TALKING OF BUSINESS
. DC. Firm Busy Furnishing MoteIs
From Voodoo to Modern Decor
BY TRUMAN TEMPLE
Star star Writer


A few months ago some busi-
iiessmen in Puerto Rico decided
they'd like to build q voodoo
restaurant.
1t would have coconut masks
and spears on the wall. The
lamps would be oil torches.
Chairs would resemble cut-away
barrels.
About the same time, q syn
dicate in Pennsylvania drew up
plans for q colonial" motor
lodge. It's final touch would
be a bust Of George Washing
ton in the lobby. Their prob
lem: Who could handle the job,
and get the statue? \
Both parties wound up hiring
a Washington ID. c. firm, the
Revere Furniture & Equipment
Co. Behind this non-commit-
tai title is an accommodating
young concern that earns a tidy
living by furnishing motels and
other institutions in just about
any style that's asked,
Got Off-Beat Start
Revere got its start by adapt
ing to off-beat surroundings. If
you glance at its showroom floor
at 507 Eighth street Sc, you'll
find the polished hardwood of
a bowling alley.
AS President William A.
Bayard tells it, the alley was
q pretty good deal when he
strolled in among the dust
covered duckpins one October
day in 1854. THE rent is $7OO
a month";" said the owner.
"1'Il give you $780," eoun-
tered Mr.. Bayard. who didn't
have dime in his pocket. They
struck a deal: in lieu Of re-
moving the alleys, the owner
gave him three months free
rent.
"Our first customers were
treated to bowling on the Of
flee floor" the president con-
fesseS, land I set up the pins
free. We were pretty hard up"
The idea of selling interiors
by contract appealed to the
company'S three founders while |
they were SaleSmen with a local
furniture discount house. They
finally worked up nerve to take |
a fling at it together, quitting
jobs they'd held for years. In
addition to Mr.. Bayard, the |
others were Alexander VI
Houlon, vice president, and
Banjamin D. Kremen. treasurer
and comptroller.
$40 Million Motel Investment
The Revere Co. hit on the
crest of a building boom for
motelS. In 1854 there were
$1,000 of them with $4,000
rooms, worth a total invest
ment Of $3.9 billion.
BY 1860. the number had
risen to $4,000 motels Offering
is million overnight rooms.
More important for Revere,
the investment had scared
past the $40 billion mark, re-
flecting much more elaborate
interiors.
There were several reasons

With the free market price

Policies Discussed
Critics of the United States

been done. The London Econ
omiSt contends that foreign
banks were discouraged from
doing this by the United'States
Treasury. The weekly thinks
the Treasury should reverse its
stand and positively encourage
other central banks to under
take" this way Of bringing 1.-The
London market back into line.
The Economist argues that "the
American authorities cannot
ignore the psychological effect
of the dollar premium on gold
in London"
Supporters of the hands-off
policy argue intervention would
harm rather than cure. They
hold that a direct move to burst

HS-C's Little All American
Lineman Given Grid Reins
Stokeley Fulton
Succeeds Thalman

Football Drawn five years aft
college is about as usless as
4 coverless baseball. and the
last thing Hampden-Sydney Col
lage's new football coach h.
Stokeley Fulton, wants to
change on the campus is the
prinacy of scholarship.
The lessons and discipline of
football are good for a lifetime.
The 29-year-old. 1855 H-SC
graduate is also dead sure about
that.
Blending these two into an
invigorating, wholesome and
worthwhile facet of campus life
for athletes and nonathletes
alike is Fulton's No. l
ideal as he take over what he
hulably acknowledges to be a
big challenge.
Besides being an idealist. the
former Little All-America is a
coach with ideas, although he
admits these are a little on the
humdrum side when ii comes
to football. Good football is pri-
marily a matter of blocking and
tackling. and that's that.
To Throw More
The four-time All-Little Eight
lineman anticipates sticking
basically with the IT. =. He
adds, We'll throw a little more,
though by way of indicating he
has his own views on the value
Of the forward rass. Hes been
assistant at H-SC since 1857.
Fulton now will start a little
judicious recruiting. although he
knows the limitations imposed
where football occupies a sec
ondary role. and where admis-
sion standards are the same
for a prospective Phi Beta Kap-
pa and an all-district fullback.
He's even anxious TO work
against that limitation. "Hamp-
'den-Sydney has something to of
fer a boy, particularly one who
wants an education. Football
here has to be pretty much a
matter Of the boys personal de-
sires. It's something extra a
player gives not required in the
curriculum simply because he'll
undergo its discipline for love
of the game" the new coach
states.
That's the kind Of good-per-
spectivc football atmosphere
Fulton underwent at Hampden-
Sydney himself. and he's sold
on it. A plugger for his alma
mater, Fulton frankly admits he
wanted this chance about as
much as anything before in his

Oyer-E Emphasis Nipped

The Virginia High School League. well sprinkled with school
principals and administrators, keeps a pretty good rein on over
exuberance about scholastic athletics. In that respect it serves
a very good purpose.
Last week the League set a maximum of 16 games for a
regular season basketball schedule for Group 1 schools, and it
seems likely that the same reasonable ceiling will be put on
Group II schedules when the Leagues Legislative Council meess
again at Longwood College on June 20.
District 3, the group representing high schools in this area,
had asked for a change in football regulations requesting thai
the practice starting date statewide be moved up to August Is
from the present August Is date. Only schools in the States
western portion are now permitted to start on the earlier date.
