our national thinkers, especially
if they is in Congress, but their
plan won't work.
The less / eat, like one of
them advises, the less resistance
I'm going to have to quit buying.
I'll git so weak from eating less
that ever time l pass the grocery
store I'll go in and git me can
of sardines and I'll feel so good
after eating them sardines I'll
buy my old lady new kettle or
somepun.
l could figger out somepun
better'n that, in fact was about
to solve the problem when my
neighbor came up and demanded
his paper. Incidentally, that's
one thing that's wrong with this
country, people demanding their
rights and putting property
above charity and enlightenment.
Well, since l didn't git no pa
per this morning, l set down and
started looking at our church
magazine. The first thing l seen
was a piece headed Minister
Hits Girls Bathing Suits" We
need that Teller in the Army.
Anybody that can hit such a
small spot is a real marksman.
The piece went on to say that
you could judge a girls charac-
ter by the bathing suit she had
on. Frankly, Mister Editor, l
don't think there's enough there
to make a Judgment possible.
Yours truly,

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:

There's one thing in this
world fer shore. No big league
baseball pitcher will ever come
from them fellers that throws
out these daily newspapers to
the subscribers around the coun-
tryside.
1 bought me a pair of field
glasses off'n soldier after the
war SOS l could look fer mine
better. The Teller that throws
my morning paper out has got
lumbago in his throwing arm
and plain cussedness in his
heart. Some mornings he throws
it up on top of my silo and some
times he throws it down the
chimney and some mornings he
throws it so good l amt never
found it. One morning when l
was a day late paying him, he
throwed it in my neighbours hog
pin down the road.
l clumb up on top of the house
this morning with my field
glasses and looked good fer it
but | reckon he launched this
one up yonder with them satel-
lites. So l stepped up the road a
piece and picked up my neigh
boris and started reading it.
The first piece | seen was
where a couple Congressman
was giving their views on how
to beat these high prices. One of
'em said the way to beat the
high cost of food was to eat less.
The other one said the way to

@ L !. M P S E S
OF
TIL E P A S T
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

If you are tired of sordid lit
erary pictures of the South, such
as Goods Little Acre" and "To-
bacco Road; and if you don't mind
being caught reading a child's
book, let me recommend a
delightful way to spend ten
or fifteen minutes. Pick up a
copy of "Roberta E. Lee, by
Burke Davis, and if you can't find
child to read it to, just read it
to yourself.
Mr.. Davis is a North Carolinian
and has written several erudite
books, including two biographies,
"They Called Him Stonewall" and
"Gray Fox" Roberta E. Lee" has
it's setting in North Carolina,
specifically Barefoot County; and
here are parts of the whimsical de-
scription of our state:
even when storms blow in
from the North, the weather is
not bad. 1t just drips ham gravy
over everything-the most dee-li-
cious rain on earth. All the bicycle
paths are downhill, both ways.
They have put "ain't" in the die
tionary. The drinking water is so
good that it has made all the girls
pretty, even school teachers, and
there are no old maids"
Even better than the rest of
North Carolina, according to Mr..
Davis, is Barefoot County, where
mo child will get out of bed in
the morning until his mamma
brings him a dasher from freezer
of ice cream"
Barefoot County, incidentally, is
the rabbit capital of the world
and Roberta E. Lee is young
lady rabbit. Her one ambition is
to win a beauty contest.
The satire in the book will es-
cape children, perhaps, but no
grownup could fail to comprehend
that the author has a low opinion
of beauty contests.
Many children's books today are
designed to teach as well as to
entertain, and they do it without
being "preachy." Such a one is
the latest of the DR.. Seuss series,
"Yertle the Turtle, title which
should intrigue even the most re-
luctant reader.
Yertle, the Turtle King, decided
he couldn't see enough from his
throne on stone in the pond, so
he ordered nine turtles to build a
new throne by standing each on
the back of another. This gave
him such a kingly outlook and
feeling Of power that he ordered
two hundred turtles to make the
throne higher. For a long time
they didn't dare to protest, but
finally, Mack, a little turtle at the
bottom of the pile, ventured to
complain that they were all tired
and would surely starve to death.
Yertle paid no attention; just or
dered them to make his throne
higher. Well, the upshot of the
thing was that Mack burped, and
that burp from the plain little
turtle at the bottom of the pile
brought the throne and Yertle
tumbling down into the mud.
It's a safe bet that no Russian
child will be allowed to read about
Yertle's downfall. One of them,
when he is grown, just might re-
member the power of that burp.

LADY SCRIBE FROM PENNSYLVANIA
ENCHANTED BY VISIT TO OCRACOKE
An Entertaining Recital Of Impressions of the Outer Banks BY
Reporter From the News Tribune of Beaver Falls Pa

Ruth lends a hand with waitress
duties and is ever ready to tell
visitors some of the lore of the
island.
A map of the village sold by
the PTA for a nickel was the
best buy of our trip. Before our
stay was over we had explored
every road, visited the coast
guard station, the old Navy
ammunition dump and Springer's
Point, etc. 1t was off Springer's
Point that the pirate Blackboard
operated. His real name was
Edward Teach and he was final
ly caught off OcracOke by the
British Navy and was beheaded
in a hand-tO-hand fight. Legend :
says his powerful body, swan
headless seven times around the
ship before it sank!
Asphalt roads built by the Navy
during World War II circle the
village but the meandering sandy
lanes and paths lead to adventure.
No vehicles but those with four
wheel drives can use such lanes.
Along them, the little homes face
all directions it's seems, and most
of the islanders aren't too busy
for a chat. The yards are fenced,
for the most part, to keep out the
ponies and to protect the little
family graveyards in many of
them.
Burial Fund
Burials follow the day after
deaths in Ocracoke, since there is
no embalming. The Civic Associa-
ton collects a quarter from each
resident of the town Immediately
after a death, and the money is
given to the family which the
Great Reaper visits next. Many
of the old gravestones have unique
inscriptions. The areas oldest resi-
dent was an Ann Howard who
died at the age of 1T, if the years
1724-1841 on the tablet are correct.
In one small cemetery is per-
petuated the memory of four
British sailors who were washed
ashore from Inns Bedfordshire
May IA, 1912. That was at the
height of the German submarine
campaign off Ocraeoke and their
vessel was sunk with all hands
lost. Tender hands inferred the
bodies and crosses were erected on
their graves.
About half a hundred of the
towns 500 residents are retired
coast guard men, who have served
their country up and down the
treacherous shoals. Several scores
of young men from the "banks"
serve in the coast guard and many
are stationed at "home" stations
since their knowledge of the area
is so complete. Boys grow up with
no dreams of being policemen or
firemen. Most of them aspire to
become coastguardsmen like their
fathers and uncles and brothers.
Ocracoke has no fire department,
no Jail, no doctor, no hospital, no
town government. Accustomed for
years to their own independence,
the residents have not felt a seri-
Gus lack through being left to
their own resources.
