.HAYMAN CLAN MEETING
SUCCESSFUL THIS YEAR

The Hayman kin-folk and man!
friends held a very fine session a
their annual gathering this yea
on Manns Harbor soil, July 10, thu
birthplace of many of the clar
generations. The scene of the meet
ing was on the Methodist Church
grounds, and the indoor sessions
were held in the church by courte'
sy of the officials of the church
In the absence of the President
Ira Spencer, who could not attenc
because of business matters, Mrs
w. S. Penn, Vice President, Of
Clayton presided. After brief de-
votional and business session, the
Clan members turned the program
over to the recreation committee
and for an hour there was much
fun and laughter as the various
members-young and old-por-
trayed the several talents of music
song, recitations and stunts fol
which these Haymans are noted.
The main features of the bust
ness session, included fixing
permanently the date of July Goth
of each year as the official time OF
meeting and at ten O'Clock am
This decision was reached in fair
ness to ali concerned so that those
who could not attend on certain
days or week ends, could have a
day to their own liking in turn
about once ever five years or so
Another matter which was settled
and to the satisfaction of all was
the changing of the name of the
Clan Memorial Fund from the
former name in honor of Rev. l.
D. Hayman to the Hayman Clan
Memorial Fund. This was done al
the request of the Rev. Mr.. Hay
man, who felt that the fund should
express an honorary relation to all
members of the Clan and not as
originally set IN. All donations to
this fund should be sent to Mrs.
w. S. Penn, Clayton, N. c. who was
made custodian of the memorial.
The officers of 1888, were
reelected for 1889. A committee
on nominations was appointed
composed of persons from the sew
eral communities. This committee
will bring in a report on officers
at the next meeting for adoption
BY unanimous vote, the clan ac-
copied the invitation of the MAINS
Harbor people to hold the 195S-59
session at Manns Harbor the goth
of July 1859. After the business
session, relatives and friends gath
cred in the grove and Toasted on q
sumptuous monday dinner. After
singing the Clan song, the group
broke up, with all having had q
good time. Thanks to the people OF
Manns Harbor for preparing sc
we'll for this very successful occa-
sion.

TIL E P AS 7
BY CAROLYN LLOYD

There has been a bumper crop
of beauty queens this summer.
Rarely day passes that a miss"
something isn't chosen, and it has
occurred to me that it must be
pretty frustrating these days for a
girl to get past eighteen and not
be chosen "Miss" anything. 1t is
chiefly lack of opportunity, of
course, that prevents many girls
from being crowned queen of
something; for the average young
girl today, though not a raving
beauty, knows how to make the
most of natures gifts and looks
pretty presentable.
Pm glad that the beauty contest
was not SO widespread a part of
our culture in my youth. What
with the styles we wore and the
kind of permanents and other
beauty aids available, a girl just
had to be natural beauty to
look like much; and I'm afraid
that "Miss Something or Others"
all around would have given me 2
complex too great to overcome. 1t
may be true, as my father used
to say, that it was only necessary
for a girl to look "healthy, clean
and neat, but he never sold me
on the idea. This train of thought
was brought on by story about
the "Miss Universe" contest. 1t
seems that a poll of the contest
ants revealed that the girl con-
sidered by the majority to be the
greatest competition was miss
Louisiana" She was chosen "Miss
United States" and by the time
this is printed she may well have
become miss Universe" Now this
girl is coed at Centenary Col
lege in Shreveport, where I began
my education in more ways than
one. How glad l am that such a
beauty queen wasn't there when l
was a freshman-the competition
was stiff enough as it was. The
house mother in our dormitory had
a rugged time without any Miss
Universe" types around; and l can
imagine what the present guard
ians of the portals must have gone
through last year. Imagine, too,
the plight of the somewhat-less-
than-beauties on the campus who
had to fight that kind of competi-
ton.
Now at old E.C.T.C. it was diff
ferent. There were so many girls
that there were bound to be more
ugly ones than pretty ones; and
besides it didn't make much differ
ence-we were so carefully guard
ed by rules and regulations from
the pitfalls of male companionship.
Actually, many of the "queens"
chosen today look no better than
many girls in our own home towns.
Most communities manage, though,
to have at least one chosen to
represent an industry or a product
or to reign over a special occasion.
Belhaven so far has only one
and very charming one, too
"Miss Independence. We could
work up another contest to give
some of our other attractive girls
a chance, but somehow l doubt
that any of them would be inter-
ested in being crowned "Miss Crab
Meat"

an egg that brought her promi-
hence. The egg, s1s inches long
and tx inches around, contained
another complete egg, shell and
all. Doubling Thomases may see
the proof at Guthrie's filling sta
,tion, for the proprietor has pre-
served both eggs in the deep
freeze and has made doubly sure
that no one doubts his story by
making a picture of the egg with
the outer shell broken.

IL is often said that in our age Of assembly
lines and mass production there's no room
for the individual craftsman, the artist in
wood or metal who made so many Of the
treasures Of the past. Like most eeneraliza-
tons. this simply isn't true. He's rarer now.
Of course. but he's certainly not extinct
Ihaw only to mention Hans Muller His
workshop consisted Of large room At the
back Of deserted warehouse, no more than
a vigorous stones throw from the Queens
borough Bridge on Manhattan Island.
Most Of the building had been boarded up
awaiting demolition, and sooner or later
Hans would have 10 move. The only
entrance was across q wced-cowered yard
used IS a parking space during the day.
but usually deserted At night.
The work on which Hans was now
engaged would have deeply puzzled his
Bavarian ancestors. Indeed. ten years ago
il would have puzzled Hans himself. And
il had all started because bankrupt client
had given him a TV set in payment for
services rendered.
Hans had accepted the offer reluctantly.
approved Of TV, but simply because he
couldn't imagine where he would find time
TO look at the darned thing. Still. he
thought. at least can always sell Il for fifty
dollars. But before do that, let's sec what
the programs are like.
1tis hand had gone out to the switch:
the screen had filed with moving shapes -
and, like millions Of men before him. Hans
was lost. He entered q world he had not
known existed - world Of battling space
ships. Of exotic planets and strange races -
the world, in fact, Of Captain Zipp.
Commander Of the Space Legion.
Only when the tedious recital Of the CON-
mercial had given way to an almost equally
tedious boxing match between two muscle
bound characters who seemed to have
signed nonassression pact did the magic
fade. Hans was a simple man. He had
always been fond Of fairy tales - and this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-01-05

was the modern fairy tale, with trimmings
Of which the Grimm Brothers had never
dreamed. So Hans did not sell his TV SET.
II was some weeks before the initial
naive, uncriiical enjoyment wore of. The
first thing that began TO annoy Hans was
the furniture and general decor in the world
Of the future. He was, as has been indi-
Gated, an artist - and he refused 10 believe
that in a hundred years taste would have
deieriorated as badly as the sponsors
seemed 20 imagine.
tie also thought very little Of the
weapons that Captain Zipp and his oppO-
nents used. II was true that Hans did not
pretend to understand the principles upon
which the portable proton disiniegrator was
based, but however il worked, there was
certainly no reason why il should be that
clumsy. The clothes, the spaceship interiors
- they just weren't convincing.
How did he know? He had always
possessed q highly developed sense Of the
fitness Of things, and It could still operate
even in this novel field.
We have Saio tnat rams was q Sinape
man. He was also a shrewd one, and he
had heard that there was money in TV. So
he sat down and began to draw.
Even il the producer Of Captain Zipp had
not lost patience with his set designer, Hans
MulIer's ideas would certainly have made
him sit up and take notice. There was an
authenticity and realism about them that
made them quite outstanding. They were
completely free from the element Of phoni-
ness that had begun to upset even Captain
Zipp's most juvenile followers. Hans was
hired on the spot.
He made his own conditions, however.
What he was doing he did largely for love.
Notwithstanding the fact that il was earn
ing him more money than anything he had
ever done before in his life. He would take
no assistants and would remain in his little
workshop. All that he wanted to do was to
produce the prototypes. the basic designs.
