RARELY SEEN ANGLER
FISH CAUGHT IN DARE

Mays Head.-One of the rare
species of fishes taken on the
Dare coast is the Angler. Locally,
on Hatteras and Ocracoke it is
called an "All-mouth" because the
creatures mouth with its fringe
of vicious teeth is usually wide
open when it is hauled to the sur
face, when an angler has had the
misfortune to hook one of these
bottom feeding fishes.
1t has no scales; instead, a
leathery-like skin covers its body.
From the top of it's head extend
two hair-like tenacles, each with a
leaf-like fin on the end.
When this strange fish lies on
the bottom of the sound or sea it
extends the leaf-like tenacles in
front of its open mouth and they
wave back and forth. The idea for
that is to attract other fishes
which see the lure but do not see
the gaping mouth of the Angler
fish.
AS the small fish follows the
leaf-like lure into the mouth OF
the Angler Fish, the gaping jaws
close and another underwater meal
has been served.
Nap Cassidy of Gulfport, Miss,
landed one of the Angler fish at
Oregon Inlet last week. After
bringing it to the docks it was
thrown overheard.

VILLAGE LIBRARY WEEK
OBSERVED AT HATTERAS

HATTERAS-National Library
Week is being celebrated April
1918, a fact of which we must
surely be aware by this time. We
have been bombarded with the
best kind of propaganda know OF
with the slogan "Wake Up and
Read" although it is inconceivable
that any thinking individual now
adays should need a slogan or
paid commercial to make them
see the necessity of reading. There
are still some who seem to de-
light in boasting of not having
read book in years-and they are
sad indeed. 1t would be under
standable had these poor souls
first read Nevil Shute's "On the
Beach" in which Mr.. Shute so WV
idly portrays the complete extinc-
ton of life on our planet. This
book cannot be dismissed with the
statement that these are just SIM
ply the meanderings through fic-
ton of an overworked imagination,
since this is the same author who
so accurately predicted a good
many of the devastating things
which beset our harried global
population during the second
world war.
But we can't live an ostrich-like
existence as we sit by awaiting
our kismet. In fact right now
there might possibly be some indi.
vidual browsing through a musty
library who will find the answer
in averting this terrible destiny
1t could be you.
It is said that the creates
things in life are free, and certain
ly not the least of these fret
things is contained in our public
Libraries. And so, let us all re
solve not only during N. L. w
but every week to Wake Up ant
Read. It will make for better
and happier existence for all of US

Often as not there is some

why things seem to be going te

For example: to make straw

the mixture hard for one min

from heat, and stir in one-half
bottle of liquid pectin. Skim
off any foam that forms. Let
stand five minutes, then pour
the mixture into clean jelly
glasses, and cover with hot par

six-ounce glasses.
To make strawberry preserv-

Milk Gives Pep
In Hot Weather

Good drinks made with milk
fit into meals and into between
meal snacks, especially in hot
weather when appetities falter,
says Florence Y. Smith, county
home demonstration agent.
The cold, favored beverages
include eggnog and milkshakes
favored with molasses, banana,
strawberry or other fruit puree
as we'll as the familiar choco-
late, vanilla, spices, or maple.
For those hungry, active,
growing youngsters, add an eX-
ira scoop of ice cream to the
milk beverage, Mrs. Smith sug-
gests. If there's need to keep
calories low, make favored bev-
erages with skim milk-fresh, dry
or evaporated.
The double milk drinks are
made by adding dry milk to fluid
milk and thus stepping up the
milk value. Ingredients for |
serving of molasses milk, for ex-
ample, are: A tablespoons dry
milk; pinch of salt; | cup fluid
milk; tablespoon molasses.
Mix dry milk and salt; mix fluid
milk and molasses. Add dry in
gradients to liquid and beat, stir,
