SHORE ON BAY
is SUBDIVIDED
FOR COTTAGES
Croatan Shores to Have Boat
Harbor, Dock, Access ton
Both Beaches

Kill Devil Hills. - A new de-
velopment in this area will fea-
ture Kitty Hawk bay shores,
H. E. Lawrence announced this
week. He represents Raleigh in
terests, which own the tract to
be known as Croatan Shores.
The development consists of
40 acres, starting some distance
west of Highway 158 and ex-
tending to the bay. 1t has 1900
feet of bay shore.
The access street, already
paved, will be extended to the
bay shore, so that every resi-
dent of the new development
will have access to that.
A natural canal is to be turned
into a boat harbor, which will
accommodate 40 to so boats.
This also will be reserved for the
use of all owners in Croatan
Shores. In connection with the
boat harbor, a dock will be built.
A road also will be built to
the ocean from the highway, so
that Croatan Shores residents
will have access to the Atlantic
beach.
Already the sound frontage
has been partially cleared, but
pine, mimosa, holly, bay, maple
and cedar trees have been left
in abundance. So far, two miles
of concrete road have been laid,
with easy curves as the street
follows the bay contour, and
with wide wings at the corners.
Three more miles of concrete
are to be laid.
Although the tract includes
space for 500 lots, 225 are to be
developed this year, Mr.. Law
renee said. The lots on either
side of the access road are high,
with low dunes on either side
Although all the lots are 60 feet
wide, they vary in depth from
100 to 700 feet.
Croatan Shores will be re-
stricted to residence property
except on either side of the boat
harbor Although no price re-
quirements will be fixed, plans
for all proposed cottages must
be approved.

CLUB is TAUGHT
HOW TO PREPARE
NEW LAMPSHADES
Kitty Hawk Home Demonstration
Members Plan for Picnic
on June 8

Kitty Hawk. - A demonstra-
ton on how to m a k e a m p
shades was given by Miss Mary
Kirby, county home agent, when
the Kitty Hawk Home Demon
stration club was entertained
Friday afternoon by Mrs. c. w.
Barnard. She showed how to
make use of old lamp shade
frames, how to make a pattern
for the cover and how to cover,
line and finish the shade. One
point that surprised most of the
members was that the outside
cover goes on first and the lining
last. The. lining, Miss Kirby said,
should always be white, in order
not to absorb light.
In connection with this, Miss
Kirby also advised using clear
fingernail polish on cut edges to
prevent raveling.
If, instead of making shade,
the homemaker wants to buy a
new shade for lamp, Miss Kirby
recommended that she take the
lamp with her, to be sure the
shade chosen was of the right
size and shape. Miss Kirby dis
tributed tape measures presented
by the Virginia Electric, and
Power Co.
In a business session, members
discussed participation in potato
festival recipe and sewing con-
tests. Those entering recipes for
dishes made of potatoes were
to have them and the prepared
food at Manteo May 6 for a pre-
Gminary county contest, to de-
eide who could enter the festi-
val contest at Elizabeth City.
Plans also were made for a
joint picnic with the Mays Head
club, at noon June 3 at the First
Colony Inn. Members decided
what each one should take to the
picnic luncheon, which will be
served on the porch.
Mrs. Katherine Perry was
awarded the 'black horse" gift
brought by Mrs. Earl Keller, who
won one last month. The gift
was a pot for African violets.
At the close of the meeting
the hostess served cake ano
punch.
All but one member, Mrs
Edgar Perry, was present. The
others, besides the hostess were
Mrs. Arnold Perry, Mrs. Rosie
Baum, Mrs. Mary Best, Mrs
R. B. Cobb, Mrs. Mary Dowdy
Mrs. w. J. Freeman, Mrs. Ear.
Keller, Mrs. Katherine Perry
Mrs. Edith Sewers, Mrs. Minnie
Lee Tabor, Mrs. Maggie Tillett
Mrs. Jack Twiford and Mrs
Oscar Sanderlin, the latter two
being new members. Guests be-
sides Miss Kirby were Mrs. Mary

MARINE THEME
is EMPHASIZED
IN NEW SHOP
Work of Areas Artists and
Craft Workers to Be Fea-
tured at Anchor

Mays Head. - The marine and
beach atmosphere is emphasized
in a recently opened gift shop,
the Anchor, with work of beach
artists and craftsmen featured.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. (Abie and
Bess) Williams, who live on the
Oregon Inlet road, operate the
shop, which not only carries
gift items but also supplies
fishermen's needs.
The building housing the shop
was once the guides cottage at
Lone Cedar club, which the Will
iams own. They had it moved
to its present location, near the
small bridge to Ponds Island.
They have paneled the inside
walls with cypress and painted
the ceiling green. All the fix
lures, display cases and shelves
were made of cypress by Mr..
Williams.
1t seems natural for the fam
lily to be interested in establish
ing a salty flavor to the shop,
for Mr.. Williams and their two
sons have been in the navy.
He, indeed, is a reserve COM
mander.
Emphasizing the name of the
shop, is an anchor, placed near
the highway, which belonged to
Toby Tillett when he operated
the Oregon Inlet ferry. Inside,
while the sportsman in the tour
ist family pores over fishing
tackle, bait, crabnets or rents
boat, the women folk oh and ah
over Mrs. Williams seacrafts.
She has used shells, sea horses
and other marine life, mounted
on boards, to form decorative
pictures. Some of her oil paint
lngs of scenes in the area are
on display, and she has hand
painted cocktail napkins with a
beach motif.
Besides her own work, Mrs.
Williams has some of Mrs.
Madge Marshall's ceramics, and
fat little pots of grape jam pre-
pared by Mrs. j. L. Murphy. AS
rapidly as she can locate local
craft workers or artists, Mrs.
Williams plans to add their work
to the collection of gift items.

and Mrs. Russell Perry were
named on the committee.
If the rumor is correct, the
plan is to establish a game re-
fuge at Caffey's Inlet. Members
of the club expressed opposi
ton to this, on the grounds that
it would exempt more land from
taxation, thus increasing the tax
burden on other sections, and
that it would interfere WITH
hunting and fishing.

cided upon at meeting of all the
Arab members of the Mixed Arm

more than to cause damage; al
though damage has been done in
the case of the mining of the rail-

The propaganda side of it was
revealed when Jordan took ad.

place for them. If they have spec
ial skills, better yet, because there
is a need for them. But our big
gest problem, he adds earnestly,
'"is funds. We need help to. take
care of those who come to Israel
seeking a haven"
Many newcomers are settled on
the vast, arid Negev, and here,
says Kaliser, the biggest problem
is water. The water is available,
he hastily adds, but the materials,
such as pipe to bring it the long
distances, are not so easily had.
"We have many skilled machin-
lists and engineers, he says, "but
we need materials, not only for
pipes but also building materials
for our housing"
Asked about the Arabs, KaliSer
replied that those who stayed in
Israel are treated like everyone
else. There is no discrimination
nor are there any privileges. AS
for those who left, they are "just
out of the picture" Communists
he says, the few that there are
are closely watched, and never
get out of hand.

Accusations

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Premiel
David Ben Gurion told the Israel
Parliament that the Israel Gov.
ernment rejects with all the EN-.
phasis at it's command the allie
cation made by the Soviet Gov.
ernment that the bombing of the
Soviet Legation in Tel Aviv took
place with the connivance of Is
rael police.
Speaking in a crowded and
heavily guarded chamber, the
Premier pointed out that numer-
Gus attacks have taken place of
Soviet diplomats in foreign coun-
tries as well as on foreign diplo-
mats in the Soviet Union, never
theless the Moscow government
did not break off diplomatic rela-
tions in retaliation of these acts
as was the case now with regard
to Israel.
The Israel Government, Prem
ier Ben Gurion said, learned of
the Soviet decision to break off
relations with amaZement and
grave concern" 1t could find no
justification for this astonishing
step" since the reasons for the
severance of relations indicated
in the Soviet note "have no basis
in fact and the practice of the So
Wet Union itself in international
affairs is not in keeping with
them"
Mr.. Ben Gurion, in his state
ment to the Parliament, empha-
sized that the Israel Foreign Min
istry had offered police guard for
the Soviet Legation some time
ago but the offer was rejected by
the Legation. He noted that not
even the Soviet police were al
ways able to prevent crimes and
referred to the murder of for
eign ambassador in Moscow for
which the Soviet Government die
not blame the police.
