Swank Coral Bay Club , Pool Brightens Bogue Banks
By BOB 8EYMOUK
The swank Coral Bay Club, located west of Atlantic
Beach, is the realization of a three-year program by a
group of men and women interested in the growth of
this beach area.
Club president H. W. Anderson, Wilson and More
head City, says that as long ago as 1955 a few summer
residents began to see the .need- of a new private club
in this area. Last summer several meetings were held '
to .see how much interest there was in such a club.
If was decided that if 100 persons showed enough ip- ?
tert-st to join, the club would be organized. The mem
bership goal was reached easily and work began on the
luxurious club house this spring.
The building was put up on property bought from the
Willis Smith estate, extending from the ocean to Bogue
Sound. The property has a frontage of 582 feet on the
ocean and 250 feet on the sound.
The club house was completed and ready for opening
on June 14. Some work is still being done on the
grounds but most of the construction is completed. Total
cost of property and construction is expected to run
about $;?oo,ooo.
On the sound side, a four-foot channel has been
dredged into Hoop Pole Creek where a small boat basin :
has been built. A pier and fuel station have been com
pleted and are now in use.
The area between the Salter Path Road and the boat
basin has been jriaded and made into parKing space lor
ca>'s and boat trailers.
On the ocean side is the club house, living quarters
for the club manager and a swimming pool. Tne club
house is built around a huge central lounge.
The west end of the building is devoted to a game
room and snack bar for children and teen-agers. The
east end contains an elaborate bar and private dining
rooms including the Coral Room.
The swimming pool, according to Mr. Anderson, has
proved more popular than the beach for swimming.
Life guards are on duty both places while the club is
open. A sea wall separates the beach from the rest of
the property.
All the land from the sea wall to the Salter Path
Road has been paved or grassed. Several thousand
yards of soil were hauled in to cover the sand and give
the grass a foothold.
The elul> is going full-swing now with 160 members
enjoying the facilities available. Membership privileges
go to the immediate family of each member.
Present membership limit is 200. Mr. Anderson savs
that number will be a "comfortable" limit. "This club
would defeat its own purpose if it got too crowded,"
he declares.
Each member must be passed on by a secrct member
ship committee. The initiation fee is reportedly $1,500
with yearly dues of $150. '
At present the plans call for the club to operate from
June 1 through the Labor Day weekend. The club will
not be open at any time during the winter. A watchman
will live at the club year-round.
Club rules permit house guests of members to obtain
cards giving them access to the club facilities. The total
number of times a resident of North Carolina can visit
the club with a member is three annually. That figure
holds good for county residents as well as up-state
visitors.
Officers and directors of the club are Mr. Anderson,
president; Mrs. E. M. Cameron, Durham, vice-president
and treasurer; James M. Poyner, Raleigh, secretary;
Alban Barrus and Leo Harvey, Kinston; Edwin Pate,
Laurinourg; Willie York, Raleigh; W. E. Barnes and
Mrs. D. W. Woodard, Wilson; James S. Flcklen Jr.,
Greenville; Dr. Sam McPherson, Durham; Robert M.
Hanes, Winston-Salem; Alton Bland, Charlotte; Ray
mond Bryan, Goldsboro; and W. G. Clark, Tarboro.
The club manager is Herschel Caldwell, an assistant
football coach at Duke. The club employs about 30 lo
cal people during the season.
The Cora! Bay Club has hit the peak of its season. Well over 100
persons sit under umbrellas around the pool or enjoy the water.

Honolulu City Planners
Run Out of Street Names
Honolulu (AP) ? ?. ity planners
are hard put to find names for
new streets in Honolulu.
In the past, Hawaiian names
have been used but most of these
have already been used up. Worse
yet, dangers lurk in trying to com
bine English and Hawaiian words.
Said one city planner: "In work
ing out new names, we've actually
come up with some immoral words
without knowing it."

too many women earn lesa than
men for limilar work la that they
are willing to accept lesa, accord
ing to EcMwoica Professor Bead
Richardson of the University of
Utah.
He slid this is because their
earnings only supplement the fam

men are not permanent job-holders
also contributes to inequitable pay

Magazine Publisher Adds
Mobile Airport to List
Mobile, Ala. (AP> ? Wayne Par
rish of Washington, D. C., pub
lisher of various aviation maga
zines, recently "collected" the
Mobile municipal airport.
It's a hobby with the publisher
to touch down on as many airports
as he can and thus add each one
to his "collection." He estimates
he's collected between 550 and 600
airports in the United States and
about 75 foreign countries so far.
He doesn't have too many more
to go in this country, either.
Diamond Jim Brady, famous
Broadwayite of the 1890's, was an
ardent suitor of stage star Lillian
Russell. He had candles especially
fashioned in the likeness of Miss
Russell to light his banquet tables.
