K. D. HILLS WOMAN
MAYOR STATES VIEWS
Mrs. Emily Mustian. Who Was Recently
Elected. Invites All To Join in
Building the Town

The following statement by Mrs.
Emily F. Mustian, who was recent
ly elected mayor of Kill Devil
Hills, is published in the public
interest:
ITO me has been assigned the
extreme pleasure and duty of
serving the people of Kill Devil
Hills in the capacity of Mayor. l
am very grateful but humble for
this honor. l assure you that
shall endeavor to perform my
duties as efficiently as possible
and with a keen sense of right and
justice for all. l humbly beg for
the support and cooperation of all
those who supported me and of all
those who opposed me.
4 would like to briefly outline
some of the principles for which |
stand; and as long as there is a
town of Kill Devil Hills and as
long as l am Mayor of the town,
l shall exert every effort to dis
charge the duties of my office to
the very best of my abilities and
with these principles in mind.
"Kill Devil Hills is small town,
and it is my personal belief that
it should be run as a small town,
that we should have minimum of
government operations, that it
should be run as economically as
possible but that we should en-
deavor to provide our citizens with
the needed services, which are
within our financial means, and
which the county, state or Federal
government are unable to provide.
whenever matters of import
ance are scheduled to be heard in
our town meetings, it is my inten-
ton, not only to comply with the
legal regulations regarding notifi-
cations of such actions, but | cor
slider it my personal and moral
obligation TO see that the residents
of the town are made fully aware
of such contemplated actions, even
to the extent of personal notifi-
cation by letter, telephone per-
scnal cells when such matters may
affect them as a prope 'ty OWNER
or as citizen of the towr.
Whether or not we are required
to do so by law, feel that the
town officials should make avail
able to all taxpayers, as full de-
tail as possible, of the towns fl
nancial matters, including budget
breakdowns.
Furthermore, it is my desire
that all meetings of the town be
opened to the public and that the
public be urged to attend and to
freely pass on all suggestions or
grievances, that our government
may be a government for the peo-
pie and by the people"

be seen in the same outfit as
another was cause enough to
hurl themselves from the
Pont Neuf into the Seine.
A survey conducted by the
French ready-to-wear indus
try in 1858 showed that only
500 of the French feminine
population bought ready-to-
wear clothes. The other half
bought yard goods and made
their own clothes or had them
made by dressmakers. Aver
age individual purchases of a
typical French woman were
found to be one coat every
two and a half years, and one
wool dress every other year.

ground of our ladies garment
market.
Analyzing Subjects
Other subjects being ana
lyzed include public accept
ance of ready made garments;
consumer behavior studies;
consumer credit; retailing
methods such as window dis
play, decoration and fashion
shows, and advertising.
The role of fashion groups
scattered throughout the coun-
try in promoting new styles
and designs is a very important
one. The team is looking into
the various ways in which the
groups schedule meetings for
each season. their relation
ship with clothiers, fabric man
ufacturers and retailers, and
the means by which the FASH
ion groups communicate their
findings to American women.
One Of the things that has
already impressed the visiting
French fashion firemen Is the
way newspapers and maga-
zines pay attention and respect
to the presentation of news in
fashions regardless Of price
tag.
When the group returns to
France they will publish a de-
tailed report for the benefit Of
all the firms in the French
ready-to-wear industry. Con-
ferences will be held and ar
ticles written on the teams

Who knows what the future
holds? Perhaps pretty soon it
will be considered as chic in
Paris to chat about the little

; son" and are wearing, as it is

Fourteen members Of the
French fashion business have
discovered THAT our great

do to make French ready-to-
wear grass grow more are
three French dress manufac-
turers, two advertising agency

The teamwork between man

are quickly realizing must be
evident before French ready

acceptance it has here In
America.

enough to incite a small revo-

Union representing the deck and
engine departments on West Coast
vessels. The third union is the
ILWU Stewards Department, 70
per cent of the membership of
which consists of Negroes and 9TH
er minority groups.
AT that hearing the attorney for
the Jim crow unions made a prom
ise, "They will not discriminate
against any of the persons in the
collective bargaining unit on the
basis Of race, creed or color.
Thereafter the NLRB hearing Of
ficer refused to admit into the rec
ord any evidence that the unions
were in fact jim crow unions and
that their promise was worthless.
He would not admit into the
record the final report of the
Presidents Fair Employment Prac-
tice Committee FEPC) dated
June %, 1916, which had this to
say about the Seafarers Ipterna-
tional Union (SIU): the STU had
refused over a long period of
time even to confer on the numer-
Gus charges of Discrimination filed
against it,.
FEPC found on evidence at the
hearing that STU maintained seq
regated hiring halls and that they
referred Negroes only to the Stew
ards Department. The wartime
need for deck hands, and seamen
in the engine department, was
acute. Thousands of Negroes had
been trained in government mari
time schools for all three depart
ments.. Nevertheless, the STU main
tained that the sailing of mixed
deck and engine room crews would
be fraught with disaster"
He would not admit into evil
dence such scholarly studies as

of West Coast Maritime Unions in
Seattle Toward Negroes in the
Maritime Industry, prepared at
the Sociology Department of the
State College in Washington in
1852.

statement by John Geisness, Sc
attic attorney of the MCS-AFL af-
filiated to Lundeberg's STU that
"As far as the SUP goes, there are
no Negroes in the deck department

The study also contains an inter-
view with Make Weisbarth (SUP
Port Agent in Seattle) which is
very revealing:
How many Negro members are
officers of the union? Huh, I'm the

Sure, this union has Negro
