to the committee, congratulating
them for the program, and ex-
pressing the hope nothing will pre-
vent similar celebration next
year.
Chairman R. D. Owens and the
various citizens of the community
who served on the committee,
have been highly praised for the
good job, done in a short time. In
turn, the committee gives credit
to the Coast Guard for it's assist
ance in putting on drills for the
entertainment of the visitors.
Aid was given the Committee by
the County Commissioners, and the
National Park Service provided
comfort facilities adequate for q
crowd many times larger. Con-
gresham Herbert Bonner, who
was principal speaker on June Is
said 81 appraise the occasion as q

Congressman George A. Shu-
ford, who also accompanied Mr..
Bonner. says:
"The Chicamacomico Celebra-
ton honoring members and veter-
ans past and present of the Life
Saving Service and the Coast
Guard was a wonderful experience
to me. l think honoring the brave
men who have unselfishly dedicat-
ed themselves to the protection of
life and property is a wonderful
thing. l know that your exercises
In future will increase in impor-
lance. I am delighted that / was
able to, participate in the memoir

you for a wonderful week end and
experience"
Winning much praise in this eel
ebration is the splendid choir of
Fairhaven Church, the program
conducted by A. H. Gray, the SER
mon by Captain Roy Bishop, USN,
and the solo by Robert Midget on
Sunday morning, the 18th.
Capt. Bishop says: "I enjoyed

be assured I was happy to bring

front end of the ship was carried
from Ocracoke Island to point
near the village of Hatteras, and
a windlass from this part of the
wreck was salvaged by Wheeler
Balance and used to adorn his
service station at Hatteras. It was
at this time that Park Service Of
ficials referred this sort Of prob
lem to Government lawyers for a
ruling as to the authority Of the
Service in this and similar cases,
but the ruling has not yet come
forth.
However since the value OF these
old wrecks consists largely in re-
naming where nature leaves them,
whereby large numbers Of tourists
are attracted, it seems important
that some definite policy be estab-
lished at an early date for future
guidance Of all concerned.

they are even more vitality in

At and looking good for the
job. THE root of all figure
beauty Is posture. " says Miss
Whitley.
Women can take OF inches
just by standing and sitting
correctly. The slump creates
even more Of q fat look than
some women possess on their
own. We asked her what makes
so many women head for the
slenderizing salons. "A re-
mark from their child that
they don't look as pretty as
their favorite Tv star, a hus-
bands playful jest in calling
his wife ."tubby," or the very
real reason that they wake up
one morning and can't stand
to look at their face or figure
in the mirror" says Miss
Whitley.

Any article about Mrs. Ruth Diff
fendal is likely to be more about
music than about her, because she
devotes most of her time to mus
ic. She plays joyful music, mourn
full music, gay music and solemn
music, and she'll play it on the pi-
ano or the organ as the case de-
mands.
She does most of her work with
church music, and is church or
ganist and pianist for the South
Solon Congregational Church. Ehe
also plays for many of the we'd
dings and funerals in her commun-
ity, often because people know she
will always fill their request for
specific days if at all possible.
Mrs. Diffendal has been MARI
led for about 30 years, and for
more than % of these she has been
active in church music. But she
still finds time to devote to her
husband and their ten year old
daughter, Linda, who is sixth
grader in Stokes township school.
Actually, you could call Mr.. and
Mrs. Diffendal the doting parents,
because they are very, very fond
of their daughter And Mrs. Diff
fendal explains that they should
be fond of her since they waited
10 years for her arrival in their
family.
Other than music the Diffendal
family likes travel, and that is
just what they do during vaca-
tons They have toured from coast
to coast when the annual vacation
