SAND FENCE MATERIALS
STOLEN; PIRACY REVIVED

To The Editor:
In the year of 171S, the notori-
Gus pirate Edward Teach, generally
called Blackboard, was over
taken, captured and slain here at
Ocracoke, by Lieut.. Maynard of the
Royal Navy. Thus ended piracy
along Atlantic coast, but it appears
it has broken out again. Just re-
Gently the sand fences, at least
one half of them, erected last year
by the State and Federal govern
ment on the beach opposite the vii
lage have been taken by some citi-
zens here. l have been told the
sand fence project cost sixty thou
sand dollars. A rumor got started
that sand fences blown down could
be salvaged and used as fences
around the premises and homes of
the citizens here; but they did not
stop taking the fences blown down;
they took part of those that were
intact.
The sheriff of our county was
notified of same, and a notice has
been posted here stating that they
should be replaced Immediately.
Nothing so far has been done
about it; in fact a person here
called up the sheriff by phone, and
the sheriff stated the persons
would not be compelled to replace
them and as he saw it, nothing
could be done about it. About
three years ago the wreckage of
part of the ghost ship Deering
was taken from the beach here at
Ocracoke by person; and the
National Park authorities COM
PEELED him to replace it; Now the
sand fences erected to protect the
island from erosion and to build
up the beach which storm Hazel
and last years storms have caused,
should go unnoticed. Which is the
more important-the sand fences
or the ghost ship? 1t is the opinion
of the majority of the citizens of
our place, the sand fences should
Re replaced at once.

SUICIDAL RAT RACE
(Clayton Rand in
Gulfport, Miss. Guide)

DIR. Lemuel c. MCGEE, medical
director of the Hercules Powder
Company, writing in "Today's
HEALTH" American Medical Asso-
citation publication, claims that the
reason the American male lives
four years less than his woman is
on account of the "rat race" he
runs.
''The American male" he says,
"has been indoctrinated with the
philosophy that he must live, work
and play at dizzy pace; that he
can and should wade through all
emotional and physical situations
without flinching and without re-
Elections. He calls this pressure
on the American males physical
and mental strength the Suicidal
cult of manliness."
When our horse-and-buggy fore
fathers guaranteed, us "life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
they never dreamed we would be
spinning through space faster than
sound and slaughtering each other
on highways in horseless carriages.
We had thrown off the tyranny
of the King in 1776 and the yoke
Of taxation. There wasn't much
left to worry about, except Indians,
horse thieves and highwaymen at
home and pirates on the high seas.
There were two women to every
man then so men chased women
which kept them alive longer. Now
this eternal pursuit is reversed.
With the tyranny of bureau
cratic government, haunted by tax
collectors, pursued by women and
living beyond their means to sup
port government living way be-
yond its means, how on earth can
a man be expected to live as long
as God intended?
