From Mrs. H. o. j., Falls Church,
I have many times successfully
embroidered patterns on monks

like. such as a picture. Trace it
onto graph paper. For each square

use a square of the monkscloth
consisting Of four sections. two
across and two down. This method
involves careful counting but is
not hard to do. If you fold the
paper pattern in half each way.

a large eye) is the best to use.
You may obtain these in depart

working but 1t is not necessary.

place curtain chosen for exactly
the reasons Miss P. ]. P. mentions
such as safety for small children
and a small room. We are very
pleased with the curtain and
would have nothing else. Fol
others who are planning on buying
fireplace equipment, let me urge
the choice of a crate rather than
andirons. Every bit of the fuel
is consumed in a CRATE and there
is not the constant care that is
required with andirons.

DOG PROBLEM.

From Miss c. L. B., Washington
Why not put a seat cover on one
of your new chairs and help the
dog to understand that he must
only sleep on that chair? That Is
what we did with our dog. It can.
quickly be removed If company
comes. Our dog would stand in
front Of the chair until the cover
was put back. We also had a
basket for him on the floor which
was padded on the sides and he
often slept In that. We always
took the basket with us on long
auto trips. Our dog lived to be
almost 10 and we now have a cat
which uses the same chair. We,
too, live in an apartment.

DARE CHAMBER
| ASKS STATE TO
COMPLETE ROAD
President to Sound Out Pos
sibilities for County Travel
and Advertising Council

The Board of Directors, Dare
County Chamber of Commerce, met
in the Community Building here
July II. 1t was agreed to ask the
support of Gov. w. Kerr Scott by
letter in completing the Mays
Head-Hatteras road between Ore
gon Inlet and Rodanthe. 1t had
been said that the work was held
up due to the fact that the govern
ment had not approved the building
of the highway across Pea Island
National Wildlife Refuge. How
ever, the federal government gave
the green light to the project a
few days ago as a result of the eff
forts of Rep. Herbert Bonner.
When the state wishes to build the
road-link, there is now nothing to
prevent it's accomplishment.
President Alvah H. Ward was
appointed a one-man committee to
contact and work with the county
and town boards and civic organ
izations to the end that a travel
and advertising council might be
formed on a countrywide basis.

ROTARIANS PLEDGE
TO HELP PURCHASE
SPRAYING MACHINE

At the Monday evening meeting
Of the Manteo Rotary Club, Bill
Hardy, Business Manager of TIE
Lost Colony, presented a plan for
securing a Jogging machine to be
used in protecting patrons of the
Lost Colony and other Dare Coun-
ty tourists from mosquitoes and
other insects. The club gave re-
snorse to Mr.. Hardy's suggestion
that tickets be sold for the Vir-
GINA Dare Day Performance of the
Lost Colony and the proceeds
therefrom be used to defray tine
cost of purchase and operation of
new device which is said to De
highly successful in destroying the
bothersome insects. Attendance had
been affected seriously in recent
nights because of the presence of
mosquitoes, and the machine which
is rI b. purchased Immediately will
enable audiences to enjoy the local
drama in a mosquito-free atnos-
phere for the remainder of the sea-
son Other civic groups are bein.:
asked to participate in this project
WI ch will be of benefit TO cur en-
tire vacation-land.
The club members and visitors
enjoyed a program of vocal music
provided by Mrs. Helyne McLail of
New York City. Mrs. McLain plays
the role of Dame Coleman in the
Lost Colony and is also a member
of the Lost Colony Chorus. Eliza
Cock of Princeton, New Je 'sey, and
assistant organist for the Lost Col.
Ony, accompanied Mrs. McI,ain at
the Piano. Also the guest of Waily
McCown, program chairman, was
Gere McLain of New York City,
who plays the Indian Chieftain

Board agreed that round trips of
1927 miles daily to attend school
were not proper for primary grade
children.
The delegations presented res
olution passed by the Dare county
Board of Education requesting the
continued operation of the two
schools to the state school officials.
Strings Attached
The State Board did not accede
to the entire propositions of the
two delegations, however. It voted
to assign one elementary teacher
for the lower grades at Rodanthe
and ruled that upper elementary
pupils and high school students
must be transported to the Buxton
School. Last term Rodanthe had
one high school and two element
airy school teachers.
The Board refused to grant the
Stumpy Point delegations request
for two teachers, one more than
was assigned to the school last
term. The second faculty member,
the Stunpy Pointers contended,
would make it possible for an ele-
nentary school of eight grades to
be maintained, doing away with the
necessity of sending any element
airy pupils on the 27-mile daily trip
to attend school at Engelhard.
The Dare County Board of Edu-
cation was given authority to de-
termine how many grades to es-
tablish in the one-teacher Rodanthe
school. Stumpy Point, which had
four grades last term, will con-
tinue on that basis.

MANTEO FIRE DEPT.
GETS HIGH PRAISE
FOR SPLENDID WORK

Fire Chief Ivey Evans recently
received letter commencing the
work of the Manteo Fire Depart
ment at fire on the Dare beach
from the General Manager of the
Halsey Hardwood Co. of Edenton.
His letter is a feather in the cap
of the ManteO fire fighters. It
reads:
Halsey Hardwood Co., Inc.
Edenton, N. C.
July 3, 1851.
Fire Chief
Manteo, N. C.
Dear Sir:
happened to be a spectator at
the fire at Kitty Hawk Beach this
past Saturday night, and as such,
l want to take this opportunity to
congratulate you and your Fire
Department for the splendid work
which they did in fighting the fire
on the Beach Saturday night. Dur
ing the past several years | have
had an opportunity to observe fire
companies from small communities,
as we'll as cities, fight fire and
want to say that have never, as
yet, seen Fire Department dis
play such ability and courage as
your Department did on the Beach
during this fire. Knowing that the
water supply was very limited,
noticed that they made every drop
count and l don't believe they
could have done better job if they
had had all the city water mains
in large city at their disposal.
l have been fortunate enough for
the past IL or Is years to have my
family spend the summer at our
little cottage at Kitty Hawk Beach.
l manage to go to the Beach and
visit them every weekend, and oc-
casionally some night during the
week. AS a summer resident and
property owner at Kitty Hawk
Beach, l want you and your De-
partment to know that after Satur-
day night, l have had better feel
ing of security for my little family
at the Beach, especially concerning
the fire hazard since witnessing the
scene at Kitty Hawk Saturday
night.
Very truly yours,
c. T. Griffin,
General Manager.

DARE BEACHES OFFICIAL
RESENTS RECENT RUMOR
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
The Dare Beaches Chamber of
Commerce has been publicly ac-
cused by an organization in Man
teo, N. c., of holding the tourist
trade to the north end of the
beach. The records at the Informa-
ton Booth show that several par
ties have been sent to Manteo
guest houses listed with us. Any
one listed with us will be recon-
mended regardless of location.
We do our best to place strang-
ers in the accommodations they
want regardless of district; but we
cannot send strangers to accom-
modations that are not listed with
us, neither can we make the tourist
spend his vacation where he. does
not choose. to go.

MAY RAISE FEES FOR COMMISSIONERS

United States Commissioners in Alaska will be able to retain as annual compensation $7,5O0 in net fees instead of the present $5,000 limit if the terms of a bill Delegate Bartlett introduced last week in the House becomes law.
 In 1948, the limit on the cell ing of $3,O00 in effect for AS years was raised to $5,000. On March 20 of this year the Judi cial Conference adopted the rec ommendation to raise the limi- tation on the net fees which commissioners in the Territory may retain from $5,000 to $7,50O a year, and two days later Dele gate Bartlett introduced the leg islatione to place the recom- mendation in effect.

GAINESVILLE ENTERPRISE

Ratification of the 22 n d amendment to the U. S. Consti- tuition, limiting any future Pres ident to two terms, is probably the most pointed rebuke ever given a dead President. It is the nations way of saying now that its experience with third and fourth terms was not a sat iSfactory one.
 The speed with which the lat est amendment was ratified by 36 states is significant. Equally significant is the fact that rati- fication by the 36th state came in Nevada where both houses of the legislature are over Whelmingly Democratic :. 7.
