NOW THAT SUMMER APPROACHED

NOW THAT SUMNER APPROACHED many minds will be
thinking of cool drinks to quench the family thirst. Iced tea is
one beverage that's hard to beat when it comes to drinking
something that's really cool and doesn't leave a sweet cloying
after-taste, For diet-minded gals, it's superb because it has no
calories to speak of. In addition, iced tea is wonderful as a base
for party punches and, if you're thinking in terms of a gradua-
ton party, or a shower for the bride-to be, you'll like this
Sparkling Tea Punch with Blueberry Bubbles. You start out
by making the basic recipe for iced tea.
To make Iced Tea: bring two quarts of freshly drawn cold
water to a full rolling boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and
Immediately add five tablespoons of loose tea Cor Is tea bags.
Brew, uncovered four minutes. Stir and strain into pitcher. When
ready to serve pour into ice-flled glasses and serve with lemon
and sugar.
To make the Punch: add 1 stick cinnamon and 10 whole
cloves to the water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and
Immediately add tea. Brew, uncovered four minutes. Stir and
strain into punch bowl. Add u cup sugar and stir till dissolved.
Add one 6-ounce can lemonade concentrate, two cups cold water,
one quart gngerale and one No. 2 can pineapple Juice. Stir
to blend. Place block of ice or ice cubes in bowl Add l cup Guilt
waited blueberries. The ginger-ae will make the berries bounce
up and down like bubbles. This recipe makes $3.50 punch-cup
servings Homemade cookies or petitS fours are nice with this
kunch. To make the occasion really festive tie a little flower in
season on to the handle of each cup. (ANS)

oCRACoKE CIVIC CLUB
HOST TO JOE DUBOIS

Ocracoke Jan. 11.-Ocracoke
Civic Club was host last night to
Joe Dubois of the Sea Level
Chamber of Commerce. Dubois
spoke with clarity about the pur-
poses, organization, and specific
activities of the Sea Level organi-
cation.
Members of the Civic Club were
especially interested to hear de-
tailed plans for promotion of the
Seashore Highway, lacking now
only the Observation-Disclosures
teret link for it's completion. Du-
bois stressed the tourist potential
of Coastal North Carolina, en-
phasizing the need for access. He
quoted Weather Bureau figures in
support of the contention that
weatherwise the area is a fairy
land, far less trying as to heat or
cold than any other situation on
the entire Atlantic coast. He
stressed the need for adequate
mosquito control, urging the ulti-
mate necessity of a State Mosqui-
to Abatement Commission, one of
the detectives of the Sea Level
Chamber of Commerce. In the
course of his description of the
several new developments at Sea
Level, he commented on the re-
Gently created Hospital Associa-
tion, designed to make hospital
care available to all, regardless of
financial ability.
Other matters of business were
disposed of, refreshments served
and a moving picture shown.

DO THE MOONS PHASES
AFFECT SLEEPWALKERS?
Hyde Family Finds That Young Boys
SleepwsIkin9 Is Done During
the Full Moon

Do the phases of the moon have
anything to do with folks walking
in their sleep? A Hyde County
man says that he is convinced that
there is a connection between the
two.
This gentleman says that for a
good while his young son has
walked in sleep at nights, making
it necessary for the rest of the
family to keep on guard nights to
prevent him from getting into any
trouble. About three months ago,
the family began to notice that the
sleep-walking episodes always
took place at the time of the
month when the moon was full.
So, whenever the moon is full
now, they try to keep a fairly close
watch over the youngster at night,
but the rest of the time they go
on to bed feeling fairly sure that
he will remain in his bed until
the next morning.
If any of our other readers
have had any similar experiences,
we will be glad to hear from you
about them.

FIRE DESTROYS A.
SECOND HOME FOR
SWAN QUARTER MAN
viii Bell. CoIored, Had Lost
Three Children in 1912 Fire

Fire of undetermined origin
Monday night completely destroy
ed the home and all the personal
belongings of Will Bell, colored,
of Swan Quarter, Bell, the janitor
at Swan Quarter High School,
still bears the scars of a 1912 fire
in which three children persisted
when another home burned.
Bell and his wife were visiting
his mother-in-law Monday night
when the fire was discovered
about $50 pm. When discovered,
the fire had gained such Roadway
that it was impossible for anyone
to enter the house. The house was
located close to a church, and
since no fire-fighting equipment
was Immediately available, it was
feared for a while that the blaze
would spread to the church build
ing and other nearby homes.
The Bells had only last year
moved the house to the lot adjoin-
ing the church, and had done a
great deal of work improving the
house. During Christmas, several
pieces of new furniture had been
added, including new kerosene
heater. The loss was not covered
by insurance, as Bell reported that
he had put off taking out fire in
surance for a month or so until
further improvements were made.
Neighbors and friends immed-
lately rallied to assist the man in
replacing the clothing and per-
sonal articles lost.
The Bells now have one son, 10,
who is working in New York City.
