TEXT: "Sadder than work Left

BY Fred Dodge

Some years ago an illiterates
but loyal, party member was
appointed Postmaster in a small
town. Some time passed, and
then the Postmaster General re-
ceived complaints that no mail
was being sent from this post
office. An inspector was sent to
investigate.
He asked the Postmaster why
no mail had been sent out. The
appointee pointed to a big and
nearly empty mailbag hanging on
hook in the corner.
81 amt sent it out" he said,
because it amt nowhere near
full yet"
We know newspaper men who
"some day" are going to write a
book or a story or a series OF
articles. They are competent,
skillful writers. They have exper-
fence and ideas. They are simply
waiting until the bag is fulP'
before they start. Newspapermen
are not alone in waiting. We are
all guilty. No one can guess the
total of worlds unconquered =
nor how much poorer mankind is,
because so many of us decided
to wait until the bag is full' be-
fore we sent out the mali that
we have on hand today.

The call of the Church Bell-to
worship our God;
We'd gather there-and kneel
down to pray.
The preacher would greet us
with handshake or nod
And tell us of Gods wondrous
way.
l can see the old Island in SUM-
shine bathed;
Hear the roar of the sea on the
shore;
See the glistening sand-by the
tide water loved;
Yes! these are memories Of
yore.
The long-billed curlews-that
strut on the strand;
The honk of the gander-to his
mate so coy;
The wonders of nature-and of
Gods mighty hand;
They TEEN on the Island fer all
to enjoy.
The Ocracoke Lighthouses
stately old tower,
Sends its beam out-for all
men to see.
1t will reach youth sunshine or

Guide you safely home under

So! long for the day--I'l re-
turn to the Island,
Where my ways were bent-to
the path 1 would tread,
Tho on many grave there now
grows a garland,
So many l knew-will have
passed and dead.
The eyes of my youth-have dim
med through the years,
But my memory recalls-all
the grandeur they saw
When / roamed DER the paths
without sorrow or fears,
Looking dazed at the scenery
no artist can draw.

MEMORIES OF
OCRACOKE ISLAND

BY CECIL ,. 6nAGG
recall the calm waters of the
Isles Silver Lake,
And the wharves-with the
boats moored thereto; =
The oar driven skiffs-with foam
in their wake;
And the skies-that forever
seemed blue.
The low water shoals, with the
oysters all bare,
A boat ebbed out on its side;
The spit of clam-with never a
care;
And the driftwood marooned
by the tide.
The aroma of yaupon, that pene-
trates deep,
And the marsh with its sharp
pointed rush;
The Myrtle wood bushes, where
Mocking birds sleep;
A sturdy oakland the song OF
a thrush.
The black bramble berry we kids
used to eat;
Our teeth from the juice
would turn blue,
The sharp pointed sand-spur-
that stuck in our feet;
Such memories could naught
but be true.
The Isles stores-were a place OF
amazement,
Where tall yarns were told
round the stove.
Where the men whittled-in just
plain content;
They were home and not rest
less-to rove.
The old school house stood tween
the bridges;
1t was known-as the Odd
Fellows Hall.
We approached it-from over the
ridges;
In my memory-'twas perched
on the Mall.
l saw sail boats-that went seek
ing shell fish;
Watched them return-filled
with oysters and clans;
Oft loaded-with finny tribe
bankers dish.
We'd have fried taters-corn
pone-and yams.
