PRELUDE TO FOREVER
HATTERAS ISLAND NOVEL
Pat Strawbridee Carsen's New Book
Published in New York; A Love
Story Of the coastIand

prelude to Forever" is the
name of novel recently published
by Greenwich Book Publers, 489
Fifth Avenue, New York City; the
price $3.50. 1t was written by Pat
Strawbridge Carson, a North Caro-
linian, now married and living in
Massachusetts,. Her book is report
ed as having been two years in the
writing, although she had been
planning it for long time.
The book is piece of easy read
ing but to one native to the area
it doesn't have the ring. The SINH
larity of names, places and condi-
lions are not similar enough. One
would have had to live a long
time in the locality to capture the
atmosphere and the moods the
book deserves to portray. Conse-
quently it will read more interest
ingly to one who does not know
this great and fascinating country.
Prelude to Forever attempts to
tell of the people of coastal fish
ing village and the six New York
ers who came to vacation at their
hotel. 1t is a story of the impact
of an immemorial way of life on
the restless modern newcomers.
Subtly the characters reveal them
selves; each develops, is influenced
by the others as the days pass.
When a hurricane knifes into the
tight little community, villager and
outsider fight side by side against
it's made violence.
When it is over, the characters
find themselves profoundly chang
ed; the great storm has shattered
the past and resolves their indi-
vidual destinies. It might easily be
called fine piece of writing
handicapped only by its lack OF
authentic atmosphere.

GL P S E S
TIL E PA S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

Last week my class and many
others in school prepared boxes to
be sent to families unable to pro-
vide Christmas gifts for their chill
dren. Some students brought mon
ey, some brought fruit and canned
goods, some brought their own
treasured possessions. Whatever
they gave, they gave joyously, and
it made me proud of them to know
that they were making sacrifices
for someone they didn't even know.
Every year there is an objection
raised to helping some family be-
cause, as the objector says, they
don't deserve it. Perhaps the
father drinks or has thrown his
money away or is considered lazy.
Since when did little children have
to observe" a happy Christmas.
Is this the season to prove that
''the sins of the father are visited
upon the children? If so, the day
), which we celebrate is meaningless,
for Jesus was born to bring love
into a world that operated ON that
theory. Surely God did not send
His Son into the world because
mankind deserved him.
There are those, too, who would
! take Santa Claus out of Christmas.
Well, Pm glad they didn't get
around to it while l was child.
AS a matter of fact, it is adults,
not children, who let Santa crowd
Jesus out. Children have room in
their hearts for both, and when
they fail to grasp the true mean
ing of Christmas, it is generally
the fault of their elders. In our
home, Santa Claus was welcome
visitor every Christmas-but Sc
was the baby Jesus, and my moth
er made sure that we knew which
was the more important. There
may have been times when she
wondered if her teachings were
getting through to US, but she
never considered banishing Santa
Claus, and ] shall be eternally
grateful for the memory of many
happy Christmases. 1t would be
my wish that every child might
have such happy memories to
store away for the years when
loved ones are gone and the season
is tinged just a little bit with sad
ness.
My wish this Christmas Day is
that no child is sad because some
one thought his family undeserv'
ing or someone decided that Santa
Claus has no place in Christmas
For adults, including me, my wish
is that today and, always God vii
/ continue to be better to most OF vi
that we deserve.

GREAT HUNTING
PREDICTED FOR
NEXT TWO WEEKS
Old Hunters Say Plenty Of Birds.
Wiser Than Ever and Keeping
Low During Good Days

Tht wildfowl hunting season has
been a disappointment, many old
guides report, but not because of a
scarcity of birds. In fact, the gem
eral opinion is that there is
great concentration of geese, ducks
and brant on the reservations of
Mattamuskeet and Pea Island than
in some years. but apparently the
birds are wiser and more wary
than ever and fly comparatively
less, even on the blustery cold
days additionally associated with
greater activity aloft.
A series of days of mild wealth
er throughout the first of the sea-
son kept away many sportsmen
who know the futility of spending
time and money on the shooting
grounds in "blue bird" weather.
These hunters, out of long expert
ence, just won't come. A further
handicap this season was the sud
den change two weeks ago which
brought unusual cold, and heavy
snow upstate and in other states
whereby travel by car to this area
was considered too difficult and
risky.
With so many sportsmen having
been prevented from getting their
usual hunting vacation before
now, hunting guides at Ocracoke
Island, Rodanthe, Hatteras, Curri-
tuck, and the Hyde County main
land are now faced with . heavy
influx of business in the remain
ing ID huntings day of the season.
Indications, based on inquiries and
reservations for the remainder of
the season which ends January
18th is for big business. And
guides, who have been short
changed at the worst time of year,
prior to Christmas, will still well
come this business they would
have been so happy to have accom-
modated had it been stretched out
comfortably over the past six
weeks.

BONNER IRKED BY LAG
IN U. S. SHIP PROGRAM

Chairman Herbert C. Bonner
(D-NC) of the House Merchant
M arine Committee complained
Monday other countries are using
U. S. experience in atomic mer-
chant ship building but President
Eisenhower's administration has
not developed a follow-up program.
Bonner made public a letter in
which he told Secretary of Com
merce Strauss he understands
plans for advancing the applica-
ton of atomic energy to merchant
shipping are in the formulation
stage in both the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Department
of Commerce"
But, Bonner went on, "there
seems to be nothing firm in the
way of administration policy to
put these plans into execution"
Meanwhile, he said, mot only
Russia but a number of other ma
lions are proceeding vigorously
,, toward the development and con-
struction of nuclear merchant YES
sells of their own.
under our open policy of shar-
ing nuclear know how, these other
countries are able to proceed with
all the knowledge we have gained
on our first ship"
The keel of the first atom-pow-
cred U. S. merchant vessel, the
Savannah, was laid last May %.
But Bonner said legislation for the
ship was introduced four years ago
and the Savannah win not make
her maiden voyage for at least
another year.
He asked Strauss to make rec
concentrations to the committee.

PROTEST SENT BY
BOARD AGAINST
INSURANCE BOOST
Blanket Increase Opposed; Infor-
\ nation Sought on Fire Pro-
Y lection Advantages

The Dare County Board of Com
missioners ON Monday of this week
sent a protest to the Insurance
Department in Raleigh against a
proposed blanket rate increase now
sought by insurance companies to
apply in coastal areas, and which
would be highly discriminatory
against Dare County and other
like sections. The motion was made
by David Stick and seconded by
George Fuller.
Insurance rates now being
sought would mean heavy in
creases in cost to the people of the
outer banks areas. Extended cover
age would cost double the present
rate; rate which now is double
. that charged in some parts of the
state. The increase would carry
also a decrease in liability, where
by companies would not pay any
of the first 500 in windstorm
loss. The deductible is now $50.
The Board also directed the
Chairman to send a letter to the
insurance department and the fire
insurance rating bureau seeking
information as to the type of fire
protection measures which might
reduce insurance rates in rural
areas of Dare County. It had been
noted, the letter said, that some
districts in Nash County had re-
Nported saving up to 40 per cent
On insurance rates by acquiring
fire equipment.
The Board at this meeting APP
pointed David Stick to collect and
coordinate information requested
by the office of Civil Defense in
support of Beach erosion projects
proposed in Dare County.
The Board agreed to pay ex-
penses of Sheriff Frank Cahoon to
a school of instruction for Sheriffs
which is conducted at Chapel Hill
in January each year by the 1nsti-
tute of Government.
Other. Board Actions
Among other things done by the
board this week was to write a
letter to the Highway Department
urging action on much needed re-
pairs to the Hatteras Island road.
It sent $25 to- the Christmas fund
/ of Caswell Training school, Kin
ston; authorized revisions and in
creases in aid to the blind checks
as requested by the Welfare De-
partment, approved payment of
bills amounting to $5,059.96.
