Edited by MISS SARAH HALLIBURTON Kill Devil Hills, N. C. BEACH WARNED OF NEW RULES ON BEER SALE All Advertising Material For bidden; Operators Warned Disorderliness Won’t Be Tolerated Nags Head. How the beach conducts itself this summer will be a detemvning factor in whether or not beer can be sold next year, a state representative told a gathering of persons sell ing beer, meeting at the Casino last week. If those who sell beer can op erate their business in an order ly fashion, there will be less ob jection to it, the gathering was warned. Even one incident of disorder tracable to sale of beer will be a black mark against the beach and will tend to bring about complete prohibition of the sale. A new law concerning sale of beer will go into effect July 11. After that, the selling of beer must be made as inconspicuous as possible. No posters or signs advertising beer may be sold. Menu covers, ash trays, service trays or mirrors with the word beer or the name of a beer pro duct on them may not be used. One bottle or can of each brand sold may be displayed on shel ves. Outside the place of busi ness, one sign may be used show ing the beer permit number, but the letters on it may not be more than five inches high. Every place selling beer must have a store room in which to keep it out of sight, or, lacking that, the bottles or cans must be kept under canvas. Empties must also be kept out of sight. All of these regulations, the beach dealers were told, are de signed to discourage disorderli ness and remove the principal ob jections raised to the sale of beer. The operators of places selling beer, either to drink on the premises or to take out, were warned that the new law would be strictly enforced. Unless the vessel is clean, whatever you pour into it turns sour.
