MANTEO WOMAN'S
UNIQUE JOURNEY
OF TWO MONTHS
Mrs. Pearce Home With Inter-
esting Memories of Voyage
to Morocco

An unforgettable tw o-months
journey acorss the Ocean to Mo-
rocco in North Africa has recently
been enjoyed by Mrs. w. R. Pearce
of Manteo, who is back home and
has entertaining "reminiscences OF
this unique visit to her daughter,
Mrs. Bryan Smith Jr., who has
been teaching in this locality,
where her husband is stationed
with the Navy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are now en-
route home, his enlistment having
ended, and he will3go to college
this fall while she will teach in
Harnett County.
Mrs. Pearce made the trip across
the Atlantic on Danish freighter

Uncle Sam to serve our forces

personnel are permitted to travel
on these ships at low rates for
first class accommodations.
Somewhat to her dismay, on her
arrival at Bayonne, N. j., on May
9th, Mrs. Pearce found she was
the only one of the group to show

CRAFT WORKSHOP
AT ROANOKE All
CAMP. AUG. 1920

Tuesday morning August 1S,
1859 will bring to Dare County a
group of women who are unique
in that they spend a vacation
studying and working. On this day
home demonstration women from
Eastern North Carolina will con-
veneS for their annual Craft Work
shop. For three days these women
will share experiences and learn
new ways of making and finishing
articles that can be used in their
homes or sold as an aid in the in
creasing of the family budget.
Roanoke Island All Camp will
echo the merriment of women
working together using such tools
as their ball pein hammers, saws
and tin ships. Some of the women
will be making flower planters of
aluminium or copper while others
will be creating arrangements of
dried flowers, driftwood and ~cy-
press knees. Even the lowly corn
shucks will come into the limelight
as they are used for making mats
to be used around~the home. Grand
mothers favorite rocker will be
made more attractive and COM
Portable as the improvised seat is
replaced with a replica of the origi-
nal cane seat. Those old tin cans
that may clutter up garbage can
around the home, have been res
cued by some home demonstration
women and will be used for the
making of Christmas decorations.
Not all the women will be using
saws, hammers, and pliers. Some
will be using the discarded feathers
of their parakeets or chickens in
making a fashionable fall Sunday
hat. Many needles will be threaded
as some women learn the fine arts
of Italian hemstitiching and Swed-
ish darning. Wool that is suitable
for hooking will be utilized in the
making of hooked rugs. Even peach
seeds, pine cones and nuts will be
used by some as they make
wreaths.
On Wednesday evening a general
exhibit of good craft articles will
be on display and we are hoping
that many who are not attending
the workshop will avail themselves
of the opportunity of viewing this

fought for centuries to absorb the
area, shared the country in divided
provinces; dissensions has resulted
since World War II, in bitter wars,
whereby the French are about
driven out, and the people waxing
fat on American benevolence while
demanding the Americans go home.
This is more or less a glimpse of
the years which have led up to to-
day, for the cleaning white cities
recently built with American
money are like jewels amid the
country's natural landscapes, its
golden beaches, and blue seas. 1t

tells.
Here is land of antiquity, with
mosaic and plaster sculptures,
amidst, culture, refinemnt, dignity,
and hospitality, but still redolent
in the more remote fringes with
the foulness of filth and illiteracy,
and the resistance to life's better
things that is bred out of the mar
row desire of some creatures to re-
main as they have always been.

i royalty treated, and found reading
the only diversion for the next Il
days. The food, she said, was su.
perb, and during her journey, she
not only enjoyed camel meat, but
rode on a camel in North Afri-
ca.
She journeyed along the coast
line in North Africa for hundreds
of miles; observed the tremendous
development taking place in the
building of huge cities, despite the
primitive methods used. The pick
and showed are still engaged in
road building, and hot patches of
asphalt are yet mixed at the road
side by hand labor, and moved in
barrows.
Every day offered new and eX-
citing things to see in this | a n d
where the Spanish, French and
Arabic influences keep things
boiling. In the midst of this odd
assembly, mostly Arabic, flow of
American wealth is being invested.
Great enterprises are being under
taken with American money, and
the Arabs are growing rich, both
from what we give them, and what
the Russians spend with them.
Many retired Americans, find
here a delightful climate in which
to live at low cost. Servicemen in
Morocco, through the aid of their
country buy their gas for 121a
cents per gallon; butter for 32
cents.
But Mrs. Pearce found it differ
ent in Spain, during their visit to
the mighty fortress of Gibralter,
and other places, where gas costs
75t per gallon.
More than ten million persons
live in this area, which sprawls
along the northwest African coast
for some hundreds of miles. 1t is a
fragment of great empire OF
Arabic origin thousand years old.
It's fine climate is produced by the
protection of the snow-capped At
las mountains rising near two
miles high which break the
scorching winds from the Sahara
desert. The forefathers of the
ancient and ferocious B e r b ers
who inhabited a part of this ma
ton, moved down from the NOUN
tains and twice conquered the
great empire Spain. They mixed
with the Arabs, and created the
Moors, and have long since ab-
sorbed floods of French and Span
ish blood, during process of spill

FIRST TARPON LANDED
IN OREGON INLET AREA

Said to be the first tarpon landed
with rod and reel at Oregon Inlet
was a 81 FOUNDER Sunday by M. 1.
Dunn, a railroad executive of
Cleveland, Ohio, who with Mrs.
Dunn has been spending a vaca-
ton at The Sea Oatel.
The fighting game fish, was
taken while the Dunns were troll
ing for bluefish aboard the cruiser
Phyllis Mae, skippered by Capt.
Joe Berry.
While the fish is not considered
rare in North Carolina waters, only
a few are taken with rod and reel
each year, primarily because few
people fish exclusively for the
gamester. They are taken in Pam
lico Sound nets by commercial fish
ermen each year, and this season
on May 30, George Davenport Of
Norfolk caught a 1914 FOUNDER
with Hopkins Lure while casting
in the surf at Cape Hatteras. Ang-
ler Dunn's lure was a Pfleuger No.
z spoon of the type used by Oregon
Inlet channel bass fishermen when
trolling.
Billy Brown. mate aboard Phyllis
Mae reported the tarpon was
caught in a school of menhaden or
fr-backs and that several of the
fish, some larger, some smaller
aan the one taken were sighted.
The Dunn tarpon made many
jumps before it was finally
gaffad.

Ign Jones, Dean Martin and
Anthony Franciosa. BY the
time they have finished their
work, any Electrically ambi-
tious youngster in the audience
may we'll be willing to settle
for any less glamorous way of
life.
Career" based upon James
Lees Broadway play Of last
season. goes most thoroughly
and candidly into its subject.
So searchingly in fact that 1t
even reaches out to include a
look at off Broadway acting.
This supposedly useful
launching pad for fresh talents
is pictured in Career" as more
a center of chicanery and pow
erty than a haven for nesting
geniuseS.
Central figure in the Palaces
picture is the deadly ambitious
chap played by FrancioSa. He
could hardly give a grimmer,
,.angrier performance, yet he
is not the most moving charac-
ter in the screenplay.
This distinction falls to Miss
Jones. She is the really poign-
ant one on the screen, a girl
who loses in love and her hope
for an acting career. AS this
wistful Illustrate who settles
for an actors agents life, Miss
Jones confirms every suspicion
that she is one of the best
young players in Hollywood to-
day.
Everything that could hap
pen to a dozen strugglerS in the
theater does happen to Fran
ciosa in Career" He lives in
miserable cold-water fiat,
works for less than food money
off-Broadway, sees his first and
deepest love curdle in a mar
rage of poverty, and suffers
humiliation and betrayal at
every turn.
This series of degradations
and defeats should arouse SYM
pathy for its victim. Oddly, it
doesn't in Franchises case. He
seems somehow to be asking
for everything that happens to
him, the humiliation of watt
ing on his divorced wife and
her new husband at a fashion,
able 44th street restaurant, etc.
etc.
Outside of Miss Jones, how
ever, none of the characters in
this saga of suffering is notably
winning. Miss MacLaine asks
for no pity as the alcoholic
daughter Of a cruel producer.
And certainly Martin deserves
none as a embarrassing OPP
portunist with a genius for
scuttling his moral betters.
OF its kind, a rather COM
mon kind thanks to the Mar
ciSSism of show business,
Career" is rather a special
exhibit. Certainly none of its
predecessors has been played
with a mere gleeflll candor.E
