MRS. INA MANN WATER
FIELD of Manns Harbor, who
holds down a. desk with West
Virginia Pulp & Paper Co. in
Manteo, is amust unusual woman,
in that she came to be sixty years
old this month, and celebrated a
recent Saturday for this occasion,
telling the world her age. When
other women try to conceal their
age, Mrs. Waterfield boasts of
going strong at sixty.
She has had a varied experience
going to college at Is, then taking
a business course, and joining the
Navy in 1918 spent a year as a
yeomanette in Norfolk. She fol.
lowed up as a Civil service worker
in Washington and spent a yeal
in Japan with the Quartermaster's
office in Tokyo in 1946-47, where
she was chief of the administrative
section of the Subsistence Branch
In Washington she had also been
secretary to a couple of Congress-
men, and worked with the old MIRA
and the Soil Conservation Service
Prior to her retirement in 1858
she was highly commended by her
supeliors, in a citation paying
tribute to her efficiency and hel
effectiveness in dealing with other
employees.
In her early years of secretarial
work she engaged in several COM
mercial enterprises. In 1858 she re-
tired, and came back to MAINS
lHarbor, to build a cottage, tend a
garden and watch television. 1t was
not long before the office lured
her back to work, and she has been
with w. Va. Pulp & Paper fol
several years. Her parents were the
late Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Mann OF
Manns Harbor. Mr.. Mann reached
his nineties, and it's looks like Ina
is going that way, so vigorous is
she at. 60.

new quarters. Many of the res
taurant's seafood preparations will
be featured.
A new brick exterior graces the
front of the building, and vast i'm
provements have been made to the
interior-two new fireplaces, brok-
en- tile floor throughout, new tables
and chairs, replacing those which
drifted away in food waters in
the storm.
Located on Pond Island between
Manteo and Mays Head, the Oasis
has been operated by Mrs. Kellam
for several seasons, and has been
the subject on many occasions of
visiting writers, one of the more
recent by Grace Sumner which APP
peared in the Norfolk Ledger-Dis-
patch, and follows here in part:
Last Sunday, my husband and
drove down to Mays Head to
have dinner with Violet Kellam,
who owns and operates the Oasis,
a justly famous Carolina seafood
restaurant on Roanoke Sound, "just
past the little bridge"
Mrs. Kellam is best known in
Norfolk, where she spends the
winters, as the former director of
the Ocean View Community Gen.
ter. Several years ago, she took
her courage in both hands and VEN
tured into the restaurant business,
something she had always wanted
to do.
Hurricane Donna completely de-
stroyed the Oasis last September,
and although it has been complete
ly rebuilt, the same casual atmos-
phere, so treasured by Mays Head
vacationists, has been maintained.
Huge fireplaces, enormous pieces of
sculptured driftwood, original oils
by Mrs. Kellam, and the barefoot
mattresses, all help create in hun
cry guests the feeling that they
are about to have new eating ex-
perience.
Sepcialies of the house are clam
chowder ("not New England, not
Manhattan, but our ownO, and
best described as New England
with a southern accent, German
fried potatoes and lace cornbread.
Most of the seafood comes from
nearby Hatteras.
I was able to ferret out two of
the secrets that help make the
Oasis clam chowder so delicious.
(You know, Pm sure, that there
are those believe clam chowder
should be made with milk and
those who won't eat it unless il
has tomatoes and some who use
neither.) That's the Oasis kind
The creamy consistency is achiev-
ed with instant mashed potatoes
just enough to add color and body
to the chowder, which gets its
really excellent flavor from liberal
use of fresh clam juice.
The secret of the German fried
potatoes Mrs. Kellam would not
part with, but Pm sure it must lie
in a light coating of flour to
which a bit of baking powder has
been added, because the potatoes
(cut like French fries), have a
delicate puffy, out-of-this world
crust.
