WALK TO OCEAN
KEEPS SWIMMERS
AWAY FROM SAND

Mays Head.-What is said to be
the only board walk on the beach
extending all the way to the water
is a feature of Jackson Homes,
owned by Mrs. William Jackson,
formerly of Roanoke Rapids. The
walk starts at a beach pavilion,
which in turn is reached by con-
crete drives and walks, so that no
one has to Chamber through hot
sand to get to the ocean.
Jackson Homes, which has been
open all winter, consists of six
cottages, half with two bedrooms
and half with three bedrooms. Each
cottage has it's livingroom, kitch-
enette and bath The office is a
small building in the center, near
the highway. 1t and all the cot
tages are painted white with red
trim.
Jackson Homes is one of the few
places with grass, growing bright
ly green against the background
of sand.
Mrs. Jackson, who occupies one
of the cottages now, plans to move
soon into a cottage belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Jordan, so that
all six units in the motor court
will be available.

CASH IN CEILING
AT JOCKEY RIDGE
GOES INTO BOOK
Nag to Take Up Stand Again to
Lure Tourists Into Excited
Conversation

Mays Head.-The ceiling of
Jockey Ridge restaurant, which re-
opened last week end, looks bare
without any money waving from it.
The paper money that has attract
ed so much interest in the past had
become so worn that Pat Bayne,
owner of Jockey Ridge restaurant,
has had it mounted in a big scrap
book, which will be kept in a con-
venient place for visitors to in
spect. If any of them want to add
to the collection, it will be put in
the book with the donors sigma
ture. Coins will still be wedged in
to the ceiling above the heads of
diners.
Although the restaurant has
been reprinted inside and out, the
most elaborate improvement will
not be seen by most of the custo-
mers. For his colored employees,
Mr.. Bayne has built a three-bed-
room cottage at the rear of the
restaurant. 1t has a livingroom,
bath, place to do laundry and wide
porch. In the kitchen, he employs
six or seven colored people, work
ing on two shifts.
Help in the dining room consists
of six mattresses, white girls,
most of whom are working for
money to continue their education,
and man behind the counter. Mrs.
Margie Suthard is manager.
Customers will see the new red
formica top tables installed in the
dining room They match other fur
nlshings, except for a big family
type dining table which Mrs. Suth-
ard says doesn't belong there but
which the customers favor so en-
phatically that it can't be tossed
out.
Although the restaurant is open,
not all is complete, for the old nag
with a lighted lantern around her
neck has not yet come out of pas
ture to take her place outside the
building. The big lightbearer drew
attention when it was put up last
year, as most of the customers ac-
cept it as a replica in the Mays
Head legend of the nag whose bob
blng lantern lured ships to their
destruction. This year the nag out
side will be repeated on children's
T-shirts which will be sold as SOU
venirs.
For the present, the restaurant
Will be open from in the morning
until 8 at night. By the last of
May, however, it will be running on
a two-shift basis, with breakfast at
for the earliest of the fishermen.

SOUTHERN SHORES COTTAGE
OWNER HOME. FROM HAWAI-

Southern Shores.-Statehood is
the topic on every tongue in Ha-
wall, Mrs. E. F. Phillips of South
ern Shores and Ithaca, N. Y, said
upon her return to her cottage af-
ter three months in Honolulu. She
will be here until April Is, when
she plans to return to Ithaca for
the summer.
! Newspapers in Hawaii are full
of the statehood issue and every
body talks about it, Mrs. Phillips
said. "They feel it is nearer than
it ever has been before"
When she asked people in Ha-
waii what advantages they expect
ed from statehood, more than from
their territorial government, the
people were a little vague except
for one thing,-they want to have
a part in the federal government
through their votes. That, of
course, is a reason most any Amer
lean understands, even if he does
MT always exercise his franchise.
Hawaii is not all Hawaiian by
any means, Mrs. Phillips found.
American whites, Japanese, Chi
nese, Portuguese, Hawaiians and
other races live side by side and
get along without discord, situa-
ton that impressed Mrs. Phillips
as remarkable. Japanese are prob
ably in the majority and are
strongly represented now in the
territorial legislature. Famous for
their ability as gardeners, the
beauty of Hawaii can be credited
in part to Japanese skill and arts
try.
The Chinese are the men of bus
mess, the merchants and bankers.
They live more aloof than any of
the other races, but in harmony
with the others. The Portuguese
are the laborers, with only limited
education and a tendency to be
easily led by their union heads.
Hawaii, Mrs. Phillips found, is be-
set by constant labor troubles,
though she was told that wages
were high, working conditions fav-
orable and labor enjoys most of
the advantages it does on the
mainland.
The whites, though fewer in
number, have great influence and
always will, in Mrs. Phillips be-
lief. The native Hawaiians are a
carefree people, inclined to accept

EASTER MORN
Kitty Hawk Methodist Con-
gregation Prepares for
EVangelistic Effort

Kitty Hawk.-Easter will be OBJ
served Sunday morning at Kitty
Hawk Methodist church by ad-
ministration of the Sacrament,
christening of infants and recep-
ton of members by profession of
faith and by letter.
The pastor, the Rev. w. J.
Freeman, will be in the pulpit to
deliver the Easter sermon. He has
recovered following an illness of
two weeks.
While he was i'll, charge lay
leader, Herbert Morrison, conduct
ed services. AS Easter is the reg
ular time for morning services at
Colington, one of the churches in
the Kitty Hawk charge, Mr.. Nor
rison will preach there in order
that Kitty Hawk may have its
special service that morning.
Three babies are to be christen-
ed Easter, and approximately 10
or IL young adults and juniors will
be received into membership.
Some of these additions are the
result of pre-revival work done by
members of the congregation. In
connection with a Methodist evan
gelistic program now in progress,
the Kitty Hawk church will start
a meeting April 10, to continue
through the following Sunday. The
Rev. Thomas F. Evatt of William
ston, S. c., will be the evangelist

DENIM CONTINUES
AS TOP FAVORlTE
FOR BEACH WEAR
Mrs. Bowen Opens Mays Head
Sportswear Shop for Early
Business

Mays Head.-so many early
birds are visiting the beach this
spring that many of the places of
business have opened, and more
plan to do so in the immediate fu-
ture.
One of these was the Mays Head
Sportswear shop, owned and oper-
ated by Mrs. H. E. Bowen. She
opened the shop, near the north
end of Mays Head, last week end
and plans to have it open daily un-
til fall.
Added to mems and women's
beach wear, a line of children's
clothes will be featured this sea-
son. Mrs. Bowen also carries gift
items. Hers was the first shop of
its kind on the beach.
In preparation for the opening,
Mrs. Bowen had the building re-
painted on the outside and some
minor work done inside.
She has been at her cottage on
the beach since Feb. Is, except for
period when she went to New
York on a buying trip for the shop
and to attend the Gift Show.
At market she found that prac-
teal denim, either in sail blue or
faded blue, with some gray, would
continue to be the favorite for
Stacks, pedal pushers, shorts and
play clothes.
In dresses, butcher linen is pop
ular, as are nylon and sheer cot
tons. In some cases the nylon is
combined with cotton, but still does
not have to be ironed.
This season Mrs. Bowen will
have half sizes for the short waist
ed woman. Although these have
the style of the regular sizes, they
are designed for the woman who
has put on a little weight. Brief
jackets over suntan frocks with a
little wider strap are especially
featured in half sizes.
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1953-04-03

each day as it is, without worries
or regrets.
Intermarriage is common be-
tween the races. 1t is nothing unus-
ual to see a blond young mother
with sloe eyed child, or an Orien-
tai mother with a baby who looks
Anglo-Saxon.
To a large extent, each race
maintains its own customs, observ-
ing its time honored holidays while
the rest of the population takes a
benignant interest in the proceed
ings. Mrs. Philips, for instance,
was there when the Chinese observ-
ed their new year, with dragon
dance and other ceremonials.
Native costumes, too, are COM
mon, and even the white women
have adopted the old fashioned
Mother Hubbard introduced by
early missionaries. This loose dress
has some variations to give it fit-
ted look on princess lines. In many
of the shops and places to eat, the
Japanese and Chinese wear the
clothing of their homelands, part
ly to provide atmosphere for the
tourists.
"These are proud people," Mrs.
Phillips explained. "They honor
their backgrounds. Now the Islands
have a larger population than
many of the states. They feel they
deserve statehood and are ready
for it."
The Islands are making rapid
advancements in schools, high
ways and other development, but
many of the young people are sent
to the mainland for their higheN
education.
Mrs. Phillips, connected with
Cornell university in Ithaca until
three years ago, when health re-
quired her to spend her winters
away from there, plans to get
some writing done while she is at
Southern Shores.
Mrs. Phillips is a biologist by
training and her late husband was
a Department of Agriculture bee
specialist. Some years ago Mrs.
Phillips wrote a book about bees
for children, intended originally for
her own children, but this is now
out of print. She is working on an
other one, somewhat different in

PERRY DRIVE IN
CAFE WILL OPEN
THIS WEEK END

Kitty Hawk.-Edgar Perry will
open his drive in cafe this week end
and have it open week ends until
the season is farther advanced.
The building has been painted
inside and out and some improve
ments made in the kitchen equip
ment.
Although he calls it a drive in,
Mr.. Perry also serves customers
who want to come inside and sit at
tables or counter. He has adequate
parking space for customers cars.
Besides members of his family,
Mr.. Perry plans to employ a cook
and two girls to serve as car hops.
So far he does not have all his help
lined up, which is one reason he
will keep the place open only on
week ends for a WHILE

West, S. c., and has attended pas
tors school at Emory university
three years. For four years he was
on the Princeton, S. c., charge.
where his work along the lines OF
personal evangelism resulted in
expansion of the congregation.
The night before the revival
starts, the young people of the
district will have an evangelistic
youth rally at Elizabeth City. This
will be opened at $50 with band
concert in front of the church.
That will be followed by congre-
gational singing, panel discussions
and a worship period. Among the
young people to take part in the
worship period will be Miss Phyl-
lis Sawyer of Kitty Hawk.
The evangelistic program also
will be given attention at district
conference, to be held at Provi-
dence church in Swan Quarter, Ap-
ril 8. Among those on the program
will be DR.. C. D. Barclift of Dur
ham, who will conduct noon wor-
ship period, and DR.. Carl Sanders
of Richmond, Va, who will speak
in the afternoon. Reports from
pastors, committees and the Unit
ed Evangelistic Mission will be
heard.
Those from Kitty Hawk church
who will attend district conference
will be the minister, the Rev. w
J. Freeman; Carlos Dowdy, Mrs
Elizabeth Sanderlin and Mrs
Charles Perry.
In spite of extra activity il
preparation for the evangelistiG
meeting the week of April 10, tbs

planned.
In addition, she plans to write
some stories for children, some of
which she has finished while others
are only in her mind. In the past
Mrs. Phillips has found publishers
for a number of her children's
stories. At least some of the tales

"If Hawaii is to be one of the
states" she explained, children
on the mainland should know some
thing about the children Of the Is
lands"
Mrs. Phillips is the mother of
DIR. w. T. Phillips of Washington,
D. c., and Southern Shores. Her
cottage is next to his on the beach.
