NEW ORLEANS. - Everyone
knows about this city at Mardi
Gras time, but If the Orleans
Levee Board has its way, New
Orleans soon will become q
fashionable summer resort.
Just north of the city lies
Lake Pontchartrain, a Go
square mile lake bordered on
the west by lovely beaches and
a half-mile long Midway. This
amusement center is complete
with roller coaster, open air
restaurants, an outdoor stage
with nightly entertainment
and an ultramodern swimming
pool.
In sharp contrast to this pic
turesque resort, however, is the
east lakefront where low-lying
shores present an ugly picture
of marsh grass, weeds, and
stilted camps and walkways
that jut into the lake. A wide
ditch, where man-size weeds
grow out of stagnant water
amid q litter of cans, bottles,
boxes and other trash, covers
the area between the main
highway and the lake.
To remedy the situation, the
Orleans Levee Board, headed
by Attorney Gerald Calling

grounds with city facilities for
outdoor sports and a large calm

Second Marina
The basin, desperately needed
to relieve the present over
crowded boating and fishing
facilities, will provide an ideal
site for another large marina.
Power-boat racing, rowing, ski
ing and other water sports are
very popular In this area where
golf clubs never have to be
stored and water sports are in
season IL months q year.
The present New Orleans
Marina and yacht basin is the
second Oldest in the Unite d
States and annually stages a
three-day yacht regatta during
Sugar Bowl week, the last days
Of December. First organized
in 1884, the regatta now draws
visitors and competitors from
all over the Country.
And of course, the brightest
attraction this area offers -
one that no other resort area
can top - is the night life.

VIRGINIA BEACH.-Tourist
business in the Borough o.
Virginia Beach may double be.
tween now and 1875.
This IS the estimate of FIJI,
Newsome, economist with the
Virginia Beach Planning Com.
mission who has Just com.
pleted q study Of the ocear
front area between Fl. Story
and Camp Pendleton. This In.
cludes both the hotel mote.
area In the Borough Of Vir.
ginia Beach as well as residen-
tial North Virginia Beach.
Planning Director F. Mason
Carnage said that the tourist
boom In the next IL years may
line the west side of Atlantic
avenue with swank motels. The
present Virginia Beach Bor-
ough has $500 class-A hotel
and motel rooms. BY 1875 there
will be q need for 1909 new
first-claSs rooms. Tourist ex-
penditures may go from the
current 1882 million to an es-
timated $2l million by that
year.
Along the oceanfront in the
present Borough Of Virgins
Beach, the older wooden hotels
and cottages are being replaced
by modern high rise motels
This trend is expected to con-
tinue. Within 10 years, the
study estimates, there will be
need for new motel property
in an area other than along
the oceanfront.
The predicted area will be
the one-block- wide strip be-
tween Atlantic and Pacific ave.
nues. The ground floors OF the
future motels will be giver
over to parking and to retail
stores. The second floors will
be connected with the water
front by pedestrian ramps
bridging Atlantic avenue. At
lantic avenue itself may BIZ

The residential area north
Of Forty-ninth street, the
boundary line for the Virgins

retain Its present characters

so. In this area, Holly road
which is not now cut through
may be developed In the next

ing load Of traffic now routed

Visitors Find
Snow Hill Is
Rich in History

OCEAN CITY, Md. - Va
cationing children, and their
parents as well, can easily and
painlessly absorb a good deal
of local history If they know
where to look.
Ocean City is in Worcester
County and the county seat
is Snow Hill, a charming place
well worth visiting.
Drive west on Route so for
about seven miles, then turn
left on Route 113, through roll
ing farmland rich in orchards
and such crops as soy beans,
tomatoes, peppers and corn.
Snow Hill was founded by
English settlers in 1912 and re-
ceived its charter in 1886,
Later. in 1898, it was made a
port Of entry by John Sey-
mour, Royal Governor of Ma
ryland.
Exported Iron
The town did q thriving
business in the export of lum-
Der and bog iron ore which was
taken from the Nassawango
Creek. The chief imports were
rum, sugar and molasses. The
settlers must have been fond
of their toddys.
The houses In Snow Hill sit
well back from the street and
are surrounded by colorful
gardens, shrubs and trees. On
Main street you will. find lovely
old All Hallows Episcopal
Church, which was completed
in 1855. The brick in the
church was brought from Eng
land and the ivy covering the
walls is from Kenilworth castle
in Scotland. A Bible dated 1701,
presented by Queen Anne to
All Hallows Parish, is on view.
We were talking to Mrs.
Harry Covington, who spent
her girlhood in Snow Hill. She
gave us q bit Of information,
which we found not only in
teresting but timely.
Trip to Assateague
She remembers taking trips
to Assateague Island as q girl.
There was q large house there
known as Capt. William SCOTS
Hotel. I'VE would get UP par
ties" Mrs. Covington recalls.
"as many as twenty people,
and rent the hotel. We sailed
across Chincoteague Bay in
Sloops whose hulls were made
of followed out logs. We took
our servants and provisions
and stayed at the beach for
a week of two"
We like to picture the land
ing Of those sloops, the ladies
in their long skirts and high
collared shirtwaists, complete
with hats and wells. There was
no sun worship In those days.
An OK cart would meet the
sloop and haul the mountains
of luggage across the sand to
SCOTS Hotel.

ton. I suppose it stands out

lations between the new
Republic of Somalia, founded
in 1860, and Britain have been
broken of because Britain de-
clines to use its remaining
authority in Kenya to surren-
der large portion of Kenyan
territory just in advance Of the
Kenya Africans obtaining full
internal self-government.
The flag of the Somali
Republic has five stars to rep
resent the five portions OF the
Somali homeland" Two bf
these portions only, the former
British protectorate of Soma
liland and the former Italian
trusteeship territory of
Somalia, constitute the present
republic.
There remain, in the view
OF the Somalis, who are Mos
lem Arabs, three more stars
to be gathered in - French
Somahland, Ethiopian Somali-
land (the Ogaden and the
Haud), and the Northern From
tier District of Kenya.
The Somalis came to what
is now Kenya at the same time
as the British. The attitude of
the Kenya Africans to the two
is identical - they can either
stay or 60 back home as they
please once Kenya is 1nde-
pendent. But there is a diff
ference between the circum-
stances of British and Somalis.
In the lush highlands which
they farmed the British were
never in numerical major
ity; in the barren desert which
they traverse as nomads the
Somalis are the majority, and
in a large slice of the Northern
Frontier District, which has
just been made into the sew
enth region of Kenya, they
form 100 percent of the sparse
population.
AS a nation the Somalis are
much more homogeneous than
either Ethiopia or Kenya,
which are both more or less
arbitrary bundles Of ethnic
groups. II the principle of
ethnic homogeneity came to be
accepted on the African CONT
nent it would break up most of
the existing states. For this
reason Somalia does not have
much support in Pan-African
circles, despite assistance from
Communist propaganda.
The Somali nomads in Kenya
are tightly organized in the
Northern Province Peoples
Progressive Party (the NPPPP)
led by Wakhoa Happi. Rather
to the annoyance OF several
speakers IN the Somali National
Assembly, the NPPPP has been
calling not for immediate
merger with Somalia but for
immediate separation from
kenya followed by the estab-
Jackson advocate., 1963-04-20

Hshment Of autonomous lnsu-
tutions under British trustee
ship until the province is ready
to negotiate union with
Somaia as a separate unit.
According to the Mogadishu
Somalis, this was tacticaily un-
sound, since 1t would open the
way for the British to suggest
compromise that would bar
the way to eventual merger
with Somalia.
In sense this is what has
happened. The Somalis'
strongest argument where the
British are concerned is that
under British rule a security
curtain separated the Somali
and African sections of Kenya
while there was complete free
dom Of movement across the
Somali-Kenya border. 1t would
therefore be a new departure,
not a continuation of existing
policy, for the Northern
Province to be governed as an
ordinary part of Kenya.
The British solution has been
to partition the Northern
Province and make. a semi
autonomous region out of the
northeastern section which is
almost exclusively populated
by Somalis. The British have
also promised that this is only
1an interim arrangement; the
Nfinal decision about the future
Of Kenya's Somali desert will
be made before Kenya's inde-
pendence but after Kenya
acquires a fully African Gov
ernment.
This compromise looks on
the surface not unlike Wakho
Happi's original demand. But
the Somalis object strongly to
the partition, saying that as
they are in an 80 to 80 percent
majority in the whole province
they are entitled to it all.
They also declare that once
the Kenya Africans have full
internal self-government. Brit
ain, will have, in fact, though
perhaps not in law, abdicated
the power to meet Somalia's
claims. :
