VOLUME XXIV NO. 26
PROTEST SENT BY
BOARD AGAINST
INSURANCE BOOST
Blanket Increase Opposed; Infor
\ mation Sought on Fire Pro
tection Advantages
The Dare County Board of Com
missioners on Monday of this week
sent a protest to the Insurance
Department in Raleigh against a j
proposed blanket rate increase now
sought by insurance companies to
apply in coastal areas, and which
would be highly discriminatory
against Dare County and other
like sections. The motion was made
by David Stick and seconded by
. George Fuller.
Insurance rates now being
sought would mean heavy in
creases in cost to the people of the
outer banks areas. Extended cover
age would cost double the present
rate; a rate which now is double
•) that charged in some parts of the
state. The increase would carry
also a decrease in liability, where
by companies would not pay an>
of the first SIOO in windstorm
loss. The deductible is now SSO.
The Board also directed the
Chairman to send a letter to the
insurance department and the fire
insurance rating bureau seeking
information as to the type of fire
protection measures which might
reduce insurance rates in rural
areas of Dare County. It had been
noted, the letter said, that some
districts in Nash County had re
'borted saving up to 40 per cent
<*>n insuranoe rates by acquiring
fire equipment.
The Board at this meeting ap
pointed David Stick to collect and
co-ordinate information requested
by the office of Civil Defense in
support of Beach erosion projects
proposed in Dare County.
.The Board agreed to pay ex
penses of Sheriff Frank Cahoon to
a school of instruction for Sheriffs
which is conducted at Chapel Hill
in January each year by the Insti
tute of Government.
Othec Board Actions
Among other things done by the
board this week was to write a
letter to the Highway Department
urging action on much needed re
pairs to the Hatteras Island road.
It sent $25 to- the Christmas fund
i\ of Caswell Training school, Kin
ston; authorized revisions and in
creases in aid to the blind checks
as requested by the Welfare De
partment, approved payment of
bills amounting to $5,059.96.

HUNTER IS KILLED
BY COMPANION IN
HYDE CO. SATURDAY
Georgia Man Stood Up in Blind
and Struck Gun Barrell; Coro
ner Rules Accident
Death ended a happy hunting
party at 6:45 a.m. Saturday when
William C. Cam 45, stood up in
a blind in front of a gun, which he
accidentally struck, causing it to
fire accidentally. The gun was in
the hands of E. J. Lancaster of
2047 Roswell Ave., Charlotte and
the hunting party was at Matta
muskeet Lake, Hyde County.
Coroner Piatt Williamson ruled
the death was accidental and no in
quest was necessary. Dr. H. J.

guided by Edward Carawan. In the
blind with the three men named
was A. L. Granger of Camp Le-
Jeune, N. C. The party had come
down at 7:30 the evening before,
Thursday.
Mr. Cam, who lived at 919 Blue
bird Road, Augusta, Ga. and was
employed by Riverside Mills of that
city.
Mr. Cam was on the south end
of the blind, and flock of geese
coming from the east and moving
to the south side of the blind
caused his hurried action. When he
stood up, his head struck Mr. Lan
caster’s gun. The load caught Mr.
Cam in the back of the head.
Others hunting in this vicinity
were M. C. Hunter and Paul F.
Haddock of Charlotte, and Garland

GLIMPSES
DF
TH E PAS T
By CAROLYN LLOYD
Last week my class and many
others in school prepared boxes to
be sent to families unable to pro
vide Christmas gifts for their chil
dren. Some students brought mon
ey, some brought fruit and canned
goods, some brought their own
treasured possessions. Whatever
they gave, they gave Joyously, and
it made me proud of them to know
that they were making sacrifices
for someone they didn’t even know.
Every year there is an objecjtion
raised to helping some family be
cause, as the objector says, they
don’t deserve it. Perhaps the
father drinks or has thrown his
money away or is considered lazy.
Since when did little children have
to “deserve” a happy Christmas.
Is this the season to prove that
“the sins of the father are visited
upon the children”? If so, the day
which we celebrate is meaningless,
for Jesus was bom to bring love
into a world that operated on that
theory. Surely God did nfot send
His Son into the world because
mankind deserved him.
There are those, too, who would
take Santa Claus out of Christmas.
Well, I’m glad they didn’t get
around to it while I was a child.
As a matter of fact, it is adults,
not children, who let Santa crowd
Jesus out. Children have room in
their hearts for both, and when
they fail to grasp the true mean
ing of Christmas, it is generally
the fault of their elders. In our
home, Santa Claus was a welcome
visitor every Christmas —but so
was the baby Jesus, and my moth
er made sure that we knew which
was the more important. There
may have been times when she
wondered if her teachings were
getting through to us, but she
never considered banishing Santa
Claus, and I shall be eternally
grateful for the memory of many
happy Christmases. It would be
my wish that every child might
have such happy memories to
store away for the years when
loved ones are gone and the season
is tinged just a little bit with sad
ness.
My wish this Christmas Day is
that no child is sad because some
one thought his family undeserv
ing or someone decided that Santa
Claus has no place in Christmas.
For adults, including me, my wish
is that today and always God will
continue to be better to most of us
that we deserve.

PRELUDE TO FOREVER
HATTERAS ISLAND NOVEL
Pat Strawbridgs Carson's New 800 l
Published in New York; A Love
Story of the Coastland
“Prelude to Forever” is the
name of a novel recently published
by Greenwich Book Publers, 489
Fifth Avenue, New York City; the
price $3.50. It was written by Pat
Strawbridge Carson, a North Caro
linian, now married and living in
Massachusetts. Her book is report
ed as having been two years in the
writing, although she had been
planning it for a long time.
The book is a piece of easy read
ing but to one native to the area
it doesn’t have the ring. The simi
larity of names, places and condi
tions are not similar enough. One
would have had to live a long
time in the locality to capture the
atmosphere and the moods the
book deserves to portray. Conse
quently it will read more interest
ingly to one who does not know
this great and fascinating country.
Prelude to Forever attempts to
tell of the people of a coastal fish
ing village and the six New York
ers who came to vacation at their
hotel. It is a story of the impact
of an immemorial way of life on
the restless modem newcomers.
Subtly the characters reveal them
selves; each develops, is influenced
by the others as the days pass.
When a hurricane knifes into the
tight little community, villager and
outsider fight side by side against
its made violence.
When it is over, the characters
find themselves profoundly chang
ed; the great storm has shattered
the past and resolves their indi
vidual destinies. It might easily be
called a fine piece of writing,
handicapped only by its lack of
authentic atmosphere.

WE MARCH BOLDLY INTO A
NEW YEAR, EXPECTING IT
TO BE COASTLAND’S BEST
Many Signs Point to Great Development in 1959,
All of Which Will Add Many Additional Re
sponsibilities and Some Burdens; There is No
Such Thing as Breaking Even; No Standing
Still—We Go One Way or the Other.
All of us have a deeply-rooted
faith in our region. Out of it
springs hope. Our hope will ma
terialize if we are sufficiently un
selfish to work for what we need
and ought to have for the better
ment of our region. It is not mere
ly a question of what we want for
ourselves. If we seek the best for
the benefit of all, we won’t have
to worry about getting everything
any of us need.
We are marching boldly into a
new year. It is a year of much
promise, for behind it is the
foundation that has been slowly
in the building for many years.
Acceleration of the building of this
foundation has been more rapid
during the years now closing and
those immediately' preceding. We
are now ready to go further fast.
The inscription, “What is past
is prologue,” truly means for the
Walter Raleigh Coastland when
translated in easy English: “We
ain’t seen nothing yet.” It’s going
to be terrific—what will happen
here in the next ten years. Our
problem is in arranging now to be
prepared for it. We don’t want it
to run over us and leave us crip
pled and without profit.
To bring about the many bene
fits that are to come our way, we
have to do a lot of work ourselves,
yet when he have achieved them
we will be faced with new respon
sibilities and some burdens. The
growing renown that favors this
region from continued advertising
by the National Park Service, the
press, radio, etc. has brought in
creasing thousands of visitors dur
ing the past several years, who
upon their return home have
spread the glory of our region, and
maybe in some instances, have re
ported cases of neglect, fancied or
real, which are not to our profit
In the year 1969 we are going
to begin plans for a big future,
based on the foundation that has
been built for us during the few
years passed. Some of the things
for which the ground work must
be done are the creation of an all
seashore highway, better roads
through the South Albemarle and
essential bridges for the linking
up of all communities of the area
to put them on a parity with all
other communities of our common
wealth.
We may easily look forward
during the year to greater hotels,
and other resort facilities, such as
convention hall, golf course, yacht
basins, air strips, etc. We have
got to think b.g, to prepare for
big things. We must be willing
to assume big tasks and give free
ly of our time, so much of which
will go without immediate reward.
The future may be as big as we
wish to make it. It has no limits.
It should embrace endeavors for
better medical facilities, better li
brary service, improvements to
schools. We have no time to lose;
we must prepare for the demands
that progress is going to impose
on us. It is too late to wait until
the day and the demand comes.
The wise sailor shortens his can
vas before the shift of wind
strikes. The hen clucks to her
chicks before the rain falls.
We might consider this. It
might be as bad to be run over
and wrecked by prosperity as it
is to be drowned in a depression.
We must have a back log against
adversity as well as a governor
on the wheels of progress. Believe
us, it is going to be a great year
with greater ones ahead. We must
prepare for it by organizing, unit
ing, choosing wise leadership; de
fending our rights, demanding
what’s just; and donating what is
due, whether it be our time, our
labor or our money.

GREAT HUNTING
PREDICTED FOR
NEXT TWO WEEKS
Old Hunters Say Plenty of Birds,
Wiser Than Ever and Keeping
Low During Good Days
Tht wildfowl hunting season has
been a disappointment, many old
guides report, but not because of a
scarcity of birds. In fact, the gen
eral opinion is that there is a
great concentration of geese, ducks
and brant on the reservations of
Mattamuskeet and Pea Island than
in some years, but apparently the
birds are wiser and more wary
than ever and fly comparatively
less, even on the blustery cold
days traditionally associated with
greater activity aloft.
A series of days of mild weath
er throughout the first of the sea
son kept away many spoilsmen
who know the futility of spending
time and money on the shooting
grounds in “blue bird” weather.
These hunters, out of long experi
ence, just won’t come. A further
handicap this season was the sud
den change two weeks ago which
brought unusual cold, and heavy
snow upstate and in other states
whereby travel by car to this area
was considered too difficult and
risky.
With so many sportsmen having
been prevented from getting their
usual hunting vacation before
now, hunting guides at Ocracoke
Island, Rodanthe, Hatteras, Curri
tuck, and the Hyde County main
land are now faced with a heavy
influx of business in the remain
ing 14 huntings day of the season.
Indications, based on inquiries and
reservations for the remainder of
the season which ends January
15th is for big business. And
guides, who have been short
changed at the worst time of year,
prior to Christmas, will still wel
come this business they would
have been so happy to have accom
modated had it been stretched out
comfortably over the past six
weeks.
BONNER IRKED BY LAG
IN U. S. SHIP PROGRAM
Chairman Herbert C. Bonner
(D-NC) of the House Merchant
Marine Committee complained
Monday other countries are using
U. S. experience in atomic mer
chant ship building but President
Eisenhower’s administration has
not developed a follow-up program.
Bonner made public a letter in
which he told Secretary of Com
merce Strauss he understands
plans for advancing the applica
tion of atomic energy to merchant
shipping are in the formulation
stage in both the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Department
of Commerce.”
But, Bonner went on, “there
seems to be nothing firm in the
way of administration policy to
put these plans into execution.”
Meanwhile, he said, “not only
Russia but a number of other na
tions are proceeding vigorously
toward the development and con
struction of nuclear merchant ves
sels of their own.
“Under our open policy of shar
ing nuclear know how, these other
countries are able to proceed with
all the knowledge we have gained
on our first ship.”
The keel of the first atom-pow
ered U. S. merchant vessel, the
Savannah, was laid last May 22.
But Bonner said legislation for the
ship was introduced four years ago
and the Savannah will not make
her maiden voyage for at least
another year.
He asked Strauss to make rec
ommendations to the commitee.
