REHOBoTH BEACH. Del.
July 29.-Those visiting Reho-
both Beach for the first time
generally comment on the pres
ence Of many large and obvi-
ously well-attended churches.
The presence of these reli-
gious edifices and the mode
of living that characterizes
today's Rehoboth Beach serves
to cue the visitor to the fact
that this Atlantic Coast resort
began as a place where people
initially came for prayer and
meditation.
In fact, even its name is OF
Biblical origin.
That the English who settled
here sometime prior to 1875
were people with deep religious
feelings is evidenced by the
fact they named the area
"Rehoboth" meaning room
enough" (fhom Genesis 26:22)
While they undoubtedly en-
joyed the oysters. CLAIMS and
crabs abundant in the nearby
inland bays and possibly did
some salt water and fresh
water fishing, they were prin-
cipally farmers who grew corn,

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.-Of-
ficials of this city and sur
rounding Princess Anne County
have joined forces in an in
tsresting contest for a prize
cultural and tourist attraction
At stake is a proposed multi
million dollar Methodist col
lege, which the city council
and county Board Of Super
visors would like to have
located here. The supervisors
view erection Of the school in
their area as q fine asset. both
culturally and economically.
The board began studying
the matter at least three
months before the college was
approved by the Virginia An
nual Conference Of the Metho-
dist Church.
Virginia Beach, q SeaSnore
community with little land to
spare, is happy to assist the
Sprawling county in its efforts.
Although the college wouldn't
be located within the city lin
its, almost any site in the
county would enhance this
city's tourist-pulling power and
year-round economy.
Standing in the way Of the
county's successful bid are two
obstacles, and one is easily
solved. This is a provision that
a 200-acre site suitable for the
institution be donated. At least
a half-dozen offers Of land
have been made.
The second obstacle is more
difficult to resolve. Norfolk

Hot Sun Puts
Traveller Into
Pool and Surf.
BY AYCOCK BROWN
Contributing Writer

MACS HEAD, N. C.-During
the past week on the beaches
of Mays Head the most popular
attractions have been the hot
sun. cool surf and swimming
pools.
AS with all other sections of
the Atlantic Coast, the Outer
Banks region was enveloped in
q heat wave. But the heat wave
paid off.
More and more people came
to this coastland to enjoy va
cations during the peak Of the
season. Everyone talked about
the heat and here the vaca-
tionists did something about it.
They went into the surf, they
acquired more tan from the
sun, and they filled the swim
ming pools.
Only in recent years have
swimming pools become popu-
lar at this Century-old ocean
resort. Until five years ago
there were only two or three.
Today just about every hotel,
motel or cottage court offer
swimming pools as ad d e d
attraction.
Something else the majority
Of places are offering today on
the coast of Mays Head are air
conditioned rooms-accommo-
dations which in most Of the
places also have television as
an added attraction.
SportSwise, during the past
week it was game fishing In
the spotlight and excellent
catches we're made each day,
catches that ranged from blue
fish. founder, trout and sea
mullet from inshore waters to
colorful dolphin, amberjack,
white and blue marlin, king
mackerel, giant blues, tuna and
many other varieties from the
nearby deep sea waters or from
the edge of the Gulf Stream.
One of the big complaints
from vacationists who were
making side trips to HatteraS
and Ocracoke Islands during
the past week, and all summer
long as matter Of fact, has
been the often long waits for
ferries at Oregon and Hatteras
InletS.
State Highway officials who
provide the ferry service at no
cost. thus giving vacationistS a
free cruise from island to is
land have promised stepped
up service before the summer
passes.
