NAVAL HOUSING
UNITS OPENED
WITH CEREMONY
Dignataries Take Part In impress.
sive Event At Cape Hat
feras Unit

Residents of Hatteras Island
especially were invited to the
house-warming of the 100000
Capehart Housing project built
for the U. S. Naval Oceanagraphic
Facility at Cape Hatteras Wednes-
day, June "a, and they Joined in
the unique event by invited guests
from off the island.
1t. Cdr. James. Toner and his
staff worked several weeks on de
tails of the affair, which began ait
2 o'clock in the afternoon of
Wednesday, June oath with the
cutting of a ribbon across 'the
newly paved driveway of the
housing project, which covers sew
eral acres of ground just north of
the facility.
Brief addresses were made by
Navy officials and by others.
Many visitors from Manteo, in
Guiding S4-year-old Alpheu
Drinkwater. Capt. Samuel K. Will
son, Deputy Public Works officer
from headquarters of the 9th
Naval District, Norfolk, attended.
Governor Luther Hodges sent his
regrets at his inability to be pres
ent, since he is now on a Russian
tour.
Guests We're taken on guided
tours of the Facility and the
housing project. A model Navy
home was shown. The Navy ia
cility was begun just four years
ago this month and has been COM
pleted at a total cost of about
twelve million dollars.
Because of the nature of its re-
sponsibilities there has been here
tofore little mention of the Nays
installation on Hatteras Island
The rigid secrecy has not been re-
Taxed as to what goes on but the
place has grown to be big enough
and finished enough to where it
can receive and welcome visitors
and to these the Commander and
his crew issued a hearty invita-
ton.

BRIDGES

live forever in association with
the memory of his progressive and
vigorous tenure of office.
The Oregon Inlet Bridge will
play a mighty part in enabling the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
to be the ultimate attraction en-
visioned by Lindsay Warren, when
he began it's instigation in Con-
gress thirty, years ago.
1t has been quite aptly said
by one of his compatriots in this
years legislature, that one of
these bridges should be called the
Lindsay Warren Bridge.
The Oregon Inlet project will
give to Hatteras Island a tremen-
dous opportunity for a broader
economy, whereby ours may hope
to become the most intensely in
teresting and most popular ocean
resort area on the Atlantic Sea-
board.
Ultimately it will pave the way
for a road the entire length of
the Carolina coast. The rehabilita-
ton of the long barrier reef
known as Core Bank, southwark
from Ocracoke Inlet, will make
possible the construction of a
road to Cape Lookout. Under the
steady hand of Governor Hodges
whose vision and affection fol
this coastland and it's needs has
inspired many others, the legisla,
ture has recently appropriated
100000 to start the initial work
on this great undertaking.
1t may seem somewhat ironica
that announcement of the inten'
ton to build these eastern Caro-
lima bridges should fall just at the
time when the Governor is in Rus
STA, on tour of several weeks
He's an awful long way from
home, but the people are thinking
about him back home plenty.
Temporarily, to aid the grea
flow of traffic now going to Hat
teras and Ocracoke Islands, ;
ferry service is being planned t.
begin Labor day, between Ocra
coke and Carteret County. A yes
sci for this purpose is under con
struction in Norfolk, to cost a hal
million dollars financed through
the vision of the Taylor Brothers
the four philanthropic sons O.
Sea Level whose genius has woi
them fabulous success in the bust
ness world.
While the news was shaping vi
about the bridge projects in Ra
leigh this week, the Taylor Broth
ers were there in conference witt
the Highway Commission will

of this service by the State o.

Campaign on For Inlet

The campaign for the final work
at Oregon Inlet is underway, and
has been going on for some weeks.
DR.. w. w. Harvey, Jr. of Manteo,
Chairman of the Dare County
Waterways Committee said yes
terday, he is inviting Senators Err
win and Jordan, with Congressman
Bonner to visit Dare County soon,
to see if extra effort can be made
to speed up the project, so there
will be nothing to stand in the
way of the Highway Engineers
One hope DIR. Harvey ventured is
that perhaps an additional emer-
gency appropriation might be OBJ
tanned to establish the Inlet chan
mel. Two weeks ago, he conferred
with Mr.. Bonner and House Speak
err Sam Rayburn on this project
The Engineers already have funds
available, something close to 9
million dollars to dredge a ID
foot channel through the inlet, ant
plans have been made to let
contract for this work in the
spring.
Congressman Bonner, Thursday
by long distance telephone gave
assurance to the Dare County Of
ficials that he would go to bat fol
anything that would speed up the
completion of the project, and hi
is arranging a visit of the severa
officials who have been invited te
Dare County at an early date.

When the picture was completed
four copies were made for distri-
button. These copies were then
sent by the State Board of Educa-
ton and were shown in all North
Carolina schools in which electric
ity had been installed. In addition
a Model T was fitted out in such
manner that the generator could
provide power to run the movie
protector, and in this manner the
pictures literally toured the state,
and were shown in many areas
where moving pictures had never
been seen before.
One result of the picture was
that people throughout the State
became aware, many for the first
time, of the Importance of the his
torical shrine on Roanoke Island;
and the interest kindled at that
time led later to the Paul Green

dresses, everyone will be able
to enjoy the ease and convent
ences of using it.
In addition, the closure is
strong and durable. 1t can be
washed, ironed and dry cleaned.
The closure is not too attrac-
tive for vertical fittings. 1t looks
somewhat bulky and stiff and
does not fold with the material
as the body moves. Also, be
careful about using a very hot
iron on the fastener as there
is a possibility of melting it. A
warm iron works very well.
A word of caution, though
Mrs. Smith adds. The construc-
ton of the fastener is unique:
there are two strips of nylon
fabric tape. One strip has a
velvet-type surface with thou
sands of tiny loops. The other
has thousands of tiny hooks like

New Nylon Tape
Fastener I'm Use

Touch and close-that's all
you do to fasten up the new
raincoats with the all-nylon tape
closure. This unique fastener is
an exciting addition to the list
of ready-to-wear clothes avail
able for consumer purchase,
says Florence Y. Smith, Home
Demonstration Agent. You'll
find it used in place of zippers,
snaps, buttons and buckles, at
most notion stores.
The new closure is one of the
most versatile fasteners and is
being used on a variety of ar
ticles. A few of the countless
items are diapers, envelope-type
purses and mems shoes.
This fastener allows a choice
of fit that adds to its possibil-
tiles for use. In ladies' belts,
for example, one belt will fit
any size waist.
The closure is simple to open
and close. And, since it is fea-

Incidentally, the closure is
also available to the home sew
er. 1t may be purchased by the
yard or in 9-inch strips at al
most any notion store, tho it
does not yet come in a great
variety of colors and widths.
The homemaker can use her
ingenuity to devise different
ways to make the closure fit
her own needs. For instance,
Mrs. Smith suggests, children's
clothes can be more easily ad-
justed as the children grow,
bringing longer life to previous
ly outgrown garments. Moth
ers-to-be will see many new
ideas for interesting maternity
clothes.
