AVON'S REMINDER OF
WV II is LlFEBOAT HULK

Avon. - A grim reminder of
how close World War II came to
the North Carolina coast II years
ago is an old metal lifeboat on
the beach in Avon, Dare County,
on the Outer Banks of North
Carolina.
The bullet-riddled hulk of a
lifeboat, from one of the many
ships of commerce sunk off
Cape Hatteras during World War
II by enemy submarines of the
Axis Powers, is the only one left
on the islands long beach which
extends from Oregon to Hatteras
Inlets. After the waters off Cape
Hatteras became a Torpedo
Junction during 1912, the beach
was Uttered with lifeboats, and
the broken debris from many
ships. In this metal lifeboat were
the bullet holes of enemy shells,
indicating how the survivors
aboard that boat had Jared.
There are many accounts, in War
diaries, of how survivors seeking
safety in their lifeboats following
a torpedoing, were fired upon by
the crew of the enemy submarine
which had already sunk their
ship.

FIRST FORT RESTORED
ON ROANOKE ISLAND

Manteo. - Visitors to Roanoke
Island where the first attempts
to settle the New World were
made, now may see historic Fort
Raleigh as it stood when built in
1885.
The earthen Notifications
perhaps the earliest building
done by Englishmen in America
which guarded the tragic Lost
Colony of Sir Walter Raleigh
have been completely restored.
Earth from the original ditch or
dry moat around the fort was
used to build up the parapet, as
the colonists did.
1t was at the site of the fort
that Virginia Dare, first child of
English parentage to be born in
America, was born in 1887.
The story of the colonists and
their tragic disappearance is told
in Paul Green's symphonic
drama "The Lost Colony, pre-
sented, from July to September
each year in the open-air Water
side Theatre near the fort.

MITCHELL MARKER is
READY FOR ERECTION
AT CAPE HATTERAS

Officials of the Dare County
Tourist Bureau were advised this
week that the State Historical
Marker which has been cast in
commemoration of the exploits
of Brigadier General Billy Nit
chell is now ready for erection
and that the State Highway and
Public Works Commission would
place same alongside the high
way near Hatteras village within
the next few days.
Edwin A, Miles, researcher for
the State Department of Archives
and History stated that the mark
er reads as follows:
BILLY MITCHELL
Brigadier general of the Army
Air Service demonstrated air
power by bombing battleships
off coast September 5, 1923.
Landing Field Was Here.
The American General who
first proved that surface craft
were vulnerable to bombing
attacks from airplanes, based
his Martin bombers on a landing
field he had established on the
beach abreast of Hatteras village.
On September S, 80 years ago, he
sank two battleships, the USS
Virginia, and the USS New
Jersey. His exploits received
little credit from his government
at the time, but in the years
since, his experiments have
proven very true in modern war
fare.
The marker to be erected at
Hatteras is the first recognition
North Carolina has ever paid the
famous general.
1t is planned to unveil the
marker with appropriate cere-
monies on September 5 this year,
an official of the Tourist Bureau
stated.

SANITARY BOND
ISSUE DEFEATED
BY X. ID. HILLS
Measure for Water System
and Fire Protection Both
Fail tuesday,

By the decisive majority rolled
up in the newly Incorporated town
of Kill Devil Hills in Tuesdays
election, the proposals for water
system and fre-hghting depart
ment got staggering defeat, and
the achievement of a safe water
supply for the miles of fast de-
veloping Dare Beaches is indef-
nitely postponed.
Of 102 voters registered at the
Kill Devil Hills box, only 10 per-
sons voted for the water system,'
and 70 against it. For the fire.
fighting system there were "a votes
and 70 against it.
Mays Head voted strongly for
the measures, but had fewer votes
registered for this election. Of sc
registered voters, there were 35
for the water works and IA against
it. Thirty six voted for the fire
depa rtnrent, but IA voted against
it. Water lost by 90 votes in all;
fire protection by II.
The measures were therefore
defeated about two to one.
One thing that may have caused
the round up of so many voters.
in Dare's newest precinct is ages
old objection to additional taxes.
The Kill Devil Hills area has been
recently incorporated into a mu-
nicipality, and it's property owners
are being assessed now with town
taxes, which is something new and
additional, However, the area had
more to lose through lack of the
modern sanitary facilities, for it
has more hotels, and tourists
courts than any other like area,
whose property values might Sc
riously decline in event of a ca
'tastrophe brought on by lack of
modern facilities.

DARK OF THE
MOON PLAYS TO
BIG AUDIENCE
Drama Glass of Roanoke Is
land School of Fine Arts
Presents Mountain
Folk Play

Playing to an audience of more
than 500 people the folk drama
Ozark of the Moon" was present
ed Monday night in Waterside
Theatre on Roanoke Island. The
play, which was written by
North Carolina-born Howard
Richardson and William Berney,
has western North Carolina set
ting, high in the Smoky noun
tains. The stage of Waterside
Theatre lent itself admirably to
the staging of the drama, and the
lighting and sound effects were
most realistic.
The audience accepted the
play with different reactions. A
number thought it sacrilegious in
spots, a little vulgar and raw in
other spots. Those who are fam
liar with folk lore, and who
understand the emotions of a
primitive people in their native
habitats, and their superstitious
beliefs in the supernatural, en-
joyed the intense drama of the
show. Both groups were agreed
that the acting and staging of
the show were excellent. Most of
the actors are seasoned mem
bers of the Lost Colony cast, and
interpreted the emotions and ac-
tionS of the characters with a
realism not found in an amateur
production.
Especially outstanding were
the performances of Barbara
Griffith as Barbara Allen, the
heroine of the story barbara
also plays the part of Eleanor
Dare in the Lost Colony); Dan
Reid as the witch boy; Lynn
Townsend as the conjur woman;
Ruby Virgins as Miss Metcalf;
Jerry Ammons as Uncle Smell
cue; Nena Williams as Mrs. Sum-
mey, the midwife; Mary Wood
Long as Mrs. Bergen; Lillian
Prince as Mrs. Allen (Mrs. Prince
plays Queen Elizabeth in the Lost
Colony; George Spence as Mr..
Allen George is Simon Fernando
in the Lost Colony; Charles
Hadley as Preacher Higgins
CHARLES is Master of the Queens
Ceremonies in the Lost Colony
Charles Boyens as the conjur
man., Joseph Hall as Floyd Allen;
Betty Spence as Edna Summey;
and Gene Ross as Marvin Hud-
gins.
Lois Zierck, as the fair witch,
and Virginia Young, as the dark
witch, displayed an easy grace
and precision in their dancing;
their acting was outstanding, and
they drew extra rounds of ap-
plause from the audience as they
disappeared out of the moonlight
into the mist.
Others taking part in the
drama were Robert McCulloh,
Indy Willard, Mary Blanche
Meekins. Ben Etheridge, Madge
Marshall, Charles Billings, James
