it fulfilled its earlier promise of
being one of Our Towns most at
tractive! This is not only one of
our prettiest houses, but it had
good sense enough to pick out
two charming people, Conrad and
Flo Van Allen and their two lovely
daughters Charlotte and Roberta
for its owners. And, the other eve
ming, they all had a perfect party.
Had a marvellous time seeing so
many good friends, and I'll be
haunted till the end of my days
if don't get the secret of that
chatting dish-yum and good!
After thanking my gracious host
and hostess, and on my way home,
I thought how fortunate Our Town
was to have such grand people
search us out and make their win
ter home here-only because they
love us. It was then I noticed the
stars were unusually bright-and
they were low in the sky and
there were quite a few of them.
All too soon, the Van Aliens
will be leaving-so, we'd like to
wish them luck and say well be
thinking of them!

HELLO and WELCOME TO:
Bob Sisson, National Geographic
Magazine-a top photographer who
will do an article on our shrimp
industry. Yesterday, he left on the
boat, my Lady" and will spend
some seven, eight or nine days
taking pictures. This operation is
extremely unique in that, as many
of you know, our ''pink gold" is
caught at night. However, with
his vast Photographic experience,
I know it will be a job well done
and l can hardly wait to see the
article which will be published
some time hence.
Talking with Bob and hearing
about some of his more hazardous
feats Of photography, am happy
that all I do is make with the
bang-bangs-not horses nor guns
just typewriter keys. However, the |
thing that would stymie me is the
fact that the negatives are sent
to Washington to be developed
there and sometimes it is upwards
of six months before poor Bob
gets to see his pictures. My wo-
mans curiousity could never
stand such a strain. However, with
his burning enthusiasm for his job
and great and vast attention to
every detail, there isn't a chance
Of his taking anything but fine
pictures.

Civil Defense Pacts
Approved in House

The House today passed and
sent back to the Senate a reSolu-
ton authorizing the District to
enter into. interstate civil defense
compacts.
The measure, previously passed
by the Senate, was amended by
the House in minor particular
and goes back to the Senate for
further action. 1t was expected
the Senate later will take the
House amendment and send the
legislation to the White House.
The resolution would give the
District broader powers than it
now has to enter into agreements
with the States for. co-ordinated
action in case of major disaster.
Such a compact would be based
on a model agreement developed
in 1850 by the Civil Defense
Office of the National Security
Resources Board and the Council
of State Governments.
