English Politics Not
Personality Contest
BY AMELIA YOUNG

The warmth of a politi-
clans handshake. the breadth
Of his smile and the size of
his family are considered
pretty much beside the point
In British elections.
Voters show little interest
in such details, according to
Mrs. Shirley Williams Of
England, a three-time candi-
date for Parliament.
Only 20 and already an
outstanding member of her
country's Labor Party, Mrs.
Williams says, mo journal
would dream Of doing a per-
sonal piece about me-"
The British press is begin
ming slowly" to focus atten-
ton on the personalities of
the party leaders-"That's
something of an American
import" she said. But the
average politicians looks and
manner, home life and pri-
vate interests are left out Of
the news.
British elections haven't
become popularity contests"
Mrs. Williams explained I'd
chiefly because the candidate
for Office is still closely iden-
titled with his party and the
parties are still clearly di-
vided in terms of policy.
There Is greater coalition
between parties in the United
States, she pointed out.
IF the (British) parties
split and split again" If the
distinctions between their
policies grow fuzzy, then per-
sonality will doubtless be-
come an important factor in
British campaigns too, she
said.
Attending Conference
Mrs. williams is in WASH
ington to attend the Second
Atlantic Conference Of Young
Politic al Leaders, which
opened Thursday evening and
continues through Wednes-
day at the Sheraton-Park
Hotel.
The conference has brought
together 140 prominent young
politicians (none older than
40) representing democratic
parties of the Is NATO ma
tions. Approximately half Of
them are members of their
country's congress or parlia-
ment.
Chosen as likely world
leaders of tomorrow, they are
here to exchange views and
hammer out new ideas on
foreign affairs.
Mrs. williams is one Of
nine women among the 140
delegates.
An economist and jour-
nalist, she recently was made
national secretary of the
Fabian Society, the high
level research arm of the
British Labor Party. She is
currently making a study Of
the underdeveloped econo-
mics of the world, and pre-
pared a report on this sub
ject for one Of the five COM
missions at the YPL con-
ference.

THE JAMES CLEMENT
DUNNS' wedding reception
at Anderson Hou5e for their
granddaughter, Anne de Bail
let-Latour, and bridegroom,
Fergus Reid III, of New York,
drew the cream of Washing.
ton society. It took the re-
ceiving line fully an hour
and a half to greet the con-
tinuous procession of social
ties.
Few career ambassadors
have known so many people
while serving in so many i'm
portant posts as James
Clement Dunn. His top pre-
retirement positions were
Ambassador to Italy, Ambas-
sador to France, Ambassador
to Spain and Ambassador to
Brazil. And many of the
guests who greeted him and
his family Saturday had
known him and Mrs. Dunn
when he was chief of protocol
in the early part of FDR's
administration or even in the
late '20s. when he was di-
rector Of ceremonies at the
White House.
Among those old-time
friends who gathered in the
Great Hall Of Anderson
House were Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, Mrs. ]. Borden
Hartman, Countess Lazlo
Szechenyi and Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Woods Bliss.
The other members of his
family they saw were the
brides mother, Mrs. Max
Gevers, the former Mariana
Dunn, and the latter's sister,
Mrs. Charles Thayer, the
former Cynthia Dunn, and
her husband, who is Mrs.
Chip" Bohlen's brother. Am.
baSsador and Mrs. Bohlen
were also on the scene.
THE THAYERS came from
their home in Munich for the
wedding; The Gevers from
New York and the Dunns
from Rom. where they are
now living. Despite their
varied addresses. home meant
Washington, and to Wash
ington they came for the i'm.
portant event. The Dunns
indicated that Washington
would eventually be their
permanent address, too.
The Dunns will be here an
other week, then visit in
New England before return
ing to Rome. The bridal
couple are now basking in
the sun at Cancel Bay, st.
Johns, Virgin Islands.

There are not more than

Guggenheim Museum" said
DR.. A. Martin de Wilde, the
noted Dutch connoiSseur and
expert on the care of paint
ings who is here to supervise
the packing and shipment of
the Gulbenkian collection
from the National Gallery of
Art.
The man who recognized
the fake eers that
caused such a stir in Europe
several years ago doesn't
mince words about his dis
taste for abstract art. He
thinks it is simply a vogue
and cannot last.
THE THINGS THAT PASS
for great art today-the
formless splashes of paint on
canvas, the meaningless in
crustations of extra thick
oils-these may offer some
thing interesting in design or
color combinations. But how,
asks DR.. de Wilde. do they
indicate the technique Of a
great painter?
OF all the arr exhibited in
the Guggenheim Museum,
the only items he considers
fine paintings are two Modi-
glianis and one CeZanne.

Among other things, he said,

LABOR DAY WEEK END
BROUGHT MANY FOLKS

Labor Day week end brought
many folks to the Dare Coast,
according to a National Park Serv-
ice report which indicated that
from Saturday morning through
Monday a total of 1886 persons
entered Cape Hatteras National
Seashore. This is a record for a
Labor Day week end on the Dare
Coast.
Of the total persons entering the
National Seashore approximately
1900 were counted as campers in
the Oregon Inlet area.
August generally, was an ex-
ceptionally good month for vaca-
ton travel on the Dare Coast de-
spite much rainy weather. Attend
ance at Wright Brothers National
Monument for the month totaled
62,177, and increase of 34.1 per-
cent over August 1859 when 49,
366 persons visited the area. The
increase in attendance was attri-
butued largely to the opening of
the new visitors center which is a
museum of early flight material
such as that used by the famous
brothers, Wilbur and Orville
Wright.
During August 11O,376 persons
visited or entered Cape Hatteras
National Seashore, a record for
any August since this great sea-
shore recreational area was Gre
ated. The August attendance push
ed the total number of visitors
counted at the National Seashore
during the calendar year to date
to 361 1878 persons.
Of 30,164 persons visiting Fort
Raleigh National Historic site dur

RECENT CHANGES MADE IN
FARM HOUSING REGULATIONS

Under recent change in the
eligibility requirements for Farm
Housing loans, a farmer who owns
farm that will annually produce
for sale or home use at least $500
worth of commodities may, if he
meets other eligibility require
ments, be able to obtain a Farm
Housing loan.
Previously, according to D. B.
Willis, Farmers Home Administra-
ton County Supervisor for Hyde
and Dare Counties, an applicant
had to own a farm that would pro-
duce substantial amount of the
operators income.
Farm Housing loans are made
by the Farmers Home Administra-
ton and are used to construct and
repair needed farm houses and
farm service buildings. During
the past 10 years, Z loans totaling
$48,800 have been advanced for
this purpose in Hyde and Dare
Counties.
Other eligibility requirements for
Farm Housing loans remain I'M
changed. These requirements are
that the applicant lacks the re-
sources needed to obtain credit
elsewhere, be a citizen of the
United States, and have sufficient
income from farm and other
sources to pay farm operating and
family living expenses and meet
payments, when due, on his debts
Applications for this tpye Of
credit may be made at the County
Office of the Farmers Home Ad
ministration located in the Lup
ton Building, Swan Quarter, N. C

You would ask your rider. l am

No persons shall load passengers

BETTER SCHOOLS GROUP
TO MEET IN GREENVILLE

The North Carolina Citizens
Committee for Better Schools will
meet in an afternoon workshop
session at East Carolina College
on Tuesday, September q at 200
o'clock. The meeting will open
promptly at $50. DR.. Leo jenkins,
President of East Carolina College
will make the opening address.
Then we will divide into study
groups for about one and one half
hours, giving attention to the Rec
concentrations of the Curriculum
Study as a means of school i'm
provement in North Carolina. We
will then return to McGinnis Audi
forum for the closing address by
Dallas Herring, Vice-chairman of
the North Carolina Citizens Com
mittee for Better Schools. Follow
ing this address the meeting will
adjourn and you can be on your
way home.
Each school administrative unit
has been urged to participate In
this meeting with the hope that
all people who have something to
say concerning education and its
curriculum and how we'll it is fl
nanced will attend the meeting.
Many of our people have no con-
ception of the magnitude of the
problems which face the public
schools today. The group to whom
this letter is being sent is repre-
sentative of those who have some
connection with the public schools.
If just one small group can gain
a better understanding of the edu-
cational problems and needs it is
felt that much progress can be
made in the education program.

Hawk Bay by Mrs. Jean Perry of
Kill Devil Hills. Anderson Midget
of Hatteras reported one party
catching two channel bass weigh
ing IS and 20 pounds-best catch
of week.
Only one blue marlin was boated
by anglers fishing for them off
Oregon Inlet during the past week.
The fish, PIG pouder was caught
by F. Trotman of Winston-Salem
from aboard Capt. Gilbert Tillett's
cruiser.
Blue marlin fishing in past years
has continued until late Autumn.
They have been taken as late as
November Is off Hatteras. The
billfish seem to be concentrated off
Oregon Inlet during July, August
and early September and show UP
off Hatteras during late September
and in October.
White marlin catches by anglers
aboard Oregon Inlet boats have
been up to par this year. The
whites Stacked somewhat during
the past week, but several were
taken. Some of the boats bringing
in white marlin included those of
Willie Etheridge, Chick Craddock,
Les Evans, Dan Lewark and others.
Several sailfish have also been
taken off Oregon Inlet. The largest
measured six foot nine inches, the
smallest 81 inches.
Dolphin, WahoO Plentiful
Dolphin catches during the cur
rent season have been up to par
and often better aboard Oregon In
let and Hatteras-based cruisers.
Plenty of wahoo have been taken,
and oceanic bonita and false alba
core have been taken by the

Bluefish and Spanish Mackerel

Anglers trolling with artificial
lures in Oregon and Hatteras In
cts had some of the best fishing
during the past week, since the big
runs last Spring. Mixed with the
blues have been plenty of Spanish
mackerel.
:. Jesse Etheridge who specializes
in inlet fishing had a party from
Nyack, N. Y, Sept. 2, which
caught 1872 blues and three Spanish
mackerel. Sept. S, another party
headed by J. w. Foreman of Eliza
beth City boated 223 blues, but
only one Spanish mackerel. Blues
weighed from one to one and half
pounds. The largest mackerel
scaled at four pounds.
Reports from Hatteras indicate
similarly good fishing and large
catches. One Norfolk party aboard
Tex Balances charter cruiser
caught 243 blues and 10 Spanish
mackerel in a single day of fish
ing.
The foregoing are some of the
larger catches. Other parties
aboard Oregon Inlet and Hatteras
based cruisers caught from 40 to
100 blues without difficulty dur
ing the past week end and they
were still catching Spanish mack
erel.
Fishing Inshore Reported.
Fishing was unusually good
wherever an angler wet a line in
Dare Coast waters during Labor
Day week end but the excellent
catches were only fair by mid-week
as the forerunning effects of
stormy weather offshore was felt
along the Outer Banks.
In Croatan Sound near Manns
Harbor they caught plenty of
striped bass and even more in the
Alligator River-Albemarle Sound
waters farther west. They have
been catching a few croakers in
Croatan Sound and Roanoke Sound
near the Pamlico, in the
area and at the Little
Bridge between Mays Head and
was showing the usual
early September Improvement. A
few trout, not many, have been
taken in Roanoke sound. Founder
have been plentiful in the lower
reaches of Roanoke Sound.
Fishing from the ocean piers in
the Dare Beaches area and at Ro-
danthe on Hatteras Island was not
up to par for this season but
catches were becoming much bet
ter than during the summer when
casting from ocean piers along the
Atlantic coast reached a new low
for results.
Surf fishing reported as good
during the week end was practic-
ally at a standstill by Thursday of
this week due to rough waters.
Channel bass catches of fish go
ing to 20 pounds were reported
from the Hatteras Inlet and Dare
Beaches section. A puppy drum
was even reported from Kitty
