HOW TO SAVE 500 A YEAR

Another washing tip given
by laundry specialists pertains to
heaVily-soiled articles such as
work clothes, children's play
clothes, or the neck band on
white shirts. Rub the heavily%
soiled area with a thick mixture
of the washing compound befOre
the clothes are put into the
washer, using a celluiose SPONGE
or soft brush It S important to
use the same type of washing
compound for this pre-treatment
as is being used in the washer
for that particular load Of clothes.
The advance sporting" treatment
will cut down on necessary wash
ing time and save wear on the

/ ting with old friends one has rot

ease at Hatteras Tuesday, and a.
mong the people who came to
greet me were dear friends / had
not seen in years. To recount a
few: A. j. and Junius Fulcher Of
Norfolk, Mrs. Eliza Ann Robinson
of Frisco; Capt. U. B. Jennett, Mrs.
u. 0. Gaskins, and many others.
And of course there were many
people / had not seen for long
time.
Visiting Hatteras Islam reviv-
ed many old and pleasant memories
of the past 25 years when was
more often among the people.
There were many younger faces
unfamiliar to me. / can look back
through the years, and recall that
in all my visits to the outer banks,
there were no unpleasant episodes.
In just about all instances, some
body was doing something nice for
me. Somebody was feeding me, or
sheltering me for the night. Some
body was telling me interesting
things about their early life ard
the old days. And too many times
it became necessary for the Coast
Guard boys to come to my rescue
and pull my car from the sands,
and finish with having to feed and
sleep me for the night.
That is why through all the
years l have been impressed with
the needs of their section for bet
ter roads, and many other things
the state should provide them
which are their right, and enjoyed
by other counties, and other peo-
pies. l have seen first hand what
they have been up against, and l
have experienced it myself, with
great damage to car, and loss of
time as well as inconvenience, and
some hardship when one doesn't
feel quite up to the occasion for
rigorous travelling.
More and more people are COM
ing to the banks these days. The
gradual extension of the highway,
which closes the disagreeable gap
of sand that so long discouraged
travel, is making it possible for
hundreds more to come for visits
each month. There is going to be
need for more ferry service NIGH
ty soon, for on some trips now, the
boats cannot handle the traffic.
We had lovely day for the trip.
In June and in Autumn are the
most delightful times for visiting
the outer banks. The weather is
fine, the sleeping so good, the sea
air builds appetites like nothing
else. know no lovelier place to
visit than Hatteras Island in June.

others to represent the fraternity.
There went from Manteo, the bro
Tiers Midget, Marcus and Leo,
for 80 years pillars of Wanchese
Lodge. They have made many sac
rifces to serve the lodge and carry
on its work. Hugh Basnight and
Bob Smith and Edwin Midget al
so went along.
1t was a sad occasion because
the deceased was a man who had
been, for so many years of his ac-
tive life, useful and helpful cit
izen and neighbor. AS Pastor
Gregory said, a funeral on the
Banks seems different from other
funerals at which a preacher usu-
ally officiates. Funerals on the
banks always seem to me like the
funerals of some of my folks"
He meant by this that one needs
not live long among the people of
the outer banks to become so en-
deared to them by their helpful
ness, their friendliness and their
hospitality before he comes to love
them.
AS in a number of funerals, the
grief in this case is so helpfulIy
soothed because unusual trial by
lnfrmities had come to an end,
ard peace and reward has been
reached by a troubled soul. How
distressing it is that illness often
comes most heavily upon those who
apparently have done nothing to
merit it.
As always, despite the oppres-
siveress of the occasion, any visit
to the Outer Banks is always to
IRE matter of moment, and some.
thing to look forward to. There
is a serenity, and peace, a rest
fuiness and a stimulation of tired
faculties that is aroused among
the wonderful atmosphere of both
climate, and people of the Outer
Banks, that is found in like degree
no other place under the sun. There
are some who fear the coming IF
roads will help to dissipate the
greatest loneliness of this lonely
land, but despite all this, / do not
believe it will happen soon, and l
still believe, as l have always con-
tended, that the road which should
long have been completed, if only
as matter of justice, will prove a
mighty asset not only to the cit
izers of the island, but to poIe
County and all North Carolina.
There is something tremendous
