SENIOR CLASS TO
GIVE A COMEDY
"oNIONS IN STEW

The Manteo High School Sem
ior Class will present a three
act, situation comedy entitled
Onions in the Stew" on Mon
day night at 8:15, if the cast
isn't too hysterical to 60 on.
The seniors have come up with
a play which they say is aexact-
iy like life on Roanoke Island, 2
IN fact the resemblance is so
obvious that they burst into un-
controlled fits Of laughter while
reading the script and rehears-
ing. OF course the episode in the
second act where Della Basnight
10 drenched with water and the
scores of 3love scenes" don't
help much. Still, Mrs. Ida Ed
wards and Miss Mabel Jean Bas-
night are convinced that they
can keep the seniors from burst
ing into paroxysnns Of laughter,
at least long enough to give a
performance on Monday night.
The play, written by Betty
Mcdonald, deals with the trials
and tribulations connected with
the rearing Of two teen-age
daughters on an island similar
to Roanoke.
Della Basnight, a comedian of
the first water, is the mother in
the play and is reported to have
groomed herself to perfection
for her role. Miss Basnight,
who is Historically funny when
serious, reaches the riot point
in her performance Of Onions
in the Stew
Miss Basnight will be ably
supported by Dionne Tillett and
Rachel Morgan, who are her
Glove struck, all knowing
daughters in the play. Dionne
uses her athletic ability to adj
vantage in overcoming the OBJ
stacles which separate her from
the sailor with whom she is sup
posed TO be in love; and Rachel

UNIFORM CODE
FOR BUILDING
is DISCUSSED
County and Town Hesds Con-
fer On Draft for Sections
To Be Affected

Representatives from Nags
Head, Kill Devil Hills and Man
teo met with county officials and
members from the N. C. Board
of Conservation and Develop
ment and the N. C. Insurance
Commission on Wednesday in
the courtroom to draft a COM
mon building code to augment
building regulations now in eff
feet in municipal and county
areas.
Their objective is the estab-
lishment of strict building code
which would encompass the
towns Of Kill Devil Hills, Man.
teo, Nags Head and other unin-
corporated portions of Dare
County. The plan would also
provide for a permanent build
ing Inspector to serve the area
affected.
The code would require rigid
construction standards to pro-
tect structures from the high
winds and flooding which ac-
company destructive storms on
the Dare Coast.
Ralph Swain chairman Of the
County Planning Commission.
presided over the meeting which
was attended by Robert Bar
bour, Administrator of Commu-
nifty Planning from Raleigh:
Durwood Curling Of the North
Carolina Division Of Community
Planning from Kinston; David
Stick, chairman of the Dare
County Board Of Commission
ers, Mayor Julian oneto Of
Nags Head, Mayor J. L. Mur-
ply Of Kill Devil Hills and Mrs.
Roy Wescott Of the Dare Coun-
ty Planning Board.
Swain, whose committee has,
been active over the past month
in preparing a building code
draft, presented a proposed list
of regulations which were pat
termed after the building code
now in effect at Carolina Beach.
He explained that certain mod
|ifications and additions will be
necessary because of the unique
ness of our area"
The regulations would require
that new buildings be bolted to-
gether at roof, wall and founda-
tions levels and would require
specified foundation heights to
protect from flooding.
Mayor Murphy emphasized
the fact that pilings are neces-
sary to prevent serious damage
in certain areas and noted that
flooding was a more serious
problem than high winds.
K. E. Church of the North
Carolina Insurance Commission
er's office, "who was described
as the top expert on building
codes in the state" indicated
that there are only two ways to
prevent flood damage. "One is
not to build where there will be
flooding and the other is to use
piling which win raise the build
ing like fire-towers," he indi-
Gated.
David Stick said that the
building code must be combined
with zoning regulations ito get
the buildings back from the
ocean, and in some areas I be-
lieye we should insist that they
be bzilt on pilings."
He added, IN his personal
opinion, that .fn most places.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Disuppointments Get You Down?
By DR.. PETER }. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
agree when you write that
intense emotions like re-
sentiment and hate can
actually make a person sick.
To prove it, all you have
to do is sit down to a meal
in anger, and chances are
you can't even swallow the
food. And if it does get
down, the stomach knots up
around it like a ball.
But there's another emo
ton which I have never
seen mentioned in your
column. I refer to disap-
pointment in a person whom
you trusted and looked up
to. When a business asso-
ciate's or friends action
results in loss Of a prom
ised job or promotion, it's
hard to forget it.
A friend was apparently
pleased with the job I was
doing in his concern. We
had lunch together and
were very friendly. He would
always compliment me on
my work. We talked of plans
to do even bigger things.
Then, without warning, this
friend became a heartless
executioner. Why are people
like this?
In my case. disappoint-

he loves us, but the makeup

I've tried everything to
bring us closer together.
I've seen our minister, a

even a psychiatrist. They
have helped me to bear it,
but the situation hasn't i'm
proved. My husband just
keeps telling me how won

him. I suppose 1 should be

cause there are worse prob

situation does not improve
it. Something vital is miss

Mr.. x.
CALL 1T disappointment,
or what you will, but when
it's prolonged day after day
it turns into hostility and
resentment. You're not so
much hurt now as angry
and full Of resentment. I
have come across many
people who have been un-
necessarily hurt as you have
been. And I too have Won
dered why people don't
realize that stringing some
one along is an inexcusable
thing to do. Especially in
the entertainment and polit-
ical fields, its practitioners
can't seem to give you an
honest yes or no.
Better stop feeling dis
appointed. Your resentment
will do you no good. Per-
haps you can benefit by
this painful experience. You
will have to become a prac-
tical philosopher and realize
that the world is made up

It takes all kinds, When

Social Security has be-
come a narcotic to many OF
our retired people. There is
an evil angle to it that our
Government and our retired
people haven't faced up to
yet.
MY husband retired
nearly two years ago. He
went through all the folderol
Of getting his social security
payments started on time.
And from the day his first
Government check arrived
Il don't think he ever really
believed it would come-he
has been a convert to social
security-ism. Boy, is he a
convert!
He won't touch any job.
He was offered an advisory
position with one company
at exactly seven times as
much money as social Sc
curity is paying him. He has
another chance to go to
work on a contract Job for
one year and get four times
what the social security
check gave is. His mouth
watered at both offers, but
he was afraid. He would lose
his social security check
while he was working. He
might not get it back. Oh,
he couldn't do THAT!
