Dare Coastland Keeps Strong
In National Publicity
At least three current magazines
and one of Americas greatest
newspaper travel sections have
used stories with a Dare Coast
mention or locale during the past
few days.
Hamilton Basso, the distinguish
ed author of the best selling novel
'View from Pompey's Head" has
a Cape Hatteras story in the cur
rent issue of American Heritage.
The story for the most part hinges
around the shipwrecks that have
occurred in the Cape Hatteras
area and to make his story he
leaned heavily on David Sticks
famous book Graveyard Of the
Atlantic" the most complete ship
wreck book ever written about this
coast.
Basso, an associate editor of The
New Yorker magazine, gathered
material for his story while vaca'
tioning here last summer, at which
time he also wrote story for that
magazine and while here was in
terviewed for radio by Aycoci
Brown of Dare County Tourist Blu
reau.

Thomasia Spencer in the travel
section of New York Times last
Sunday authored story titled
"North Carolina Birdland" where
BIRD Watchers Can See Many
Rare Species at Pea Island" The
story was built up around the great
variety of birdlife in the Pea Is
land National Wildlife Refuge be-
tween Oregon Inlet and Rodanthe
on Hatteras Island. The story also
called attention to The Lost Colony
which opens for it's 10th season
at Waterside Theatre on Roanoke
Island near Manteo, June 80. This
is one of the most complete news
paper stories about birdlife on the
Dare Coast that has been publish
ed recently.
Mention has also been carried in
recent issues of travel sections of
newspapers throughout the coun-
try of the seventh annual Valentine
Season Fox Hunt at Mays Head
February 1918. This has become
the most widely-known of all fox
hunts in America because Of its
informality, and because it is
mechanical for the hunters.

New Water Heating
Rate Offered by
Power Company

Residential customers of the West
Maryland Power company in the
Oakland area will be offered new
low water-heating rate under a re-
viscd schedule filed last week with
the Maryland Public Service Com
mission
Don b. Potter, president Of the
local utility company and its par
cnt" organization Monongahela
Power Company, said that the new
rate, which provides 300 kilowatt
hours of electricity for water-heat-
ing purposes at a new low rate of
one cent per kilowatt hour, repre-
sents definite benefits to those GUS
toners who wish to take advantage
of it,
For those now using electric
water heaters, it will mean reduc-
ton in bi-monthly electric bills. For
those who install electric water
heaters, it will mean that the heat
er can be operated for slightly more
than half what it now costs.
Potter points out that the new
rate block would be floating
block" applying after 200 kilowatt
hours have been used at standard
rates The new rate compares with
the standard bottom block of ia
cents and represents a savings of
S225 for the water heater using an
average of 300 kilowatt hours per
month.
The new rate, which cannot be-
come effective until 80 days after
filing with the commission, will be
optional with the customer who, to
qualify. must use an electric water
heater that meets certain require
ments. 1t must supply all of the hot
water of the residence. Once it is
in effect, customers will be notified
and given opportunity to apply for
it.
A similar revision for customers
in the Kitzmillcr area, on the east
side of Backbone mountain, also
has been filed For those customers
whose rate schedule now carries a
bottom block of two cents, the new
watcr-hcating rate will be u cents.
