MRS. MAILMAN AND
BARDIN HOSTESSES
r. |. GARDEN CLUB

Entertained at the home of
Mrs. w. r. Mailman with
Mrs. Jas. C. Bardin as joint
hostess, the Roanoke Island
Garden Club met on January
9Th. In matters of business interest
to the club, Mrs. James w. Davis,
President, led an open discussion
for the possible date for the pros
pective visiting speaker from the
N. C. Bureau of Conservation, who
is to give an illustrated lecture on
the preservation of wild life. The
evening of March LIST was chosen
for the date. Mrs. Davis offered
her home and the joint hostesses
are to be Mrs. Pate Daniels, Mrs.
Royden Tillett and Mrs. Arnold
Daniels of Wanchese.
The clubs keenest interest was
evidenced in the reported recent
visit to the Elizabethan Garden,
near Fort Raleigh, of young Geof-
rey Gilbert, of Compton Castle,
South Devon, England, a descend
ant of the Sir Humphrey Gilbert
family, and whose home is that
of his famous ancestor, also the
visit of his host and hostess, DIR.
and Mrs. Corbett Howard. Mrs.
Howard is a member of the Eliza
bethan Garden Committee for the
North Carolina Garden Club.
Considering means of raising
funds for the early planting of
the Elizabethan Garden, brought
out vote that the Roanoke Island
Club should again sell the note
paper with the prospective Eliza
bethan Garden design on it and
the club secretary was instructed
to correspond with the company
having made the paper for the club
heretofore.
To aid in the program on Home
Landscape Designing, Mrs. A. @.
Bell provided the club with a col
lection of books containing sug-
gestive landscape designs for
varied situations. These formed a
basis for the round table discus
sion of the afternoons program.
After the social hour during
which the club was invited to the
dining room for buffet refresh
ments, Mrs. Mailman surprised the
club with favors of African violet
plants which she had grown and
potted for individual members.

WEATHER

autumn hurricane tides of 1866.
There would probably be no
water on the highway in the Kill
Devil Hills area if the so called
"millionaires" of Millionaire Row"
had left the dunes instead of bull
DOING them flat for a better view
OF the ocean or something. All of
the deep water on the roads in
that area has run across from the
ocean during the high tides at
Millionaire Row." Some water ran
across the beach at other low-lying
areas, but the area were low in
most cases as result of bull-dozing
the protective sand dunes away.
Judging from reports coming in
from highway officials, and resi-
dents of Hatteras Island, the dam
age on Hatteras has been much
less than during the tides of the
hurricane alerts last year. Traffic
to and from Hatteras continues
and the only actual break in the
road was a 80 foot stretch at New
Inlet just south of the old Pea Is
land Coast Guard station. There
has been water on the highway in
some of the lowest lying sectors
Of Hatteras Highway, but traffic
has not been stopped. State High
way maintenance crews are already
repairing what little damage oc-
Cured on Hatteras
The beaches are laden with flot-
sam as result or the offshore
storm and tides. A mine, thought
dangerous at first, which came
ashore near Jennette's Pier turned
out to be a dud or an aerial drill
mine. The old schooner Helen

do the job that needs to be done
in connection with this problem.
Thus he has provided not for in
surance but for indemnity certifi-
Gates which will be available at
rates efixed at a level low enough
to enable the average home owner
to protect himself against the
terrible devastation caused by
floods.
Mr.. Bonner pointed out that
there were serious dangers inner
ent under the provisions of many
of the bills introduced by some of
his colleagues. For example,
authorization would be granted in
several bills to new Federal Cor
poration to issue insurance policies
covering risks for which insurance
presently may be obtained from
private sources. He mentioned
hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes
and hailstorms. While findings
would have to be made by the cor
poration that insurance was not
available I'm those instances at
reasonable rates, it left the door
open for the Federal Government
to step into the private insurance
business, eventually if not in the
immediate future. The basic philo-
sophy behind his proposal, Con-
gresham Bonner said, was to pro-
vide relief to meet the most press
ing problem of flood disasters and
at the same time. Keep the Federal
Government from invading areas
presently served by private enter
prise.
