Children enjoy
"Old Christmas"
Kodanthe, N C , January 4.?Children
of thin windswept fishing village
hung their stockings tonight, for it
wan the night before Christinas.
Although Santa Clans came and
went the world over on the night of
December 25. tonight was the night
of hit* coining to Kodanthe.
The village's 300 residents have observed
Christinas Day January 5
since Kngllsh pioneers settled here
more than 200 years ago.
The custom apparently is a holdover
from "Old Christmas"?the
twelfth night, or the Kpiphany, which
falls on January 6.
Not many years ago other com
J rnunllles along the Islunds known us
North Carolina's "outer banks" observed
"Old Christmas" as their Yuletide.
but gradually all abandoned the
practice save Kodanthe?now believed
the only community in the nation retaining
It.

| taken a drink It consumes 1,400,000
' gallons, If there were many liners of,
ItM size the people of Southampton
might go ahort of water, which la one
of the reasons why the Town Council
has decided to draw for lta supplies
on the Itlver Itchen which waa Immortalized
by Izaak Walton, the "Compleat
Angler."
At present Southampton's water
aupply comes from the chalk hills of
Hampshire through 600 miles of
mains, but 700 yeara ago It trickled
through wooden conduits laid down by
Franciscan friars. The friars' waterworks,
said to be the earliest In the
country apart from those In London,
served Southampton until the beginning
of the nineteenth century.
