MANTEO SCOUTS
MANAGE BEACH
MANTEO AIRPORT
New Bathing Beach Operat-
ed BY Scouts; SWIM
ming Instructor

Manteo Troop No. 165 Boy
Scouts of America will supervise
and conduct a bathing beach at
the Manteo Airport this summer,
and will charge small fees to pay
for the work, Scoutmaster MILFORD
Wise said. This beach is near the
ferry landing on US Ga and 264
and two miles from Fort Raleigh
where the Lost Colony is now en-
joying its 18th season with record
breaking crowds, who are thrilled
by the story of the first English
settlement in the New World.
Mr.. Wise said the scouts, will
be on duty each day, and their
work will be supervised by Red
Cross Swimming instructor and life
guard. Free swimming instructions
will be available for all children.
Profits from the operation this
summer will belong to the scout
troop.
This bathing beach will provide
much needed service for the peo-
pie of this community" Mr.. Wise
said, " We are fortunate in being
able to provide it, in view of the
fact that use of the property for
swimming purposes might have
been restricted on the grounds it
interfered with the rights of the
lessee of the Airport who operates
flying service. We appreciate his
help"
GAS our income increases, the
Scouts plan to install dressing
rooms or lockers and other serv-
ices which will be helpful to bath
ers on this fine, sandy beach.
The scouts are grateful for the
efforts of Victor Meekins, of w.
M. Henderson, manager of the
Manteo Flying Service, and the Co.
operation of Commissioner Law
renee Swain in working out plan
for this project"
Scouts took over the project
Monday, and this week are en-
gagged in a general cleaning up of
the beach.
On Saturday. July 10th, they
plan weiner roast and a big pro-
gram to help raise money for their
scout hut. Prominent Scout Off
Gals will be invited.
Assistant Scoutmaster is Bobby
Owens. The Troop Committee is
Reverend H. r. Ashmore, Edwin
Midget, and Ray Jones, and Muir
rel Meekins. The Explorer-adviser
is H. K. Tugwell.

GROWING CROWDS FOR
DRAMA ANTICIPATED

Paul Green's symphonic drama
The Lost Colony which opened for
it's 18th season in Waterside Thea
tire here last Saturday night re-
ceived favorable reviews and news
stories in the press of this and
other states.
Total attendance during the
first four performances totaled
2,788 paid admissions. This is 507
less than the seasons first four
performances of 1851, but officials
of the show feel confident with a
long July 4th weekend in the off
ing that attendance viii soon
forge ahead of last season. Ad-
vance sales for the current week
cid have been very good, accord
ing to Mrs. Mabel Basnight, box
office manager.
Despite the addition of thrill
ing new scene that has won the
acclaim OF audiences, there have
been very few Dare County resi-
dents paying admission to see the
show, although a check of license
plates on aGtos at the Lost Colony
parking lot indicates persons from
as far away as Nevada, Texas,
New York, Canada and many other
states have come to see the inter-
nationally famous drama.

HARPER'S JULY NUMBER
SINGS DARE'S PRAISES

The charm of Dare County for
vacationers during the Spring, be-
fore the summer visitors arrive, is
praised in the July issue of Har-
per's Magazine.
In the "After Hours" depart
ment, a writer describes the coun-
tvs terrain, the long bridges
which connect the islands to the
mainland, the sand dunes of the
shore region and the thriving
farm lands.
The writer spent some time at
Mr.. and Mrs. Sykes Sea Ranch in
Kitty Hawk.
"From there" he continues, 1--WE
absorbed some of Dare's mixed
feelings about tourists. The people
want the money and prestige that
visitors will bring them. At the
same time they're reluctant to see
the price of ocean-front lots sky
rocketing. And they aren't at all
sure that what's going to happen
to Hatteras, say, when the pres
ent road is completed, will be near
ly as much to their liking as what
they have now when it takes real
gumption to get there"

THOUSANDS SEE
COLONY DURING
PREMIERE WEEK

internationally famous symphonic
18th season which began on Sat
drama during the first date of its
urday night, June %, and addition
al thousands are witnessing the
show during the current Fourth of
July weekend.
The drama has the brightest
prospects during the 1852 than
in any other previous season, ae-
cording to Aycock Brown, Pub
licity Director of the show. "This
is because of tremendous advance
promotion through out the country
and also becuase of many inter-
esting annd added attractions for
Lost Colony vacationists to see
here on the Dare coast" he said.
"In addition to the blood curd-
ling new scene that has been added
to Act II of the The Lost Colony,
other changes have been made to
make the drama, based on Ameri-
cas- greatest history mystery, more
colorful, more polished and more
impressive to those who attended
the performances" he added, Per-
formances are presented nightly
except Mondays through August
81.
While The Lost Colony is the
stellar attraction of the Dare coast
where the drama is presented at
Manteo on Roanoke Island, the
area is nationally famous for its
other historical sites and as an
ocean resort area. The Dare Beach

VacationistS

The newest thing in good serV-
ice for the convenience of sum-
mer residents now operating
on lower Mays Head. 1t is the
Mermaid Food Shop, recently es-
tablished by Frank V. Husband

VIM. UMSTEAD SPEAKS
LOST COLONY OPENING

When Paul Green's symphonic
drama THE LOST COLONY open
ed in Waterside Theatre here for
it's 18th season on Saturday night,
Governor elect William B. Um-
stead, officially launched the show
on its 81 performance planned for
1852. He asked the audience and
Americans to remember the ideals
behind the founding of the first
English settlement here in plotting
the future.
"On These shores, the men and
women we see portrayed here to-
night provided the beginning of a
dream that has made the United
States great" Umstead said. at
is a dream we must follow in the
everyday analysis of the fast
changing world in which we live.
It is a symbol we must use to as
sure ourselves Of a sound future
in the days that lie ahead"
Umstead and the audience of al
most 1900 persons present showed
their deep appreciation for the new
scene that has been added to Act
II of the drama by a thunderous
applause. The Lost Colony will
give performances nightly, except
Mondays, through August 81. Sat
urday's performance was the 436th
since the original premiere of the
show back in 1887.

PARK OPPONENTS
PROTEST BEFORE
COUNTY BOARD
Commissioners Endorse OBJ.
ections of Citizens to
Proposed National
Seashore

The Board of Commissioners of
Dare County met at Avon Wednes.
day in response to request of op.
ponents of the proposed National
Seashore on the Outer Banks, to
hear objections to the establish
mentof a park. Seven per cent, or
about ITO people of the islands
$500 inhabitants were present rep
resenting all the people of all the
communities, and were unanimous
in their opposition to the estab.
lishment Of a National Seashore.
Included in the opposition were
some who have been long in ad.
vocating the plan, and who have
enjoyed considerable benefits from
the concessions of the National
Park Service now owned on Hat
teras Island.
A petition was presented with
names of SO per cent of the voters
of the area.
Considerable fear is felt that
many privileges now enjoyed by
the people might be lost. Many
people are sincere in the fight;
others are interested in making
profits on land. Some citizens who
have been making a good job of
developing tourist accommodations
believe the citizens can continue
to do the job, and they do not
want any possibility of Federal
Intervention.
And of course there are politi-
clans who talk one way to one
group and another way to another
group, and who swing where they
think the most votes lie. The Park
Service itself may have failed to
fully explain it's plans.
A resolution had been prepared
and turned over to the Commits
sioners when they met; this they
endorsed and will forward it to the
Governor. All of the Commission
ers were present, and they enjoyed
IA good dinner along with other
visitors at the new Cape Hatseraa
Hotel at Avon.
Speakers at the meeting who ex.
pressed opposition to the Park in
cluded Melvin Daniels, Theo Meek
ms and Bruce Etheridge of Man
teo; L. w. Midget, F. N. Midget
and Graves Midget of Rolanthe,
Waves and Salvo; Preston Bas-
nett of Frisco; Lloyd Styron of
Hatteras, and w. A. Worth, Eliza
beth City Attorney, Branch Meek
ms of Avon.
The County Board plans to in
vite the Congressman, Governor,
Park Officials and others to visit
the Outer Banks and hear the
sentiment of the people first hand.
