CHRISTMAS CARDS
Each Box Contain
Help for Children
CHRISTMAS CARDS

Who'd care to give IS Of
the worlds hungry children
q large glass Of milk every
day for a week?
It's simple enough.
You buy one box Of 10
UNICEF Christmas cards.
Supplying milk to hungry
youngsters is one of the ways
that the United Nations
Childrens FUND spends its
Christmas-card money.
With the proceeds from
five boxes Of cards, UNICEF
can obtain enough vaccine
to protect 800 children from
tuberculosis. or prevent Is
children from going blind
as a result Of trachoma.
The proceeds from 10 boxes
might be used for medicine
to cure six young victims Of
leproSy.
What UNICEF achieves in
physical well-being is only
half the story. A brief note
from a mother in the Philip
pines tells the other half.
She wrote. II am ignorant to
write but my heart is thank
ing"
There's a percentage in
this for the customer, too.
UNICEF cards are MASTER
fully designed by some Of
the best-known contempo-
rary artists-such as Matisse,
Duty, Bemelmans and Fras.

areas against storms, inundation
and erosion will depend on the de-
gree of resistance the beach eleva-
tions can maintain.
Thus only because of the COM
mon interest neighboring areas
share with us in the protection of
what is dearest to them, has it
been possible for Governor
Hodges to enlist the complete sup
port to bring his efforts to sue
cess. Let us too, bear in mind our
obligation to the leadership in
those areas, and that we must re-
main united in effort with them,
for any other course would create
Encouragement to this cause.
To Consolidate Forces
An opportunity is now present
ed, through Governor Hodges ded-
icated vision for the betterment of
the coastland, for the development
of vast program, susceptible only
of it's greatest possibility under
the coordination of efforts of sew
eral important agencies with a
single goal. A unity of effort, and
the use of the best thought of all
may achieve success in short
period. To this end, it is recon-
mended that all North Cardinals
agencies, the National Park Serv-
ice, the National Defense services,
the counties and towns of the
state, and more particularly those
Their Ell n located, assemble en-
masse, as it were, and evolve the
means of waging the battle with
united force, to eliminate waste
and duplication, to resolve policies
and approve procedures before
misunderstanding fling sparks to
ignite community antagonists, as
so often have happened to discred-
it, damage or destroy some of the
most worthy endeavors ever under
taken for the betterment of our
communities.
Only by cooperation may we
hope for success, and perhaps a
bigger success if representatives
of those who, within the area under
consideration are members of the
agencies which administer the pro-
gram. We believe there are people
whose days have been spent on the
ground who may have more of
value to lend this great cause,
than some others who may come
from afar, and be wiser in other

ways. We believe this view is
shared with the majority of per-
sons who live here. Whenever en-
cheering BRAINS persist in poll
cies based entirely on books and
graphs garnered from distant
places, but which observation and
experience leads practical man
of the coast to consider rank folly,
the cause and the program has
lost a degree. of force and influ-
ence that are essential to complete
success.
We entertain the hope and the
confidence that the kind of coop
Grafton we enjoin herein will be a
part of this program. And with
cooperation, there will be the de-
sire to carefully review all the
viewpoints of the various agencies,
adapting that which is most prac-
teal and bearing promise of
greatest gains.
The success of this undertaking
is, of course, primarily dependent
upon the extent of the time and
effort our people are willing to
put into it. We are also hopeful
and confident that at this time,
and faced with the dilemma as it
is, and having the opportunity and

1t is not equitable in our way OF
life for anyone in any community
to hold that one man alone ought
to contribute the full share of the
cost, nor even the major share,
This is a matter of individual
choice. In anything so big and i'm
portant, which has been given at
great cost by all the people, which
has been won by the efforts of
many people elsewhere, and is be-
ing rendered a single community
after almost no effort, on their
part, it is just that all should have
the pride and desire to contribute
something to the cause.
In the inception of the project
years ago, the late A. H. Ward,
who spearheaded the campaign
through many coastal counties,
most likely contributed first and
last of his own money more than
is now being sought to crown the
achievement which he never lived
to see. In the day coming, when
this harbor is complete, the Gov
ernor, the Senators, Congressman,
etc. will attend, and it will be
such a day as never before seen in
this coastland. There will be plenty
of glory for all, with proper rec
ognition for everyone who has
given of effort and time to bring
this benefit to the community, and
the name to be most remembered
that day is that of Alvah Ward.

protect, save and improve what
they have and who are willing to
share literally in the cause of
their labors and their resources.
8. The stability and the integri-
ty which will be a by-product to
merit in increasing measure as the
years go by, the interest and sup
port of national leadership and fl
nancial aid essential for continued
improvement, in the aid and de-
Ivelopment of an area whose worth
has been made secure.
4. AS the elevation and stability
of the long stretches of beach area
continues to improve, we will find
a constant diminishing of the tidal
forces that have heretofore been
dissipated and lost in rolling
across the land, when they should
have served mankind better by be-
ing forced to gush through the in
lets which have multiple useful
ness to all our people, one of the
greatest commerce, but particular
ly the enrichment of the livelihood
of the thousands of citizens de-
pendent on commercial fishing.
No one doubts that the waste of
water over our beaches, which have
become lower and lower through
the years, has been a costly con-
tributing factor to the shoaling of
the several inlets between sound
and sea.
Every informed person knows
that instead of being adequate for
the boats of today, the shoaling of
our inlets has presented new
barrier and a handicap to these
boats and loss in income to those
who man them. Our inlets through
the years have constantly de-
creased in value, instead of in
creasing, whereby their functional
value would have permitted the
development of a new and larger
class of trade from vessels now
obliged to contribute all their
products to distant ports at costly
loss of time and profit.
We must not lose sight of the
great support essential to this
cause from the far reaches of our
state and of areas in between be-
cause the program carried merit
to arouse the concern of all who
live in coastal areas beyond the
Outer Banks. The future protec-
ton that will be afforded these

silly praise that comes from stup-
id people who gush over you to-
day and kick you soundly tomor-
row the first time you find you
cannot agree with them.
| l would say to all who work for
causes, if you go into them ex-
pecting to be a hero, to be glori-
fed, to be praised and plastered
with baloney, then you are going
at it wrong. Today's praise is but
wisp of the wind, worthless to-
morrow, so forget about it L say,
if you see a job that needs to be
done, go out with conviction and
zeal that it is worthy; that it's
success will bring benefits to 9TH
ers unknown to us or who are yet
unborn. Go out, determined to car
ry it through to success without
regard to personal sacrifice, risk or
cost. And then in your heart will
always be that soothing glow that
overcomes the kicks and COM
plants from the stupid and en-
vious, who are incapable of the
finer instincts of life, including
gratitude.
Of all the things l have been
engaged in, have never enjoyed
any of them more than the job
during the past month of looking
up those people whose names were
necessary to make possible Dare
County's commitment to Uncle
Sam when we were begging so
desperately for the improvement
of our waterways during the past
ten years. 1t has been requisite
before the job could be let to
spend $750,0O0 for Wanchese har-
Dor that permits must be obtained
from many people in connection
with the dredging rights of way.
In looking these people up in Nor
folk l found old friends lost sight
of for many years. / learned about
their children and their successes
in life, and the nice homes and
jobs so many of them enjoy. l
came away rested after the long
conversations and "reminiscences
exchanged with so many of these
people. Messages had to be sent to
Texas and phone calls to New
York where l discovered other old
friends long cherished but long
unseen.
Although I plunged into a task
where misunderstanding and dis
courtesy had been disastrous be-
fore in an earlier stage, went
with a new slant, and happy spir-
it, and 1 paid no mind or memory
to the things that had been told
me, or were told me later about
the troubles had been caused, and
who caused them. All l saw were
friendly toward me; nowhere was
there a hint of resentment nor
discourtesy, nothing but the finest
cooperation, desire to help, and
an atmosphere that would convince
anyone that most human beings
respond to a good approach, to
courteous treatment, to an oppor-
tunitv to serve their fellowmen. l
say, of all my experiences in work
ing for causes, I have, through
these recent weeks, found immeas-
urable happiness in my feeble en-
deavors to bring about stage in
the history of the Wanchese har-
Dor project, whereby now it can
be made a complete success. The
final task yet to accomplish for
ultimate fulfillment is to raise
some money, and now someone can
take over from here.

bY, VICTOR MEEklNS
NEW EXPERIENCES ADD JOY
TO A FAMILIAR TASK
BIZ VICTOR MEEkiNS

During the past three weeks OF
more / have had many new ex-
periences in a kind of work with
which I have long been familiar
Somehow or other it has fallen to
my lot to work in many causes
throughout the years. Sometimes
have had the responsibility, too, of
raising money to finance the cause
l worked for. That have been
successful in these jobs in most
instances is not due to any espec-
ial ability, but to the fact that l
wasn't afraid to work at what the
job called for, but more particu-
larly to the fortunate circumstan-
ces that 1 usually had a good
cause to promote. When one has
something worthwhile in the way
of a cause to sell, it is not diff
cult to get wide-awake and pro-
gressive people to buy.
In my time have helped raise
a large part of the money to IL
nance two church programs, one
for building and one for charging.
NV name was not generally known
in connection with them. l have
mapped out programs for the rails
ing of funds for several celebra-
tions through the years, and
which have totaled many thous-
ands of dollars. Some of these eel
ebrations honored Virginia Dare,
old citizens and public servants,
old veterans of the Coast Guard,
the presentation of a watch to a
Congressman, the relief of an in
valid needing medical care to build
a home for a deaf and dumb man,
many times for the Democratic
War Chest, and numerous other
causes. My first experience was in
1926 when l energized the coHec-
ton campaign for funds to finance
the Dare County Homecoming
which brought to Roanoke Island
on Virginia Dare's birthday the
biggest crowd it had known up to
that time, and along with it Sir
Esme Howard, the British Ambas-
sador and principal speaker.
For a while 1 made numerous
trips to distant states seeking
wealthy people who might be in
clined to make gifts of lands es-
sential to the establishment of the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
l had some small success in this
interesting work, but quite unex-
pected and out of clear sky came a
gift not to the Government. There
was a man who liked me, and
who loved Dare County because
of the delights he enjoyed here
And because of some things others
too had done to make his stays
here pleasant, he gave Dare Coun-
ty a piece of land, rather than to
Uncle Sam. He said it was his
hope it would be used later for
the enjoyment and happiness OF
all the people of Dare County. The
officials later sold the land for
$4,000 and put the proceeds into
the new Jail, previously voted
down by the people by heavy
vote, and they added nearly as
much more to complete the job.
Some might raise eyebrows
were 1 to recite the list of causes
in which have been engaged, but
it is with no boasting spirit when
I mention them. 1t is to give be-
lated thanks to so many people
who have assisted me, who have
made my way easy, and from the
associations and the rich expert
ences and fine friendships that
have grown out of these under
takings, 1 have received something
more greatly treasured than the

standing will prompt us in a spon-
