Probably you don't have a
meteorite around your home, but
If you had one. a new product on
the market now used on meteorite

it fresh and bright and protect
it from furnishing.
This new product will offer you
the same protection for your
treasured silver regardless of
whether it is heirloom sterling or
an exquisite pattern in plate.
1t prevents silver from tarnish-
ing without your having to do
any work whatever. 1t elini-
mates silver polishing, does away
with the fuss and bother of wrap
ping up the silver and keeps the
silver sparkling and always ready
for instant use.
It's so easy to use, it is almost
unbelievable. The product is in
crystal form and is packaged in
two sizes. a 2-ounce can and
4-ounce can.
The smaller of these sizes is
recommended for the average sill
yer chest while the larger size is
ideal for a large silver chest,
drawer or cabinet. All that is
necessary is to place an open con-
tainer in the silver chest or drawer
near your clean, cherished silver.

from the air. preventing them
from coming in contact with the
silver. This action continues for
approximately two months, con-
stantly protecting the beauty of
your silver. A replacement with
fresh crystals continues the pro-
tective action.
These crystals are odorless and
are guaranteed completely harm
less to silver or anything else
with which they come in contact.
They will not stain.

Question: We would like to build
a playroom in our basement. Ad-
viers from different lumber yards
tell me l must use furring strips
in order to fasten the insulating
boards to the concrete blocks.
Would it be advisable to use
asphalt paint and press the a by 8
feet insulating boards against the
wall so they would stick to the
cement blocks?
Answer: Fibre wallboard, such
as you intend using. is compara-
lively soft, and while there are
special wallboard adheSives for
hard fibre types, I am afraid that
the weight of the large sheets
would cause the small fibres in
the insulating board to give way.
You can use the hard fibre boards
for your purpose with satisfactory
results.
Dealers of this material can also
furnish the adhesive. J am as
the concrete blocks pro-
vide a good level surface for this

Rev. Jesse t. Draper Who Served
MethOdists Here 81 Years
Ago and Son Leon Visit
Former Acquaintance

Rev. Jesse 7. Draper, now sc
and retired, living in Warren.on,
visited Manteo and spent the
night this week, renewing ac-
quaintances with old friends he
met when he served the Metho-
dist Churches of Roanoke Island
81 years ago.
He was accompanied by his son,
DR.. Leon Draper of Corpus Chris
tt, Texas, and his son-in-law, w.
A. Miles of Warrenton. They stop
ped at the Fort Raleigh Hotel.
Mrs. Draper is living and in good
health at Warrenton.
Dr.. Leon Draper, who was re-
membered with great pleasure by
his schoolmates of 81 years ago
when they attended the first Man
teo High School in a building
then occupying the site of the
home of George Greet, was about
the most apt student in his class.
After leaving Manteo he got his
ABB. at Duke, and medical educa-
ton at the University of Mary
land. He then attended the Uni
versity of Oklahoma Medical
School where he graduated and
took his internship. He set up a
large hospital in Amarillo, Texas,
for the Continental Oil Company
and ran it several years. In 1912
he entered the Navy, served
through the war with rank of
Commander in the Naval Air Ser
vice, and has since been engaged
in private practice in Corpus
Christi, his office being at 207
Wilson Building.
The Diapers were greatly i'm
pressed with the many changes
that have taken place since their
residence here. Rev. Mr.. Draper is
a remarkable man for his age
and last year few to Texas to
visit his son.

OADPROSPECTS
CAUSE BUILDING
ON OUTER BANKS
Citizens Make Considerable
Investment in Providing
More Tourist Accom-
modations

Hope for early completion of the
last link in the highway to Hat
teras has given encouragement to
a large investment on the part of
far-seeing citizens in construction
of tourist courts, apartments and
hotels. One of the larger projects
is a 2O-room hotel now being con-
struced by Charles T. Williams of
Avon. This hotel is located at the
principal entrance to the town.
A. S. Austin of Hatteras is
building tourist cottages on the
ocean front. Mr.. Austin also owns
a number of modern apartments
in town, built three years ago. Dan
Oden of Hatteras is erecting a
tourist accommodation near the
harbor.
George Fuller of Buxton is also
erecting an up to date group of
cottages for tourists at Cape Hat
teras. Henry Earl Tandy of Frisco
is completing a large recreation
center, it being one of the largest
buildings on the entire island, and
located on the open beach shortly
west of Frisco.
Many new homes have been built
in the past two years, with others
under construction, indicating re-
newed interest among the people
in remaining on the outer banks
During the many years of dis
enlargement, when it seemed that
the people of Hatteras Island haG
been completely forgotten by tbs
highway people, there was large
migration of citizens, who located
in other communities, seeking bet
ter schools, better roads and bet
ter opportunities of earning liv-
ing.

full that Court Ruling Will
Solve Hatteras High
School Problem

The final say about who has
the right to choose the site for
the Cape Hatteras Island High
School is to be left to the Su-
preme Court, and friendly suit"
is to be brought, according to ac-
ton taken by the Dare County
Board of Education this week. On
motion of Ellis Gray of Avon,
the Board agreed with him that
it appeared the only way to learn
who had the power, the county
school board, or the state school
board, to determine the location of
the school. The county board has
been holding out for the Avon
site; the state board for the Bux-
ton site.
On motion of Commissioner
Scarborough, seconded by Law
renee Swain, the Board of Com
missioners unanimously agreed to
support the Board of Education in
obtaining an Interpretation of the
law as applying to power to To-
cate school buildings.
This appears the only way the
boards can find to enable the chill
dren of the Outer Banks to get the
benefit of the money that has beer
available for two years to builC
them a school but which has beer
held up because the dispute ovel
the location between Buxton anC

20 feet on the west end of the
building, and it now has modern
kitchen, equipped with gas cook
stove, it has gas heaters, both in
the kitchen and lodge hall. The
building has a very large dining
room and is often used for District
meetings of the lodges of North
eastern North Carolina.
The members of Wanchese
Lodge are justly proud of their
lodge and the lasting good it has
done for the community and for
other parts of the county (about
third of the membership is
between Oregon Inlet and Halter
as Inlet) and the lodge is proud
of the brethren on the Blanks"
for, in all things, they are loyal to
the lodge.
Since the beginning of the lodge,
the following, to name few, have
been masters: w. P. Lennon, U. G.
