Mrs. Candy
By Frances Lide

Billed as Salute to Opera
lions Homefront," the party given
yesterday by the American News
paper Women's Club turned out
to be a surprise party honoring
Mrs. Margaret Hart Candy.
One of the co-founders of the
club, Mrs. Candy originated its
weekly series of Sunday open
houses for servicemen and women
which got underway last March.
And the tribute to her yesterday
was arranged hastily when mem
bers learned that she will leave
Sunday for Florida where she and
her husband, William NJ. Candy,
plan to spend considerable time
in the future at their new apart
ment at Redington Beach near st.
Petersburg.
Former society editor of The
Star, Mrs. Candy promised to
maintain an active role in the
club which she and Miss Katha-
rine M. Brooks founded in 1882.
But she refused to take the
credit for Operations homefront. +"
II had an idea" she said, "but it
took more than an idea. Irenee
Juno and Mrs. A. Burks Summers
are the ones who have put this
thing over. And they are the
ones who deserve the salute"
Miss Juno and Mrs. Summers
are co-chairmen of the Special
Events Committee of which Mrs.
Candy is chairman and which is
responsible for the Sunday serv-
ice fetes at which $500 enlisted
men and women already have
been entertained.
Mrs. Patricia O'Malley Strick-
land, president of the club, traced
its history in a brief speech in
which she pointed out that Mrs.
Canby's ideas have resulted in
such projects as benefits for
Children's Hospital. work for Grip
pied children and a fellowship
fund for the benefit of the clubs
own members.
She also presented the honor
guest with a token of the clubs
affection and appreciation. 1T will
have to be in the form of an
lou" she declared. But the
lou. turned out to be ''promissory
note" on a watercolor painting of
the clubhouse entrance similar to
one by Bertha Dougherty that
now hangs in its quarters at 1904
Twentieth street NV.
Mrs. Candy explained that she
and her husband will keep their
home here and expect to return to
Washington after Labor Day be-
fore going back to Florida later
in the fall. And I am not ever
going to leave the American News
paper Woman's Club" she said
to rousing round of applause.
The party was limited to mem
bers and their husbands or dates
and the last to arrive was Mr..
Candy. Although he frequently
attends the clubs entertainments,
he had planned to pass this one
up until some one got him on the
phone with the news that his
wife was the center of the fes-
tivities

In the overall picture, the general
business activity at the close of this
season will compare favorably and
in many instances, top previous
summers. Those who will find
larger income figures in their books
will be restaurants, stores, and
service enterprises such as gas sta
tions, dry cleaners, etc.

seek, primarily, the gaming table.

to profit by experience, we would
have learned during recent weeks
that certain man-made devices are
not the prime requisite for pros
porous summer season.

NEED FOR DOCKS AT
WANCHESE, MANTEO
STRESSED THIS WEEK

Director George Ross of the
North Carolina Department of
Conservation and Development who
came with his board to Manteo
this week stressed the needs for
improved waterways and docking
facilities in most of the coastal
fishing towns in general and at
Wanchese and Manteo on Roanoke
Islaadwiw-FaFt1cular.
The C andD Board came up from
Morehead City aboard the state
owned patrol craft Pamlico. Be-
cause of shallow water and the lack
of proper docking facilities the big
vessel had to anchor in the stream
off Wanchese. Last year it had
managed to come into Manteo Har-
Dor but was not brought here this
year due to lack of docking ia
cilities.
Director Ross emphasized the
need for cooperation between
county commissioners, town gov
ernments, chambers of commerce.
and the State of North Carolina in
pushing Improvement programs for
waterways and harbors to be done
by the federal government. Get
ting approval for waterway prof.
ects is one problem, but getting
the federal government to make
appropriations to carry on the
proposed work is an even bigger
problem.
Spokesman at the meeting here
pointed out that the Federal gov
eminent has long since approved
the deepening of Oregon Inlet and
the dredging of adequate channels
into the harbors of Manteo and
Wanchese. These projects were
brought about by committees work.

Fifteen Years Ago

Lindsay C. Warren, able repre-
sentative in Congress, may be
slated for the powerful post of
Comptroller of the Treasury, and
rumor has it his appointment is
in the bag and will be announced
when the President returns from
his vacation.
The Bank of Manteo has reason
to compliment itself because of the
fact that its quarterly statement
now reveals deposits on hand of
over $181 900, and shows a gain in
resources since the last published
statement amounting to over $40,-
600.
Harry Handy and another man,
with a boatload of lumber valued at
about $50 and bound for Frisco,
were taken off the sinking boat off
Frisco by the crew of Creeds Hill
Coast Guard Station Tuesday. The
boat sank in Pamlico Sound. The
cargo was lost.
Unusual generosity was dis
played recently by Uncle Cyrus
Gray of Salvo, a retired Coast
Guard man. Upon receiving his
bonus money, due for his service in
the Coast Guard, he called all his
children together and divided it
equally among them.
Wanchese Masonic Lodge, joint
ly with the members of the Eastern
Star, entertained upwards of 100
Masons of this district, including
many lodge notables, Wednesday
night and afternoon.
Yielding to the pressure of own
ers of acreage on the beaches at
Mays Head, the County Commits
sioners last week made it their
final decision to allow the values of
$40 an acre, as has been formerly
assessed, to stand on the 1886 tax
books. The land had been raised on
the tax books from $3.50 to $3.50 a
lot.
George Edward Pruden, officer
in charge of Pea Island Coast
Guard Station, is native of Roa-
noke Island and is the acme of po-
likeness and accommodation. White
travellers stranded on the beach
feel free and at home at his sta
ton, where quarters are fine, and
they are well fed. Many a traveller,
storm bound at Pea Island Station,
has gone his way next day singing
the praises of Capt. Pruden and
his friendly crew of colored men.

THE MULE is NOW FREE
(The Eatonton, Ca, Messenger

Remember a few decades ago
when everyone was feeling so sor-
~ for the poor mule. Despite his
stubbornness, the tired old mule
pulled a plow all day and then at
night, if any of the youngsters felt
spry enough to attend party, the
rugged animal was led from the
barn and hitched to the buggy for
a long drive over the countryside.
Come Saturday the farmers
knocked off at noon but not the
old mule. He merely changed his
task from pulling a pillow to being
hitched to a wagon tongue and off
went his master to buy supplies
for the next week. Everybody else
rested on the Sabbath except the
faithful mule.
Again he walked from his stable
and, securely hitched to a buggy.
stalked off to church and perhaps
an afternoon of joyriding and then
Sunday night singing. Even on
rainy days when all the fields were
too wet to pillow, the old mule would
be off in front of the wagon for a
load of wood or fence posts.
Times have changed, however,
and soon the mule might well take
his place with the dodo bird as
another extinct creature. The au-
tomobile relieved him of his task
of pulling buggies up and down
the roads. The trucks freed him
of his wagon duties and now the
tractor has replaced the pillow and
other mule drawn implements.
This completes the emancipation
of the dog-tired mule.
Farmers tell us that the mule
market is at new low. There is
simply no demand for them in Put,
man. So Old Ike and his fellow
workers are having fine time
roaming the pastures and living a
life of ease. Their only fear these
days is that beef will become so
high that the American public will
begin thinking of the palatibility
of mule meat.

BAREFOOT DANCERS
IN THE MAGAZINES
1.-THE Williamson Enterprise)


With special lighting equipment
that registered the gyrations of
jitterbugs at 1/5000th Of second,
Allan Gould, Honorary Tar Heel
who has shot score of magazine
picture stories with North Carolina
locales, completed another one here
on Saturday night.
Operating from the sidelines in
the crowded Mays Head Beach
Club, the noted lensman shot scores
of pict-re7 to complete The story
which will he seen from coast to
coast when n'7blished in Parade
Magazine. The club, owned by
Mays Header Hotel and operated
this season by George Fearing, has
long been famous for its check
room for shoes. A sign at the check
stand reads "Check your Shoes
here" It was originally placed
there as gag but vacationists
coming to the Dare Coast resort
soon took the sign seriously and
each evening dozens Of pairs OF
shoes are checked. The Beach Club
is not the only place where vaca-
tionists dance barefooted. Two
other night clubs here, Ras West
colts Casino and CASTOR Mann's
Blue Room also feature barefoot
dancing.
Gould returned to New York on
Sunday. During his 10 day visit
here at Mays Head he attended the
Honorary Tar Heel meeting at The
Carolinian Hotel before beginning
the shooting of three picture
stories.
OnetO Family Featured
In addition to the Barefoot Night
Club story for Parade, Gould, also
shot a color layout for Red Book
Magazine on the Julian Oneto fam
ilv at the Carolinian Hotel. Doc
Shumaker who teams with Gould
as writer came down to do the
story on the Red Book assignment.
Then for several nights, Gould
turned actor in The Lost Colony,
in order to shoot closeups of char
acters in the drama on the stage
and under natural theatre lights
instead of using flash bulbs. He ap-
peared as a bearded colonist with a
cane. What the audience did not
see on top of the cane, "a camera
stand) was the Rollief1ex camera
which he used for making the
closeups. The Lost Colony story by
Gould and his camera is slated for
the Metropolitan Newspaper group.

NEGROES AT THE
UNIVERSITY
1--WE the People of North Carolina,
May issue)

Nearly eight years ago this
magazine suggested that when the
four year medical school was es-
tablished at Chapel Hill the Uni
versity of North Carolina would
have to admit Negroes to that in
stitution unless the state provided
for the medical education of Ne
sroes at some other institution in
a school that was equal in equip
nent and teaching staff with that
established at Chapel Hill. Some
people felt that this was dragging
the race issue into the campaign
for medical care, but such was not
the case. 1t was merely an attempt
to look at the situation realistical-
ly.
This spring the Board of Trus-
tees of the University of North
Carolina did the only thing it could
do under the constitutions of the
state and nation. 1t voted to per-
nit qualified Negro students to
enter the medical school. Already
one such student has qualified and
will be on the classes when the
medical school opens this fall.
While this breaks a tradition as
old as the University itself, and
partially abandons the segregation
policy in North Carolina, the de-
cision of the Board of Trustees
was about the only one it could
make in view of the fact that North
Carolina is supporting only one
medical school with tax money.
