18TH LOST COLONY SEASON
OPENS SATURDAY BOOSTED
BY BUSINESS INTERESTS
Drama on Site of First English Settlements
Telling Story of Raleigh's Colonies Expect
ed to Draw Record Breaking Crowds Dur
ing July and August

The Lost Colony season begins
tomorrow. Double welcome words
along the Dare County coast,
whose modern hotels of today and
other tourist accommodations are
largely the result of this big tour
list attraction, first shown in 1887,
written by Paul Green and wit
messed that same year by Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
was brought to Dare County
through the efforts of Lindsay
Warren, who has done so many
fine things for the N. C. Coast.
land.
The Lost Colony has a cast of
more than 100 persons, and it en-
ploys scores of people to aid in
carrying on the show. Through a
large part of the year it employs
others in getting ready for the
show. There is always a mainten-
ance job under the direction of it's
able Superintendent, Albert @.
Bell.
So much has been said and writ.
ten about the Lost Colony that it
is generally well known to the
people of this state and Of other
states. At this time we will not at
tempt to list the names Of all the
actors or of others who take lead
ing part in its production. Our
purpose is to say that from all
accounts, it was never better re-
hearsed or staged than this year,
and its finest performances may be
expected, for it has many improve
ments in facilities, and some
changes in script for the better.
When the Lost Colony began in
1897, it began on a shoestring. 1t
had considerable backing for those
days from county funds, and more
from the WPA and other relief
agencies which furnished many of
the professional actors. It was al
so helped by the nearby CCC
Camp, the WPA Work Camp; and
always of course from the Univer-
sity of North Carolina there was
strong support, for it was staged
under the direction, as now of
Sam Selden of the University, and
with the help of the late Prof.
Fred Koch.

AS in most institutions of like
nature it takes some one strong
personality to live with it day and

OLD MACS HEAD
A WORTHY BOOK
BY CAPT. OUTLAW

Those of us who love the Coast
land and all of its traditions will
get extreme delight out of new
book which goes on sale on all
local newstands this week. 1t is
called OLD MACS HEAD, and is
by Captain Edward R. Outlaw, Jr.,
who is known far and wide as one
of the lifetime summer residents
of Mays Head. He is now II years
old, and has drawn from his many
memories of the beach in compiling
this book. 1t is illustrated with
numerous hand drawings as well
as photographs of many scenes,
including the hotel which burned
So years ago.
The book was printed in Puenta,
California, and contains a fore
ward by Tazewell Lamb, now liv-
ing at Ell Centre, California. He
will be remembered as a former
editor of the Norfolk Landmark
and used to fish and hunt with
Capt. Neil Midget of Rodanthe.
We recommend this book highly
as one of the finest things about
this region.

MILLION DOLLARS READY
TO BUY LANDS TO FORM
HATTERAS SEASHORE PARK
Opposition By Group of Citizens in Area to
Creation of National Park; Large Part of
Lands Once Owned By State Granted to Ma
tives For Small Sums and ResOld by Them.

A surprising piece of news last
weekend was the announcement
that an unnamed benefactor, in
,erested in seeing the beautiful
Outer Banks of North Carolina
saved for future generations, had
donated half million dollars to
pay for lands in the area between
villages, provided North Carolina
would give a half million.
On Monday the Council of State
agreed to provide the money. A
number of citizens began working
up opposition to the plan, and took
their appeal before Oscar Chap
man, Secretary of the Interior,
who was in Norfolk.
The opposition included many of
the leading citizens of Hatteras
Island, and an attorney for land
interests on the island, and num-
erous people who own no land in
the area involved. The group in
cluded a number of people who
were eager for the park plan back
in the depression days when Gov
eminent money was even more
eagerly sought than now, and also
a few people who drew nice sal
aries working for the park.
The plan has been greatly mis-
represented in many instances,
and not being thoroughly under
stood by some, is opposed be-
cause they fear it will restrict the
hunting and fishing privileges they
now enjoy.
While it is fact that CONNER
cial fishing restrictions have about
taken care Of themselves, and mean
very little profit any more, the
law creating the park plan very
carefully safeguards the rights OF
the commercial fisherman.
While it is fact that wildfowl
hunting ISM what it used to be
and is subject to restrictions re-
CARELESS who may own the land
the bill safeguards whatever rights
there might be, to the native citi.
zens.
While the opposition is coming
from a lot Of well-meaning citi-
zens( it actually is being engend-
cred by a number of persons inter.
ested only in development of reaI
estate at q profit to themselves
and certainly the general run d
citizens would get no benefit il
these leaders succeed.

A six foot, II inch sailfish, a
" pound white marlin, a 61h
pound wahoo and hundreds of am
berjack, dolphin, albacore tuna and
other Gulf Stream fishes have been
landed by anglers fishing along the
Dare coast during the past week.
Inshore thousands of bluefish
have been landed by trollers oper-

truly the most remarkable fishing

The big sailfish was landed by

OUTER BANKS HAS
ITS APPEAL FOR
RETIRED PEOPLE
Wahab A Booster of Its
Advantages For Economi-
cal and HealthfuI
Living

A new part of the South At
lantc coast is now coming into
its own since Ocracoke and Hat
teras Islands have been made ac-
cessible by hard-surface road.
The only barrier is a pleasant
one, an interesting 20 minute
ferry ride across Oregon Inlet
which puts one on to Hatteras
Island, served from end to end
by good road.
Ever since the island has been
publicised through various fea-
ture articles through the years,
intense interest has been aroused
and from year to year outlanders
have come to buy homes sites, to
build and to establish their resi-
dences because of the fine eli
mate, the splendid sport and the
friendliness of the people.
The establishment of a free
ferry by Governor Melville
'Broughton in 1871 early in his
administration gave the Island
its first immense tourist traffic.
Removal of the tolls brought
hundreds of new visitors, and re-
quired increased ferry service. At
that time the Hatteras Island AS
ISOLATION was formed, and it. did
valiant work in advertising the
island, and with seven villages
united, it accomplished a great
deal.
Governor Cherry followed
Broughton, and the people of the
island went to Raleigh some so
strong, representing the Halter
as Island Association, and ap-
pealed to him to continue the
recognition given this long ne
elected people by Broughton. Ac-
ceeding to request, Governor
Cherry set up 100000 to build
the first link of the road, some
10 miles connecting the larger
villages of the island, Avon, Bux-
ton and Hatteras, and a loop
through Avon.
Under Governor Scott, The
greatest development came a.
bout, for it was from his two mil
lion dollar road bond issue, that
the half million dollars needed
for the completion of the road to
Mays Head was provided, and
had it not been for the Scott
road program, there is little like
lihood that another foot of hard
surface would be seen today on
the Island. Fortunately for the
people of the Island at that time,
a Board of Commissioners held
office who were determined that
this long neglected people get
justice, and held out against
much opposition for the ear
of enough of Dare
County's road funds to finish
this project.
Wahab a Great Booster
Over on Ocracoke Island, the
leader in the march of progress
for roads and better communica-
tons and the better advertising
of this area through the years
has been Robert Stanley Wahab,
a man with unbounded love for
his community, its benefactor in
many ways, and the prime NOV
er, and head of numerous, en-
terprises. He has devoted a lot
of time and energy to the adver-
Using of Hateras and Ocracoke.
He proved his faith in the area
by investing heavily in real es-
tate on Roanoke Island, Mays
