Those of us who love the Walter
Raleigh Coastland better than any
other place under the sun get to
thinking sometimes that there is
no other place to compare with it
in natural beauty. A trip now and
then away from home is a good
reminder that we often lack in
natural beauty and advantages a
few things, that have to be made
up by other attractions. While we
may be losing lot of it, we have
a remainder of the prime requisite
left, and that is hospitality, no
more evident than on the Outer
Banks.

sons, all grown to manhood with
out mishap. Three of them have
served their country during the
last war, and two are still in the
service, one in California, another
on the southern coast. Howard is
in the Matchmaking trade in Win
ston-Salem, and Mac, the young
est son, remains at home to COM
fort his parents and serves them
well.
Because he is blind, he seldom
leaves home, not being able to see
anything if he goes. But he espe-
cially delights in the visits of old
friends who will sit and talk with
him about old times, and refresh
his collection of the interesting
and amusing capers of the young
men of forty and fifty years ago
on Roanoke Island.
Sorry to have missed the bridge
meeting in Columbia Wednesday,
but having taken in so many
things during the past month, l
got loaded up with other neglected
things l had to do. Nothing is
more pleasant than to visit these
events and meet again with fine
people from many communities of
the Coastland, and the finest thing
about it is the usual good dinner
that is provided.
Something to impress us favora-
bly, now should be the unusual ac-
tivity that is manifested by so
many of the womens and mems
clubs and fraternal organizations.
Every week we see where the Ma
sons, or the Ruritans, or the East
ern Star, or Parent Teachers As
sociations throughout the coast
land are going to, or already have
put on a big get-together. These
events are more important than
might appear at casual glance.
The fellowships and goodwill
aroused, usually follows everybody
home and lasts for long time.
When folks are feeling good and
happy, with their mind off their
troubles for a time at least, they
are capable of accomplishing
many more wholesome things for
themselves and their neighbors.
We need more and more of these
get-together meetings to spread
goodwill.

Hyde County State College club
had a ladies' night meeting at Ho-
tel Engelhard.
Mr.. Shoffner, assistant director
of the Extension Service at the
college, was introduced by w. H.
Pruden, county agent, at the meet
ing at which Leon Balance pre-
sided.
He showed slides of the new
buildings, some of which have
been completed and others of
which are under way. The build
ing program was designed as a
five-year plan.
The college now has dormitory
space for all its students. Although
its faculty is outstanding in all
fields, Mr.. Shoffner said, it ranks
particularly high in textiles, agri-
culture, forestry, and all phases
of engineering. The Extension
Service employs more than 700
persons, including county farm
and home agents, and is second
to none in efficiency or size, he
declared.
Mr.. Shoffner also said that at
State college education came first
and athletics were a sideline. No
student, he explained, it ever ex-
cused from a class or laboratory
to practice football.

tuxent in Maryland.
Compared with our eastern
North Carolina, which has much
of waste and marsh that offers
little possibility of development,
the rivershores of Virginia and
Maryland are mostly of high land.
Plantations centuries old, and many
stately mansions may be seen
along the rivershores. The beau
tiful settings of these homes are
often many feet above the water
level, affording greater advan-
tage for the view.
The magnificent estates have
the advantages of many, even hun
dreds of years of landscaping and
improvement-of stately old trees
and well-planned grounds. Yet
many people who have lived in
the lovely areas along these rivers
and bays of Virginia and Maryland
are now coming to our coastland
to build resort homes. Many of
them wish to remove themselves
from the crowded areas. But
suspect that they are attracted
here for another reason too, and
that is the friendliness and hospi-
tally of our people, famed for SO
many years because of the atmos-
phere of ''feeling-at-home" it
builds for our visitors.
During the past week have al
so spent day and night in Nor
folk, visited Kitty Hawk and
Manns Harbor. The most enjoyable
visit l have had in many day
was my Sunday night pop-call to
the home of George Thyme of
Manteo. For several years he has
been totally blind, but he looks
fine physically. He has a good
memory of other days, and old
times, when he was rated one OF
the best house carpenters in the
Coastland, and he told me many in
cidents of his rich memories of
long ago when he build houses in
various parts of Dare County, OF
fished in the waters around Duck
Island and Herring Shoal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thyme are happy
in having been blessed with five
