LIGHTHOUSE ON ROANOKE.
MARSHES LAST OF ITS TYPE
nv AYCOCK BROWN

Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse,
in Croatan Sound near Wanchese,
will soon be the only screw pile
structure of it's type in operation
along the North Carolina coast.
This does not mean that there
are no longer any aids to navi-
cation at the dozen or moreI sites
of the over-water structures
which until recent years were at
tended by a keeper and in some
instances by an assistant.
The only other lighthouse of the
typt still in operation in the RI
vers and sounds of the coast coun-
try today is at Wade Point where
the Pasquotank river merges with
Albemarle Sound. The Coast
Guard district headquarters in
Norfolk advised me a few days
ago that Wade Point would soon
be converted to an automatic I'M
attended operation.
Roanoke Marshes, located just
west of Wanchese where Croatan
and Pamlico Sounds merge, has
been blinking warnings to mari
ners for more than a century. A
lighthouse was first established in
it's present location back in 1881,
or 80 years before it's locality was
to become the scene of one of the
major amphibious engagements of
the Civil War, which was the Bat
tie of Roanoke Island.
The present Roanoke Marshes
Lighthouse was rebuilt in 1887,
and outside of modernization and
materiel replacement and repair,
it has been unchanged since that
date, according to C. L. Steele,
Chief of tht Fifth Coast Guard
Districts aids to navigation Sec
ton.
It is not generally known away
from the coastland that modern
automatic equipment makes it I'M
necessary at many of the light
houses, including the ocean beach
types, to have resident keepers.
In the Fifth Coast Guard Dis
trict today there are only three
lighthouses where resident keep
ers are still employed.
Cape Fear, at the mouth of
Cape Fear River, is the only one
on the North Carolina coast. The
other two are at Cape Henry and
Cape Charles.
Ocracoke, Cape Hatteras (Amer-
ica's tallest lighthouse structure)
Bodie Island at Oregon Inlet,
Currituck at Corolla and Cape
Lookout are still lighted but I'M
manned. Asateague in Virginia is
the other ocean beach lighthouse
in the district that is unnamed.
The screw pile lighthouse at the
| mouths of rivers and marking
channels and shoals in the sounds,
when manned by resident keepers
provided one of the loneliest of
jobs on the coast. In the beach
lighthouses the keepers usually
had visitors, because many
were in the vicinity of commune
ties. But the lighouses, which
were actually residences on piles
high above the water with a Gu
pola for its lamp, were lonely
places.
The only company the keepers
had were occasional visits from
their families in the old days. Sa-
lutes from passing ships and
boats broke the monotony.

BIOGRAPHY
CONTINUED From Page Onel

of the twentieth century in rural
eastern North Carolina, the Pc
riod and locale Of his boyhood and
his most vivid memories. In these
first plays are to be found in germ
form most of the themes which he
has developed more roundly in lat
er works, even, essentially, in the
historical dramas: the bitter fate
of the, Negro; the Negroes ambi-
ton to rise; his Illustrations; the
white mans injustice and blind
cruelty; love between Negro and
white; the angry resentments
bred by the pressures of small
neighborhoods; the defeated as
pirations of the tenant farmer; the
tragedies caused by intense yet
ignorant religious feelings; the
decay of old families in the Old
South.
Green's picture of the South
as he knows it has been free
of romantic embroidery and ex-
travagance. He has been able
to describe his section Of the
South without getting too ex-
cited about it, without creating
angels and devils in a realm Of
fantasy. In spite of his assO-
citation with Hollywood, he has
never written with one eye on
possible sale to the mOvies-he
has steadily and consistently
written what he believes, with
all the vigOr of a sincere and
honest man.
From the early folk plays of
his Playmaker days, to the de-
veloping and expanding regional
dramatic productions typified by
the symphonic dramas, Paul Green
has remained true to his purpose
and to the ambition to write plays
about people, and for the people.
He has sought to write dramas
for production without CONNER
cial backing, with the design of
bringing music and poetry, color
and drama within easy reach of
people in communities far from
Broadway. In this movement he
has been an innovator. He has al
so pioneered in the combination of
music and drama in a closely in
terwoven form. He has always
suggested and pointed the way
toward greater. harmonies of in
depreciation.

Moi FauIfof Ours Says OPS On Fish Deal

There are no ceiling prices or fresh fish and the ceilings on the canned salmon were set by the Washington, D. C., Office of Price Administration, Julius H. Ferney local information officer, said here today. Fred Hanford, Territorial di- rector, was in Wrangell.
 This was in answer to a protest by the United Trollers of Alaska when fishing ground buyers claimed they were forced to suspend opera tions as a result of recently impos- ed price ceilings on fish.
 Ferney said that Charles w. Pet CTS, price executive here, would at tend a meeting in Seattle Sept. 30 at which prices would be adjusted up or down according to the pack
 Ceiling prices, although lower than last years prices, took into consideration increased canning labor, materials and freight" Fer ney said. He pointed out that the price of salmon increased sharply from June, 1850 to Jan. 1851, due to the small pack last year.
 Current ceiling, prices will more closely approximate normal compet- itive conditions" Ferney said.
 Aniy Barlow, executive secretary of the United Trollers of Alaska said today:
 Had the Office of Price Stabil- ization seen fit to place ceiling on canned salmon before the sea- son, there is no doubt in my mind that this condition would not have arisen.
 "It has been the policy of tht United Trollers to iron out theil problems with the buyers prior tt the fishing season and the relation ship between the buyers and trolieri has been harmonious.
 But Uncle Sam, with the offici of price confusion,' puts maii industry completely out of business There seems little hope for a fai consideration of the problems of tn, fishing industry and the bushes men of Alaska" Barlow said.

Dewey Foe Whipped In Long IsIand
 Primary EIettion

NEW YORK, Aug. 22-tR-W. Kingsland Macy's 25-year undis- puted reign over Republican Suf- folk county was at an end today.

VIEW YORK, Aug. 22-lR-T The .1silty 45,oc0-ton hattlesEip Wis- consin drifted aground in the Hud- son river opposite Manhattan to- day and then l3 puffing towboats pulled her free in a marine drama witnessed by thousands.
 A strong downstream tide held her fast on the New Jersey shore just south of Edgewater for ap- proximately two hours. She was reported free at 8:25 am. (EST)
 The battleship came into New York harbor yesterday from Hali- fax, N. &, on a training cruise and was moored fore and aft to floating buoys.
 A third naval district spOkes- man said unofficial information indicated her stern line snap ped and that her end swung around and touched bottom off the Jersey shore.
 Some witnesses had repor- ted that she dragged both buoys under pressure of the river tide.
 No Apparent Damage
 The navy spokesman said the vessel apparently suffered no dam age, but that she would proceed to Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn under her own power for an un- derWater inspection by divers.
 The navy declined to give out an official statement until it had a complete report.
 From office buildings on the New York side and from Palis- ades Park and other vantage points on the Jersey side thous- ands of spectators watched the little towbOats push and haul to get the huge gray-hulled vessel back into midstream.
 Captain Thomas BurroWes of Washington, D. C., commanding the battleship, could be seen on the bridge directing operations.

BOSTON. Aug. 22-tR-The first complete map of Americas highest mountain - 20,270-foot Alaskan Mount Mckinley now is under way at Boston's Museum Of Science.
 But Bradford Washburn. direc- tor of the museum, said there's much work to be done before the map is finished"
 Washburn last month scaled the peak for the first time from Its western approach. He led an eight man team who mapped and photo graphed the new route thoroughly.
 From their data will come full chart of the mountain and it's gla- ciers.
 Only six ascents of Mt. Mckinley have been recorded. Washburn is credited with two of them = both along the usual Muldrow glacier route.
 He had his eye on the western route for IS years.
 "The western side offers a route by which anyone interested in high altitude research can get up to 18,0OO feet with a maximum of safety" he reported.
 Washburn and his companions began the ascent July and reached the summit July 10.

Fires Continue |Gnawing West Coast Forests
By the Associated Press

Fires continued to chew into the huge timber stands of the west coast today as many areas began their 101st day without rainfall
 Danger of new outbreaks was eyer present with new major flres being reported from British Col umbia.
 Logging operations were shut down tight in Oregon and Wash ington as half a dozen big flres ran wild, spurred by low humidity and high temperatures.
 Tn northern California lightning had kindled some 300 blazes since last Saturday.
 To the north in the Nelson foi- est district of British Columola, l,600 men were struggling against 32 fires, one of them covering 5000 acres.
 Foresters said the west coast fire potential was the highest in 30 years.
