THE COASTLAND TIMES, MANTEO. N. C. FIRST BEACH FASHION SHOW EARNS GUESTS’ APPROVAL Nags Head. This beach’s first fashion show, held Satur day under auspices of the Roa noke Island Music Club, proved so popular that the four parti cipating beachwear shops plan to repeat it next year. The event was held at the Caroliniian ho _fel, in connection with a lunch eon in the Driftwood and Dog wood dining rooms. With Trafton Robertson of a Norfolk radio and TV station as master of ceremonies, local mo dels showed the last word in beachwear, as offered by the Beach Mart, Gray’s Gifts and Beach Accessories, Nags Head Sportswear and Trott’s Sports wear. As Mr. Robertson describ ed the fashions and introduced the models, Mrs. Wallace F. Mus tian of Kill Devil Hills supplied background organ music. Models were Miss Maggie Dan iels, Miss Elva Rae Mann, Miss Shirley West, Mrs. Bette Thomp son, Mrs. Stanley Tillett, Miss Jeanette Tillett, Mrs. Sarah Berry, Miss Molly Fearing, Mrs. Dot Frye, Miss Tracy Midgette, Miss Pat Everton, Miss Audrey Keene, Mrs. Bemie Griggs, Judy Utz, Diana Ward, Susan Oneta, Griffin, Knox Crutchfield, Jack Marshall, Leslie Tillett, Jan Oneta, Walter Gray, Jr., and Larry Gray. After the style show, Mr. Robertson introduced Ernest Beale, Mrs. Walter Gray, Mrs. H. E. Bowen and Mrs. Margaret Coville of the four participating beachwear shops. He also pre sented Mrs. Lucille Purser and Julian Oneto of the Carolinian, who made many of the prepara tions for the style show. The fashions presented a de finite trend to femininity in beachwear for girls and women, in such features as soft shirring, hour glass silhouettes, fitted robes and tiny skirts on bathing CO-OPS AHEAD ON PAYMENTS AGAINST LOANS North Carolina REA Manag ers, Accountants Conclude Convention Sessions Nags Head. Representatives of most of the 32 North Carolina REA cooperatives concluded their three-day convention at the Carolinian Tuesday noon, after discussions of rural electrication financing and other business problems. The association, made up of managers and accountants of the cooperatives, elected Rudolph Sexton of Tarboro chairman to succeed David Moss of Red Springs and Mrs. Alda Womack of Rutherfordton was made sec retary to succeed Mrs. Barbara Deverick of the Blue Ridge cooperative. Among speakers was D.Philli pi of Washington, D. C., an REA representative, who talked Monday afternoon on proposed changes in procedure and contin uing property records. Another REA man to speak was William R. Shertzer, general field repre sentative, whose subject was “Employer and Employee Rela tions.” Mr. Sexton, Mrs. Dever ick, John Morton of Jacksonville and Mrs. Womack, William T. Crisp, Jack Parton and Miss Mil dred Sloan were other speakers. A question and answer discus sion of work orders and material accounting was led by a panel which included J. J. Hart, Reid Harris and Mrs. Eloise Scull. In discussing REA develop ment, outside the convention, Mr. Shertzer pointed out that of the money borrowed from REA by locally owned cooperatives, less than two-thirds of 1 per cent was in default. Not a single North Carolina REA cooperative is in default and many are paying off their loans faster than is requir ed. One, he said, paid off its $270,000 loan 17 years ahead of schedule. Mr. Shertzer said that of every dollar spent to bring electric power to rural areas, the con sumer spends $4.50 for electrical appliances. Since the cost is around $450 for each consumer, that would mean that consumers averaged spending more than $2,000 each on appliances. Rural electrification has raised the standard of living in rural areas and at the same time bene fited town business, Mr. Schert zer asserted. DISHES ARE BOUGHT BY P-TA MEMBERSHIP Kitty Hawk. When school starts next September, the sup ply of cups and saucers in the lunch room will be more ade quate. This week the Kitty Hawk Parent-Teacher unit bought 50 plain white cups and saucers. These will* be placed in the school, with the understanding that they may be borrowed by the church when needed. Mrs. Herbert Morrison was chairman of the committee which bought the dishes. suits. One of the newest notes in style was a bib’n tucker swim suit. Fabrics were found to vary all the way from gold metallic cloth to terry cloth for bathing suits. Sail cloth toggle jackets with pedal pushers, bra, hat and bag to match, vied in interest with dainty twilight hour dress es, Bermuda shorts with checked blouse, wrap around skirts over shorts, three tiered full skirts, reversible stoles, little boy shorts, walking shorts, and a swim suit that zips up the front. A sweater girl set involved a swim suit with matching sweat er; a toreador outfit included pedal pushers fitted and laced lat the knee and a loose and gaily decorated blouse. Styles included not only be witching modes for the slim young things, but becomingly smart fashions for the more ma ture women. For all, colors were fresh as the wind off the ocean, and garments were fashioned with an eve to the practical. Although the swim suits shown were highly decorative, they were meant to wear in the water as well as lounging on the beach. For the most part, the men’s beachwear styles were designed for sheer comfort, such as twill walking shorts with White terry jacket, silk and prima cotton sports shirts, cabana sets with frantic plaid shorts below a white shirt, or coodinates of slacks, walking shorts, T shirt and beach shoes. Todays beachwear is designed with an eye to a vacation with no work. Many of the fabrics require no ironing, yet have none of the “rough dried” look. By adding a skirt, a. sWim suit be comes a sun dress, or shorts and top turn into a dress suitable for wear almost anywhere. After the style show, pictures were taken for television by a telenews film photographer. BUILDING MOVED FOR REMODELING FOR TOWN HALL Mayor and Commissioners Want to Provide Place Where Public Can Attend Meetings Kill Devil Hills. A workshop ' used by carpenters who built the home of N. B. Hardee on the oceanfront, this spring, has been moved to a site across from Kill Devil Hills postoffice. It was do nated by Mr. Hardee for re modeling as a temporary town hall. Use of the site also was do nated by the Manteo Furniture Co. Decisions about repairing and remodeling the building for use as a temporary meeting place for the Kill Devil Hills mayor and commissioners will await the re turn of the mayor, Maj. J. L. Murphy, who is now in a hospi tal in Washington, D. C. The city administration has maintained that a municipal building was needed, so that the public could attend sessions of the mayor and commissioners, which is not practical in a pri vate home. Although hotels in the community earlier offered use of their dining rooms, they are now occupied until too late for commissioners’ meetings.
