VIRGINIA BEACH. Va. - A
favorite pastime among many
VirginianS is crabbing-a sport
that is fine if you know some
thing about it. But the trouble
is that a great many persons
know so little about the sport.
that they overlook the opportu-
mites provided for taking it up
in Virginia.
One of the best places for
that sport is at the Narrows,
near Virginia Beach.
Some 800 or 400 persons turn
out there each week end, and
most of them come away with
a nice basket full Of crabs. They
can cut next weeks grocery bill
considerably, while still provid-
ing an excellent dinner.
To get to the Narrows, the mo-
torist should go to Virginia
Beach. There, at Sixty-fourth
street, he should swing onto
Route 343. which will lead di-
rectly to the sand spits at the
Narrows over a dirt-and some
times dusty-road.
For Whole FomiIy
One nice point about the Mar
rows is that the entire family
can go. Protected by the sand
dunes and forests. the water is
calm, and it is shallow enough
so that youngsters can play along
the water edge quite safely. The
boatman of the family will find
that he can put his boat into the
water from the trailer without
difficulty.
But, novices may ask, what
about grabbing? Well, an old
authority on the subject says
that it's a simple procedure. Be-
fore leaving for the beach, you
should have a piece of bait
meat, chicken neck or a fish
head. Also. you will need about
a three -ounce sinker or weight,
some chalkline. a bushel basket,
a piece Of burlap, and crab net,
which will cost around $3.50
or 50.
The idea. our authority says,
is to tie the bait to weighted
chalkline, throw it out into the
water about 10 feet and then
wait for the crab to get a hold
on it. When he does, ease the
line shoreward until you can
reach out with your dip net and,
in one sweep. snatch the hard
shell crab.

OCEAN CITY, Md, Sept. S.
Marine mushrooms have sprung
up in the Ocean City surf.
They are big beach umbrellas
which are wind propelled. Moored
to an air-filled surf mattress they
make a very cool way to sail
down the beach.
David Hood, 19-year-old beach
umbrella boy, rigged up the first
"Kon- Tiki like craft. He has
sailed his barge for IL blocks.
The invention has become a
fad.
David chops off part of the
umbrella pole and attaches it to
a plump surf mattress. He
warns imitators they must have
some sense of navigation to be
proficient at umbrella sailing.
The only other requirement is
stiff breeze to get the craft
scudding like a leaf before a
storm.

RuiI Report Cords

Travellers who compliment or
criticize the railroads in reports
to the Federation of Railway
Progress may be interested in
knowing what fellow passengers
think of the operations, equip
ment, facilities and personnel.
The federation again has sur
veyed the results of self-ad-
dressed, postage-paid report
cards" it distributes to train
travellers and found, among other
things, that travellers are not
as pleased with the service they
are getting from the American
railroads this year."
Compliments still outnumber
complaints, however, these $500
reports disclosed.
Excerpts from the federation's
report include these observations:
"The percentage of favorable
report cards received on railroad
personnel in the last five years
has risen from SO per cent in
l948 to 81 per cent at the end
OF the first six months OF 1858.
Criticism has dropped F.. to 1S
per cent this year.
"The addition of modern post
war equipment has reduced COM
plants about equipment and IA
cilities from IS per cent in 194S
to 81 per cent this year.
In 1948, rs per cent Of the COM
ments on sleeping cars were
complaints, but the addition OF
postwar sleeping equipment cut
this down to 81 per cent for the
first six months of the year,
Passenger stations and diners
have lost rather than gained
ground for the same period. ,"
The federation announces that
it plans to triple the distribution
of railroad service report cards
this year, "in a bid to get more
railroad travellers actively in
terested in the cause Of railway
progress" Some reports are
going to pay a dividend. For, a
federation announcement adds,
"the writer of the best report
each month, whether a COM
mendation for an employe. a sug-
gestion for Improvements or a
reasonable criticism of service,
is awarded a United States de-
fenSe bond"

The Stars Travel Editor

What is described as a new
breed" of motel has been
spawned in Texas. and an asSo-
citation formed to identify its
distinctive features to the public.
The idea originated in April Of
last year, when the operators
of three Texas motor hotels got
together in San Antonio and, of
course, discussed business. Each
had similar establishments, or
at least had luxury-type motor
lists as their patronage target.
A series of conferences brought
in other operators with elaborate
layoutS, and it was decided to
set standards and adopt a name
so the overnight guest at such
a motel would be able to identify
at a glance an establishment
with just such services and ia
cilitieS.
In brief, the goal was to gather
under one banner those road
side places combining complete
hotel services, all motel ad-
vantages and resort appeal. The
name they coined was Master
Host Motor Hotels. Today, they
can be found in six States and
in Mexico.
Stondords Set
To qualify, member motels
must meet eight specific require
mentS, plus another of a general
nature. First is approval by the
American Automobile AsSocia-
ton. Others are: Ample free
parking, approved dining facili-
ties, a swimming pool Cor. in cli-
mates where pools are not prac-
tical, some other recreational ia
cility), complete hotel services.
including food and beverage room
service, laundry and cleaning
service and porter service; every
room with private bath Of tile or
comparable material, a telephone
in every room, with 24-hour
switchboard service; year-around
Chot or cooD air conditioning and
superior quality of furnishings
and accommodations.
The association, at least at this
stage. is not necessarily planning
on having members in or near
each city of motor travel impor-
tance. The main idea seems to
be a system of answering, with
certainty, a pleased motorists
query: Where else can find
such a place as this?"
AS of now, the MHMH eStab-
lishments are concentrated in
Texas, with members in Austin.
