roundings with unsightly and
unhealthy objects. Don't ex
pect Dame Nature to clean the
place up after you leave.
If you’re dating a boy or
girl who habitually scatters lit
ter, and has no respect for
fellow vacationers, take it as
a warning signal. Such acts
may seem unimportant, but they
indicate an attitude that is apt
to continue throu^out life.
There’s much to be said for
the young person, or adult, who
recognizes that a public beach
or a navigable river is for
the enjoyment of many, rath
er than for the thoughtless abuse
of a few individuals.
Being a litter bug, at the beach
or in your own community, is
almost a mild form of vanda
lism. You aren’t (we hope)
malicous when you make the
scene around you less attrac
tive, but isn’t desecrating pub
lic property, and destroying
its beauty, what you would ex
pect from a vandal?
This little sermon isn't only
for teenager:^. Countless adults
are notoriously guilty of play
ing the role of litter bug. In
fact, to such an extent that
it’s dlfflcuU to tell where youth
leaves off and maturity begins.
We’re thinking primarily of
rivers and beaches this week,
because our State and Federal
governments are taking serious
steps to attack the nation’s
water pollution problem. In a
very small way we can show our
interest in the project by seeing
to it that we don’t throw trash
Into the rivers we are blessed
with.

handwork, and gave the
proceeds to her church.
Even after she could no
longer see, she did weaving, and
rust-proofed clothes hangers
with plastic wrapping. A
charter member of Tuttle’s
Grove Methodist Church, near
Beaufort, she had the edifice
under pinned, and among other
gifts gave the baptismal font
and collection platra.
Serenity is seldom achieved
on this earth, but Hunnie, as
much as any person we’ve ever
been privileged to know, at
tained it as easily and as
gracefully as a fluffy cloud
floats in a spring sky.
Her faith was such that she
had no fear of death. God may
be deceased in the minds of
some folks, and for the atheist
never did exist, but she knew
better. She talked to the Good
Lord too often to have any
doubts.
Once, while fishing for
croakers off Swansboro with
Hunnie, quite some years back,
we ran out of shrimp for bait.
Half jokingly, the Mirror’s
editor suggested using some
popcorn from an all but empty
box we had with us.
“I think it will work,” she
said, and bless goodness it did.
No one questioned the story
when we got back to land. After
all, a newsman on a fishing
jaunt might stretch the truth,
but who would ever accuse
Hunnie of falsification?

She prized the Mirror column
we wrote about the incident,
kept it close by her bedside, and
insisted that everyone who
visited her read it. That’s our
favorite recollection of Hunnie,
and, knowing her, she’ll
probably recount the tale to
other angels on high.
We hear a lot of talk, and see a
lot of placards proclaiming love
these days. Hunnie literally
lived it for more than a century.
