Local Group Here
Opposes VI Nu6onul
Pork Legislation

Acting swiftly and emphatical-
", the Alliance Party Of the Vir-
gin Islands on Tuesday took a firm
stand against enactment of legis-
lation presently before the House
of Representatives. The Alliance
Party stated in cables to the
House Rules Committee, chaired
by Rep. Wayne N. Aspinall, Sem
ate Minority Leader, House Mi
nority Leader, Sen. Clinton B. An
derson, of New Mexico, sponsor
of the bill, and Secretary of the
Interior, Stewart E. Udall: IRE
garding legislation for acquisition
of additional land for Virgin Is
lands National Park in st. John,
the Alliance Party is drastically
opposed to the enactment" The
cable was signed by Bill Blewett,
Jr., Vice President, Carlos Perez
Gonzales, Cruz Santana and Clar-
ence Ussery, members Of the ex-
ecutive board.
The legislation gives the FEEDER
al Government power to condemn
land to complete the park on st.
John. It also extends the park
boundaries to include $3.50 acres
Of submerged land along the north
and south coasts of the island.
The Alliance Party, as stated to
the Governor in an interview at
Alexander Hamilton Airport, is
opposed to that portion Of the bill
which pertains to the condemna-
ton of land which is at present
privately owned. The Alliance
Party also states that the section
of the bill which would include
$3.50 acres of submerged lands
within the boundaries of the park
needs further study. From infor-
nation locally available, it cam
not be determined what effect the
bill would have on present and
future fishing industries of st.
John.

MACS HEAD, N. C. - Early
July has brought diversified
fun and recreation for vaca-
tionists here in the Mays Head
area Of North Carolina Outer
Banks.
Foul weather early last week
resulted in fine achcombing
for those who search for treas
ures along the tidelne. Beach
combing is always at its best
following shifts of the sea wind
and tides that flow above
normal.
The flotsam and jetsam that
comes ashore may range from
seashells to driftwood, bottles,
some of ancient vintage, 9TH
ers that may have been thrown
overheard from a passing ship
the day before it fetched up on
the beach at Mays Head, and
many even find money.
On rare occasions one will
find coins along the beach that
date back to the day when
pieces of eight were legal ten
der.
An expert on what the sea
and its tides may cast ashore,
or what the windblown sands
may uncover, is Jesse Newman,

REHOBOTH BEACH, DEL
Those visiting Rehoboth Beach
for the first time generally
comment upon the many large
and well-attended churches,
one of the many things that
serve to make this 1.-The resort
that is different"
The presence Of these re-
ligious edifices and the whole
some even-paced mode of liv-
ing that charaeterizeS today's
Rehoboth Beach serves to cue
the visitor to the fact that this
increasingly popular 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 settlers who
settled here sometime prior to
1875 were people with deep re-
ligious feelings is evidenced by
the fact that they named the
area "Rehoboth," meaning
room enough" (from Genesis
XVI, 22).
/, While they undoubtedly en-
joyed the oysters, clans and
crabs abundant in the nearby
inland bays and possibly did
some salt water and fresh water
fishing. they were principally
farmers who produced corn,
wheat and other field crops on
large plantation-type tracts.
Their churches, like their
dwellings, were mostly con-
structed of timber cut from the
woodlands that surrounded
their farms; some of these
wooded areas extended right
down to the beaches just as
they do to this day.
Early Accommodations
Although construction of a
hotel was contemplated as early
as 1855, when the State of
Delaware granted five acres of
beachland to a "Rehoboth Ho-
tel Company" as a site for a
hotel (which was never built =,
1t was not until 1870 that the
areas first Accommodation
a combination summer hotel
and fall cunning camp - was
build nearly at what is now
Dewey Beach.
In 1872, an organization
known as the Rehoboth Beach
Camp Meeting Association of
the Methodist Episcopal
Church bought a tract near the
present beachfront and laid out
streets. The following year, two
small hotels and some cottages
were erected.
However, the principal attrac-
ton seems to have been the
camp meeting grounds, which
were located in the vicinity Of
the present canal bridge near
the principal approach to pres
ent-day Rehoboth Beach.

emily brought all their neces-
sites with them and were
