Ell GAY ADDS
YEAR AROUND
| CAFE-FOUNTAIN
Former CuIpepper Home Re.
modelled With Seating
Capacity of SO

Mays Head.-A year around res
taurant, to be run in connection
with Ell Gay motor court, will be
ready to open early in April. Ed
ward L. Brown and his brother,
Elmer E Brown, are the owners.
The restaurant will be located in
converted house, next door south
to the motor court. This was for
merly the home of Eldon Culpep-
per.
The entire front of the building
has been opened into one room,
where SO persons can be seated in
booths and at tables. On the north
side of the room will be a soda
fountain and equipment for pre-
pairing quick meals. Behind the
fountain will be mirror backbar.
Stainless steel will be used for the
cooking equipment.
The dining room will have a red
greaseproof tile floor. Walls above
the booths will be painted aqua
and the ceiling will be spray blue.
Tables and counters will be mother
of pearl gray with red trim.
The front wall will be plate
glass.
Besides the main kitchen at the
rear of the dining room, wide
porch on the oceanside will be
glassed in as a work room.
Parking space has been provid-
ed both in front and at the back
of the building.
E. L. Brown, explaining his
plans for the restaurant, said that
it would be kept open the year
around. After operating the Ell Gay
motor court through the winter,
he is convinced that more people
would come to Mays Head in win
ter if they could find a arestaurant
open.
In preparation for the opening
of the vacation season, the Browns
plan to do some redecorating in
the 10 cottages in Ell Gay. The
flat-roofed stucco buildings, finish
ed in pastel shades of pink, blue,
yellow and green give the court
Spanish look and customers often
comment on how appropriate the
Spanish" name of Ell Gay is. Ac-
tually, the court is named for Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Browns children,
Edward Lee, Jr., and Gayle.
Operated last year for the first
time, the 10 units are so arranged
that they can be rented as cot
tages. By locking a door between
the bedroom and kitchen, however,
half can be rented as an efficiency
apartment and the other half as
private room.
Most of the cottages have a liv-
ing room which can be turned into
a bedroom. The sofa opens into
bed and metal dresser-desk COM
bination serves a double purpose.
Between this and the other bed
room is a kitchenette with drop
leaf table and built in equipment.
Off each of the rooms is bath and
clothes closet. The bedroom has an
outside door, for use when the cot
tage is rented as two, units.
A few of the cottages will accom-
modate six, with two bedrooms,
sofa bed in the living room and
large kitchenette.
Although the Ell Gay already had
an electric heating system, more
overhead units are being added.
These operate automatically, and
in summer can be used as a cool
ing system.

OUTSIDE PAINT
TO DRESS UP
MACS HEADER
Five in cuIpepper Family
Solve Executive Help
Problem in Hotel

Mays Head.-Although the Mays
Header will not open until the lat
ter part of May, the owner, G. c..
Culpepper of Elizabeth City, and
his son, G. c. Culpepper, Jr., are
planning on an exterior paint job,
as well as some interior redecorat-
ing.
Most of the work will be on the
main hotel, for the annex, to the
south, does not need it. The annex,
formerly the Beach Club, was re-
modelled for guest rooms only last
summer.
What was the dance hall has
been turned into IA guest rooms,
each with bath. They are furnish
ed with metal furniture with
bleached wood finish, which has
shown no signs of the rust that is
the constant enemy of metal on
the beach.
AS in the hotel proper, all the
rooms have louvred doors as well
as solid ones. The louvred doors
provide cross ventilation without
sacrificing privacy.
Across the entire front of the
building is a lobby, where bamboo
furniture has been used exclusive
ly. Adding another beach note are
two lamps made of massive pieces
Of driftwood. G. c. Culpepper, Jr.,
who is something of an electrician,
made them, and has been pleased
by the attention they have drawn,
though he's had to smile at the peo-
pie who asked him if he plastered
the barnacle shells on one of them.
A wide porch surrounds the whole
barnacle shells on one of them. A
wide porch surrounds the whole
building, giving guests an unob-
structed view of the ocean as we'll
as of the dunes in the opposite di-
rection.
The annex is connected with the
main hotel by a concrete walk. At
the main hotel, guests walk from
the suns glare into the cool dim
ness of a cypress paneled lobby,
where log fire burns in the fire
place on a cool evening. Opening
off the lobby is the dining room,
where both hotel and annex guests,
as well as others, are served. Part
of the porch on the oceanside has
been enclosed in an alcove off the
dining room, so that visitors may
watch the ocean even as they eat.
The Mays Header is one of the
older hotels on the beach and has
a clientele that includes many who
have been here every summer for
years.
With five members of the family
on hand throughout the summer,
executive help is not prorblem at
the Mays Header. Mr.. and Mrs. G.
c. Culpepper and Mr.. and Mrs. G.
c. Culpepper, Jr., operate the hos
tel. Mrs. Carolyn Boykin, a daugh-
ter, the annex. In addition, E. R.
Spence has held down the night
clerk job for years. Even in the
dining room and kitchen, the same
colored help has been employed
every summer for years.
