But sometimes it doesn't. Some

The hair is very fine and rather

ded with fat and almost invariably
blond. The tonsils and adenoids are
likely to be large-the thymus is
similar in structure to the tonsils

moved.
They catch cold easily and have
a very low resistance to any infec-
ton or contagion. They catch anv-

Dare County
Waits Crowds

Manteo, June 3-Inquiries receiv-
ed by officials of historic Dare coun-
ty concerning Paul Green's famous
drama THE Lost Colony" inaugu-
rating its third summer season at the
WaterSide theatre here July l to Sept.
4, indicate that more than 100000
persons will travel from every part
of the country to visit this unique
"seashore sahara for its variety of
sights and sports.
Visitors to this vacation wonder
land during the past two seasons
were lavish in their praise of its
semi-tropical climate, beaches, fish
ing and historic sites. Describing this
area as a 'seashore sahara" was no
brainstorm on the part of Dare
county officials. 1t was first used by
! a western visitor last summer, and
the officials were quick to repeat it.
The phrase is justified since the
miles OF beaches rom Nag's Head to
Hatteras have mountainous sand
dunes for backdrop, with breezes
! blowing in from the Gulf stream.
There are IS miles of ocean frontage
, and hundreds more along the calmer
waters Of myriad lakes, inlets and
sounds. 1t is a country of wind-mold-
ed yaupon trees and miles of virgin
surf. r,NTWj
Sport fishermen will find the deep
sea plentiful in founders, amberiack.
/ tuna and dolphin Blues, channel
bass, sheepsead, kingfish and a host
OF perch for those interested in the
lnshore variety. In addition to this,
the county and its people-descended
mostly from shipwrecked sailors
offers a wealth of picture material to
tn" camera enthusiast.
The main attraction at Manteo,
largest village in Dare County, is
the annual presentation of the Paul
Green drama "The Lost Colony''
which was originally presented here
IN connection with the 35Oth an
niversary celebration of the founding
OIL the first English colonies in the
new world and the birth of Virginia

pected nightly at the huge Water

Inc late of the 121 men, women and
chlldren sent over to Settle the Wild
erness has never been solved, and it
remains to this day one of the most
fascinating mysteries in American
history. 80
Inc production is a non-profit
venture ven sponsored by various state
historical groups. Paul Green wrote
the drama gratis and solely for pre-
Sentatlon on Roanoke Island. The
cast OF $50 actors, dancers and sing
