HGtter0S Islanders Haze
Double Celebration For
The Christmas Season

RODANTHE, N. C., (P)-Hatteras
Island is windswept stretch OF
sand off the North Carolina coast
almost fOrsaken during most OF
the year, except at Christmas. That
holiday comes twice for the
people who live on the little is
land just south of the site of Sir
Walter Raliegh's Roanoke island
lost colony.
On Dec. 25, island folk join
the rest of the world in celebrations
marked by religious services, gift
giving and Santa Claus. They call
this New Christmas,
"Old Christmas" comes Jan
3. There's king-size oyster roast
dancing, merrymaking and a dash
of witchcraft when Old Buck drops
in for his annual call.
Wild Bull of the Woods
Legend has it that Old Buck
is the wild bull of Trent Woods
who leaves his home once a year
to look in on the DOnnybrOOk when
Hatteras Islanders observe "Old
Christmas" Actually, Old Buck is
collection of old bed Stats covered
with cloth and topped by a steers
skull which probably spends the
summers in an attic.
The Jan. celebration seems
to visitors to have little in common
with Christmas other than it's name
and decorations. With Old Buck
and the general air of hilarity, il
is more a combination of Halloween
New Years and Mardi Gras.
Once isolated Hatteras now has
a paved road running it's length, and
visitors from neighbOring islands
and the mainland join in the fun
on this island a short distance
north of Cape Hatteras, the grave
yard Of the Atlantic" where relics
of shipwrecks recent and ancient
are scattered on the sand
One with a lot to remember is
Daniel Bradford Payne, who has
missed only one celebration in
his seventy-nine years. Brad Payne
has an important part in the
holiday. He beats the drum passed
down to him from his grandfathers.
The drum, reputedly a relic from
warship carrying sail a century
or more ago. has been re-headed
several times through the years.
Mr.. Payne. who now lives on
neighbOring Roanoke Island, brings
it back here each year.
Day Long FeaSting
In his youth, Mr.. Payne re-
calls, the holiday began at day
break and lasted until after
nightfall. To the music of the
drum and homemade reed flutes
villagers would march the two
miles from Rodanthe to South
ROdanthe, now called Waves.

Wise Wives Skip
Office Parties
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY


AP NewsfeatUres Writer
We are now we'll launched into
the Yuletide season and it won't
be long before the entire nations
working fOrce-with the possible
exception of a few chairmen of the
hoard here and there-will be suck
ed into a forced draft called, for
lack of a better name, the Office
Christmas Party.
For every husband attending an
Office Christmas Party there is a
wife wondering just how on earth
to cope with this annual problem.
Filing Cabinet Fling
Some Office Parties are rather
simple as far as decision is con-
cerned. The Informal. Office Christ
mas Party is one which has all the
earmarks of infOrmality, and is pri-
marily conducted in and around the
filing cabinets and is limited to
office personnel.
The only decision possible for
the little woman whose husband
must be a party to an Office Party
is that of her reception of him
when he finally comes stumbling
home, just possibly with lipstick
on his shirtfrOnt. and almost GER
tainly with a pretty silly look on
his face.
LipStick On Shirts
She can be either cold or under
standing-and my advice, as a
longtime attendant of office parties,
is for her 10 be understanding, par
ticularly if her husband happens
to be the Boss or the Shy Type.
Both of them are fair game at
Office Parties, whatever the season,

Don't Be A BOOzer---
You May Be A Loser

BOOzers are lOsers-so if you
drink, don't drive!
That warning to holiday cele-
brants was issued today by Reynolds
du Pont, President of the Delaware
Safety Council, because drinking
contributes to the traffic accident
toll which reaches a peak at the
end of the year.
The National Safety Council re-
ports that $50 persons were killed
in yuletide traffic accidents last
year-the largest Christmas holiday
toll on record. Delaware contributed
3 traffic deaths to this toll from
Christmas Eve through the follow
ing weekend.

There is a mystery surrounding

from head to foot in something
that looks like a Halloween cos
tune. By tradition, nobody knows
who he is. If they do they don't
talk about it. The mystery man and
Old Buck throw quite a scare into
youngsters on the sidelines, but
they always go over big.
Old and NeW-Style Dates
Some visitors connect the second
holiday with Epiphany. the festi-
val of the Wise Mems visit to
Bethlehem, although that falls on
Jan, g. Others speculate that it
dates from the shift to the
GregOrian calendar days from the
Old-style calendar

Ocean on one side and PamlicO on
the other, has received changes

Howard Hughes has fashioned
another violent melodrama for
the addicts of this type of un-
restrained emotion in Devils
Canyon" now at Keith's.
This one, which is in Sd
Technicolor, takes place in the
Arizona Territorial Prison at the
end of the 10Th century. The
story concerns itself with a psy-
cho killer, played by Stephen
McNally, who is trying to break
out of prison to get revenge on
the man who is responsible for
him being there. There is not
much breaking out to do because
the man who sent him up
played by Dale Robertson, is in
the same prison serving time for
a gun fight.
The suspense of the drama,
of which there is some, is in
volved in keeping the two men
apart and leading up to the final
prison break.
Virginia Mayo. cast as the
only woman in the film. portrays
a prison nurse, who is at first
enamored of the killer, but later
switches to Robertson.
Alfred Werker directed the
drama. which was written by
Friedrich HaZlitt Brennan, from
a story by Bennett r. Cohen and
Norton S. Parker.

them if they are as good as the
