UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES:
Don't Be Afraid of Your Job If You
Have To Keep Whistling in the Dark

Dear Mr.. Editor:
Up country when l was a boy
this was a time of great unrest
among some folks who were not
so well off as others. The roads
were full of carts and wagons
moving people from one farm to
another. Some people would be go
ing a long ways to other counties.
The tenant farmer had tougher
life in those days. When the new
year began, it was often period
of uncertainty with him; some
times he had hopes for the better;
sometimes he was driven to a new
home because the farm had been
sold and he had been let off by
the new owner.
We don't see so much of this
thing these days, now that farms
are run by machinery and so
many of the operators ride long
miles daily, to and from their
work. Actually, some of our farm
workers live, in towns.
We had another class of people
who were always troubled as to
what the new year had in store
for them. They were people who
worked by the month. Fishermen
hired their help in January; farm
ers also made deals for extra help
then. Men who had no regular
jobs were out looking for some
thing to do that would give them
the security of a regular monthly
wage.
Often through the year a fellow
would feel lot of concern about
getting his old job back. Some
clerks at Christmas time would be
afraid the merchant might let
them go if business had been bad.
/ have seen 'em come and go, but
/ always noticed that the really
good men were always kept ON, or
were able to get as good a job the
next day. You can always bet a
man who is really doing good
job never considers he must relw
on the help Of relatives or politi.
clans to keep him drawing a pay
check. The smart guy has no wor.
ries, and never has to whistle in
the dark to keep His courage up
at Christmas time.
Now Mr.. Editor, wish I could
get Il in to every young fellows

HATTERAS ISLAND
WOULD BUILD NEW
$4,000 CLINIC

William Gibson, treasurer of
the Cape Hatteras Health Center
this week said a study is being
made of plans for ways and means
to raise funds to build a small elm
ic to cost $4,000 or more to serve
the area. He appeared before the
County Board of Commissioners
seeking information on legal steps
to be taken, in event the citizens
wish to vote tax for construction.
The health center is now housed
in a former Navy building which
was given to Dare County. A reg
ular doctor is subsidized by the
Government, and the County con-
tributes $500 a year to the sup
port of the project, which has been
operated some ten years. The
health center had its origin, due
to some preliminary work done by
A. w. Drinkwater, Victor Meekins
and the late Walter G. Etheridge
of Manteo when by interceding
with the Coast Guard, two well
euipped infirmaries were given the
county for hospital purposes, at the
end of World War II. The one at
Kill Devil Hills was allowed to
come to nothing through local po-
litical maneuevers, but at Cape
Hatteras there was developed the
present facility which renders a
service.

head that he has nothing to be
afraid of except himself. A man
doesn't need to be afraid of any,
thing, if he is trying to do good
job. He doesn't need to be afraid
of any man if he is living up
rightly and is meeting his obliga-
tons.
Too many men nowadays are
afraid of losing their jobs. The
only men who aren't afraid are
men who belong to unions and out
of their blind obedience that their
union will feed them and has the
power to force their continued en-
ployment, walk boldly out on
strike, regardless of the damage
that results from their actions and
the suffering to be endured by

I8 COUNTIES WOULD
SUFFER IF HIKE IN
INSURANCE RATES
Situation Critical For Dare. Hyde.
Beaufort. TyrreII. Currituek
and Others

A proposed hike in insurance rates
charged in Is coastal counties, be-
ing sought this week by insurance
companies has posed an alarming
threat to the economy of these
counties, which include Dare, Hyde,
Tyrrell, Beaufort, Currituck and
others.
The rate increases asked would
double extended coverage, raising
it from 20 to 40 cents, and double
the deductible as far back as so to
60 miles inland against windstorm
and hail. This would be jumped
from $50 to 500 and would no
longer cover loss to paint and wa
terproofing.
Among visitors to Raleigh pro-
testing this rate sought by insur-
ance Companies was Mayor Thorn
as Chears of Kill Devil Hills.
Many other officials along the en-
tire length of the coast attended
this hearing before the State In
surance Department. 1t was point
ed out that II insurance companies
had withdrawn from writing bust
ness in this area, and not any of
them are expected to come back.
The situation is expected to
prove costly economically to the
counties affected, since few build
ings are erected on which loans
are not carried, and first requisite
in completing a loan is that ade-
quate coverage be provided for the
benefit of the lender.

TWO MORE ABC STORES
ASKED FOR THE BEACH

Although having been in office
less than a month, the Dare Coun-
ty ABC Board this week were
confronted with demands for OPEN
ing two more ABC stores in At
lantic Township. First was a let
ter from the Kill Devil Hills Town
Board which represented the town
of Kill Devil Hills as a central
point for a store and would serve
a large area of people.
The second request came in the
form of petition signed by about
100 people in the upper end of
Kitty Hawk Beach requesting a
store be established in the Low
throp building at the turn of U. S.
1873. Commissioner Curtis Gray of
the Board is reported as favoring
this location.
Chairman Leigh Hassell said
the requests had been taken under
advisement' and in the interests of
fairness and investigation would
be made whenever the Board could
get to it. He pointed out that this
Board has had no time yet to be-
come familiar with the situation;
that number of things must first
be worked out and policies estab-
lished. He was definitely of the
opinion that surely three stores
could not be operated, and said
that any consideration of second
store at this time would have to
depend on results of study of
the probable profit and benefit to
the system.
4 The stores have now abolished
the Wednesday afternoon closing,
about which there had been SO
much complaint.
1t is of interest to note that the
store sales were $4,810.40 less
during the past year than in 1857.
With November 1868 having been
$875.39 less than November of
1858, nevertheless, store sales
jumped in 1868 December by ST.
232.05 above Dec. 1867.
Total sales for the year 1857
$326, 1854; total sales in 1858
1921 ,545.45. Sixty per cent of the
total business is done by the Mays
Head store during the summer
months. Sales in winter do not JUS
y~clerk hire, freight, and rent
paid for the beach store, It Isl
stated.
