one end of the pier taking sunbaths while others are enjoying the water. Many of the small boys will be playing tag in the water and then climbing on the docks and splashing those who will be trying to enjoy the sun. Nearer the shore line, mothers will be talking with friends as they watch their small tots build sand houses or play around in the water. The older visitors will find fish ing the most enjoyable of all the sports. It may be that they will choose fishing from the railroad bridge, from a small row boat or from a launch. The favorite fish ing ground, however, is the Gulf Stream which is about thirty miles away. If you wish to make this trip, it is necessary to engage the boat several days before you wish to go. It will be possible to sleep on the boat on the night before leaving, and then you will be able to leave at three or four o’clock the next morning. Since it is such a long trip there is usually a cook on the boat to prepare breakfast, but the party renting the boat has to buy coffee, bread, sandwich spread or anything, ese they want to eat for lunch. As soon as the Gulf Stream is reached and the hooks are baited and thrown over board, you w'ill begin pulling m a sea trout, a bass, a blue fish or perhaps a shark. Even the worst fisherman will have luck. Some will catch as many as two hundred pounds of blue fish. These will be iced and brought to post, to give to friends or to sell to fish markets. For supper the cook will prepare a trout supper and serve it to you as you sit on the deck and enjoy the pink, blue and gold of the sun set. Fun for the whole family will come on Sunday afternoon when you can rent a boat and go to the Cape. Going to Cape Lookout takes about four hours, and the most interesting things to be found are the Coast Guard Station and the lighthouse which people enjoy climbing even though there are two hundred and fifty six steps. Then on getting to the top you can look out and see the whole island which is about nine or ten miles in dia meter. If you are lucky, you might be able to rent a sailboat and sail over to “the Banks”. The only catch to that is that the breeze Have Your Car Washed And Filled With Gas At Bean’s Shell Station- Three blocks from Salem on South Main must be from the southeast and the water not too rough, because the tide is awfully strong and will carry you out into the ocean. “The Banks” lias nothing of interest what-so-ever. It is just a small island with a lot of sand and scrub- bery bushes. A few people have built summer houses on it, and they like to spend a few weeks over there during the summer. On July the first of every year there is a “pony penning”. There are about one hundred and fifty wild horses on “the Banks”, and every year they are penned. This is done with the help of an airplane that herds the ponies together and then into a pen built on one end of the island. .A few of these ponies are sold, but most of them are turned out into the open to roam around until the next first of July. If you ever want to take a vaca tion and don’t know where to go, then come to Beaufort. We gua rantee you a good time. Editor's Note : This is an entry in the Salemite creative writing con test. Winners will be announced ne.xt week. Girl Scout (Continued from page five) shook her head. “Viola ain t home yet. I’ve been waiting for her since five o’clock. Her pa s hurt himself at the mill and they took him to the hospital. They ain’t no one here but me to stay with the baby. Viola’s Lord knows where gallivantin’ around the country with some boy.” She twisted the corner of her apron with her left hand and looked down the dark street anxiously. Julie wanted to say something to make the woman feel better, but she could only say that she would see Viola tomorrow and that she hoped Mr. Austin was going to be all right. Then she stumbled down the wooden steps and walked down the middle of the lonely street. Julie always walked in the middle of the street after dark because the shadows weren’t so bad there. When Julie began to run, though, it wasn’t because she was afraid of the shadows. She wasn’t even thinking about them. She didn’t want to see Viola or talk to Caro lyn or even go to the movies with a boy. She didn’t want to worry Mother, and she didn’t mind wear ing the Girl Scout shoes. All she wanted was to be at home with Mother and Daddy—all of them safe and together. And she still had time to do her arithmetic.
