Weather permitting. you will
be able to see the celestial drama
of a total eclipse Of the moon
tomorrow night.
It's q good show, If only be-
cause you can see the result Of
one heavenly body getting in be-
tween two others after moving
about the universe at tremendous
distances from one another.
In this instance, the earth will
be between the sun and the
moon. The moon will pass
through earth's shadow.
The eclipse will begin at $40
pm. At that moment the moon
will enter the penumbra, or par
tial shadow, of the earth.
Total Eclipse Starts at S:17.
The period of total eclipse,
when the moon is in the full
shadow, or umbra. begins at GIT.
That phase will be over by 9:47.
Then there will be the penumbra
phase again, and the show will
be over by 1924 am. Tuesday.
Even in the period Of total
eclipse the disc of the moon
will be visible. This is because
some light from the sun Is re-
fracted. or bent. around the
earth by the atmosphere. The
earth'S atmosphere absorbs blue
and green rays from the sun.
But the red rays infiltrate the
atmosphere and reach the
moon. giving Lady Luna a cop
perry hue.
During the non-total early
and late stages. the hidden parts
Of the moon may seem darker
than during the total period.
This Is because the brightness
Of the uneclipsed part tends to
drown out the red cast.

bility of providing adequate

PORT SECURITY CARDS
NOW GOOD FOR 6 YEARS

Norfolk, Va. - The U. S. Coast
Guard announced that some
32,976 Port Security Identified
ton Cards it has issued in the
Fifth Coast Guard District over
the past three years are valid for
a period of six years from the
date of issuance instead of two
as indicated on the reverse side
of the cards.
Since three years have elapsed
since distribution of the cards to
waterfront workers and fisher
men first started, and thousands
Of cards have already expired and
been renewed, the Coast Guard
doesn't think it is appropriate or
necessary to continue re-issuing
the cards every two years.
The port security card program
is designed to weed out poor
security risks from the nations
important waterfront areas and
facilities by issuing the cards only
to persons cleared by investiga-
ton.
Though possession of a port Sc
curity card is not mandatory, per-
sons not having them may be
kept from work in the event
waterfront areas are restricted by
the Coast Guard for national Sc
curity or safety reasons.
Applications for the port Sc
curity cards can be made at card
offices at 433 w. York ST., Nor
folk; Coast Guard Moorings, Will
mington, N. c., and in the APP
praisers Stores Building, Balti-
more.

TO CONTRIBUTE BLOOD

Mrs. Dorothy Drinkwater Cox
of Manteo, executive secretary of
the Dare County Chapter of the
American Red Cross, has issued
plea to all Dare citizens for
cooperation in the blood-giving

urgent need for blood for use in
the polio research program and
other worthy causes. J
On next Friday, February 5,
chance will be given anyone
who will donate blood, when the
bloodmobile will be in Currituck.
Mrs. Charles Marshall of Manteo
has volunteered to see that trans
portation is provided, and any
one willing to go may call her at
Manteo 29-J. The hours will be
from 10 AM. until four PM. No
appointment is necessary, and the
entire process will take only
about 40 minutes. The quota for
Currituck is $50 pints, and the
help of Dare Countians is needed
to make this possible. The blood
mobile does not come to Dare.
Persons between the ages OF
ID and 81 will be required to
have written permission from
their parents, with the exception
of those who are married or who
are in the Armed Forces.
