POUND FOR PETS

With the season hardly under
way, some folks already are
worrying about the cats and dogs
that will be left behind when
the vacationists leave after La
Dor day. These kind hearted
people have suggested that a
pound be established for pets
left to become strays. If they
were picked up, persons who
wanted pets could choose from
among them; the rest could be
painlessly destroyed, more mer-
ciful than allowing them to
starve or become mauraders.

Nags Head. - Stucco cleaning

first impression the guest re-

amar motor court, little south
of Nags Head postoffice.
The visitor walks into an
office, set in one corner of
large homelike lobby, where
guests gather to get acquainted
with each other, play game of
bridge, read the papers or lounge
when they weary of sun, sand,
and saltwater.
The % units in the motor court
are arranged in symetrical pat
tern on the grounds. Each room
has its separate bath and clothes
closet, and not more than two
rooms are joined under one roof,
so that each room gets three-way
ventilation.
Some of the rooms have one
double bed, some twin beds and
others have two double beds, so
that most any size group can be
accommodated. The cottages are
finished inside in knotty pine de-
sign sheetrock. Color schemes
are carried out in candlewick
bedSpreads and tier type drapes
which can be drawn together to
insure privacy.
All the units are connected
with concrete walks. At the rear
of the grounds is one cottage,
already there when the partners
built the court. 1t is the only
unit with kitchen facilities.
The court lies at the foot of a
low dune, which furnishes end
less entertainment and exercise
for youngsters. Though located
on the west side of the highway,
guests have only a short distance
to walk TO the beach.
Miranar is owned and operat-
ed by three Manteo residents, w.

and Frank White. According to
Mr. Harrington, the season is
starting out in a big way and
promises to continue so.

the dice game with a number of
other men.
One man decided to buy a halt
pint of whisky from the boot
logger. A runner was sent to get
the bottle but returned without
change from SIS bill.
Capt. Felber said the man got
into a fight with the bootlegger
and Jackson intervened. He was
shot by the bootlegger.
The bootlegger then began
chasing the man he had been
fighting. During this chase he
fired the shot which hit the little
girl in the back of the head as
she stood in an alley at Kings
