MAGAZINE ARTICLE .
PICTURE FAMILIAR
Nags Head.—The current issue
of Life magazine proved of unus
ual interest to readers here because
it carried an article illustrated by
photographs, some of them taken
here.
The article was the second in a
series on “The World We Live In.”
This article was entitled “Miracle
of the Sea.”
Pictures were taken by Fritz
Goro, who was on the beach some
months ago. One of the pictures,
in color, shows the sharp line main
tained between blue and green wa
ter where the Gulf Stream meets
the ocean. In the picture, the shad
ow of the blimp from Elizabeth
City, in which Goro flew, lies across
the meeting of blue and green wat
er.
BUSINESS FORCES
DANIELS TO ADD
TO NEW BUILDING
Supply Firm Also Busy With
Construction Activities on
Beach, Roanoke Island
Nags Head.—One of the newer
businesses to be established on the
beach is the Daniels Building Sup
ply, located across the road and
near the Shriners club. It is oper
ated by Llewellyn Daniels and
Ward Daniels, brothers-in-law, and
their nephew, Willie Daniels, all of
Wanchese. Between them they
have something like 50 years of
building experience.
Since they opened the business
last October ,it has grown so much
that recently they had to add to
the building to allow for expan
sion.
Besides carrying a full line of
building supplies, they are con
tractors, who not only erect the
house, but do the wiring and
plumbing, or, as Ward Daniels ex
plains, “from the roof to the sep-F
tic tank.”
Buildings they have erected are
dotted all along the beach, from
Southern Shores to Oregon Inlet,
and on Roanoke Island from Wan
chese to Fort Raeilgh City.
Among the work they are doing
are two houses on Roanoke Island.
One is for Hugh Tillett, at Wan
chese. It is a two-bedroom frame
cottage, which will be completed
in a couple of weeks.
The other is a cottage facing
the sound, at Fort Raleigh Citjy,
for Miss Elizabeth Welch of Win
ston-Salem. This also is a tw/b
--bedroom home with living room,
kitchen and bath. It is of frame
construction.
On the beach, the Daniels are
erecting two apartments for H. L.
Warren of Whaleyville, Va. Locat
ed on Lakeside avenue, they are of
frame construction with built up
roofs and attached garages. Mr.
Warren plans to occupy one and
rent the other.
Not far away, on Highway 158,
the firm is building an addition to
a cottage owned by Dal H. Wil
liams of Elizabeth City. The addi
tion consists of a double garage,
attached to the house, with a large
bedroom above.
Farther, up >the beach, they are
remodeling a cottage for Dr. W.
W. Johnston of Manteo. He bought
the old wartimehospital at the Kit
ty Hawk Coast Guard station, now
inactive. Dr. Johnston is having it
completely remodeled, to provide a
living room, kitchen, three bed
rooms and two baths.
For W. H. Cartwright of South
Mills, the Daniels firm has com
pleted a two story building around
the curve toward the Currituck
Sound bridge, near Journey’s End.
The lower floor will be used for a
store, with space provided for a
utility room and storage space.
Above is an apartment with living
room, kitchen, two bedrooms and
bath, which Mr. Cartwright plans
to occupy with his family. He also
will operate the store.
Near the store he is preparing
to have two 14x40 units, each of
which will include two apartments.
These, like the store building, will
be of frame construction .
The Daniels have almost com
pleted the 20-unit motor court they
have built for Archie Burrus of j
Manteo. It is located on the ocean ,
side of Highway 158, in the Nags
Head area. These are brick veneer 1
buildings.
Mr. and Mrs. T .H. Erickson of f
Kill Devil Hills have been the
guests of their son-in-latv and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. i
Gregory, several days this week. ]

THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO, N. C.
MYSTERIOUS BLAST
OF HEAT ALARMS
Colington. Was it restless
spirits whose presence so start
led four Colington youths, as
they were walking home Mon
day night? Or could there be
some ordinary, commonplace ex
planation of their experience?
The youths aren’t very eager
to investigate further.
Vernon Perry, Dave Williams,
Bobby Gaimel and Bobby Meek
ins were walking along the road,
when they felt a blast of hot air
strike their legs. It did not rise
higher than their knees. The hot
wind continued for a space of
about 25 feet, but the boys got
away from there, but quick.
BANKS ELOPEMENT
IN 1933 RECALLED
BY ANNIVERSARY
Colington. Two anniversaries
will be celebrated by the Walter
Williams family this month. Feb.
24 will be Mr. and Mrs. Williams’
20th wedding anniversary and the
following day will be the fifteenth
birthday of their son, Walter Da
vid.
The wedding anniversary observ
ance will be calm, compared to
the excitement of Mr. and Mrs.
Williams’ elopement. Miss Madeline
Quidley of Avon before her mar
riage, her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Quidley, vigorously oppos
ed the Colington man’s attentions.
To have dates with him, the young
lady met him at the home of her
grandmother or the home of Wil
liams’ cousin.
Piece by piece, she slipped out
enough clothing to the homes of
friends so that she could leave.
Then on Feb. 24, 1933, the two of
them set out for Hatteras, accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Saunders
Gray. They were followed there by
the Rev. A. W. Price of Avon, who
married them at the home of Dr.
Kinfield. Although they had told
the Rev. Mr. Price he should per
form the ceremony, they were
afraid to tell him their plans for
fear the bride’s parents would get
wind of them. However, the min
ister heard about it and followed
them. When they heard him, they
were sure it was Mr. Quidley.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Quidley
did hear the secret and went to
Hatteras, arriving after the wed
ding. He invited them home, but
the bridegroom’s pride was offend
ed and he would not go. However,
when Mr. and Mrs. Williams start
ed to Colington next day by the
mail boat, Mr. Quidley was at the
landing with his daughter’s clothes
that she had left at home. A week
later the happy pair went to Col
ington, to be received with open
arms by both Mr. and Mrs. Quid
ley.
It was in Colington that the
couple met. Madeline Quidley and
Selma Peterson, on their way to
Norfolk, Va., spent the night with
the latter’s grandmother, the late
Mrs. Lavina Perry, and at her
house the Avon girl met her fu
ture husband. At that time he was
a fisherman, but he now is a car
penter.
After three years in Colington,
they went to Avon to live. In an
other three years they returned .to
Colington.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams have
four children, Ernest, David, Jan
ice and Christine.
