severe hearing loss may never
have heard anything before
using the train-ear. Every
sound has to be interpreted.
If he hears a bird or a dog,
for instance, he must be
taught by pictures or toys,
what it is. He watches the
teachers lips, listens to the
sound, thentries to form the

Hearing Society, 1884 Calvert

Judy Allen Vowel, native
Washingtonian, graduate OF
Western High and Maryland
University and mother Of two
little girls. heads a group OF
40 civic-minded young women.
This loving, but respon-
sible group devotes much time
and energy to philanthropic
and cultural organizations.
For the past i've years. one
of the clubs projects has been
the Washington Hearing So
ciety. One year they gave the
society an audiometer. another
time a train-ear machine; they
have decorated and furnished
the kindergarten. making it
1t into a delightful room with
soft green rug and matching
painted walls and shelves; they
decorated and furnished the
auditory training room and
they have installed two one
way mirrors-looking into the
kindergarten and training
room, so that mothers may
observe their children without
being seen.
Paid for Teachers
Last summer. the club paid
the salary of a teacher for
summer school and plans to do
the same this year.
They have Just completed
the renovation Of the kitchen.
This entailed painting walls
and woodwork and making
curtains as well as putting in
a new two-oven, six-burner
stove and a modern sink.
The Town Club was first or
ganized as the Junior Alliance
by Mrs. william H. Hessick
in 1888 with the object OF pro-
noting justice and good citi-
zenship. The next year 1t be.

CURRITUCK PEPS UP
FOR NEW SEASONS
TOURIST BUSINESS
Merchants on U. S. 1853 Ready
to Serve Growing Stream Of
Traffic To and From
Beaches

CHrrituck County business men
on U. S. 1853 are awake to the
value of the tourist business and
their activities are being increased
each year. This season finds them
at their best. The widening of this
highway between Grandy and the
Sound Bridge is being completed.
Numerous structures have been
moved farther from the road.
An entirely new surface has
been added. The work should be
completed in a few days.
One of the biggest mercantile
improvements will be the new
store to be erected by Griggs
Lumber and Produce Company,
which will have a frontage of 80
feet on the road, and plans to sell
gasoline at wholesale prices. This
firm deals in paint, and various
types of building materials as we'll
as farm produce, fertilizers, etc.
1t is owned by Grady and Edward
Griggs, father and son.
There are many excellent eating
places on this road. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walton Griggs have established
large one which has been highly
successful, the Point Harbor Grill
at the west end of the bridge, and
overlooking Currituck Sound.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Smith
operate the Anchor Inn, which is
splendid place, with rooms for
fishermen and tourists adjoining.
The Inn serves good food. 1t is
only few hundred yards from
the sound.
Famed throughout Currituck
County is Representative E. R.
Johnson furniture and antique
store at Currituck Courthouse,
roadside establishment overlook
ing the sound, and it's fame has
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1955-05-06

made it an institution. Customers
from all over the country buy its
antiques. While Mr.. johnson is in
Raleigh, the genial IS year old
manager, Mr.. Hall is on the job.
Mr.. Hall is Currituck's retired
postmaster.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Smith
have built a fine new grill at
Green Acres, the beautiful old
Wiley plantation they bought,
and which is half way between
Sligo and Moyock. Here they serve
good food, and cater to sports
fishermen.
To continue with the boosters of
Currituck and friends of the
Coastland whose advertisements
will be found in these columns, we
call attention to the following
three at Grandy. o. L.'Woodhouse,
postmaster and member of the N.
C. Wildlife Commission is the
head of big produce business
bearing his name. 1t supplies the
needs of many farmers and serves
as their marketing agent.
Near Grandy also is Helms
Grocery, a modern service station,
and store which caters to the
needs of tourists. Jack A. Helms
operates this store. He is we'll
stocked with groceries and sup
plies for sportsmen.
Another famous Woodhouse,
operates at Grandy. Nephew of
a Colonel of Civil War fame, is
Graham Woodhouse, for many
years magistrate, who operates
big establishment, which has
restaurant service for both white
and colored. He has a modern
store, aids fresh-water fishing
parties, and also operates big
roadside market. He has host of
friends, some of whom tell him
he is going to get trimmed of his
money in his old age by some
pretty gold digger who will honey
him up and love him to death.
Two good friends Of the area
giving good service are at Moyock
where Roy Old runs a new Amoco
station, and Dennis Chalk oper-
ates new Texaco Station. These
firms are a credit to any highway
and the owners are doing good
business by striving to give the
best of service to the growing
stream of tourists along this way.
Sam Walker of Sligo will never
be forgotten. He is known far and
wide to tourists, for his store and
service station serve as the bus
station for all lines operating out
of Elizabeth City and Manteo via
Currituck. Sam is big friendly
man, for many years Democratic
chairman in Currituck, and a real
leader in county affairs.
The Gulf station and well-stock-
ed grocery operated by Mr.. apd
Mrs. F. R. Morse at Point Harbor
is one of the finest establishments
on the route. The business has
been running for three years. 1t
is near the bridge and the Point
Harbor Grill, as well as the
Anchor Inn.

Minimum standards for milk are set by law
but Lucerne sets It's own special and higher
standards. And az farmers milk meets or
exceeds these standards, Lucene pays him
q bonus for the extra quality.
Az result Of these bonus payments, finer
milk comes to Lucerne : and to you = in

Lucerns can sell this bonus quality milk
at no extra charge because Of money saved
on distribution. Lucerns has no expensive
door-to-door delivery costs. Rather Lucerne
delivers hundreds Of quarts at a time to
stores only.
That way = though Lucerne Milk costs
more at the farm It costs you no more than
other milks, less than home-delivered milk.
