ATTENDANCE HITS PEAK
AS DRAMA FINALE NEARS

As of Thursday, August %, this
week, 10 performances of The Lost
Colony were scheduled to be
shown before the seasons finale
on September 2. During the AZ
performances presented through
Wednesday night, the 18th sea-

ly 41,0OO paid admissions. Best at
tended performances this season
were those presented on August

attendance of each of those
nights was 1890 persons. Two of
the performances were record
breakers, the first, Future Home

CARLYLE DAVIS PLAYS
IMPORTANT ROLE IN DRAMA

A Roanoke Island youth, Carlyle
Davis, Is, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Newton Davis of Mantee, has
mastered the most difficult and
one of the most important roles
of Paul Green's symphonic drama
The Lost Colony this season. On
Wednesday night as understudy
for Uppowoc, the Indian medicine
man and dancer, Davis was given
his chance to play the role, and
those who know the part were
praising young Davis for his per-
formance. Those seeing The Lost
Colony for the first time, had no
idea that the sensational dancing
in the Corn Harvest scene, and
the appearance of the medicine
man in subsequent scenes was be-
ing performed by an understudy.

The blind corners in Manteo at
the intersections along Main and
Broad Streets have now been pos
ted with new Stop signs on both
the north and south sides of the
intersections. The signs require
that drivers on Road and Little
Streets stop for east-west traffic
on Main and Broad. This improve
ment will eliminate the uncertainty
of drivers along these streets, who,
until now, have not generally
realized that cars driving the
east-west streets have the right

be tolerated The wise management,
conservation, and use of our water
resources IS inextricably bound up
with management, conservation and
use of our land. For example, floods
cannot be controlled by dams alone
merely by building them higher
and higher - if everything else j.
neglected.
Soil conservation districts, grass
conservation districts, the preserva-
ton of our forests and wildlife sane
tuaries must be part of the pro-
gram. Insistence upon clean and
clear streams is essential not only
for refreshment and recreation but
as an essential part of water conser-
walton and more adequate supplies.
a Two-WaY Approach
Sound water management and
conservation policy must be built
upon two-way approach: ID We
must manage and conserve our wa
ter, otherwise we will suffer serious
losses in other basic resources, such
as those from flood destruction and
damage to soil, and (2) we must man.
age and conserve our other resources,
such as soil, grass, and trees, or we
will lose the usefulness of our wa
ters-they become dirty, inadequate,
and rush to the sea, robbing us in
stead of enriching us.
Someone has said that every hui
man enterprise is a mixture of .
little bit of humanity, little bit of
soil and a little bit of water. A we'll
rounded water resources policy to
meet the needs of modern life must
be the broad reflection of the think
ing of people on the land, in our
towns and cities, in the state and re-
gion, and in the nation. When the
three-way combination of land, wa
ter and people ceases to be enforced
with moral relationships between
men, ard men and nature, our so
ciety will decline.
Sound water resources policy must
be designed to serve all of the people
effectively and not limited few.
Water, with its many major uses,
must be managed in such way that
these uses will accomplish their max
imum contribution to the well-being
of the people as a whole.
Emerging Problems
Earlier in our society, water re-
sources developments were for the
most part small, single purpose pro-
jects. Today many of the projects
which offer the greatest promise to
increase our production and wealth
are immense, multiple-purpose prof.
ects. Frequently the number o.
uses and costs involved are such tina

tegic position to undertake develop

is fraught with dangers and prob

and programming of these water re
sources developments, well-bal

Irrigation Storage
Above Year Ago

SNOW PACK in the mountains
has accumulated to about an average
condition for this time of year, snow
survey measurements indicate, ac-
cording to Ashton Codd, hydraulic
engineer for the Soil Conservation
service with headquarters at Mon
tana State college.
On the Gallatin and Madison river
watersheds the water content of the
snow cover is not as high as 1949 or
1850, but close to average condition.
Only few courses were measured
on the Columbia river basin as of
Jan. /, Codd said, and not enough
data have been gathered to give
much of an indication at this early
date in the season. More stations
will be measured Feb. l.
Information supplied by the U. S.
geological survey, Codd said, indi-
cate that stream-flow conditions have
been above normal during the fall
and early winter. The water in stor-
age reservoirs throughout the state
is considerably above a year ago
and carryover storage for irrigation
and hydroelectric power is in excel
lent condition.
