REHOBOTH BEACH, Del
Judging by the record-break-

in Rehoboth Beach and other
nearby Delaware resorts over
the long Fourth Of July holi-
day, the 1851 season, now In
full swing, undoubtedly viii be
the best ever experienced by
this recreational area.
Starting on Friday. June 80,
and continuing on throug h
July 1 and 2, all roads seemed
to lead to the Delaware resort
area and while traffic was kept
moving at . pretty fair clip
the bumper-to-bumper flow
continued well into each night.
While the flow abated soAne-
what on Monday, the crowds
were further swelled on Tues
day by the additional people
from nearby Delaware and
Maryland communities who
came in for one-day outings
at the beach.
Many Of those who came In
last week end are still here
enjoying vacations that
stretch through q second week
end or longer. Among this
group are several thousand
Washingtonians attestin 8

popularity with those who live
and work in or near the Ma

With the passing Of Inde-

full swing. While the beaches
will. Of course, continue as the
principal attraction. indica-

For this booming British
colony is altering its skyline
so fast that returning residents
gasp at the changes after 9

As rapidly as the old build

(behind bamboo scaffolding)
Until recently, the new build

Timely Hint:
Camera Use

Cunard Line has come up
with these special hints for use
OF your camera aboard ship:
Direct spray and misty air
may fog the lens of your
camera, 50 keep it clean with
lens tissue. Put exposed film
back in the original carton, but
don't seal the carton and don't
rewrap the film in its silver
foil. If you do. you may seal
moisture in and spoil the film.
Sunshine can be brighter at
sea and extra light may come
from reflection on the water,
so be careful about over-ex-

posure. Be extremely care
ful when using today's fast
films under bright conditions.
All won't be IN the bright
sunlight. You may want to
take shots of shipboard parties,
dinners, games or dances. So
don't forget your flash.
If you own q foreign camera,
show it to the United States
customs inspector at the pier
before you sail. He will regis

to that effect. Then you'll have
less trouble when you bring it

Hong Kong Tries
ToKeep Abreast

ing boom is on. Never a place
to do things by halves, Hong
Kong has Just increased its
hotel capacity by nearly so per
cent with four new hotels OPEN
ing at Kowloon-the colony's
principal city on the Chinese
mainland. Hong Kong now can
count on a total of 1857 rooms.
More Coming
Even more spectacular is the
next phase. Three Skyscraper
hotels are to go up within a
quarter Of a mile of each other
in downtown Hong Kong. Their
combined capacity will add
another 1000 or more rooms
by the fall Of 1862.
Significantly, much of the
money behind these hotels is
coming from outside Hong
Kong. Two Of the Kowloon
hotels now in operation was
built with money from "over-
seas Chinese"-those who have
long since migrated to South
east Asia.
On the island itself, Texas
millionaires paid nearly So mil
lion to buy the land that once
was the parade ground Of the
British Army in downtown
Hong Kong. They plan to build
a 1,000-room hotel.
The second of the projected
skyscrapers on the island-a
32-story structures report
edly financed by. Chinese in
terests in nearby Macao.
Here to Stay
The fact that so much for
eign money is coming into
Hong Kong Is being regarded
as an expression Of faith that
the colony is here to stay
despite the proximity of Red
China,
OF equal significance is the
third hotel-the 26-story prof.
ect Of the Hong Kong Land
Investment & Agency Co., Ltd,
which has been the biggest
landowner of the central or
downtown district Of Hong
Kong for 100 years.
The real estate company's
decision to go along with the
hotel building boom is its rec
Iognition that the forecast Of
80 per cent more tourists a
year is justified. +
The big new hotels will have

CARL C.. COUNCIL, Durham
newspaper publisher who is the
1960-61 Chairman of the North
Carolina Christmas Seal Cam
paign, Tuesday presented DR.. Stu
art Willis, President of the North
Carolina tuberculosis Association,
1000 one dollar bills raised dur
ing the campaign.
In a symbolic exchange for the
$1,000 DIR. Willis gave Council
1000 sheets of Christmas Seals.
The Christmas Seal is the 81 year
old means of raising money to
fight tuberculosis. additionally,
North Carolinians have contribut-
ed 81 per sheet for Christmas
Seals.
Chairman Council said, "There
is still time for those North Caro-
linians who haven't done so to ex-
change their dollars for the Christ
mas Seals that were sent them
before Christmas. In fact, the cam
paign total at this time is less
than it was at the same time last
year, and unless we reach last
years total we will have to cut
back on research and other life
saving programs"
President Willis stated that the
$1,000 could be used in the several
research projects that are current
ly being supported by the North
Carolina tuberculosis Association.
Over $4,000 of Christmas Seal
funds were spent in North Caro-
lima last yaer on research prof.
ects.
When asked for what purposes
1000 one dollar bills might be
used in the research projects, DR..
Willis stated, 1.-THE money might
be used to buy a piece of vitality
needed laboratory equipment. 1t
could purchase 200 to 300 guinea
pigs and feed them for several
weeks (guinea pigs are essential
to the search for a TB vaccine).
A thousand dollars could furnish
scientific consultation on a spe-
cific research problem or it could
provide training fellowship to a
young scientist entering the field
of tuberculosis research"
Council pointed out that many
people wait until after the first OF
