FORMER AVON TEACHER,
lNJUR'D, RECEIVES GIFTS

1t will be of interest to MANY
people in Dare County to learn
that Harold Suits of Route
Liberty, who was principal of
the school at Avon a few years
ago, was unfortunately injured
IN an automobile accident De-
cember l, and this injury to his
spine has caused him to be laid
up indefinitely. This fine look
ing young man, 27-years old, has
learned however, that he is high
ly regarded, for he not only re-
.ceiVed for Christmas, a televis-
ion set, but $500 in cash sent in
by admiring friends; this was
the proceeds of a fish and oys-
ter supper. He is the son of MIR.
and Mrs, N. R. Suits of Route l,
Liberty, N. c. Mr.. Suits is sue
cessful Scoutmaster, has a mas
tiers degree in English and has
taught English, chemistry and
biology. He was working as a
laboratory assistant at the time
of his injury. The television set
came as the result of the televis-
ion show at New York about him,
and another $500 resulted from
Ia contribution of the Arthur
Murray convention in New York.
The total in cash given him is
$1,000.

CITY RESIDENTS
DISCOVER WINTER
BEACH ATTRACTION

Kill Devil Hills.-Cavalier Mo-
tor Court, open all winter, will be
ready for the season, with T. J.
Utz, who operates it, making such
minor repairs as are needed.
Although hunting brought GUS
toners during the open season,
and he expects more when fishing
is good, Mr.. Utz said much of his
business this winter had been from
persons living in cities who want
to get away from the crowds and
hustle over a week end. Many of
them have been from Washington,
Arlington and Alexandria.
Speaking of the prospects for
the summer season, Mr.. Utz said
he looked forward to even more
vacationists than in the past. This
will be the fourth summer Cavalier
Court has been in operation.
On thing Mr.. Utz said he would
like to see on the beach is a con-
crete walk all the way.
People who want to go to the
postotfice or a nearby store don't
want to have to drive, but walking
along the highway is far too dan-
gerous. I'd like to see a walk laid,
with the cost charged up to indi-
vidual property owners, just as
walks or paving would he in a
city,"

NEWMAN'S FIND OF RARE
SHELL COMPOUNDS EXPERTS

Mays Head.-On a Pacific beach
that a university professor of
conchology has been combing for
years, j. L. Newman of the New
man Shell and Gift Shop, walked
out and picked up two fergusoni.
They are so rare that the univer-
sity professor, who had hunted for
them in vain, turned green with
envy when Mr.. Newman took the
. shells to him for Identification.
This happened on Mr.. Newman's
recent trip with his family to No
gales, Ariz., Mexico and the Gulf
of California and Pacific beaches.
Those beaches are a concholo-
gist's paradise, with some $4,000
varieties of shells to be found. The
fergusoni are of the conus family,
of which there are $50 types. Cone
shaped, as their name implies,
these shells are nothing to excite
an amateur, as they are pale in
color, smooth and with no startling
characteristics. To find them, how
ever, is so unusual that they are
more prescious than rubies in the
conchologist's eye.
Besides these, Mr.. Newman
brought home two unusual star
fish to add to his wierd collection.
One of them is not much bigger
than a quarter and has some odd
markings. The other is larger. Both
are a rich RUSTY brown, and they

are shaped like five-pointed star
atop Christmas tree. In his col
lection, Mr.. Newman has star
fish with from three to % points.
On some, the points are long and
snaky; on others, such as the new
additions, they are fat triangles
growing out from a wide center.
Hunting shells is more serious
business to Mr.. Newman than to
the average person, walking along
beach and picking up what
free-handed ocean lays at his feet.
Mr.. Newman digs for what he gets
and often has to lift rocks to find
the creatures that move around by
night and hide by day.
Speaking of the number of paper
nautilus shells found last year and
again this winter on this beach,
Mr.. Newman said it might be Is
years before another is seen. This
shell, really an egg case, is formed
by the female argonaut, a member
of the squib family who lives at
the bottom of the ocean. In it she
lays her eggs. In August, she
makes an excursion to the surface,
out in the middle of the ocean, and
releases the fragile little gondola
with its burden of eggs.
Presumably, Mr.. Newman eX-
planned, she goes to the middle of
the ocean where there are fewer
birds to bother the eggs until the
hot August sun matches them. The
frail cradle rides the waves, never
coming near land, unless series
of storms move it toward the shore
and gentle wind from exactly
the right direction guides it ten
derby to rest on the sand. Even
then, it will be crushed against the
rocks of rough coast.
Although some nice dead shells
can be found, the real collector
seeks shells which still contain the
living animal. Getting the creature
out is a problem calling for the
conchologist's patience and skill as
we'll as his know-how.
A one-valve shell is stood up on
the open end, and at just the right
moment, when the creature within
has become so weak that it can no
longer cling to the inner recesses
of its house, it relaxes its grip and
can be lifted out without much
trouble.
Everybody, of course, looks for
conchs and the best time to find
them is rapidly approaching,-the
last of January and through Feb
ruary, according to Mr.. Newman.
That's because they are sound
asleep, so that when they are wash
ed ashore they go right ahead
sleeping, instead of crawling back
into the sea.
Live conch shells are light in col
or, but the longer a dead shell
stays in the water the darker it
becomes. 1t about so years a conch
shell will turn ebony black, and
will take ahighpolish.
The reason the amateurs shell
treasures do not retain their luster
and beauty is that the owners don't
know how to take care of them,
Mr.. Newman confded. A shell
should be thoroughly cleaned and
then treated with mineral oil of
some kind,-the type used on ba-
bies does well. This seems to halt
the action of the calcium in the
shell, which left to itself, will grad
ually turn the shell dull white.
'rPeople place fine shell on the
mantle or a shelf, where it collects
dust. They never think of washing

; Negroes Elected
In Atlanta 10 School
And Election Posts
BY the AsSccioted Press

ATLANTA, May 13.-Atlanta,
O. Democratic stronghold for
many decades, gave public posts
to three Negroes in a primary
which set a precedent by omit
ting the label of Democrat"
Mayor William B. Hartsfeld,
president of the American Mu-
nicipal Association, was re-elect-
ed to a fifth term yesterday. His
opponent, Charlie Brown, former
Fulton County Commissioner,
declared Mr.. Hartsfield's 7,141
margin of victory was due to
NEGRO bloc voting"
DR.. Rufus G. Clement, Negro
president of Atlanta University,
defeated his white opponent, j.
H. Landers, in race for a school
board post held by Mr.. Landers
for 26 years. The vote was on
a city-Wide, not ward basis and
gave Mr.. Clement 22,142, Mr..
Landers 1890.
Not since reconstruction days
had a Negro tried for election
to the Atlanta Board of Educa-
tion. Negroes also won a meas
ure of political recognition in
election, for the first time, of
two of their race to the 16-mem-
ber City Executive Committee,
which governs elections. Their
election was decided on a ward
basis.
Mr.. Hartsfeld received 32,253
votes to 25,114 for Mr.. Brown.
There were 110,519 eligible
voters.
The contests actually were de-
cided in a Democratic primary
with the label of Democrat" re-
moved. This forestalled compli-
cations that might have arisen
because of the fact that so many
electors voted Republican in the
1852 election.
A. T, Walden. Negro lawyer,
was unopposed for seat on the
City Executive Committee in the
predominately Negro third ward.
Miles Amos defeated Rod Harris
for another committee seat. Both
are Negroes.

Old Highway Commission
Abolished by New Law

President Eisenhower yester-
day signed the first of a series
of bills proposed by Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia, to abolish a number Of
useless" commissions, which
have been on the books for many
years.
The one signed today abolishes
the commission on the construc-

This commission was set up
some years ago to promote a
major highway between Wash
ington and Gettysburg. Since
then, Maryland has developed
major arteries to Gettysburg.
Senator KnoWland also offered
bills to abolish an old commits
sion on the enlargement of the
Capitol Grounds and another

ment of a national memorial
