Aldernnanic Government
Rules At Wrightsuille

Wrightsville Beach, unique in
that it is the only incorporated
town without a %postoffice but which
still has house-to-house mail de-
livery, also has a rather unique
form of town government.
The town is governed by a board
of aldermen, the members OF which
are nominated by the property
owners in a town election but who
are actually appointed by the gov
ernor of North Carolina.
The governor is not bound to
appoint those nominated, but 1t is
customary for him to do so.
The board is now composed of
D. j. Herrin, mayor, Luther T
Rogers, Louis Hanson, J.. Russell
Wood and Leon Andrews, alder
men. None of these men is a year
around resident of the resort towr
and yet regularly they meet
throughout the winter in the coun-
ty commissioners office in the
courthouse to attend the govern
mental affairs of the sea islan6
town.
To these men fall the tasks Of
experimenting the police depart
ment. the waterworks, the con
struction and maintenance of pub.
lie works and all the tasks which
fall to those in charge Of the gov.
eminent of any other town.

Gift Shop Attractive
Addition To Resort

An attractive addition to Wrights-
vile Beach this summer is the
Anchor Gift shop, located in the
convention hall on Waynick Boule-
var dust west of the Ocean Ter

Anchor, the gift shop this summer
features all types of attractive nov
elites as well as beach wear, popu-
lar magazines and numerous &C
cessories for men and women.
Both the Anchor and the Anchor

located on Waynick Boulevard, a
great convenience this year.
One of the most popular features
of the hotel in years past has been

meals while watching the rolling
waters of the blue Atlantic Ocean
and take advantage of the cool
breezes which sweep the d e,
white strand.

ark, who were chosen on Wednesday
evening of this week by the Republi-
can members of the Legislature
meeting at Wilmington, to lead the
Senate and House respectively dur
ing the coming session of the Legis-
lature, are both successful business
men, and both enjoy the confidence
of the majority of Delaware people
regardless of party. Both will do a
good job, honestly and fearlessly.
They will be aided to no little extent
in carrying out a program of intel
hgent, constructive legislation, by
their floor leaders, who in the Sem
ate is Major Paul r. Rinard, and in
the House Robert H. Richards, Jr.
These men can be counted on to work
in close harmony with Governor
elect Bacon, who in his two terms as
Mayor of Wilmington, gave that city |
its two most efficient and economical
administrations, and who has prom
ised to conduct the affairs of the
state in the same business-like man

The Gift Custom

Some people think the habit Of
making Christmas gifts is over done
They claim that many folks OF
small incomes give more than they
can afford, and are impelled to dc
so because they hate to break an
old custom.
It is said that in many cases the
gifts represent a kind of trade or
swap, in which both parties would
be glad to discontinue the custom, il
they could do so without causing
disappointment. Also it is COM
planned that many people fail to
select gifts with good judgment, and
that many gifts do not meet the
real needs of the recipients.
It used to be customary to give
people some very elaborate orna-.
mental presents, which did not meet
any practical need. That kind of
thing is not so often done now. Peo-
pie usually ask their friends and

need, and they try TO give substan.
tiai articles that win be OF real
value. Or they give things that are
really beautiful. and will give last.

The Christmas gifts are an ex-
preston of love. Thus people are
led to realize how strong the ties
are that bind them together They

the feeling that they are not soii-

them.

Women in Trousers

If you go into the winter sport
centers where skiing, coasting. and
skating are enjoyed, you will prob
ably find the majority of the girls
and women wearing male garments.
They are seen wherever women ride
horseback, and in many cities and
towns where snow and ice prevail.
That is some change from the
days when everyone would turn to
stare in shocked surprise if wO-
man or girl appeared dressed in bi-
furcated garments. Some women
used to say that they would enjoy
riding a morse. but fKeeyy felt ashaiiiS..

The Christmas Tree Crop

The annual crop OF Christmas
trees is not any great money maker
The land owner sells them cheap
Some people object, and say that il

perform a great service, even If they
are removed in their early life, and
even if they only serve a week or
two, and then are thrown out on the
