The flend armies of age, pain and
death have been pushed back consistent
ly all along the armored frontier of the
unknown. The life span of the human
species has been increased a year or
more.
Mankind Not Only Lives
Longer, but Better.
With one possible exception, 1t may be
that the discovery of sulfanilamide was
the outstanding historical event Of the
decade-so far outstanding that anything
else that has happened hardly deserves to
be mentioned in the same breath with
it. Another event is so recent, and its
potentialities so dubious, that little can
be said about 1.-THE discovery that atoms
of uranium can be split in halves by bonn
bardment with neutrons, with resulting
release of energy exceeding anything
hitherto conceivable on earth. The power
that binds creation together has been
tapped OF what significance? Maybe
relatively little.
Mankind not only lives longer, but
better. Perhaps longer life would be no
great boon if it meant only longer
WEAKNESS and pain. The generation
which has come to maturity in the
decade is probably incomparably su-
perior physically to any other generation
the earth has known.
Physical Improvement Due
To Scientific Victories.
The physical improvement Of both
men and women has been due to a
thousand victorious skirmishes In the
battlefields of medicine, dentistry, pub
lie health. No decade in the history of
the world has been so prolific of these
victories. 1t would require more than
full newspaper page to catalogue them.
Just two high-water marks:
Synthesis of both male and female sex
hormones. with the ultimate prospect
perhaps already partly realized, although
some physicians disagree-of postponing
the onset of age, mental and physical.
Insulin and metrazol treatments, and
apparent cures, of dementia praecox and
the manic-depressive psychoses These
are especially significant because there
is increasing evidence that the great
scourges of the human race in the future
may be maladies of the mind rather
than of the body.
Evening star., 1939-12-31

The decade of 1930-40 opened with
the beginnings Of worldwide depres-
sion and closed with the start of what
may be a worldwide war.
Although 1t was the last great event of
the period, the war. which already has
wiped out Poland and i'm

In 1899 other states, must rank
first in importance be-
cause Of its potentialities; and the ad-
justments OF peace are going to be as
excruciating as the throes of conflict.
This new strange war, however, is only
an extension Of bloody strife that has
been raging the world round for years.
The japanese effort to establish new

The 10-year grind finds considerable
part of the world already war weary,
with neutrals backing away and saying
this is not down our alley. Whether they
can maintain their aloofness remains to
be seen; war gives little consideration to
those on the sidelines-as Finland found

'The Lost Colony Will Be
Presented Again This Year
Anlrd Season For Famous Pa
geant To Commence Ju-
ly l.. Last II Wks.

MANTEO, N. C.,-The third
summer season of Pulitzer Prize
winner Paul Green's "The Lost
colony" will begin a twelve
week season at the huge Water
SIDE Theatre here July l, accord
ing to an announcement made to-
day by D. Bradford Fearing,
president of the Roanoke Island
Historical Association, which is
sponsoring the historical drama.
Produced originally as part of
the 35Oth anniversary celebration
OF the founding of the first Eng
hsh colonies in the New World
and the birth of Virginia Dare
the first English child born on
American soil-"The Lost Colo
ny" is being repeated by popu-
lar demand from both sides of
the Atlantic. More than $4,000
persons saw it during its past
two seasons.
The cast of $50 performers will
include most of the original play
ers. Of this number the majority
of the actors are native islanders
and fishermen who have never
seen a play in their lives. These
people hope someday to even
play the lead roles, making "The
Lost Colony" a sort of patriotic
Oberammergau at the cradle of
American civilization. It is pre-
sented on the very site of the ORR
ginal Lost Colony.
The entire production is a non
profit venture sponsored by var
ious state historical societies and
groups devoted to popularizing
the history and lore Of North
Carolina. Paul Green wrote the
play specifically for Roanoke Is
land and production elsewhere is
forbidden. Although it is his big
gest hit, Green receives no royal
ties from the drama. His other
successes are Johnny Johnson,
1.-THE House of Connolly, and
I'm Abraham's Bosom" for
which he wen the Pulitzer Prize
in 1927.
Among the many thousand to
see the initial production were
President Roosevelt and Brooks
Atkinson, drama critic for the
New York Times. In a nation
wide radio broadcast direct from
Roanoke Island, the President
praised the heroic efforts Of the
first colonists. Mr.. Atkinson

symbols of a brave new world. "
Director Samuel Selden, who
was awarded a Guggenheim Eel
lowship last year to do book on
basic art principles in scenic de-
sign, will return from Europe
May /, to again take over direc-
tional duties. Howard Bailey, the
production manager, will leave
his post as head of the dramatics
department at Rollins College,
Winter Park, Fla, to resume his
Lost Colony activities the follow
ing month.
Music for the drama will again
be supplied by full chorus from
the Westminster Choir School,
of Princeton, N. j., under the di-
rection of Theos Crank. Based on
18th century ballads, carols and
songs collected by Paul Green,
the score was arranged by La
mar Struggled, noted American
composer and winner of the Pu-
liter Prize for music.
In "The Lost Colony" Paul
Green tells the dramatic story of
121 men, women and children
sent over in 1887 by Sir Walter
Raleigh to colonize the American
wilderness. Following the birth
of Virginia Dare, the colony dis
appeared from the Carolina coast
and left only single trace Of its
existence-the word "Croatoan''
carved on a tree. The mystery of
what happened to these heroic
pioneers has haunted historians
here and abroad for many years.
Across Roanoke Sound from
the palisaded Waterside Theatre
is the Wright Memorial, marking
the first sustained flight in avia-
ton history. Other sites of inter-
est in his area are an entire 18th
century village in the rough
hewn juniper log tradition of the
period; Hatteras, the Graveyard
of the Atlantic; Mays Head
where Blackboard flew the skull
and cross bones; and Rodanthe
the Old Christman village.

CASTILLO Named
Assistant Pastor
Of Bapt. Church
Student AT Baptist Seminary
In Pa. Expected to Ar
rive Next Week.

Rev. Woodrow CASTILLO, a stu
dent at the Baptist Seminary IN
Pennsylvania, has been elected
to assist Rev. w. T. Wilmington
this summer with his many du-
ties as pastor of the West Jeffer-
son Baptist church.
Mr.. CASTILLO, whose home is IN
the eastern part of this state, is
anxious to get some practical ex-
perience and to spend the sum-
mer in the mountains. He is ex-
pected to be out of school and to
arrive here next week.
Mr.. Wilmington said he had
never met the young man, but
that reports about him were
mighty good and that he was de-
lighted to have the assistance for
the summer months.
This will give me more time to
devote to our Bible schools IN
the county," he said.
