The whisper of the wind and
gentle roll of the sea can quickly
turn into a stiff breeze and
crashing surf. Softness can turn
to anger. Lazy, drifting, soaring
gulls can become enraged when
the sea boils with fish. A visitor
can find miles of undeveloped
beaches to walk—with an
escape from the hustle and
bustle of everyday life.
Those who have visited North
Carolina’s famed Outer Banks
would have it no other way. This
is a land of legend, exploration,
dreams and the conquest of new
frontiers.
The Outer Banks are a chain
of narrow islands extending 175
miles from the Virginia line to
Cape Lookout near Morehead
City.
Firsts are nothing for the
Banks. Here the English
colonists made their first set-
tlement in 1585. It was here the
Wright Brothers started man on
his journey to the moon. It was
here the nation’s first National
Seashore--Cape Hatteras--was
set aside so that future men
might see a beach in its natural
state.
The remote beaches have
been called ‘‘magnificent
desolation” by many. To some
people the idea of a nearly unin-
habited beach is not enticing—
but for those who like their
beaches with a dash of ‘solitude
and serenity, the Outer Banks
will be to their liking.
The Outer Banks resort
areas, north to south, begin at
Kitty Hawk, which was a tiny
sound-side village when the
Wrights first visited it in 1900.
They still celebrate the Wrights’
first flight in 1903 every Dec. 17.
The Wright Brothers National
Memorial, at Kill Devil Hills, is
an all-year attraction.
Largest of the Outer Banks
resort towns is Nags Head, with
its beach stretching some 20
miles from Kill Devil Hills to
the northern entrance of the
Cape Hatteras National Sea-
shore. According to legend,
Nags Head acquired its name
from the unscrupulous practice
of residents who tied lanterns on
the necks of ponies and mar-
ched them along the high dunes
if they saw a ship offshore. The
lights swinging from the ponies’
necks gave the impressions of
boats pitching in the water, thus
deceiving captains into running
aground on the shoals where the
cargo of their ships could be
plundered.

Nearby is Roanoke Island
with restored Fort Raleigh.
Here the firs English colonists
landed in 1585, and this was the
site two years later of one of
history’s greatest mysteries—
The Lost Colony. The puzzle of
what happened to the settlers
has never been solved.
America’s first outdoor
drama, ‘“The Lost Colony,” is
presented six nights a week
from late June to late August at
the Waterside Theatre. The
drama is the story—in song,
dance and spoken word—of the
first English settlement in
America.
Also at Roanoke Island is the
Elizabethan Garden. It is built
on 10 and one-half acres and is a
memorial to the Elizabethan
colonists. This is one of Eastern
dens.
The Cape Hatteras National
Seashore preserves some 45
square miles of beach. Eight
small villages, with tourist at-
tractions, are within the boun-
daries of the seashore. They are
Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon
Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras and
Ocracoke Island.
Cape Hatteras, long famous
as the ‘‘graveyard of the
Atlantic’’ because its Diamond
Shoals claimed thousands of
ships in the days before radio
and radar, is the focal point of
the National Seashore.
The Cape Hatteras Light-
house—tallest on the Amerian
coast—is open to visitors and
the energetic may climb its 268
steps for a panoramic view.
Louden Hill Farm’ Stores,
which last week carried the
lowest regional retail milk
prices in the last 20 years, was
forced by a Commonwealth
Court order to return to its pre-
vious $1.15 per gallon price this
week. The 31 Northeastern
Pennsylvania outlets were
selling milk for as low as 93
cents a gallon last week.
The court injunction was
handed down at the request of
the Pennsylvania Milk Market-
ing Board, which has steadily
increased the price of milk in
the Commonwealth since the
mid-1950’s. Louden Hill has
been attempting to lower the re-
tail price of milk for the last
seven years.
Last week Louden Hill
dropped the price of milk in
light of a court decision in
Harrisburg that rejected the
milk board’s request for an in-
junction against United Dairy
Farmers Cooperative in Pitts-
burgh. Friday, however, the
court reversed its earlier de-
cision in favor of the milk hoard,
thus leaving the board with a
clear means with which to move
against Louden Hill.
Louden Hill president Peter
Sandfort Sr. told Greenstreet
News that he will fight the move
in a hearing scheduled Wednes-
day in Harrisburg. He has
maintained that the consumer
was being cheated with the in-
flationary high milk prices set
arbitrarily by the milk board
because he can show that he
buys milk from Pennsylvania

Rural Developement
A new comprehensive guide
to federal programs which is
useful in rural areas is now
available, according to the End-
less Mountains Resource Con-
servation and Development
Council. The book is
titled, ‘Guide to Federal
Programs for Rural Develop-
ment.” It outlines all federally
funded programs, eligibility,
and qualification programs and
where to apply for them.
The book was originally
published by the Independent

said in a prepared statement.
“We have been awaiting
action from the board since Fe-
burary of 1971 when the court
ruled that the state’s pricing
order was improper and told the
board to hold another hearing.
After nearly a year the board
convened a hearing in Decem-

we asked for a 93 cents a gallon
price and had evidence to
support it. That price is the only
one on the record of the hearing.
“Twice subsequently,” the
retailer continued, ‘‘the board
has set hearings and then post-
poned them because in its own
words ‘lack of cooperation of
some of the dealers in supplying
the board with needed financial
information.’
“In late May,” Mr. Sandfort
said, ‘‘the board called the

the court had called its pricing
order improper. All this time,
the consumer has been paying
outrageously high milk prices,
along with skyrocketing prices
for other foods.”
The milk executive said that
even in light of testimony
during the last hearing indi-
cating that consumers are being
overcharged as much a $100,000
a month in the Scranton-Wilkes-
Barre area alone, the board did
not appear to be in any hurry to
grant lower milk prices.
Because of this, Mr. Sandfort
said, “we have no recourse but
to fight this injustice with every
resource available to us.”
