EisenhoWer'S directiveS on fair en-
ployment practices, prohibits en-
ployers from discrimination in hir-
ing on the basis of race, religion
or ancestry. Contractors holding
public contracts of more than ST 900
are also affected by the bill.
Here is a true sign of growth
for our state, whose pioneers came
here seeking equality of opportun-
ity. It is an indication of Arizona's
coming of age.
Before this bill becomes law,
however, it must pass the Senate,
where it's passage will be assured
only if the people of Arizona take
a hand.
We must express to our Senators,
Bob Hart and Joe Haldiman, jr.,
our wish to end discrimination in
public employment. We must urg-
emily request passage of HB So dur
ing this legislative session.
LATEST TIDBIT for motion pic
ture fans is the news from England
of the current filming of Wolf
Mankewitz's novel, "a Kid for Two
FarthingS."
This tale of Jewish life in Lon
don takes it's title from the famil-
lar "Chad Gadya" Can Only KIDD
which is sung during the Passover
Seder. It is a short novel, full of
delight to the discerning reader.
If the story's tender humor can
be transferred to the screen, it will
perhaps score new kind of sue
cess for Sir Carol Reed, known as
England's leading producer-direc-
tor of "thrillers."

A Chance for Success

This year to offer the best opportunity we've had
in many years put the United Jewish Welfare Fund
campaign the top There's $4,000 in the till or on
the pledge books and quite few solicitations have yet
to be made
It's touch and go, though. Cutbacks in contributions
by some of biggest givers have hurt They hurt
especially because they weren't expected, and because
there to be for them, since economic
conditions generally holding up hereabouts.
But then that's money the dam. The job now
is to finish the drive and crash through to our rock

give first-hand living picture of
the progressive, dynamic democ-
racy that is Israel.
The best news of all is the price
of the trip: just $795, which covers
the flight to Paris, with stopover
and sightseeing; the train trip to
MarSeilles and boat to Haifa; and,
of course, the seven-week stay in
Israel, including maintenance, tut
ton and guided tours.
In Israel, the visitors will attend
lectures and study groups, meet
with leaders in science, the arts
and government, and spend two
weeks in an agricultural settlement,
living the daily life of a pioneer.
English will be the language OF
lecture and tour, but daily Hebrew
lessons will help bring the partici-
pants into closer contact with the
life and the people of Israel.
Social and recreational programs
will supplement the more serious
study, and three free weekends will
permit the visitors to shop and
explore on their own.
June % and July are the de-
parture dates, and return on Sept.
6 and 9-With a glamorouS summer
vacation in between.
The astonishingly low fee takes
this trip out of the dream category.
Imaginative, adventurous young
people can now satisfy their Curl
osity about Israel, find answers
to many of their questions, see the
land of the Bible and find out how
young nation makes democracy
work.
Yes, this is certainly the time
to make vacation plans. And the
place to write?

Half the hunting was done over

Game, however, was the main dish.

In an effort to influence an in
crease in the number of trained
drivers across the state, r. J.

ston- Salem, has appointed a full
time director of driver education
promotion. Robert T. Elicit, Jr.,
will be on loan to the company for
the next ten months from the
Carolina Motor Club. Charlotte, of
which he is safety director.
The Reynolds project was an
nounced by John C. Whitaker,
chairman of the board of directors,
at the Governors Highway Safety
Conference in Raleigh on Deem
Der 6.
In his work for the company,
Mr.. Elicit will call on school adj
illustrators, industrial leaders,
civic clubs, and other organizations
throughout the state in an effort
to stimulate their interest in
school driver training. Reynolds
Tobacco Company will bear the
entire expense of his work.
Earlier this year, the company
gave approximately $4,000 to the
school systems of Winston-Salem
and Forsyth County to assure the
continuation of their driver train
ing programs, about to be dropped
because of lack of funds. The COM
pany stated at that time that it
hoped other industrial concerns
throughout the country would be-
come interested in this approach to
highway safety.
Following that initial gift, the

ron and other of Portsmouth
guided for Capt. Bill. Capt. Thur
ston remembers particularly the
good meals served up by Warren
Neal as cook. From him he learned
good deal of what he knows to-
day about cooking, and the time
came when he was promoted from
chore-boy and gun polisher to real
cooking in the kitchen.
First day in camp with a new
group of hunters, it was the hunt
ers who called the guides early in
the morning, but second day it
was the guides who called the
hunters, and gradually as the days
passed and game was plentiful and
meals were pleasing, the hunters
wanted to sleep later and later aft
err late night of tall-tale-telling
in front of the fire. There was
plenty Of game in those days, and
there was market for game.
Days when the hunters didn't get
out, the guides did a little hunting
for the market. There were red
heads, broad bills, brant and geese.
Along the shore in front of the
clubhouse a fence extended for
about a hundred feet. Hunters
could steal down in the early morn
! ing behind the fence and watch
the birds come in. If the wind
turned to the northwest, there
would be hundreds of them. Capt.
Bali had the first gasoline motor
in these parts, a Ship. Palmer in
a &c foot skiff, used for towing
decoys and rigs around. The camp
had six to ten blinds; and floating
batteries which were allowed in
those days.
When his first camp on Beacon
Island burned, Capt. Bill built a
second one up on Long Rock, SIM
liar to the first. Often when there
weren't hunters at the lodge, Capt.
Bills wife, family and friends
would go over to spend the day.
Capt. Bill would say: Lets go
over to the clubhouse" and Mrs.
Gaskill would quickly pick up the
kettle filled with hot stew off the
range, and they would all climb
into boats and get off for a holt
day over on the Island. In 1917-18

Pamlico Sound a small sea of jut-
ting icebergs. Thurston was then
about fifteen. He and his dad and
the cook had gone over in Decem-
GER to make ready for some
hunters and We're trapped on the
island by the ice-covered Sound.
They were out there for about two
weeks. No chance of starving with
supplies in camp and plenty of
geese around. They shot about
three hundred and could have kill
ed many more if they had known
there might be market for them.
But they had to wait for the thaw
to set in before they could get
back to Ocracoke.
During the fifteen years or more
that Capt. Bill operated Pamlico
Inn, his hunters enjoyed the Island
Clubhouse. The second one, on
Long Rock, was demolished in the
storm of '33. And about this same
time ducks and geese became less
plentiful as the eel grass dis
appeared causing many of them to
perish, and the feeding of the wild
fowl at Mattamuskeet lured many
away from their familiar haunts
here. Nothing remains now of the
lodges on Beacon or Long Rock,
except in the memory of some of
the guides still living, and in the
mind of the boy who years ago
polished guns in the corner by the
big fireplace.
