tired Coast Guardsman like

a sturgeon that weighed 100

STICKS BUY
ACREAGE ON
VIRGIN ISLAND
Father, Son See Growing
Possibilities for Winter
Development

Southern Shores.-After a win
ter vacation at Key West, Fla,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Stick have re-
turned to their home here. While
away, he and his son, David Stick,
bought 1000 acres on st. Johns,
the smallest of the Virgin Islands,
and have an option on another
area.
'Ttat doesn't mean I'm deserving
Southern Shores" Mr.. Stick ex-
planned. "That will always be my
first interest"
Their plans for development are
in the nebulous stage as yet, Mr..
Stick said. He believes, however
that the tract has great POSSIBLE
ties as a winter resort.
FLORIDA is too crowded and too
sophisticated" he declared. "a lot
of people who have been going
there are tired of it. They've tried
Mexico, the Bahamas, Bermuda
and other wintering places, but do
not want to invest money in for
eign countries. Since the Virgin
Islands are United States posses
sions, they eliminate that reluct-
ance.

ding that these figures held the

one reason the temperature was
SO steady was the fact that the
beach shelves off quickly, so that a
comparatively short distance out
the water is deep.
st. Johns is only about eight
miles long and approximately two
miles wide, Mr.. Stick said. The
acreage he and his son bought in
cludes the two highest mountains
on the island and five valleys.

MEXICO LAND
OF CONTRASTS
SYKES FINDS
Sea Ranch Opens as Operat-
ors Return to Beach At
ter Winter Vaca-
ton

Southern Shores.-After win
ter in Mexico, Mr.. and Mrs. H. T.
Sykes, who operate the Sea Ranch
hotel in Southern Shores, have re-
turned and will open the hotel this
week end.
After three weeks there, they
went to Cuernavaca, which is As
minutes south of Mexico City by
a modern four-lane highway. AS
the grounds had beautiful gar
den, the gardener came with the
house, and the owners suggested
that it would be well to employ
the gardeners wife. Although they
had not planned to have maid, the
Sykeses readily agreed to employ
the young women when they learn
ed that her wage amounted to only
% cents day.
This couple had children, for
whom Mr.. and Mrs. Sykes arrang-
ed gay Christmas. Instead of
having a Christmas tree, the fol-
lowed the Mexican custom of hav-
ing a pinata. This is a fish, fowl,
or some animal made of paper.
Theirs was in the form of a fish,
made so carefully that every scale
was there. In the center is a jug,
filled with presents. When the pin
alta is hung, each child, blindfolded
and welding a bat, tries to hit
the jug with sufficient force to
break the jar, thus cascading the
presents.
On a fishing trip, Mr.. Sykes
caught sailfish which measured
between eight and nine feet long.
Mexico, Mr.. and Mrs. Sykes
found to be a country of contrasts.
A few have great wealth, while
most of the people are hopelessly
poor. Although most living condi-
tons are far behind those in the
United States, there are some
highways as good as any to be
found here. In some cities, archi-
lecture is more advanced than in
this country, said Mrs. Sykes, who
attributed that to the fact that the
Mexicans excel in the arts and ar
chitecture is a form of art.
Except for minor preparations,
the Sea Ranch did not have to
have any work done on it befbre
the opening. An addition was built
last year, as were quarters for en-
ployes.
The 81 rooms are of the cabana
type, made up for the day as a
living room, overlooking the ocean.
They open on a covered terrace. In
connection with each is a dressing
room.
The dining room and bar are
reached by a breezeway and out
door stairs. AS the whole front Of
the diningroom, overlooking the
ocean, is glass, every diner gets a
view of the sea. Chinese peel fur
niture is used in this room.

engagements to have three buildings
on the acreage restored. One of
these is almost a mansion. The
Stick also plan to build a winter
cottage there.
Before buying the acreage on
st. Johns, Frank Stick made three
trips there this winter and David
Stick also visited the island.
According to Mr.. Sticks obser-
vations, Florida had poor winter
season. He explained that over
building had brought on stiff COM
petition, with the result that the
less desirable property went beg
ging for customers.
