ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.
The pleasures of beachcombing
can be yours in less than four
hours-175 miles from the mid
die Of Washington to the
Jersey shore.
The ideal part of a visit to
Atlantic City is not only the
attractions Of the city itself,
but its proximity to its sister
resorts and interesting attrac-
tions down the South Jersey
coastline.
Within an hour a trip to
famous old Barnegat Light, on
Long Beach Island, could start
a tour of the South Jersey
shoreline. The lighthouse there
was built in 1856 and
still stands 172 feet high
towering above the historic
shore. Much of this area re-
mains somewhat rugged and
gives the feeling of the "un-
explored" with its simplicity of
an old-fashioned style resort
Eleven small resorts dot this
17-mile stretch of beach.
Travelling from Atlantic City
southwark, the once famous,
and still enjoyed Ocean drive
connects the area from Atlantic
City to Cape May by six
bridges. A 20-minute drive
down Absecon Island, passing
the communities of Ventnor,
Margate and into Longport
City, the first bridge there
makes the connection to the
ocean drive, into Ocean City,
with it's popular title of "the
family resort"
Sunday Closing
Founded by clergymen in the
early 1S0QS, Ocean City prob
ably boasts more churches than
any equally small community in
New Jersey. No alcoholic bev-
erages are sold there, and the
Sunday closing laws still re-
main with all stores except
drug and food establishments,
Still further down the ocean
drive the Corson's Inlet Bridge
discloses the wild and some-
what beautiful meadowlands of
the shore area. Strathmere, q
small family resort known as
a great fishing area is next to
Sea Isle City, where the canals
and lagoons were modelled after
the ones in Venice. Italy.

and Norfolk or Elizabeth City
and the nearest railroad con-
nections are in Norfolk.
Coming Events
In addition to several late
May and early June conven-
tions there will be two early
summer events of unusual in
terest on the Dare Coast. Be-
ginning June 6 at Hatteras
and continuing for five days
will be the first annual Puerto
Rico-American Blue Marlin
Challenge Tournament. A six
man team of Cape Hatteras
Billfish Club will pit their skill
against a six-man team of
San Juan's Club Nautico.
At Nags Head, beginning
June 7 and continuing through
June IL, will be the annual
School for Fishermen, an event
sponsored by the North Caro-
lima State College Extension
Division. More than 100 per-
sons become fishing students
in this annual event.
The biggest attraction OF
May, 1859, here on the Dare
Coast Outer Banks has been
the sportsf1shing. A fantastic
run of bluefish starting early
this month has provided some
of the best fishing in years.

Avalon and Stone Harbor are
located. Avalon has a protect
ed beach for ocean swimming,
too, and is famous for its pic
turesque sand dunes. Stone
Harbor boasts seven man-made
lagoons and its bird sanctuary
is one Of the Nations finest.
The Wildwoods
The triple Wildwoods offer
sandy beaches protected by
lifeguards and a wide board

the area has developed so

their biggest season.
While the salt air makes the
ocean drive more enjoyable,
actually the Garden State

proach to the South Jersey
resorts.
The eXpressway is along the
old Route 8 area. and runs the
full length of the coast to
Cape May, with convenient

note that the cape area was
first connected with Atlantic

Somers Point back in 1893.

annual Inter- Tribal Indian
Ceremonials. They will be held

Life in another civilization
begins the moment visitors
step onto the picturesque red
brick station platform at Gal

For Indians are everywhere
1.-THE very old, the very young.

faced chiefs and patient
squaws. They line the streets
Of Gallup In a colorful pagean-
try Of ceremonial garb. Tur-
quoise and silver jewelry

blues. reds and oranges.
Each morning during the
four-day event. festivities COM
mence with a parade, fire.
quently led by the Santa Fe
Railways Indian band from
Winslow, Ariz. Then come
the great Southwestern tribes
= Navajo. Pima, Apache.
Kiowa, Hopi and Jemez.
They come from as far away
as Mexico City. Washington
State and Oklahoma. Their
parade tribal costumes are dis
tinctive and rich with signi-
f1cant markings.
All events take place at the
ceremonial grounds, readily ac-
cessible from downtown Gallup.
Good hotels and motel ac-
commodations are available
but bookings are extremely
heavy during the ceremonials,
and reservations should be
made well in advance.
Indian RodeO
The afternoon show in front
of the big grandstand is an all
Indian rodeo. Among those !
rodeo events peculiar to the |
ceremonial alone are races
where young bucks in careen-
ing wagons whip their two
horse teams wildly around the |
half f-mile track.
Indian arts and crafts
jewelry, pottery. rugs and pic
lures are displayed everywhere.
Tourists searching for "some-
thing a little different" for
either gift or home will do
well to look carefully here.
Camera fans are beside
themselves as most Indians are
quite willing to pose in their
tribal finery.
Modes of transportation used
by Indians are as varied as
their regalia. Some come in
Cadillacs. Some come on foot.
Others use trucks, pick-ups,
station wagons, rubber tired
wagons, wooden-wheeled We
hicles and horses.
Many families live in their
trucks and wagons during their
stay. The hills around Gallup
become a tent ground teeming
with wagons, horses, fires and
Indians everywhere.
Grand Finale
But the main event is the
"grand finale" after dark. All
lights are blackened and more
than a dozen bonf1res. 10 to ~
feet high, are touched of, and
into the flickering light dance
the performers.
In the wide arena the Indian
dances as his ancestors did
The eagle dance, the corn
dance. the buffalo and horse
tail dances-to name but a few.
He pleads to his God for rain,
for an abundant harvest, for
protection from his enemies.
He asks for strength for the
hunt, and for the evil spirits to
be driven from his dwelling.
Chanting mounts to a shrill
crescendo as he comforts his
body in the eerie freight, his
painted body weaving patterns
the origin Of which even the
oldest and wisest tribal chief
tain has forgotten. This is the
way 1t has always been done
and the religious significance
has endured through centuries.

U. s. Military Men Testify Defense
 Budget Inadequate

Washington, LR - Several mill itary leaders, in secret testimony made public today, complain their missile development programs are not getting enough money in the Administrations proposed defense budget.
 None of them dissented formally from President Eisenhower's bud get recommendations, defended by the Administration as an ade- quate mixture of deterrence and defense.
 But high officers of each of the services voiced their missile Wor- ries to the House Appropriations Subcommittee that holds the purse strings on defense spending. The testimony given in March and April was published Saturday, though shredded by the censors' shears.
 The officers said there was not enough money budgeted for:
 l. The Nike-Zeus program, the |Army's hope for destroying en- emy intercontinental ballistic missiles.
 2. The Air Forces program of building more U. s. interconti- mental missiles.
 3. The Navy's Polaris missile submarine combination, which the Navy views as a more effec- tive retaliatory threat for the next few years than anything the Air Force has now.

Human, Economic Tragedy Sinking g Of Nile Picnic Boat

CAIRO, Egypt, LR - Divers and navy frogmen recovered 50 more bodies from the sunken hulk of the riverboat Dandara, which cap sized Friday with a holiday picnic crowd of about 300 persons aboard.
 These were in addition to 10 bodies found Friday night. Police said at least 95 persons still were unaccounted for at the start of the weekend, placing the prob able toll at nearly 150.
 The victims, mostly women and children, drowned when the heav- fly loaded craft sprang a leak and sank about six yards offshore. Most of the victims were trapped beneath decks amid wild confu- sion.
 The double-decker craft was chartered by the Agricultural En- gineers' Association.
 Agricultural Minister Saved Marei described it as "a human and economic tragedy because those drowned include the best of our agricultural engineers"
 One of the first to reach the scene was President Canal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Repub- lie, who personally directed the rescue of some passengers strug- gling in the water.
