to earlier laws requiring crew

countries, us. possessions such
as Alaska and Puerto Rico, and
on the Great Lakes to hold vail
dated documents, which evidence
security clearance.
Exempted from getting their
mariners documents validated by
the Coast Guard are crewmen
aboard all craft of 100 gross tons
and over engaged exclusively in
trade on the navigable rivers of
the U. S.
However, many worker S

ity identification cards as re-
suit of other regulations which
went into effect July 1.

GARDEN PROJECT
AT FORT RALEIGH
is MOVING ALONG
State Garden Clubs Are
Sponsoring Project on
Roanoke Island

Foundations for the most I'M
usual garden fountains ever er-
ected in the United States are
now being constructed for the
State Garden Clubs Elizabethan
Garden at the site of The Lost
Colony on Roanoke Island. The
Statues are unusual because they
typify the period of Elizabethan
England, which the gardens will
commemorate.
Since the North Carolina Gar
den Clubs made the Elizabethan
Garden here one of their major
projects, land has been acquired,
landscaping has been started and
the goal of $4,000 pledged by
members of Garden clubs from
the mountains to the sea in this
state has been reached.
The $4,000 will see the pro-
ject well underway, but there
will be additional funds available
from time to time to see the Car
den completed.
This outstanding gift of sta
uary is from the Jock Whitney
South Carolina estate and was
first headed for a New York
museum of art, but instead it
was presented to the sponsors of
the local project, through the
intervention of prominent Gar
den club women in N. c.
The statuary has been deliver
ed to Roanoke Island. Under the
direction of w. H. Canipe of Fay
etteville, the general construction
of the garden which adjoins
historical Fort Raleigh and is adj
jacent to Roanoke Sound is now
well underway. Foundations for
the fountains are now practically
completed.

Hatteras. Ben Parker of
Suffolk, Va, trolling for dolphin
and amberjack in the Gulf
Stream off Hatteras on Monday
hooked and boated a 48-pound
wahoo, one of the largest of this
species of warm water fish ever
taken with rod and reel off the
coast here. He was fishing with
Mrs. Parker and friends aboard
the cruiser Albatross II with
Capt. Bill Foster as skipper.
The wahoo, by no means a
world record, was 81 inches
from tip to tip. It's girth mea-
surements were "a inches. Parker
was so proud of his catch that
he had special box built for it
to be shipped to Miami Florida
where AL Pfleuger the famous

MAGAZINE CRITIC HAS
PRAISE FOR LOST COL'NN

! Manteo. What impressed
John Gassner most about The
Lost Colony which he came to
see once but stayed over for a
second performance was the
sincerity of the play. This is
what the noted critic, senior con-
tributing editor of Theatre Arts
Magazine told more than 1900
persons in the Tuesday night au-
dience this week. Il like the
play very, very much" he said.
What I admired most about
The Lost Colony is the great
efficiency with which all the
various elements of scenery, cos
tunes, music and people had
been put together into an int,
grated WHOLE" he said.
However, since efficiency is
an American trait, 1 will not
dwell on this" said Gassner.
''The scenic effects were direct
and genuine. Nothing is done to
make splash, and the lighting
effects they are simply wonder
full"
Perhaps, most of all, "declar-
ed the critic" is the fact that the
acting has integrity"
Interviewed from the great
stage of Waterside Theatre, Gas
sner, answering questions from
General Manager, R. E. Jordan
explained the difference between
a pageant" and an outdoor
drama" and especially the sym
phonic" type of drama which
Paul Green created first with the
launching of The Lost Colony in
1887.
Accompanied by his wife, Mr.
Gassner had previously seer
''The Common Glory" in Will
liamsburg. He left Wednesday
morning with Samuel Selden tc
see Horn in the West" and other
mountain dramas. Here the Gas
sners were guests of The Caro-
Gnian on Mays Head. Asked how
said:
1t is a most impressive place
II have seen the sea, sky anc
sand in beautiful places before
but never so mitch of it all to.

45-POUND AMBERJACK
OREGON INLET PRIZE

A 45-pound amberjack, be-
lieved to be the largest landed
with rod and reel off the North
Carolina coast this season was
landed by Jack Taylor of Virgin
ia Beach on Monday. He was
trolling with a party of friends
aboard Capt. Balfour Baum's
cruiser Butch when the catch
was made in the vicinity of a
submerged wreck near Wimble
Shoals, one of many wrecks of
ships torpedoed and sunk by
enemy submarines during World

DlGCINGS UNDERWAY IN
GARDENS NEAR MANTEO
National Park Service Sponsoring
Project Near Fort Raleigh

Under the direction Of DR.. J. c.
Harrington, noted archeologist
attached to the regional office of
National Park Service, Rich
mond, archeologist diggings were
started this week on land ada
cent to Fort Raleigh on the site
where the Elizabethan Gardens
are being created under the
sponsorship of the N. C. Garden
Clubs.
One prize find as diggings be-
gan was an almost complete
piece of Indian pottery. Damag
ed slightly by the shovel of the
digger who had made the dis
covery enough fragments were
recovered to make the pottery
complete for display in Fort
Raleigh museum where similar
pieces of Indian earthenware are
now on exhibit from previous re-
search made in the area by DR..
Harrington.
1t was DR.. Harrington who
conducted the exploratory dig
gings within the area of Fort
Raleigh's palisades during q
three year period ending in 1851
which resulted in the discovery
of the exact site of the first Eng
lish-built fort in the New World
that was to become America.
This fort site is where Governor
Ralph Lane and his Elizabethar
explorers built roads and laid
out town in 1885. Since Harr-
ington's discovery of the original
outlines of the ancient fort, the
National Park Service has re-
constructed the fort which is now
major attraction for students OF
history and historic sites.
"The present archaeological
work is necessary in order to
make sure that no important his
torical objects are buried forever
beneath the new Garden pro,
Ject," said DR.. Harrington" II
would be very impractical to
conduct series of diggings ir

TELL HIM so

If you hear kind word spoken
Of some worthy soul you know,
1t may fill his heart with sunshine
If you only tell him so.
If deed, however humble,
Helps you your way to go,
Seek the one whose hand has helped you,
Seek him out and tell him SOL
If your heart is touched and tender
Toward sinner, lost and low,
1t might help him to do better
If you'd only tell him so!
Oh my sisters, oh, my brothers,
AS DER life's rough path you 60
If Gods love has saved and kept you,
Do not fail to tell men so!

Report to the
New Trends in
Kitchen PIons;;
Butternnilk Punch
By Violet Faulkner

Members of the press were in
Vited to an old-fashioned
kitchen party the other after
noon as guests of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. and the
Gas Appliance Manufacturers
Association.
We did the grand tour of
shiny kitchens first, then donned
aprons and helped ourselves to
hot apple dumplings, fresh from
the oven, and cups of Steaming
coffee.
The new pine-paneled kitchen
featured many labor-Saving de-
vices designed to be easy on the
heart. These included a work
area low enough for a person to
prepare vegetables while seated,
separate oven and broiler at just
the proper heights to avoid un-
due bending, gas ice-maker re-
frigerator which automatically
makes and stores ice cubes with
out ice trays, and a lazy-susan
type of corner cupboard which
eliminates stretching to find
things.
Miss Willie Mae Rogers, direc-
tor of Good Housekeeping Insti-
tute, spoke briefly on the new
trends in kitchen planning and
equipment. Its not enough"
said Miss Rogers, "for a home
maker to have the latest kitchen
equipment, she should know how
to use it to the best advantage
to save time and work. In the
institute we test many different
appliances for construction and
technical performance, then test
them as women do in their own
kitchens" She would. like to
see less Of the useless gimmicks
and more Of the practical con-
venient features on all appli-
anceS.
Milk Punch
We've had dozens Of requests
for the milk punch recipe served
at the Svithiod Singing Club
during the recent food editors
conference. We wrote the chef
to see if he would consent to
part with the recipe. He would
and did, and here it is: Mix
together l egg yolk, l quart of
buttermilk. sugar to taste, 1a
vanilla bean, split and mashed,
and 4 or 5 slices of lemon. Let
stand or 3 hours in the re-
frigerator. Remove vanilla bean
and serve with cookies or hard
biscuits. Well add a suggestion
of our own: Serve it icy cold in
sherbet cups. It's a delightful,
refreshing beverage.

not only picks up the dust but
holds it until the cloth is laun-
