agreement-insofa as one huge
family can be in agreement about
a thing-that Rodanthe more or
less stole the honors in the after
moons pageantry. Their sketch
was built around the fact of the
Chicamicomico community's an
nual observance of Old Christmas
IL days after ordinary Christmas
and they just bundled up the
trappings that are normally used
for that occasion and brought
them along. The wide-spreading
bulls horns that simulate the leg
endary dragon have been in use
even longer than the traditional
drum, which has ben in use down
there since it washed ashore in
1914.
Young Lance Midget, one of
the two red-heads on that island
of blond nordics, was elected to
carry the drum. His ancestors
picked it up on the beach after
Capt. Otway Burns put an En-
glish frigate out of its misery in
the War of 1912. 1t still can and
did produce impressive sounds.
The simple sketch had native chill
dren explaining Old Christmas to
a somewhat snooty outlander, who
was played by Dalton O'Neal.
About thirty other boys and girls
in the community had parts in the
sketch, which was directed by the
school principal, Maurice Givens.
Other schools on the Island and
elsewhere in the county had local
! Iy-based sketches. Buxton Gram
mar School had an item based on
translation of a fragment from
the Spanish Archives which told,
under the date of 1857, of a battle
between a Spanish and British
ship off Cape Hatteras. The note
mentioned that Indians were Wis
ible atop neighboring "moun-
tain" and the sketch was dia-
logue of the comments of the In
dams. Avon's sketch was based on
recreation, mostly fishing and
hunting, and Hatteras Village had
its story based on the log book Of
nearby Durant's Coast Guard Sta
ton.
Colington-Kitty Hawk based
their story on the Wright Broth
ers, Mantee on the early settle
ment of the Island, Manns Har-
Dor the fishing industry and
Stumpy Point the religious life of
the county. Martin Kellogg, may
or and original Annanias Dare of
the Islands widely known pag-
cant, was narrator for the show
using a script done by Mrs. Vann
Ness Harwood, Dare County Ii
brarian.
More than 200 school children
and their parents came. up from
the Outer Banks, using any means
of transportation that was avail
able. Special buses, trucks, private
conveyances were used. One bus
stranded its passengers for a
while with broken axle but the
mail truck, following along, piled
them aboard and they arrived as
Leighton Dudley said, by parcel
post. But they got here in time to
get with their pieces that, per
haps for the first time in North
Carolina, took drama into the
home.

the country's widespread health
and social security program. In a
country where tasks are heavy
and hands are relatively few, care
of the human asset has received
considerable attention. Under the
National Health Program = func-
tioning now for over 20 years -
health insurance is compulsory for
all employees under a fixed in
come level and voluntary for all
other persons between the ages Of
Is and 20. Employers and en-
ployees, State and local authori-
ties, contribute to financing a pro-
gram which at the present covers
some 1000 of the populace and
provides full disqualification and
practically covers medical treat
ment. Sickness benefits are also
provided
Under the recently introduced
National Dental Program. free
dental care is available to all
young people between the ages of
g and Is. Accident insurance or

ers nearly all persons employed,
as do disability and widows pen

carriers are also covered under a
compulsory Unemployment Insur-
ance Program financed IL much
the same manner as the Health
Program. Old age pensions for
persons of 20 years or more, aid
to blind and crippled, and various
provisions for special occupations
make up one of the most advanced
social security programs in exist
ence at the present time.
