K. D. HILLS' WOMAN
MAYOR STATES VIEWS
Mrs. Emily Mustian, Who Was Recently
-Elected, Invites All To Join in
Building the Town
The following statement by Mrs.
Emily F. Mustian, who was recent
ly elected mayor of Kill Devil
Hills, is published in the public
interest;
“To me has been assigned the
extreme pleasure and duty of
serving the people of Kill Devil
Hills in the capacity of Mayor. I
am very grateful but humble for
this honor. I assure you that I
shall endeavor to perform my
duties as efficiently as possible
and with a keen sense of right and
justice for all. I humbly beg for
the support and cooperation of all
those who supported me and of all
those who opposed me.
‘I would like to briefly outline,
some of the principles for which I
stand; and as long as there is a
town of Kill Devil Hills and as
long as I am Mayor of the town,
I shall exert every effort to dis
charge the duties of my iffice to
the very best of my abilities and
with these principles in mind.
“Kill Devil Hills is a small town,
and it is my personal belief that
it should be run as a small town,
that we should have a minimum of
government operations, that it
should be run as economically as
possible but that we should en
deavor to provide our citizens with
the needed services, which are
within our financial means, and
which the county, state or Federal
government are unable to provide.
“Whenever matters of import
ance are scheduled to be heard in
our town meetings, it is my inten
tion, not only to comply with the
legal regulations regarding notifi
cations of such actions, but I con
sider it my personal and moral
obligation to see that the residents
of the town are made fully aware
of such contemplated actions, even
to the extent of personal notifi
cation by letter, telephone ; per
sona! calls when such matters may
affect them as a prope Ty owns r
or as a citizen of the to.vr.
“Whether or not we are required
to do so by law, I feel that the
town officials should make avail
able to all tax-payers, as full de
tail as possible, of the town’s fi
nancial matters, including budget j
breakdowns.
“Furthermore, it is my desire I
that all meetings of the town be
opened to the public and that the
public be urged to attend and to
freely pass on all suggestions or
grievances, that our government
may be a government for the peo
ple and by the people.”

DAIRY BARN AND FEED LOT .
Milk contains 87% water. Milk production increases 10 to 20% and 6to 12%
more butter-fat is produced, where dairy cattle are supplied with running water.
MILK HOUSE
Running water for washing and sterilizing utensils is a “must” for profitable dairy
production at low cost. Here again, an automatic water system is a money-maker
for you!
HOG HOUSE AND FEED LOT
Farmers increase hog profits by giving pigs free access to running water... brings
pigs to maturity faster ... reduces feed costs ... saves time watering ... spraying .
.. . washing.
POULTRY HOUSE AND YARD
Egg production increases Bto 10% where flocks have running water in laying
houses and yards. Greater yield plus time and effort saved bring bigger profits.
FIRE PROTECTION
BIG fires start from little flames! Running water, instantly available in and near
farm buildings, will safeguard your property from the menace of ruinous farm fires!
GARDEN IRRIGATION f
Running water makes it practical and economical to employ supplementary
irrigation for the protection of farm garden crops against the ever-present threat
©f drought.

The many, many advantages of running water are all obvious. ,
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY
gets in a little of\his just for fun
in his small sailboat. He recalls
the good old days at Pamlico Inn,
favorite among sports fishermen.
He remembers when there were
three round-trips a week between
Ocracoke .and Washington, N. C.
and one or two to Swan Quarter,
with passengers disembarking at
the Pamlico Inn dock in Pamlko
Sound. Before 1936 the daily mail
boat made the trip from Beaufort,
not Atlantic. No one ever dreamed
then of the possibility of reaching
the Island by car. Capt. Gaskill
believes that when the road has
been built down the Island from
Hatteras Inlet, not only will a lot
more tourists come in, but there
will be much more demand for
boats and guides and that local
guides will fit out their boats for
Gulf Stream fishing. He says that
in the old days business men had
more time off, but that today they
want to get somewhere in a hurry
and spend all their time fishing,
not traveling to an out-of-the-way
place by slow boat. So as a guide
and pilot he is looking forward

Capt. Gaskill not only learned
the art of guiding at old Pamlico
Inn, but he also learned the art of
cooking. The Inn was famous for
its seafpod dinners, prepared under
the watchful eye of Mrs. Bill Gas
kill. And she taught her son, Thur
ston, to prepare seafood Ocracoke
style. Why spoil a good oyster
stew by giving it a milky taste?
There’s no milk in the Ocracoke
recipe: 1 quart of oysters,
in natural juice, put in some
out cubes of salt pork, one
spoon of com cracklings, (meal),
1 cup of water, salt and peper to
taste; let simmer until oyster
edges curl; serve piping hot. And
the Captain cooks the channel bass
he catches, Ocracoke style: boil
the drum until tender, boil pota
toes (in their jackets, separate
ly); when ready to serve sprinkle
fish with fried out fat-back cubes,
put potatoes, hard boiled eggs and
sliced raw onions around the fish
platter; and be sure to serve some
good old home-made corn bread.
