.CuthreUs Are
Developing
Beach
Have Ambitious Plans
for Camden Resort
Before Next Summer

A cool and potentially popular
beach resort is in the making on
the south side of the PaSquotank
river about seven miles below Eliz-
abeth City, where the Brothers
Cuthrell, three in number, have
ambitious plans for the develop
ment of TeXaco Beach.
The CuthrellS already have sew
eral attractions at their resort, not
the least Of which is cool breeze
that blows from the river even on
the hottest days. Another is a
spacious grass lawn on the river
shore, a large spreading oak,
huge brick oven and benches, all
of which combine to make the
place ideal for picnics, fish fryS,
wiener roasts and such.
Then there's the baseball park,
which is one Of the finest in
Northeastern North Carolina. And
now the CuthrellS are building
boxing platform and ring and are
going to see if outdoor fights will
prove popular.
Then there's the dance hall.
where there is dancing almost
nightly and sponsored dances each
week.
The bathing beach is one prob
lem now worrying the CuthrellS.
The river is clean and the bottom
is good at that point, but there is
a long shoal extending far out in
to the river Which makes it nee
eSSary for batherS to 60 some dis
tance in order to reach deep wa
fer. However, it is ideal for kid
dies. -"
PIans already are being formu-
lated to remedy the bathing sit

up Mrs. Hester Smell at the foot
of Burgess street and took her
home, for it is pretty certain that
Mrs. Smell was on tho verge of
casting herself into the PaSquo-

Mrs. Smell, who is from Ply
mouth and is visiting her sister,
Mrs. VIM. P. McCabe on East
Broad street, walked down to the
foot of Burgess street around $50
o'clock last night and sat down on
the edge of the dock with her
face in her hands. A Negro watch
man saw her there and reported
to Sam Williams, Norfolk South
ern Railroad employe who was
working nearby.
Williams tried to talk to the
woman, but she told him to go
away and leave her alone. She
was mumbling something about
killing herself, Williams said la

About that time, the police pa

important though unobstrusive
part in the spectacular production
of Paul Green's dramatic triumph,
The Lost Colony" The backbone
of that drama is composed Of 10
cal people from whom more than
go per cent of the great cast is
drawn. To Mrs. Mathis, supervisor
of the Federal Theatre project on
Roanoke Island, and director Of
the islands EliZabethan Players,
Mr.. Green was indebted for the
fact that a notable group of young
people on Roanoke Island had re-
ceived an intensive training in
Stagecraft and dramatic art that
enabled them to step confidently
into important roles of what prom
ises to be an immortal drama. Mrs.
Mathis is associate director Of

and to her fell most of the work
of it's casting. Frisby photo.

Manteo, July 9.-Several hum

which tonight saw the presenta-
tion of the symphonic drama,
THE Lost Colony" go off in
splendid fashion, and it is ex-

even larger crowds. The clear

the beauty of the natural setting
and the performers improve in

All talk to dissentions in the

County Auditor Says
Reduction of IS Cents
or More Very Likely

Despite the burden of social
security payments, Pasquotank
county's 1887 tax rate is likely to
be at least Is cents less than the
1886 rate, it was disclosed yester-
day by County Auditor c. c.
Pritchard, who is preparing the
budget estimate on which the tax
levy will be ba~ed. The present
tax rate is $1.20 per 500 valu-
alton, and Auditor Pritchard is Of
the opinion that the new rate will
be as low as $1.05, and possibly as
low as S1.00.
But how can this be done in
view of the expense of the social
security program, the proposed
district health program and other
new expenses?" he was asked.
The principal contributing fac
tor to the lower levy, he pointed
out, is a cash balance Of around
$4,000 at the close of the 1936-37
fiscal year. The cash balance at
