The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter. [volume] (Manteo, N.C.) 1959-1973, 1960-07-08

Hatteras Island is greater than
that of any other station in the
United States except in the Puget
Sound region, and even there the
excess over Hatteras is not great.
Yet there are more days of sun
shine on Hatteras than at Cape
Henry, or Norfolk, or Whining
ton. The heaviest rains come be-
tween late July and mid October,
after the plants have done most
of their growing for the year and
when plants in many parts of the
country are suffering greatly
from the drouth.
The people of these islands are
not the slothful bankers and
rude wreckers pictured in song
and story. They are fair women
and brave men, most of whom
live and do for others-life-
savers, heroes. Their homes are
comfortable and well kept; they
attend regularly upon the serv-
ices of the church, and their chill
dren are in school for eight
months of the year, for the in
habitants of Dare County have
voted upon themselves a special
tax for this purpose. The island
ers have herds of small wild po-
MES and flocks of sheep and
goats, as well as cattle, on some
of these islands.
True, some primitive customs
are preserved among them and
some early English forms of
speech. Their lodges used in
fishing and hunting are built aft
er the most primitive type of
straw thatch, while a higher
type, similar to that used in the
village of Gabii in the days of
Romulus and Remus, is used as a
temporary residence during their
camp meetings in the summer,
and this higher type of dwelling
is on Hatteras built of palmetto
thatch.
The possibilities of these is
lands are as yet undreamed of by
their inhabitants and utterly un-
known to the outsider, who visits
only the most barren of them in
the duck-shooting season.
The regaining of the shore
strip by reforesting the sands,
and the retention of the dunes
that are devastating the meadow
lands, would make of Hatteras Is
land, at least, a subtropical gar
den, where southern fruits and

swamps.
On Bogue Banks, where defor-
esting has only just begun at two
points, we have 20 miles of wood
land, the virgin forest extending
down to the waters edge and pre-
venting the formation of dunes.
From Southport westward into
South Carolina the dunes have
moved northward and inland, in
some places completely filling the
lagoons. At one point such a
filled lagoon has produced pine
forest in something more than
forty years.
The checking of these dunes
presents a problem of increasing
Importance not only to the inhab-
itants of these sand keys, but to
the navigators of the inland wa
terways as well, and. it is of in
terest to know that it's solution
is at hand, and that the en-
croachment Of the sand upon the
land and upon the sounds may be
effectually stopped.
1t is fortunate that the strong
north winds that pile up the
sands and the strong east winds
that cause the greater amount of
the sand movement blow in the
winter months rather than in the
season of plant growth. The
spring rains are usually of light
intensity and long duration, and
on Hatteras Island at least they
come with the gentler southwest
winds. Hence, it is comparatively
easy to plant grasses and shrub
berry in late winter or early spring
and have them gain a firm foot
ing and accomplish something of
their growth before the strong
winds come,
In January, 1886, the writer
planted the seed of the loblolly
pine on the back of a dune and
covered the area with brush cut
from nearby road in process of
The brush served not
only. to break the wind but to
conserve the moisture of the
sands, and today there is a for
est of several acres where twen-
ty years ago was a moving sand
waste. The method so common
abroad of building barrier dune
by means of wind breaks has been
tried several times along this
coast, but always without sue
cess.

GLORIOUS FOURTH
WAS ENJOYED ON
OCRACOKE ISLE
Greatest Number Of Visitors En-
10Y Variety of Events Through
Week End

OCRACOKE, July s. Hatteras
Inlet ferry carried 986 cars during
the July 4th week end days, Fri
day, Saturday, Sunday, and Mon
day. and the Ocracoke-Atlantic fer
ny carried its daily quota of "a or
each of these days along with sew
eral hundred who rode over fer the
trip, leaving their cars in Atlantic
Add to this the fact that children
and grandchildren came streaming
in several days or weeks before
the Fourth and you have some in
dication of the fact that on that
week end the population of Ocra-
coke at least tripled.
Outstanding events were the
pony penning, when several ponies
were sold; the Flag Raising Serv-
ice, at which Ocracoke Schools
new 50-Star Flag was raised; the
big dinner which served over 200
whereby the Woman's Society OF
Christian Service increased their fl
nanaal status for Church and So
ciety needs; and the Arts and
Crafts Exhibit, which for the first
time showed visiting tourists and
even Island residents what good
workmanship exists here; and the
traditional square dances with
scarcely room for the dancers be-
cause of the number of on-lookers.
1t was all a happy week end at
Dcracoke.
Hatteras and Buxton were well
represented in the visiting throng
Mr.. and Mrs. Junius Austin on
Monday afternoon served sand
wiches and lemonade to thirty
friends from Mr.. Austin's native
town. The hospitality of Ocracokers
toward their relatives and neigh
bors across the Inlet was so much
appreciated that many of the visi-
tors stayed over night. Among
those here were Mrs. Harold Gray
and children, Mrs. Clifton Austin
and children, Mrs. Elwood Austin
and children, Mrs. Miller Gray and
children, Mrs. Darrell Austin and
Ghilden. Mr.. and Mrs. Lafayette
Midget of Buxton visited relatives
and friends here. Clyde Austin got
enough time off his heavy ferry
schedule to spend the day here with
Mrs. Austin. Willard O'Neal and his
brother Adolphus O'Neal, now of
Newport, visited their sister Mrs,
Mary Fances O'Neal. Mr.. and Mrs.
John O'Neal visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Balance.
And many came from greater
distances. Mr.. and Mrs. John P.
O'Neal of Wilmington, Del, were
here with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs

early vegetables once plentiful
here might come into the market.
The game still lingering among
the wooded dunes would be
greatly multiplied, and the herds
of wild ponies now dwindling
away would again increase in
numbers. Then conservative lum-
bering could be added to the in
dustries of the island.
1t is also within the range of
possibilities that the black beach
sands which are concentrated by
wave action at a few points might
be made to yield from their iron
ores a return for the labor of
gathering them.

The supreme moment
To a soldier, there is one mo-
ment above all others during which
the Flag assumes supreme mean
ing. 1t is when the last volley is
stilled and the Flag is gently re.
moved and carried to where the
mOurners stand. A man has given
his best to his country and she, in
turn, gives back her best acknowl-
edgment - her colors.
1t has been the lot of our life
time to wage wars for our freedom
and our Flag. We have preserved
them both, and even added two
new stars. Now, by flying the Flag,
perhaps we can help our children
discover what it once meant to us.
We may even, if we're fortu-
nate, recapture that same feeling
ourselves. - The End

we belonged under its ample folds.
Americans have always looked
upon change with less fear than
any other people who ever lived.
Visitors never tire of making this
discovery and using it to explain
our amazing history. Probably they
are right. 1t is unlikely that a
nation afraid of change could have
grown so quickly, in SO many ways.
But in the process Of change and
growth, We may have lost that
clear and simple sense Of belong
ing. The Flag was a personal SYM
bol, as personal as the pride in our
heart or our most secret day
dreams of glory. Today, We still
respect the Flag and teach our
children to respect it, but with the
self-conscious respect accorded to
someone else's valued possession.
A flag is created by the living
experiences of people. 1t embodies
not sentiment but history. 1t can
have no character other than that
which we bring to it.
But where the Flag has always
been an official emblem, it seems
to me that nowadays it is becoming
