Christmas spirit in everyone.
Thanks 60 to Mr.. Chase!
AS the basketball team left
for their first road trip this sea-
son they must have taken bad
luck with them. The cagers
tangled with ECTC Thursday
night to 44-41 in favor of
ECTC. Friday night they were
again defeated by Newport
News 1925. Although our team
showed up in the last half it
was to no advantage as the
Newport News team froze the
ball for the last three minutes.
The team will return today.
I noticed Howell Sharpe at
the dance Friday night who has
just gotten back from Japan.
Howell said he certainly was
glad to be back but that things
certainly had changed. We're
glad to see you Howell! I no.

Friday night Mrs. Bellamy
entertained for her first and

the 1B gym. The gym was dec
Grated in bright Spanish colors
and those attending the party
wore Spanish costumes. Silly
prizes were given to the win
ming boys and girls in various
games. Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton
were among those at the party
and proved very good sports at
some Of the games. Pinatas
were hung around here and
there in the gym and they were
filled with snow flakes, candy
and chewing gum. Different
persons would get blindbold and
would try to hit the Pinatas with
sticks. After they had been beat
or so long they would pop and
whatever was inside would pour
out. You can imagine the ex-
pressions when the snowflakes
fell.
That about has it for now, but

By the Assoeioted Press

Government archeologists, exca-
waiting on historic Roanoke Island,
said last night they have uncovered
evidence of an ancient fort which
may have housed the ill-starred
"lost colony of North Carolina.
They also found a charcoal pit
which, they said, may have been
prepared as one of the last acts Of
the colonists before they disap-
peared. ...s
The excavation is under way at
the Fort Raleigh national historic
site, not far from Kitty Hawk, N. c.,
where the Wright brothers gave
aviation its start.
10-Foot Moat Found.
J.. G. Harrington, National Park
Service archeologist directing the
work, said three exploratory trenches
have disclosed the profile OF ditch
or moat, 10 feet wide and 5b feet
deep, which has been filed In by
erosion of a fort parapet.

age, in contrast to the remains OF
Civil War forts of earthen con-
struction elsewhere on Roanoke Is
land" Mr., Harrington said.
Near the bottom of the moat.
in one of the trenches, a large
fragment of handmade brick and
a large piece of strap iron were
found, bringing to mind the fact
that when Gov. John White OF the
lost colony returned to the fort in
1891 and found that the colonists
had disappeared, he discovered iron
and other heavy objects streWn
about in great profusion,"
In furtherance of charter rights
from Queen Elizabeth to Sir Walter
Raleigh, Sir Richard Grenville es-
tablished a colony of 108 persons
on the island in 1885. The group
returned to England with Sir Fran
els Drake in 1886. Members of a
second party of Is, left at Roanoke
Island the same year, apparently
were killed by the indians.

Hoover 5 1919 !! Report
Warned U !. CouIdn' |
Aid Europe Forever
~ ihe Axsorinfsd press

4
a 2S-year-old statement By Her
bert Hoover that the Western Hemi-
sphere could not meet Europe.s
economic needs indefinitely was
published last night by the State
Department in the latest Of series
OF historical documents.
Mr.. Hoover. then relief director,
gave his estimate OF the European
economic situation IN the wake OF
World War I Ia q report TO the su-
Ipreme Economic Council Of the Al
lied and Associated Powers.
During some short period, 1t may
he possible for the Western Hemi-.
sphere, which has retained and even
increased its productivity, to supply
the deficiencies Of Europe" Mr..
Hoover advised on July 8. 1919.
"Such deficiencies would have to
be supplied in large degree upon
credits, but, aside from this the en-
tire surplus productivity of the West
ern Hemisphere is totally incapable
of meeting the present deficiency In
European production If 1t is long
continued.
Credits Must Be Temporary.
Nor, as practical fact, could
credits be modified for this pur-
pose for more than a short period,
because all credits must necessarily
be simply an advance against the
return of commodities in exchange,
and credits will break down the in
Istant that the return OF commodi-
ties becomes improbable.
Further, II such credits be OBJ
tanned in more than temporary prr-
poses, it would result in economic
slavery of Europe to the Western
Hemisphere, and the ultimate end
would be war again.
''The solution, therefore, OF the
problem, except in purely temporary
aspects, does not lie in stream of
commodities on credit from the
Western Hemisphere, but lies In a
vigorous realization OF the actual
situation in each country of Europe
and a resolute craftsmanship based
on such realization
''The populations OF Europe must
be brought to a realization that
productivity must be instantly In
creased"
No Room For Experiments.
Mr.. Hoover said further that
whatever the economic theory or
political cry, it must embrace the
maximum individual effort, for there
is no margin of surplus productivity
in Europe to risk revolutionary ex-
perimentation."
mo economic policy will bring
food to those stomachs or fuel to
those hearths that does not secure
the maximum production" he added.
Mr.. Hoover's report was contained
in a volume on foreign relations of
the United States covering the 1919
peace conference.

Ruins of Ancient Fort Linked
To North Carolina Lost Colony

John Whites colony arrived in
1887, and in August of that year
Virginia Dare was born, the first
white native of the new world. White
went to England for supplies. When
he returned, all of the colonists had
disappeared.
AS late as 1902, Raleigh was seek
ing the missing group. Neither he
nor the later settlers of Jamestown,
Va, were able to find tracks of them.
Ruins of the Roanoke Island fort
were described in 1709, and in 1895
they were still family visible.
"The present archaeological exca-
vations show the true location Of the
fort" Mr.. Harrington said.
when this work has been COM
pleted, it will bring out the 10th CEN
fury character of the fort and def
nitely identify it as Fort Raleigh.
THE National Park Service in
tends to continue the archaeological
excavation until the plan of the fort
has been fully made known"
