Above drawing depicts the new and modem six-story building of Ames and Brownley’s Department Store which will greatly add to the appear ance of Norfolk’s business section as well as the ability, of the concern to better serve its ever-increasing number of customers. The new home is expected to be finished early in 1939. FHA Lends Money For Water System Considerable activity in the mod ernization of summer cottages by the installation of an automatic pumping system and modem plumb ing is reported by plumbing contrac tors in the resort regions, says the Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau. Improvements in summer cottages are eligible for loans under Title I of the National Housing Act. The drilling of the well may be included in the loan as well as the entire pip ing system. If there is a well on the property, the first step in bringing the con venience of running water to the summer cottage is the installation of an electric pumping system. Electric pumps are sold completely equipped with a pressure tank and the controls which automatically start and stop the pump. In selecting a pump, it is desirable to give preference to a unit made by a well-known manufacturer. Exper ienced pump dealers can be depended upon to advise the owner in the se lection of a pump either of the shal low well or deep well type with ade quate capacity for the water require ments. Complete units of bath, lavatory and closet, especially designed for summer home requirements, are avail* able together with the necessary ac cessories and fittings.

VICE ASKS HELP IN FIGHT FOR DECENCY AFTER twenty-five years as head of the famed .New Vork Society ■ for the Suppression of Vice, John S. Sumner “sums up” in an . article in the August issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine by ad mitting that "While organized societies such as ours can do their part, the fight is really a public fight—it is every decent person’s responsi bility. In the last analysis the public, and the. public conscience, will decide what kind of civilization ours is to be.’* During his many years of labor,<3 circumstances have not changed to help in the fight for decency, says Sumner. On the contrary, “In for mer generations a child brought • up In the average home of the day was not easily led into derelic tions. Children and parents alike sought and found their entertain ment tor leisure hours in their homes or in the homes of friends. There did not then exist the mas sive volume of commercialised dis tractions with' their flamboyant and seductive advertising which now try to take the pennies from the child and the dollars from the night-club habitue. “But more important, our pres ent-day situation is aggravated by the economic depression. Millions are unemployed. Normally nice people out of work sometimes take chances with the law in an ' effort to make what they are told Idle and desperate, he to not un likely to seek any way by which to earn a few dollars, even though that way borders on Ille gality and may land him In jail. Thus tt to true that the flood of salacious material has increased rather than otherwise.” What to doT In his article, the warrjoj: for 4<*ency. recommend? • Quite Natural An Atchison man is worried about [his daughter. She spends her even THE CHOWAN) HERALD, EDENTON, N. C. 9 1 ■* • that “We must guide our children. And the guided will follow only If they trust the guide. The child must .have respect for our tastes and opinions, bid you ever hear your very young daughter settle an argument with a playmate by saying with great emphasis, T know it’s so because my mother told me’? Then you may be sure you have established a relation ship which is priceless. The time will come when your child must realize that you are not infallible;! but that won’t matter because by., then she will know that no one possesses all knowledge. 1 “But If you want, the bond of affection between you and your., child, you must be honest. I don’t believe in giving children fables of the stork. 1 am against Indecency not against truth. Answer truthfully the questions about birth which your child sometimes puts to you at a sur* prisingly early age. If a child’s curiosity on this momentous sub ject is not satisfied at home, be will go outside to get information —or rather, misinformation.” i As an observer can readily un derstand, life for the head of the Society for the Suppression of Vice has been no bed of roses. On endless occasions he has been car-j tooned, lampooned, sued for false arrest and made the butt of cruel jokes. He is called the original “old Fogey”.... but that seems to matter little to him. “1 fight the dope of the mind.

The new Ames & | Brownley Home, which will be ready for occupancy early in 1939, repre sents an investment conservatively estimated to be around a half mil : lion dollars. Mr. D. Baker Ames, | president of Ames & Brownley, states that he feels it is more economical for | stores, as well as individuals, to own | their own homes. The new building, which is being ; constructed of architectural concrete, j will have six floors, giving one and a i half times more space than in the | present building. Three large pylons I of glass brick which will begin above i the marquee on the front, and extend to the parapet, will give the building a strictly modern appearance, and also furnish light for the floors. Glass-brick pylons will also decorate the rear of the building. A marquee extends the full width of the building across the front above the show win- I dows which will be faced with hand s some polished granite. | EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA] VeS NORFOLK AMES & BROWNLEY Where It Costs No More to Get the Best \Y^OMEN of Hyde, Washington, Dare, Tyrrell and other east ern counties, Ames & Brownley’s extends to you a personal invitation to make this store your shopping headquarters... especially if you have a flare for fashion and a taste for, good things.

Substantial of Kenwood Blan- I ;") kets, fine Fur Coats If 0 and Floor Coverings /f during August. An outstanding feature of the new Ames & Brownley Home will be the year-round air-conditioning, instead of the usual summer-air-conditioning. This means that ideal, comfortable climatic conditions will be maintain ed within the building both winter and‘summer, eliminating the exces sive dryness of winter heating sys tems and humid summer heat. There will be complete automatic changes of air on each floor constantly regu lated by the number of people pres ent on each floor. In addition to the present depart ments, Ames & Brownley will have in their new home a large restaurant located on the sixth floor; fur stor age vaults'; a complete furniture de partment; larger children’s depart ments; and a more complete Beauty Salon offering in addition to present services, body-contour-control. The first floor of the new building , will house practically the same de : partments as are on the first floor of i the present Ames & Brownley’s, i Some of the departments will, how [ ever, be considerably enlarged, and : the main aisles will be very wide. I The second floor will have an enlarged . electrical department in addition to ! piece goods, linens, domestics, cus ! tomers’ rest rooms, and a photo ; graphic studio. The third floor will ■ include Beauty Salon and Body-Con • tour Room; Budget Shops and chi ldren's departments. The entire fifth floor will be devoted to a very com plete furniture and interior decorat ing department. On the sixth floor will be located a large restaurant and tea room with private dining room, a special-public events room, a powder room, and a fur storage vault with a capacity for more than 3,000 fur coats. C. A. Neff, of Norfolk, Virginia, is building architect; Carl J. Lindeman, Norfolk, Virginia, is building con tractor; and the interior is being planned by C. A. Wheeler, noted Chicago Department Store Interior Designer. mim _____________' ' Norfolk Greets the Albemarle Area t (Continued From Page One) was better known as the Confederate ram “Merrimac,” the first iron-clad warship ever to go in action, and the dry docks were the first to be con structed by the federal government. Norfolk as a trading and shopping center is on par with any of the Eastern cities. Its stores are mod ern and merchants progressive. In no city in Virginia will be found more ideal shopping conditions than in Norfolk. With its strong finan cial institutions, its port, fine home life and living conditions, splendid climate, accessible to the beaches, only a night’s journey from the na tional capital, and in the center of one of the richest truck-farming, fishing, and farming sections of Eastern America, bids sellers and buyers to come and trade with its merchants.
