A Congressional delegation, re

thusiastic in behalf of the obser-

Dare were determined that a cele-

they wrote and staged a pageant

audience was Paul Green, the

1887, that this Paul Green SYM
phonic drama opened in the
Waterside Theatre at Fort Ra-
leigh, Roanoke Island. three miles
north of there. This is the scene
of the events dramatized by the
play the establishment of Sir
Walter Raleigh's Inflated 'Lost
Colony in 1878, and the birth Of
Virginia D a e, the first English
child born in the New World.
That first year it was intended
as only a local, o%ne-season cele.
bration of the 350th anniversary O.
Virginia's birth and the earlies'
English attempts to COLOMBO

lucky and Illinois furnish ii main
backgrounds in Widely escorted
l947 elections.
Kentucky has a hot suoernatorial
contest coming up in November fol-
lowing August primaries. The Dem
ocrats are hoping to swing this
Border State back into their
column. Republicans won in, the
Governorship race in 1943 and the
senatorial scrap last November.
Chicago ranks high in political
interest with her April I mayoraity
election. The Republicans ID are
waging a determined effort to
complete the rout of Mayor Ed
ward j. Kelly's democratic organi- o
cation they started in the No
vember, 1916, voting. oag
These, and other state, county
and municipal elections this year
will furnish the first tests Of
strength among the major parties
since the COP congressional sweep
last November. They may provide
some signs for 1948.
A survey by the governments
division of the census bureau
shows seven states will fill state
offices of one kind or another this
year. But only Kentucky and Mis-
slSsippi elect governors.
Twenty nine states will hold
county and township elections. On
the local level, 70 cities of a pop
ulation of 100, 900 or more Will
elect mayors Or other city officers.
These are spread over "a states.
Kentucky s incumbent governor,
Simeon S. Willis, a republican,
provided an upset four years ago
when he won the governorship. He
defeated j. Lytef Donaldson,
former democratic state highway
commissioner, by a few thousand
votes. Under state law, Willis is
not eligible to succeed himself.
The question to be answered in
the republican primary in Ken
lucky is whether the nominee this
time will be a Willis-supported
man or one backed by the organi-
cation of U. S. Rep. John M. Rob
sion. Lieut.. Gov. Kenneth Tug.
gle, a Robson man, is a prospec-
tive candidate. The Willis forces
have yet to put a MAJ in the
field.
In the democratic primary a
race is looming up between U. S.
Rep. Earle c. Clements and Harry
Lee Waterfield, speaker of the
State House of Representatives.
The primaries are Aug. 2, the sl-
ection Nov 4.

takes 1913 operators working three
shifts to handle the average of 20
600 long-distance calls received
over a "a hour period now. Daily
local calls average 100, 900, accord
ing to o. G. Balm, ST., manager
of the Wilmington company.
Telephones first came to the
Port City in 1879, and this Same
year Wilmington was the second
city in the United States to adopt
the telephone fire alarm system,
it vas reported in A. J. Howell S
Book of Wilmington"
Two different telephones were
needed by all Wilmington business
men around 1900 when the Inter
State company operated an indie
pendent line here. Explaining that
this company used the magnetic
call system now seen on some
rural lines, Sgt. Bragg said thai
the two phones Wer necessary ir
order to contact persons subscrib-
ing 10 the different systems.
The complexities of the early
telephone systems have vanished
and today contact may be made
with people all over t h e world
This vast expanse of telephone
service was clearly revealed tt
those at home when they talked
to their sons and daughters in fa1
corners of the globe during the
war.
Few people realize the multitude
of services at the fingertips O.

quick assistance in summoning {

the cast and staff are Roanoke Is
landers, and most major roles are
played by a group of New York
and Carolina Playmaker actors
from the University of North Car
DINA, where Selden is head of the
Dramatic Art Department.
The play itself tells the story of
a people almost overwhelmed by
the savage forces of a .lew-found
land. Governor John White, the
artist and photographer who gave
the Old World its first graphic con-
ception of the New World, left the
colony late in August, 1887, to re-
turn to England for supplies. Be

he id return in 1890, he found nc

satisfactory explanation of theiI
history ever been found. Green's
drama continues the story of the
colonists after Whites departure

March 7, 1875, Wilmington, with
the rest of the world, has beer
treated to a succession of telephone
developments until today a call
can be placed by the simple
medium Of dialing.
Early days of the telephone
we're recalled here by Sgt. Charles
Lee Bragg, 1902 Market street and
Mrs. W. C. Brinkley, Winter Park,
both of whom were employed by
telephone companies long before
the institution of long distance con-
nections.
While reminiscing the two mem
bers of the Pioneer club mem

longer with the Bell Telephone
company remarked the member

developer of t h 'Ameche'-

March 3.
A call, "21 on 2o,' would GER
tainly confuse the telephone oper-
ator of today, but Mrs. Brlnkley
said that to her this c5ll coming
directly from a subscribers phone
meant that phone 20 wished to
speak to number q. However, Will
mington's second telephone opera
tor admitted that there was great
confusion when the majority OF the
subscribers all decided to "switcf
the call lever at the same time,
resulting in a babble of voices.
No light on a switchboard tolo
the operator that the receiver was
picked up, the person talked di

Only about 200 Wilmingtonian
had phones at the turn OF tl'
century, according to Mrs, BRINK M
lev. while today there are 1850
subscribers in the city.

ployed when Mrs. Brinkley en-

NOW EFFECTIVE

Speaking over the radio last
evening Robert C. Lewis, vice-pres-

pany of Wilmington, who is also

Association, announced the open
ing of the June-July Promotion of

his radio talk Mr.. Lewis indicated
that in the past there has been a

up a regular automatic plan of
purchase of United States Savings
Bonds. This gap has existed for
those people who work where there
isn't Payroll Savings Plan in op-
