Edgar Thomas, manager of
"The Lost Colony, has inform
ed the Dare County Library
staff that all children who reach
the Library's summer reading
goal of Is. books will be ad-
mitted free to the special per-
formance of the drama on Dare
County Night, August Gath.
This is an appropriate award
for this years reading program,
for it has been named "The
Lost Colony Anniversary Read
ing Program" in a desire to OBJ
serve the 25th anniversary with
some form of library activity.
Mrs. Gibbs and Mrs. Henning
of the library designed certifi-
Gates that picture the stage and
25 seats of the amphitheatre.
The reader colors a seat for each
book read. On completing the
25 seats, the child will be en-
titled to receive the certificate
on presentation day at school.
This summers club has the
biggest enrolment to date. One
hundred have signed at the Ii
brary headquarters in Manteo

SOCIAL SECURITY
FROM THE NORFOLK
FIELD OFFICE
Social Security Protects
The Disabled

That old saying Nothing is
so certain as change" can have
a great deal of meaning for you
as it did for John Carter. John
had just celebrated his 3Sth
birthday and he felt he had a
lot to be thankful for: a lovely
wife, two healthy, teen-aged
youngsters and a good job. Life
for him was progressing on an
even keel until eight months ago
whtn he was severaly injured in
a hit and run accident. From
then on it wos one unpleasant
change after another. He was
hospitalized for a long period
and when he finally returned
home the doctor told him he
would not be able to work again.
Although he received a disability
pension from his employer, he
found that all of his needs were
not being met.
Then John learned over the
radio of another kind of change.
The commentator said that social
security now pays disability in
surance benefits to qualified per-
sons who became severely disabl-
ed before age IS, and he urged
disabled people to seek infor-
nation from their local social
security office. Until a recent
change in the social security law,
these payments could be made
only to disabled workers aged so
to 65.
Johns wife called the social
security office and mentiontd
that he was unable to visit at
the office. His application was
taken by a representative of the
social security office who came
to their home. John and his fam
lily are now receiving 1854 a
month in social security disabili-
ty benefits.
The story of John Carter il
lustrates the family protection
which social security provides
when the breadwinned becomes
disabled for any substantial
gainful activity.
To qualify for these payments,
a person must have a disability
so severe that it will last indie
finitely and one which will pro-
badly not improve with time or
medical treatment. The disabili-
ty must have lasted for 6
months or more before payments
can start.
If you or anyone in your fam
lily become disabled, be sure to
contact your social security Of
flee to see if you are eligible
for disability benefits. Booklets
on the recent changes in the So
cial security law, including the
change permitting payments to
disabled workers under so years
of age, are available, free of
charge, at all social security dis
trict offices. The local social Sc

WASHINGTON-A storm OF
Congressional protest has arisen
over the U. S. Supreme Courts
recent ruling that the Constitut-
ional ban against the establish
ment of religion is violated by a
% word prayer authorized by
the New York Board of Regents
for it's public schools. The pray
er recognizes the existence of
Almighty God and implores His
blessings on the students, their
parents, their teachers, and their
country. l think that most A
mericans were shocked by this
decision.
| am a firm believer in the
separation of church and state. |
have felt that there can be no
political liberty in a country
where the state is dominated by
a church. Conversely, l have
stated that there can be no re
ligious liberty in any state where
the government dominates relig-
ion. This decision, however, goes
far beyond the real meaing of
the First Amendment of the
U. S. Constitution.
The First Amendment was
placed in the Constitution to
prohibit Congress from esta-
blishing any state church such
as prevailed in the lands of our
fore-fathers, to prevent anyone
from being taxed directly or in
directly for the support of any

an organization from declaring
by law that any religion was {
true religion and others wer,
false, and to prevent the stats
from acting through it's agencies
from proselyting people to ac.
cept a particular religion or q
particular religious principle.
Until very recent times the
U. S. Supreme Court always said
that one of the best ways to de-
termine the meaning of a con-
stitutional principle was to seek
the Interpretation placed upon It
by the persons living contem-
poraneously with the drafting Of
the Constitution and by the peo-
pie and governmental agencies
after that time. The First A
mendment was placed in the
Constitution shortly after the
ratification of the Constitution
1t was drawn largely by James
Madison, who is sometimes call
ed "the Father of the Constitu-
ton. 1t was submitted to the
states for ratification by the
First Congress. 1t was speedily
ratified by the states.
For more than ITO years there
has been a practical and accept
ed Interpretation placed upon
this Amendment by the school
boards, teachers, students, and
the public in general. This inter
probation, prior to the Supreme
Court decision was that the
First Amendment permitted the
saying by school children of nom
sectarian prayers which recog-
nize the existance of Almighty
God. 1t also permitted readings
or passages from the Bible or
any other sacred book so long as
these passages were not given
any sectarian Interpretation.
and so long as any children
whose parents objected were
given the opportunity to be ex-
empted from attending such
or listening to such
Biblical readings. This interpre-
tation was, l believe, a wise one.
A custom prevailed when l
attended school in North Caro-
ina to sing Carolina, song
written by Judge William Gas
;on. One stanza invokes Heaven
S blessings upon our State. 1t
reads in prayerful fashion:
Carolina, Carolina, Heavens
attend thee, while We
i've we will cherish, protect,
and defend thee"
Today, in our schools child
zen are often urged by their
eachers to sing america.
From it's beautiful words. l
quote these words: "My coun-
.ry tbs of thee, sweet Land of
4ibrty, of thee, l sing. Long
nay our land be bright with
Holy Light, protect
is by thy might, great Goo, our
King"
The very walls of the Senate
contain the inscription:
In God We Trust. Ali United
States money bears the same
inscription. The Senate opens
every session with prayer.
1t remains to be seen as to
now far the Court will go by 9TH
er decisions towards extending |
his Interpretation of the First
Amendment over our daily lives.

FISHING TACKLE-2
Spinning Most Versatile
of All Casting Methods

beds, you cast chunks of peeler
crab without a sinker from an
anchored or slowly drifting
boat. Best time is early sum-
mer.
Popular though spinning may
be, bait casting still has its
devotees, who will sneer at the
coffee grinders" of the SPIN
ming fraternity. You won't, for
instance, find any spinning
tackle at the Sunday morning
gatherings of the National Cap
ital Casting Club at the Tidal
Basin. They'll use fly or bait
casting rods.
Bait casting calls for more
skillS and practice. The reel is
the old-time revolving type
usually with level wind attach
ment. The rod is shorter and
stiffer without the out-Sized
Spin-caSting guides. The line is
braided nylon or monofilament,
but be sure the reel has a spool
made for monofilament. Other
wise the extra pressure will
cause it to expand and seize at
the ends.
Oval MonofiIament Good
Lately, monofilament ha S
been made in oval shape espe-
cially for revolving spool reels.
1t is excellent.
In another new development,
star dragS and free spools have
been added to bait casting reels.
This is fine for fighting big
pike mot our So-called pike
which are really pickereD and
muskies. 1t also adapts them
for light salt water fishing.
Besides the time needed to
learn to cast, bait casting S
drawback is in the size of lures
necessary. Bait casters use 5s-
ounce plugs compared to the
1s to 3s ounce lures used in
spinning. That's too big for
panfiSh but no drawback, ac-
tually, on large mouth bass. A
big bass can gobble a small
muskrat if it is in the mood
AS to cost, bait casting and
spinning are comparable.
Sometimes, a bait casting
outfit is a necessity, as in Lake
Okeechobee, Fla. Lily pads are
so thick you only have small
pockets to which you can cast
You need the accuracy of g
bait casting rod plus stout line
to horse out the fish once you
have hooked it.

Fish Watchers
Help Study Of
Marine Life

Everybody has heard of bird
watching. but whoever heard of
fish watching?
Well, it's being done and the
findings may be of great scien-
tific portent. Sponsoring it is
the American Littoral Society,
a national organization of
amateur and professional ma
turalists devoted to the under
water study of animals and
plants in the littoral (shore)
area Of the sea.
Actually, it is the brain child
of Fish and Wildlife'S new
Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory.
Highlands, N. j.. which was
the first dedicated to the i'm
.provement of sport fishing. Its
president is John R. Clark, one
OF the BIOLOGISTS.
Membership is largely drawn
from amateur skin divers from
Maine to the British Virgin
Islands.
Between last September 2
and II, the society sent out SO
divers in % teams to count fish
and other marine life in al
lotted areas from South Harps-
well, Me-. to Salt Island in the
British Virgin Islands. With
the exception of these two ex-
tremes, plus one Florida count,
activities were confined to the
New York-New Jersey coast.
The fish watching was very
successful. The divers tailed
everything from hermit crabs
and Holsters to mako sharks.
Recently, the first meeting
was held at the Museum of
Natural History, New York. Dr..
Lionel Walford, laboratory di-
rector, called for thousands of
eyes to go where no instruments
can go and seek out for science

safe with the backing of a pros
judgment.
I find myself in the position
of the man who was questioned
by a friend, And how's your
wife?" He answered, Com
pared with what?"
Boats come in all sizes,
shapes, designs and prices and
they are constructed of many
materials with wide variances
in quality of workmanship.
I've learned over the years
that there is neither a best"
nor a perfect" boat. BY this
I mean that though I might
build or have built a perfect
boat, best for my needs, what
I want in a boat will be totally
different from what another
boatman may want. So, we
arrive at the compared with
what?" response.
y
Unless you plan to design
and build your own boat or can
afford to commission a custom
built boat, your choice will be
from among the thousands Of
different models of production
boats. This is the beginning
from which you will have to
pare down the choice until you
arrive at what seems best for
you.
Fortunately there are a num-
Der of factors that will imme-
diately limit your selection. How
much can you afford to pay?
Your answer should include the
base price of the boat or the
periodic payments you vii
have to make, necessary acces'
sorry gear plus your annua
operating and maintenance,
cost. The latter should includ
insurance, docking or launch
ing fees as we'll as fuel and {
generous estimate for annua
paint and repairs.
Naturally, you will want t,

before shopping how and wher
you will use your boat. Assum

Most production boats are. in
certain respects, a compromise,
for they are intended to ap-
peal to a broad market. Desired
performance characteristics Of
any boats are in conflict. A
successful high-Speed planning
boat must be lightweight in re-
lation to its hull size and en-
gine power. Planning surfaces
must be flat with no general
radiuSing at the chimes. So high
speed is usually accomplished
at a sacrifice of soft riding and
maximum hull strength.
What is the most economical
buy must also be weighted on
basis of how, when and where
A cheaply built boat of inexpen-
sive materials may be perfectly
suitable for a boatman who
cruises unexposed waters and
gives his boat only modest use
and stores it under cover.
The boatman who plans tt

who intends to expose his boa1

To cast, you press a buttor

at the moment you cast. YoI
can feather" the cast with
this button much as you dC
with a bait casting reel anc
achieve more accuracy thar
with the open-faced spinning
reel over which you have ne
control.
Spin casting has its own
preculiar drawback. Being 6
comparatively late develop
ment, the reels have not
reached that degree of perfec-
tion their predecessors have;
that is, all we have used. They
are subject to bugs" line

This is particularly true oi

Foreign-made reels used to be
by far the best. American
companies like Pflueger anc

Such an outfit should cost
you, at list prices, about $5(

casting. BY shopping, you very
likely can get some discount.
With it you can cast fol

Has One Drawback

There is one major drawback.
1t takes considerable practice
to put a lure within 2 feet of
where you can place it with a
bait casting or spin casting
outfit.
The latter is the second form
of spinning. 1t might almost be
called fourth form of fishing
Spin casting is like spinning in
that the reel feeds off the
line in free coils without the
dreaded "backlaSh" of a con-
ventional or revolving spool
reel. Beyond that it is much
more like bait casting.
A shorter rod is used, with
an offset handle as III bai
casting. The reel has a closeC
face; that is, the line feed
