PILOT WHALE ASHORE
ON HATTERAS BEACH

HATTERAS.-A small pilot
whale measuring about IL feet
from tip to tip was beached here
this week during stormy weather
offshore. It is the first of the
species to be reported ashore along
the coast since last spring when
several were frightened and driv-
en- onto the beach between Mays
Head and Oregon Inlet.
The small whale on the beach
here was discovered by Theodore
O'Neal. Locally the blunt-nose
specimen is called "blackfish."'
They travel in sizable herds off
the coast during the late autumn
and winter months and when
frightened they often hit the beach
They have very small eyes on eth
er side of their large blunt heads,
and because they are unable to see
very well is said to be the reason
they often come ashore, sometimes
living for day or two on the dry
sand before dying.

GEESE BLACKEN DUNES
OF OUTER BANKS

Duck.-There was time
when the Canadian wild geese
did all of their feeding in the
sounds and marshes along the
coast. Then they started feeding
in dryland fields and in Cur
rituck and other counties of East
Carolina bordering fresh water
sounds and lakes many farmers
became hunting guides during
the wildfowI season.
Now the geese have Leaned a
new trick which may not put
them out of range of hunters
guns, but it at least gives them
Ia chance to see approaching hun
tiers, and thus they have a bet
ter chance for survival,
The wild geese of Currituck
have gotten in the habit of land
ing on top of treeless and grass
less dunes along the Outer banks
between Duck village and the
Virginia State line. Not just a
few hundreds, but thousands of
geese sometimes alight on one
dune until the dune is blacken-
ed with the geese.
From atop the dunes the geese
are on a perfect Iokout to see
approaching hunters and usual
ly a flock will take off in flight
before a gunner can come with
in range.
Since most of the dunes are
located on cunning club lands,
Me average individual, unless a
member of the various clubs in
the area are not permitted to
hunt or shoot the geese while
they are resting on top of dunes.
Since there are no roads in the
area between Duck and the Vir-
ginia line, the average hunter
has difficulty reaching the dunes
which can be approached only
by boat and to land a boat on the
Banks shore of Currituck it is
usually necessary to follow a
channel to a club house landing,
where hunters are told they can
not shoot on the dunelands.

WHAT ARE WE DOING
TO HELP THOSE
LESS FORTUNATE?
(COntributed)

The Christmas season is the time
of the year when we pause to hon.
or the birthday of the Christ-child,
and to express our appreciation to
our many friends who have helped
to bring a little happiness to our
less fortunate.
Last December, a 13-year old
Paines Hollow boy heard the ap-
peal in his school for contributions
for Santa Claus Anonymous, which
provides gifts for less fortunate
children. The boy saved his PEN
MES until the Friday before Christ
mas vacation and had Is cents. He
intended turning it in at school
that day, but because of a blizzard
the buses didn't run. So he walked
all the way to school to give the
money to the principal. If the
principal had to swallow hard as
he accepted the boys dime and
five pennies it's understandable
the youngster was one of those on
the list to receive gift from San
ia Claus Anonymous. Surely this
boy had the true spirit Of giving.
But what are we doing here in
our community, in our county, to
make Christmas a little brighter
for our less fortunate children ?
We, the Walfare Department, once
again stand ready to cooperate
with the county organizations and
individuals who wish to have our
help in bringing Christmas cheer
to the less fortunate citizens here.
In previous years many have asked
US to help them channel their gifts
to people in need and we have
been able to be of service to sug-
gest those in greatest need and to
avoid duplication. AS a part of our
responsibility here in the Welfare
Department, we come to know the
needs of many who cannot provide
the extras which make Christ
mas. "As always we want to work
with groups as they may need
our assistance in either planning
or carrying out some project for
the benefit of the people who can
be cheered by some wisely PLAN
ned giving at this season., Mrs.
Meekins, Superintendent Of Pub
lie Welfare of this county, stated.
She further said that the depart
ment will accept donations Of food,
clothing, toys, fruit, and cash and
will distribute these where they
are most needed.
Can we count on you? Let's get
in the spirit of Christmas and
make it cheerier for the less for
tunate people in our county. We
are requesting that all gifts do
mated by you, the individual, or by
clubs as a whole be brought to the
department by the 18th of this
month.

SWAN AND SNOW GEESE
PLENTIFUL ON COAST

Swan and snow geese are plen-
tiful in coastal waters from Cur
rituck Sound southwark this
year. These two wildfowl species
enjoy complete protection during
the open season for other species
of wildfowl.
L. B. Turner, in charge of Pea
Island National Wildlife Refuge
between Oregon Inlet and Ro-
danthe stated this week that sew
eral thousand Greater Snow
Geese had arrived at the Refuge.
'For three years the great flock
of this species arrived on No
vember 26, but the refuge popu-
lation of snow geese was still not
at a peak on Tuesday. Turner
said.
This, he indicated, was no
cause for alarm because the spe-
cies have been reported in large
flocks in upper Currituck Sound
and Back Bay. Approximately
$4,000 snow geese spend about
six weeks at Pea Island Refuge
each winter. They are usually
the last wildfowl to arrive at the
refuge and the first to leave. Us
ually by mid-January the flocks
have started their leisurely mi
grafton northward.
Swan are as plentiful this year
as last in Currituck, one of their
principal feeding grounds along
the Atlantic Flyway. A few hun
Idred swan also winter at Pea
Island and Mattamuskeet.
While swan have enjoyed pro-
lection from hunters for many
years, old time guides along the
coast still place a few swan de-
coys out with their Canada geese
