ened the very existence Of the re-
sort island.
In addition the people at Wrights-
vile Beach have found three other
big advantages that have occrued
through the work which was done.
The dredging in Banks channel
deepened and widened the channel
and made it even finer for use as
a racing course for sail boats and
cupboard motorboats.
In addition it made the bottom
of the channel smooth and uni
form so that the feet of fishing
boats which ties up at the trestle
has no difficulty now in navigating
the channel which leads to the in
let through which they must pass
to get to sea and to the waters
where the big fish abound.
Besides this the dredging gave
the channel a clean, smooth bot
tom excellently adapted for still
water bathing and swimming and
makes it an ideal place for stag
ing a%quacades and swimming
meets as well as a fine spot for use
in teaching non swimmers how to
swim.
Another big advantage which
was secured through the erosion
control work was the widening Of

viously tides and winds had eaten

Holds Sway
At Wrightsuille Beach

Dancing vacationists will be lat
home'' at Wrightsville Beach this
summer.
At this sea island resort dancing
is reaching a new high this year.
as Lumina, the famed dance pa
vilion at Station Seven, is plan
ming for a bigger and better sea-
son than ever and luke boxes"
are appearing in even greater
numbers at entertainment S p o t S
over the entire length of the is
land.
Throughout the day at the vari-
Gus entertainment and refresh
ment stands may be heard the
music of the luke boxes" as they
pour out their popular tunes and
at each of them may be seen
numerous young couples jitterbug-

There is nothing self-conscious
about these groups Of dancers
They break into a dance at the
slightest provocation. . on the
boardwalks, at the drink stands
and even on the wide, white strand
whenever they hear the rhythmi-

Music is beginning to hold sway
at the island resort. It isn't loud
music. It can't be heard far from
it's original source, but almost
everywhere during the day there
is present the music of the best
bands of the nation, pouring forth
from the numerous nickelodeons
scattered over the resort area.

EROSION CONTROL
WORK PLEASING
Wrightsville Beach Finds Jet
ties And Dredging Are
Very Effective

More than a year has passed
since Wrightsville Beach began its
erosion control program with the
assistance of the Public Works Ad-
ministration and today the resi-
dents and property owners there
are more than satisfied with the
work which has been done.
Last year dredges were put into
Banks channel to pump sand from
the bottom of the channel onto the
ocean side of the island between
the big jetties which were placed
there.
Now that winter and spring
winds and tides have had their
chance to undo this work and have
proved unsuccessful, tn people
feel they have at last checked the
inroads of erosion that once threat
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-06-16

away the sands and previously in
places evenen threatened to cut
through the island and create new
inlets. Now the strand is wide,
cleaning white, smooth and stable
and, with the jetties in place en-
gineers predict there will be little,
if any, erosion there.
The work was recently inspected
by the army board of erosion con
troll, which suggested this means
of combating erosion, and mem
bers of the board expressed them
selves as being highly pleased
with the work and with the check
ing of erosion which has been at
tanned by it. !

Many Guest Houses
Operate Entire Year

With the rapid expansion which
Wrightsville beach has enjoyed in
the past several years, especially
in the southern sector which has
henefitted much from the building
of Waynick Boulevard, there has
come to the sea island resort a
new type of construction.
This is the permanent" type of
guest house, built Of the most last
ing type of materials and equip
ned for year-around residence.
For many years property owners
at Wrightsville beach built only
what are known as "~cottages," but
the construction of modern high
way facilities to all parts OF the
beach has changed that.
Today the majority of h o S e S
that are built are constructed OF
the best of materials and are
homes rather than cottages.
Many of these are used through
out the year as guest homes.
Among these is the Surf Inn,
which has recently been complet-
ed and which is as fine a home as
is to be found on the entire island
resort.
This guest tome is located on
the highway just south of Lumina,
between the highway and the
ocean, and is modern in every res
pect. Here the vacationist may Sc
cure rooms with or without meals
and will find every room equipped
with hot and cold running water
Baths or showers may be had as
desired and parking space is avail
able at the guest house for the cars
of all guests.
In all there are Is rooms in the
Surf Inn, all with outside exposure,
ali modernly equipped and furnish
ed.
One especially convenient fea-
ture which patrons of the Surf Inn
enjoy are the outside showers for
use after a dip in the surf.
The Surf Inn is operated by Mr..
| and Mrs. R. L. Hursey. Mr.. Hur-
sey has had a number of years OF
experience in hotel work in the
better hotels of New York a n d
through this experience has gain
ed a wide knowledge of the oper-
alton of dining rooms and OF how
to provide guests with the types
of food they enjoy the most.
The Surf Inn is to be operated
II months in the year and after
an excellent resort seaso is anti
cipating a busy fall when it will
cater to the fishing parties which
| flock to Wrightsville during t {
early, cool months when the blues
and channel bass r running best
Just across the street from the
| Surf Inn is the Seaforth Inn, which
though constructed last year, /
still something of an innovation in
guest houses at Wrightsville beach
Here vacatiol-ists may secure
rooms on the European plan only
taking their meals wherever they
please on the resort. This guest
house is operated by Walter v
Hursey, a brother Of the operator
Of the Surf Inn, and many Of the
guests from the Seaforth Inn find
it most convenient to take their
meals at the Surf Inn.
Like the Surf Inn, the Seaforth
Inn is convenient to Lumina, has
ample parking space for the cars
Of guests, has outside showers for
bathers and is operated the year
around. 4

Unpopular Journalists
Get Brandy Meant
For Finnish Officers

Incident in Quarters
In Front Lines
Nv WILLIAM L. WHITE.

ON THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
FRONT.-We stay at the second
line command post for about an
hour. waiting until o'clock when it
will be completely dark, before going
on up to the front lines, and are
taken into room in that one wing
of the log farm house which has
not been bombed. 1t is the room
where the officers of the company
eat and sleep and it is filled with
big iron stove In the center, on
which is cooking kettle of reindeer
stew, and by many cots and beds.
with narrow little aisles between the
stove and the cots and beds. 1t Is
very warm. The officers are all
unshaven and tired and many of
them are sleeping but they are
wakened up to greet us.
Some of them then lie back down
and 60 to sleep, and so also do our
two little journalists with the very
swarthy faces and the beautiful
white trench coats.
Brandy for Officers.
We talk for while with the
oficers. They tell us that the Rus
sian patrols will be out in about an
hour, and that two patrols came
through during the past night which
Is easy to do in this country where
there are no trenches and no wire.
When we are sure the two extra
journalists are asleep, those of us
who brought brandy bring out the
bottles from the pockets of our
trench coats, for this is the incest
thing you can do when you visit the
lines because the whole military zone
Is bone dry by Finnish law, and the
fellows up there in the cold ap-
preciate nothing more than a little
snort in a tin cup sitting around a
stove.
There is not very much brandy
left so we pour it carefully. and the
ofncers who have not had a little
snort since the Russians came into
the country watch the pouring with
great but politely restrained interest.
We try to pour 1t quietly in order not
to wake the two sleeping journalists
who neglected to bring any brandy
Of their own. Not only is brandy
expensive in Finland, but it is also
hard to get, as the government
liquor stores are open only few
hours a week and then you must
stand in line and get only one
small bottle.
GurgIe Awakes Journalists.
But some ones hand slipped and
one bottle made little gurgle as
the brandy went into the cup, which
Instantly woke both the journalists.
They sat up and looked at the
brandy, which was unfortunate
particularly since there is not much
brandy left and they have already
drunk more than their share on the
trip up.
The Finnish captain was a swell
guy who said little but smiled at us
in thanks and drank his snort of
brandy and refused second one
saying that although it was excel
lent brandy we must remember that
he was in charge of many men up
here tonight. But the two journal

to them. which it was not. But they
picked the bottle up of the table
and each poured himself a generous

And of all the strange, weird

inexplicable of all was that none of
us killed either one of those jour-
