^Southern ideal home show is scheduled
*' Raleigh? In the 1900's, our homes
'are truly becoming our castles. Not
just a place to hang our hat, home is
now a recreation center, an enter
tainment spot and site for gourmet
dining? in an attractive, comfortable
setting that's becoming increasingly
sophisticated in its time-saving and
money-saving features.
Problem is, it's tough shopping for
all these practical new items and de
lightful pleasures for the home. Trav
eling all over the place trying to find
just the right product or to compari
son shop takes a lot of time-some
thing today's busy home owners
don't have much of.
There is a solution: The second an
nual SOUTHERN IDEAL HOME
SHOW scheduled for Thursday, Sept.
24, to Sunday, Sept. 27, in the Graham
Building at the N.C. State
Fairgrounds in Raleigh.
The show is produced by Southern
Shows, Inc., a 28-year old manage
ment firm based in Charlotte. Spon
son are the Home Builders Associa
tion of Raleigh and Wake County and
WRAL-TV5.
With more than 300 booths encom
passing almost everything for the
home, the show will provide visitors
the chance to see and buy everything
that's new and exciting in home prod
ucts and services, talk directly with
experts, see and touch the products,
comparison shop and gain new
ideas? all under one roof.
"Whether visitors are planning to
buy, build, add-on, remodel, redeco
rate, refurnish or spruce up their
home, they'll find help at the show,
and they won't have to trek all over
town," said show manager C.B. Ty
son.
"We're offering a broad, cost-ef
fective range of servics and prod
ucts, from the practical to the whim
sical," Tyson added. "Making your
home look good makes you feel good,
and you'll be able to accomplish that
sometimes and always easily -at the
show."
Now in its second year, the
SOUTHERN IDEAL HOME SHOW
proved so successful in its debut run
that it has already grown dramati
cally. According to Tyson, the size
has expanded by 20 percent and an
outdoor exhibit area has been added.
There's been a 25 percent increase in
the number of exhibitors, greatly ex
panding the scope of the show. Last
year's attendance was 24,000 and it's
anticipated that number will in
crease.
Visitors will see an array of prod
ucts and services, including kitchen
cabinetry, bathroom accessories,
spas and whirlpools, the latest in Eu
ropean design, furniture, flooring
and carpeting, interior design, home
security systems, landscape serv
ices, patios and decks, windows, fi
nancing and insurance.
There will also be a (tollhouse com
petition, a brick-laying contest, free
interior design consultations and
fully-constructed modular homes.
For do-it-yourselfers, there'll be how
to clinics held throughout every day
of the show.
Plus, visitors will have the chance
to register for a multitude of free
prizes, such as vacations, a garage
and playground equipment. WRAL
TV5 and Whitley Galleries will be
giving away a roomful of living room
furniture and accessories valued
around $10,000. WRAL's 'Live at
Noon' will broadcast live from the
show, and 'PM Magazine' will be tap
ing so visitors will have several op
portunities to be part of a TV audi
ence.
Show tickets are $4 for adults and
$2 for students, aged 6 to 18. Children
under 6 are free.

New exhibits to
open at the museum
Elizabeth City, NC-The Museum
of the Albemarle is pleased to an
nounce the opening of the exhibition
"Decoys Unlimited" on August 30,
1987. This exhibition features decoys
of ducks, geese, swans and shore
birds and highlights the influence of
the area's sounds. Because of the
proximity to the rivers, sounds and
other waterways that are natural
habitat for all kinds of waterfowl, we
feel that this exhibit will be partic
ularly well received by all decoy col
lectors, wildfowl hunters, as well as
the general public.
The exhibit will trace the rich his
tory of decoys and the sport of hunt
ing. Few realize that decoys are an
American art form originated with
Native American Indians. The tradi
tion has been long and strong and we
will feature many local carvers in
cluding works by Alvirah Wright,
Ned Burgess, Joe Hayman, Bob
Morse and those made by the Jen
nette, Styron, Midgette and Tillett
families. In addition to the history of
decoys, the topics of bunt clubs and
market gunning will also be ex
plored. A punt gun and a sink box on
loan from the Currituck Wildlife
Guild will be of particular interest. A
variety of decoys made of wood, can
vas, cast iron and tin will also be on
display. Learn about "confidence"
decoys, wing ducks, live decoys and
factory decoys. Many private collec
tors have lent the Museum outstand
ing decoy examples for this show.
The exhibit will continue on display
through January 10, 1968. During the
length of the show, many programs
on market gunning, hunt clubs as
well as a decoy identification will be
held. Interested collectors will also
want to participate at the Currituck
Wildlife Show September 19th and
20th.
The Museum of the Albemarle is
located on Hwy. 17 South and is
FREE and open to the public Tues
day through Saturday from 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 2:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
"Blessings of Liberty"
to open at local museum
Elizabeth City, NC? The Museum
of the Albemarle is pleased to an
nounce the opening of its newest exhi
bition "The Blessings of Liberty" a
display in honor of the Bicentennial
of the U.S. Constitution. The exhibit
has been officially recognized by the
Commission on the Bicentennial of
the United States Constitution and
tells the story of the U. S. Constitu
tion in 12 posters. Topics included are
the Articles of Confederation; the
Constitutional Convention; the Bill of
Rights; and the meaning of the Su
preme Law of the Land.
The title of the exhibit "The Bles
sings of Liberty" is taken from the
preamble of the Constitution and
echoe the conviction that America
should have a written constitution.
Americans indeed are priviledged to
have the oldest working constitution
in existence, a document that has
been a model for other countries.
This exhibit will remain on display
through early November, 1967 and
will become available for school
groups to display throughout the
schools over the next year to two
years, as we continue to celebrate the
bicentennial of this important docu
ment.
The Museum will also be involved
with the city-wide celebration on Sep
tember 19th. Finally, Barbara Taylor
will be the first speaker for a five
part lecture series for teacher's rene
wal credit on the Constitution. Those
wishing further information should
contact Lillie Perry with the school
system to register.
The Museum of the Albemarle is
located on Hwy. 17 South and is
FREE and open to the public Tues
day through Saturday from 9:00 a.m.
to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday from 2:00
p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more informa
tion concerning the Museum's pro
grams call 335-1453 or 335-2987.
The Museum of the Albemarle is
searching for enthusiastic men and
women to become docents (a term
from latin meaning "to teach").
Docents give tours at the Museum
and sometimes take educational pro
grams into the classroom or to other
groups. They are indispensable to the
Museum's educational programs de
signed for people of all ages.
Training will begin on September
21 this year and will continue on Mon
days, Wednesdays, and Fridays until
October 2nd. Participants will re

people to serve as docents

ing, the general history of the Albe
marle region, and various aspects of
the region such as the Coast Guard,
decoy production and hunting, lum
bering and archaeology. Continuing
education is made possible through a
monthly meeting, and accessibility
to the Museum's library and tape col
lection.
Those wanting to volunteer their
time should be interested in history,
particularly the history of the Albe
marle region.

WHO NEEDS SUNGLASSES?
It would b? safe to say that nearly everyone could benefit from
wearing sunglasses at some time during the course of their normal
activities. Driving in the morning or late afternoon, working out
side, reading at the beach or poolside, are among the many activ
ities that expose the individual to glare and the potentially harmful
doses of bright sunlight.
While the sun is, indeed, the source of all life, taken too
strongly it can also have negative effects on your vision. Th sun
contains both ultra-violet and infra-red rays, safe under MOST see
ing conditions. However, day-long exposure to these rays may
cause minor eye irritation; and prolonged exposure over on ex
tended period may result in more serious eye damage.
Not all sunglasses protect against both these rays; and not all
sunglasses meeting government impact-resistance standards are
shatterproof or unbreakable. So, for advice on suitable quality sun
glasses, consult your eye-care specialist.
