BEARD GROWING BEGINS,
PIECES OF EIGHT APPEAR
FOR PIRATES JAMBOREE

Many males of the Dare Coast
land failed to shave on New Years
morning and silver dollars were
being handed out as change by
many of the merchants.
1t all marked the preliminaries
of the fourth annual Dare Coast
Pirates Jamboree, the vacation
season launcher which will be held
on the Dare Coast during a four
day period beginning April "a.
Neglecting to shave each morn
ing marks the beginning of a
beard-growing contest. Many males
of the area grow boards to place
in competition along with the
colorful costumes they will wear
hoping to win the title of "pirate
king" when the Jamboree is
staged. Some of the most luxurious
boards of the goth Century have
been produced by Dare Coast pi-
rates since the Jamboree began
four years ago.
Patterson j. M. Bayne of Mays
Head was selected as king of the
pirates last year. Still in that royal
role, he will be travelling over the
county learning why males may be
failing to grow boards. He will
urge them to start boards, and
Immediately, because it takes sew
eral weeks to produce one that
can be considered in the winning
class.
In addition to boards, many of
the merchants of the area will be
passing out "pieces of eight" in
the form of silver dollars as
change during the coming weeks.
The Bank of Manteo has stocked
plenty of silver dollars so it is no
problem for the merchants to have
them on hand.
For those who want genuine
'pieces of eight" same may be
obtained from various sources.

MANY NOTABLES TO
VISIT ODANTHE
OLD CHRISTMAS
Unique Festival Saturday. Jan. 4
Has Attracted Interest
Far and Wide

RODANTHE.-Because January
5, traditional date Of Old Christ
mas here in this Outer Banks Com
nnunity, falls on a Sunday this
year the celebrating will be held
on Saturday evening, January 4,
with only the religious phases TAX
ing place the following day at Fair
Haven Methodist and other church
es in the island communities.
The celebrating on Saturday
evening will be in the old Rodanthe
schoolhouse, now a community
building. Additional facilities have
been provided here that guests at
the celebration may be more CON-
Portable. This includes new benches
to provide seating for visitors, and
provided chiefly through the gen.
crosby of Miles Clark Of Elizabeth
City, Huntington Cairns and DR..
Fred Morrison of Washington, d,
c., and w. B. Voliva Of Belhaven.
Actually the celebration has
greatly outgrown the facilities
provided in the little community
building and there will be many,
perhaps who will be present but
unable to get inside. Merrymakers
on the outside will enjoy the oyster
roast which is held on the commu.
nifty building grounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Herbert, ma
tives of the community, will again
take the lead in providing the un.
usual program, local talent min
strel show, with the big feature
an appearance of Old Buck, the
legendary bull of Hatteras woods
which according to tradition ap.
pears only at Old Christmas cele.
brations to provide type of hilar.
ity that has been enjoyed by the
residents through the ages.
Several well-known and distin.
guished guests will be stopping al
Mirlo Beach Lodge while taking in
the festivities. These include Inglis
Fletcher, the novelist and Capt
John Fletcher, her husband; Mrs
Alfred Dupont of Wilmington, Del
patron of the .arts; Huntington
Cairns, director of the National
Gallery of Art, Washington, ant
Mrs. Cairns; DIR. and Mrs. Fred
Morrison of Washington, D. c., DR.
Richard Walser, professor of En-.
glish at State College; Andy ant
Barbara Griffith of Roanoke Island
and Hollywood, and others.
The observance of Old Christ
mas was widespread along the
North Carolina coast a half cen
fury or more ago, and was a sur
vival of old customs and traditions
brought from other lands by pio-
neer settlers of the coastland. II
gradually went out of style, and
now Rodanthe is the sole remain
ing community which continues to
observe it, out of respect and love
for the old customs Of a liberal
and friendly people.
