Mr.. and Mrs. Tichenor stayed at
Sound Front Inn. Mr.. and Mrs.
w. T. Boos have received a letter
from Mrs. Tichenor which says,
eve have started to plan a trip
in June to Ocracoke; we are just in
love with the place.
OcracOke Island Weatherbound
Ocracoke Island was "snow-
bound" for several days; not quite
in the sense of Whittier's famous
poem, "Snowbound," but by high
winds and rough seas since Satur-
day morning, and Monday of last
week by sleet and ice, which are
quite uncommon here. But this
gave everyone a chance to stay
home by the fire. and keep warm,
or the fishermen a chance at good
hunting on bad day. Most of the
children got out to school in the
morning-the more sleet and ice,
the better they liked it-and were
soon slipping around on the play
ground.
Last mail to reach the Island
was on Saturday afternoon week
ago when the Hatteras mailtruck
came in; access from Atlantic on
the South has kept the regular
mailboat Dolphin" from running.
Just at dusk on Saturday after
noon a small fishing boat made
the trip over to the Island bringing
four enthusiastic hunters. Six
others decided not to risk heir lives
on stormy waters and went on to
Cedar Island for their hunting. We
hope the hunting here is better
than it is on Cedar Island so they
will come here next time.
Fortunately our freight boat, the
"Bessie Virginia." came down from
Washington, N. C. on Friday so
we have good supply of food on
hand. But fresh milk and bread
soon ran low. Plenty of water, how
ever!

coke last week. Friday, staying

working with the surveyors when
the Irrigation Project was sur
veyed in the early l900's and the
townsite of Sidney in 1908. Sidney
at that time had been an estab-
lished p~ostoffice and small store
with the name Sidney for is
years. The postoffice was estab-
lished in 1888 and the town was
named Sidney at that time in hon
or of Sidney Walters, the small
son of a Walters family who were
working at the time for Hymie

The picnic was concluded with
a wonderful time of reminiscing
and many fine old relics were
turned over to Mrs. Bailey Fisher
for exhibit at the Old Settlers
Fair booth at the Richland County
Fair. Many of these should be pre-
served in a museum and the
thought occurred to many present
that Sidney should have a place
set aside for that purpose.

fine and feeling good in spite
of the fact that l spent three
days outside this last week in a
typhoon. We were in a training
camp so miles from I'LL barracks
when the typhoon hit. 1t blew
all of our tents away the first
day and for the next two days
we had no shelter from the
storm. A few boys were hurt a
little but we we're lucky that
it didn't turn very cold. We
stood in the rain and wind
soaking wet for about 48 hours
before it let up enough for us
to get trucks on the road. We
got back here at midnight Thurs
day and that bed was the only
birthday" present l want" (Note
= this letter was in nswer to
a birthday letter from Capt.
Gladowski's mother).
