North Carolina Beaches Specialize in Shoeess Vacations

Those they have today. And if
couples persist in dancing in spur
like high heels and heavy bro
gans, they are ruled off the floor.
Bare toes are not to be crunched
by uncouth leather. At formal
affairs all wear shoes.
Nags Head has long been known
among vacationers as a place to
park the car and forget frills and
furbelows. But the same holds
true not only for the historic
Virginia Dare Country of Dare
County-Nags Head. Kitty Hawk,
Kill Devil Hill-but also for
Wrightsville Beach, near Whining
ton. and other seaShore spots.
Fine highways connect the
Nation with practically all of the
beaches along the 300-mile coast
line of the State.
The picturesque beach in the
Nags Head area lies between a
paved highway and the Atlantic
ocean and for some 20 miles along
there you can usually toss a rock
into the ocean at any point you
stop the car. Time has been
when a rip-snorting hurricane has
hurled ocean waters far inland
over the highway, or tossed pieces
of the highway over on an inland
dune.
Nags Head is legendary place,
and a favorite tale is that it got
its name from the practice of
blood thirsty natives. They used

Wrightsville Beach is near his

Beach. Wrightsville is famed for
its informality, even though the
regular pavilion dances at night
usually are for shod dancers. Its
nothing unusual, however. to see
a number of couples start juke

shoes for a dance. Carolina

and is a hotter spot" than
Wrightsville.
But, whichever the beach and
whatever the attractions. you
usually become "a member Of the
family" at any of the Tar Heel
beaches by the second day.
You wear what you want, when
you want. Few are the places
hotels, cottages or apartments
where any dress up Is expected
during the day. In hotel dining

there are likely to be as many
barefoot diners as there are
shod. And shorts. tee shirts.
halters, terry cloth jackets. etc,
are the standard clothing styles.
Dinner at night usually calls
for a dress for the women and a
shirt (sports, open at the neck In
Ipreponderance) and trousers for
the men instead of shorts. But
there are exceptions for shorts
even then.

7 raveIers. II Notebook
By Jacques FutrelIe, Jr.
The Stars Travel Editor

Almost every one Is agreed there
is a buyers market in the recrea-
tional travel business. There ex-
lists a superabundance of delight
full places to go and. usually,
more than one interesting way to
get there.
More so than in any other time
since the war, Americans can pick
and choose. No longer do they
mind questioning the price tag,
turning to something that is
cheaper and eminently satisfying.
Smart shopping can uncover bar
gains. And smart shopping also
involves buying what you want
before it is all sold.
AS a great portion of the world
bids for the American tourist
dollar, including America itself,
the summer vacation problem no
longer is so simple as deciding
between the mountains and the
seashore. It's which mountain,
which seashore?
The Great Smokes imply they
can-everything considered-give
as full a vacation measure as the
lofty Rockies; early California
competes with quaint Cape Cod.
There are those who calmly can
resist the lure of unfamiliar places,
who return summer after summer

Space Available
To Europe by

Additional

NEW YORK. - Additional
planes and increased shipping ia
cilities have changed considerably
the transatlantic picture of a
month ago. according to the
American Express. The travel
agency adds:
Limited steamer space to Eu-
rope, while tight for the peak
summer months, is now available
on some lines. Plane space to
most parts of Europe will be avail
able in June and July, The bot
tleneck of the transatlantic will
be the difficulty of obtaining re-
turn space from Europe this fall.
Prospective travellers are being
cautioned to obtain westbound
accommodations in advance of de-
parture. Steamship and airline
officials are pointing out that this
summer will show a new travel
market for Europe. made up
mostly of the average American
in the iddle-income group class.
Ralph T. Reed, president Of the
American Express, upon his recent
return from Europe, said: THE
better hotels are full, and you
can't get a room unless you have
reserved it we'll in advance"
The 1850 tourist is finding Eu-
rope almost entirely back to pre-
war standards, the agency reports.

speeiol Dispatch TO The S.ar

MACS HEAD, N. C.-Such mod
ern things as fine highways, tele-
vision, canasta and dog racing
have come to the resort beach area
of North Carolina. but collar-and-
tie formality, somehow, has never
caught on.
In fact, today's visitors - men
and women-can shed their shoes
and stockings where the sand
begins. miles inland from the sea,
and participate fully in the
homsey social life. That goes for
dancing as well as swimming. for
dining as well as lazing in a
hammock.
No one seems to know. or care,
why such a homespun tradition
persists. why newcomers fall so
readily into the unshod practice.
There are those who say the idea
springs from the fact that Nags
Head and most North Carolina
beaches do not have the board
walks usually found farther
north. Particularly in the old
days. that meant dancers would
arrive at the pavilions with sandy
shoes, inside and out.
To protect dance floors and
avoid rubbing up blisters. so this
story goes. they fell into the prac-
tice of kicking of their shoes and
striking out barefoot. All they
needed was music and the assur-
a1ce Of splinterless floors.

to vacation scenes that have be-
come a second home. Perhaps
they should bestir themselves to
look to new horizons. But what
are vacations for? Whether or
not vacations provide excitement,
a broader knowledge or interesting
new frie,. .ds, none can surpass
those that impart deep enjoyment.
Vacationers who are so "sot in
their ways" need never consult
the travel agent. The far-away
places he displays on his counters
leave them cold. For others are
the adventure. thrilling sights and
new experiences the varying null
tiples the vacation dollar will buy.
Those others number millions,
the vast majority. And when
travel desires pull them from their
own beaten path, bit of practical
advice can smooth the way and.
often as not, effect a real saving.
This is the field of the travel
agency. They know how and
where to find what you want. In
all but rare instances. their serv-
ices are cost-free.
In these days of specialists and
skills, the travel agent has a
place in the scheme of things. His

Excessive Mileage
Defeats Pleasures
OF Auto Vacation

A leisurely, easy tempo in travel
is recommended by the American
Automobile Association as the best
way to insure a pleasure filled and
restful vacation.
TOO many motorists spend
their vacations racing down the
highways, trying to cover a maxi
mum amount of mileage" the
AAA's National Touring Board de-
clared. They return home IA
tigued and sometimes exhausted.
needing a rest after their vaca-
tions. Yet all this can be avoided
by taking things easy.
"It takes more work to- have a
disappointing vacation than one
you'll want to remember. Any one
ending UP worn out and bedrag-
gled probably has burned UP a lot
of energy and frazzled his nerves
by trying to jampack too many
miles and too many activities into
a limited period of time. A little
thought, plus some advance plan
ming, will bring you back rested
and refreshed. and with deep
etched memories of places you
have been and sights you have
seen.
Pleasure Along Road.
There are worthwhile sights
along every highway: almost every
State is spending millions Of dol
lars to develop recreational. his
toric and scenic areas for the
benefit of visiting motorists. In
following the lure of the far hori-
zon, don't forget there is adven-
ture and discovery right at the
side of the road"
The AAA Touring Board recon-
mends that vacation activities of
interest to all members of the
family be included in the trip.
Hobbies, whether geology. pho
Biography, literature, architecture
or history, can be practiced to
their fullest on a trip away from
home.
The vacation bound passenger
car, the AAA continues, can be
an excellent classroom for young
sters of the family. Geography.
history and other subjects that
seem dull in textbooks become of
absorbing interest when viewed at
first hand. A tip for parents of
inquisitive children is: Brief your
selves on the areas to be visited
so you'll be able to answer their
questions.
Other AAA suggestions, de-
signed to increase travel enjoy
ment and to lessen fatigue are:
Do your driving in the early
part of the day, when traffic is
lighter and the weather is cooler.
Stop early enough in the after
noon to get the type of accon1mo-
dations you want, and to spend
some time visiting points of in
terest at your destination for the
day.
Keep Gas Tank Up.
Drive on the upper half of the
gas tank, especially in the West,
where gas stations sometimes are
few and far between.
Change sides now and then with
your companions in the car-this
will reduce eye strain and general
body fatigue, especially in chill
oren. Provide each member of
the party with a good pair of sun
glasses.
| Garry thermos bottles: In some
sections of the country water OBJ
tanned at overnight stopping
places is far better than at stop
ping places on the road; occa-
sionally you may not be able to
get pasteurized milk for the chill
dren.
Break up your journey with a
boat trip where one is available,
as across the Great Lakes, the
Thousand Islands, the Wisconsin
Dells or in Glacier National Park.
To every traveller voyage on
water, no matter how short. is a
diverting and refreshing expe-
rience.

French Reformed Church
Asks Justice For Strikers

Though scoring the political
and violence of the
r e cent strikes in France, the
French Reformed Church has as
serted that "they do not justify
refusal to take into balanced
the claims of peo-
pie whose human dignity is not
being respected"
In a message read from the
pulpits of Reformed churches on
March 26, the National Council
of the Church called upon its
people to seek harmonious solu-
tions for "the destitution or the
unbearable straits" of so many
workers" Text of the message
appears below.
Text OF Statement
Meeting for the first time
since the grave material diff
culties weighing on section OF
the population resulted in such
deep disturbance in our country
the National Council of the Re-
formed Church of France feels
impelled to state its position as
follows:
We are greatly grieved by the
thought that for SO many work
ers the right to a normal life
goes in effect unrecognized;
there is no justice, even the
most elementary, wh ere the
necessary minimum is not guar
anteed.
Whatever may be the political
exploitation behind the strikes,
and the acts of violence which
these bring in their train, they
do not justify refusal to take
into balanced consideration the
claims of people whose human
is not being respected.
We call upon all those whose
religious beliefs are ours, and
in particular those in positions
of political, economic or trade
union responsibility, to go forth
courageously, in a spirit of har-
mony and mutual sacrifice, in
search of solutions whose first
premise shall be that the destitu-
ton or the unbearable straits in
which too many homes are now
living shall in fact be borne no
longer.
