BEAUFORT, S. C.-Sea islands
as yet little known to the public
are receiving growing attention
from prospective summer visi-
tors who try for something diff
ferent in vacations
Three of these, EdiSto, Hunt
ing, and Hilton Head Island
the latter one of the largest sea
islands on the Atlantic coast
offer miles of beaches largely free
of the usual worldly accompani-
mentS of ocean vacations. Be-
cause accommodations are still
rather limited, visitors are being
advised to seek reservations early
or plan to stay in nearby COM
munities.
Hilton Head, opened only last
year after 300 years of closed
plantation ownership. is consid-
cred the outstanding beach facil-
ity to be made public in 20
years. A 30,000-acre island, it
lies Just southeast of Beaufort
across Port Royal Sound from
the famous Paris Island Marine
base.
Cottages for Rent
Here some rental cottages and
efficiency apartments have been
opened. and others are under
construction along the IS miles
of wide beaches.
The area has many historical
and scenic aspects. including
Fort Walker, seized by Union
forces in 1862 and held through
out the Confederate War.
Majestic palmetto trees reach

been attracting saltwater fisher
men.

Usually the Christmas bells are already peallng
u,ben Chanukah rolls around. This year, by a
ourk of the calendar, the dreidl will be spinning
before the bells herald the coming OF our neigh
bors season of festivity Yet no doubt there will be
some in our midst who will revert to the seasonal
nrattle of synthesizing the two occasions.
There is nc denying the spirit of good will that
;s generated by the Christmas holiday but it seems
IN me that the custom amongst some OF us at this
time of the year to try to find synthesis or a
common denominator between Chanukah and
Christmas is not only denial but very pro1ana-

Young Sol Blank had just found

he had landed at New York out
of his native Germany. and here
he was already about to make a

This was eart-breaking for
Sol who had been brought up in
a very Orthodox household at
Lendershausen in Bavaria; it was
like profaning the Torah in the

to crumble and fall to pieces.
Bat what's a boy TO do at a mo-

start In new land? Well. maybe
the only thing was TO do as
Blooningdale wanted him to do;
you might say if was like being in
Home and having TO do in Rome
as the Romans did. So young Sol
took the job. went TO work that
Saturday.
