BY FRANKLIN BILL COCHRAN The reason it looked like a Russian submarine was because it wasn’t moving very fast. In fact, it wasn’t moving at all. We’re a little sensitive, here on the Outer Banks of North Caro lina, for we’ve heard rumors of foreign submarines being sighted off shore. Its not that we fear their putting spies ashore, for any spy landing on Hatteras Island would have to wait so long for the ferry at Oregon Inlet that he’d finally give up trying to get to the mainland and settle down on the island. If they’re snooping around for the purpose of getting some new and refreshing ideas, we have no objections. In fact, we’re proud to show off our new 'modern hotels, motor courts and restaurants Our beaches, scenery, and even our superb fishing we are glad to share with everybody. “What we’re complaining about is the type of submarine they’re sending over. Not one atomic powered craft in the whole shoddy lot* Is there any wonder I thought I had a Russian sub in sight as I flew over the wrecked and barn acle-covered hulk of the old steamer Ariosto, as she. lav in state off nearby Ocracoke island ia the graveyard of the Atlantic? and Shirley Daniels of E.C.C., Greenville, spent the week end with their parents.

The last ses sion ended with a commitment service in which the members who ahd participated in the study pled ged to give their support to the Tithing Adventure of the church and to give more of their time, money, and service for His King dom.
