OCRACOKE BOWS

AND HIGH WINDS
Happy Island Gets Seldom
Greetings from King
Winter

Ocracoke, Dec. 11.-Not much
Ocracoke news in last weeks pap
er. Everyone here was showed I'M
der. Heavy rains, high winds, and
hurricanes we expect from time to
time, but snow and sleet storms
are always an unexpected novelty.
With visibility at the zero point,
neither mail route could operate;
no one could get on or off the Is
land. 1t was a real shut-in day,
which probably lot of people did
not enjoy, whereas others were
happy for time to spend on Christ
mas activities at home. There was
no shrimping or fishing, but from
the fact that several geese chung
high, the following day there was
evidently some good hunting. Too
bad some of those Mays Headers
who find our Island "Eventful and
Full of Surprises" weren't here to
experience some real isolationl
(By the way, we all enjoyed that
article by Mr.. Jordan; he and
Grace and Abe and Bessie evident
ly realize that the good things of
life are hard to get, but worth try
ing for. We hope that they will be
back at Ocracoke for another visit
as soon as they are sure the ferry
will runD School children enjoyed
the ice and snow, which stayed on
the playground north of the build
ing for two days after the storm.
There was much sliding on the ice
by everyone from first graders to
high school pupils, and rumor has
it the school principal was also
sliding around out there.
Showed under literally; also
showed under fguratively by
Christmas holiday practices, prep
arations and plans. Children in the
school are impatient for Friday,
December 18th, when school closes
for two weeks. There will be
Christmas parties in all of the
rooms on Friday afternoon. Christ
mas trees are at premium this
year due to the fact that Hurricane
Hazefs salt spray killed many of
them, but one ingenious teacher is
making good use of dying cedar
tree by spraying it with aluminium
for Christmas use. Also on Friday
there will be a program: songs,
recitations, pantomime of The
Night before Christmas, by the
primary children; a play by the
elementary girls, christmas Gifts
for Mother" and Feast of the
Candies" presentation by the Ocra-
coke Boy Scout Troop.
There are also the preparations
for the church programs (let's
hope no child will get his school
and church relations mixed upD.
On Thursday night, December %,
there will be a Christmas program
at the Assembly of God Church.
On Friday night, December "a,
the children of the Methodist
church will have a program. On
Sunday night, the choir of the

Not many people leaving the Is
land, but a good many Ocracokers
coming home at least for Christ
mas week end. Mrs. Lola Williams
returned last week, coming with
Mr.. and Mrs. Dallas Williams and
daughter, Anne Denise, who are
visiting Mrs. Wilma Williams.
John O'Neal of Philadelphia ar
rived last week to spend the win
| ter with brothers and sisters here,
staying with his sister, Mrs. Ell
nora Balance. His daughter and
her family accompanied him to
Ocracoke, but returned to Phlla-
delphia on Monday.
Rev. and Mrs. w. R. Hale left
Monday for Rocky Mount, plan
ming to return on Wednesday with
their son, who will visit here. His
wife plans also to come for the
week end.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. Wahab left
for Norfolk on Saturday, having
received word of the death of Mr..
Wahab's sister-in-law, Mrs. Cliff
ton Wahab. Mrs. R. S. Wahab had
just recently returned home after
visit with her father, j. N. Ed
wards of Belhaven, with relatives
in Surry, Wakefield, and Elberon,
Virginia.
Mrs. Mollie Bragg has been with
her son and daughters in Wash
ington, D. C. We regret to hear of
the continued serious. illness of her
son. Mrs. Bragg hopes to be here
for Christmas.
Clyde Farrow and Deanna, of
Washington, N. c., visited friends
here last week end. Clyde says
that Washington, N. c. sure is a
long way from the good fishing
and hunting he used to enjoy at
Ocracoke. But he gets back down
here whenever the opportunity
Ipresents itself.
Friends of Monford Garrish will
be glad to hear that he is home,
safe and sound, after hospitaliza-
ton at the Marine Hospital. His
operation there had nothing what
ever to do with his recent ducking
in Silver Lake, from which he has
also recovered. 1t seems that good
natured Monford had done consid-
cradle Dragging to his elders on
the store porch about his winter
aquatic sports, though no one had
ever actually seen him swimming
in December, until the day about
two weeks ago when he really did
get a winter-time shower. Dress
ed all up in long boots and hunt
ing gear, gun across his shoulder,
he happened to be standing in the
boat when Sid started the out
board. Splash! Overheard went
Monford. Up, up, up came the icy
water to his chest; down, down,
down went the icy water into his
long boots. Lucky he got some
lgood amphibious landing training
at Guadalcanal in World War H.
He gradually half swan and half
waded to the shore and safety, and
now neither George Washington
Jackson, nor anyone else can deny
that Monford does take winter
time dip. eyes, he went hunting
just the same.)
Miss Nora Edmondson plans to
make another air trip to visit
friends in Texas this vacation.
Miss Hodges will spend the holi-
days with her family in Hodges,

thaler plan to spend week with

u. 5. Note 10 Kremlin
Demands ST. Million
For Downing Plane

The United States yesterday
pressed Soviet Russia for an ac-
counting for q B-50 plane shot
down over the Sea of Japan July
90, 1853, or an agreement to SUBJ
NIT the dispute to the Court Of
International Justice.
In note, delivered by Ambas-
sador Charles e. Bohlen to the
Soviet Foreign ONCE in Moscow,
this Government presented q
formal diplomatic claim for $2,-
785, 1924 and demanded the re-
lease Of any survivors of the
B-50.
The lengthy note was the third
of its kind this Government has
submitted to Moscow in connec-
ton with attacks on American
planes. 1t was a legalistic docu-
ment which laid the basis for a
hearing before the World Court,
or failing that, an indictment of
Russia at the bar of public
opinion.
No Reply From SovietS.
Previous notes of this nature
have brought no response from
the Soviet government. The Rus
slams have never agreed to accept
the jurisdiction of The Hague
tribunal and the court cannot
hear a dispute unless the parties
submit to its jurisdiction.
The text of the latest note was
released by the State Depart
ment here. 1t charged the Soviet
government with making false
and misleading" statements re-
garding the B-50 incident and
sharply disputed the Soviet claim
that the American plane had
violated Russian territory and
opened fire on Soviet inter-
ceptors.
The note described as false
the Soviet statement that it had
no information about the B-50
crew members. The plane car
ried a crew of II. Three Of these
were killed In the attack or died
from exposure in the sea, one
was rescued by Navy search ves-
sells and the remaining 13 so far
have not been accounted for.
OF these Is, the note said:
The United States Govern
ment finds that q number,
II not all, Of them successfully
parachuted to the surface of the
Sea Of Japan in the area D.. in
which the attack took place. It
must be concluded that these
persons we're either picked up
alive by surface vessels of the
Soviet Government or that
In due course, dead or alive, they
were carried by the prevailing
currents to Soviet-held territory
and into the Soviet govern
ment's custody"
q. S. Demands Listed.
The note asked these dam
ages:
For the loss of the airplane,
$1,468, ,908.56; for damages to the
United States by "the wilful and
unlawful conduct of the Soviet
government" for Capt. John
Ernst Roche, co-pilot and the
only rescued survivor, $4,000;
for the death of Capt. Stanley
Keith O'Kelley, the pilot, First
1t. James Gordon Keith and
Master Sergt. Francis Luther
Brown, $150. 900, and for injuries,
death or "the wrongful and un-
lawful detention" of the other
13 crew members, $650,000.
Capt. Roche is a graduate of
