Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Is.
land, Paul Green's symphonic
drama "The Lost Colony" got
underway Saturday evening, June
80. With Jan Saxon playing the
role of Eleanor Dare for the first
time, the part was given the best
and most sincere Interpretation
since Barbara Griffith left the
show several years ago. Miss
Saxon gave an excellent opening
night performance, and bids fair
to continue to excel in the role
during the remainder of the sea-
son. Phil Bruins, also new in the
show, gave the tragi-comic role of
Old Tom Harris a good start. He
played the comedy scenes much to
the liking of the audience and he
received tremendous applause at
his first exit. The serious scenes
were also we'll played, and promise
to become better as the show
moves along. Martin Gerrish, in
his second season with the drama,
was we'll received in his part as
John Borden, which he played in
strong manner and in even bet
ter character than last year.

SCHOOL BUDGET
REQUEST REDUCED
BY COUNTY BOARD
Broken Down Heating Plant at
Man+eo School and Buxton
Water Supply May
Go Unrelieved.

In the trimming of the budget
for the current fiscal year this
week, the sum requested by the
Board of Education for operation
of the county schools was reduced
by about $1,000. The sum allotted
for the coming year is $4,000 as
compared with $3O,538.82 last
year, not counting the $4,000 ap-
preparation to buy land for school
sites at Kitty Hawk and Manteo.
Increases were granted several
other county departments along
with the schools. The Board of
Education contended their needs
were greater than last year.
Among these needs is the replace
ment of the worn out 30-year-
heating plant at the Manteo
school, and installation of a decent
water supply at the Buxton school
The Manteo heating plant breaks
down every year, causing the
schools to shut down. 1t also needs
two extra $500 sections added tC
it. At Cape Hatteras, no suitable
water has yet been piped up tc
the school, and it will require
drilling of wells to find it.
Despite the additional cost Of
operating the schools during the
past seven years and while the to-
tai county budget has increased b!
$1O7, $3.50, the amount allotted tht
schools this year is only $7,94(
more than was allotted the schools
in 1949. At the same time thi!
year, Currituck County has appro
priated 100000. Currituck i!
spending nearly twice as much pc
pupil as Dare County spends.

ARMY FACILITY TO
TAKE. MACS HEAD
COAST GUARD STA.
Long Established Unit Abandoned
at Nags Head. Following Sur
vey Made in January

After several suggestions since
World War II it might do so, the
Coast Guard has abandoned Mays
Head Coast Guard Station, sent
its crew to enlarge that at Kill
Devil Hills, and has turned the
Mays Head property over to the
Army for it's Radar Coverage pro-
gram.
The commandant of the United
States Coast Guard, Vice Admiral
A. C. Richmond, USCG, has order
ed the disestablishment of the
Coast Guard Lifeboat Station at
Mays Head.
This action has resulted from the
findings of the Coast Guard Board
of Survey, headed by Rear Ad-
miral H. C. Perkins, USCG. The
survey was conducted last Janu-
airy.
The board was ordered to con-
vene for the purpose of surveying
Coast Guard facilities and recon-
mending for disestablishment those
which do not contribute signifi-
cantly to Coast Guard functions,
or for change in status such as
reduction, consolidation, or reloca-
ton were appropriate.
The board held a public hearing
in the courthouse at Manteo, on
January II, 1856, and also con-
Quoted an on-site survey of the
Mays Head station to determine
whether or not that station was
comparatively inactive as far as
Coast Guard statutory response
bilities were concerned.
AS a result of the Mays Head
Station being disestablished, the
Life Boat station at Kill Devil
Hills will be increased by six (6)
men. Two additional men will be
assigned to Oregon Inlet Lifeboat
Station.
In addition, a new lookout
tower will be constructed on the
roof of, the Kill Devil Hills station
where a continuous lookout will be
maintained.
Kill Devil Hills station will re-
ceive an increase in it's boat and
vehicle allowance. Two additional
vehicles will be sent, as well as
an additional motor surfboat.
The Coast Guard will vacate the
Lifeboat Station prior to July 10,
1856.
The commander, Fifth Coast
Guard District, Rear Admiral H.
C. Moore, USCG, has issued a
revocable permit to Colonel H. G.
Smigelow, u. s. Army, command
er of the Bird Antiaircraft Artillery
Group, to occupy the station.
The Bird Antiaircraft Artillery
group plans to erect radar site
at this facility which will increase
the radar leverage Of the Norfolk
antiaircraft artillery defense area,
It is planned that the initial
Army personnel viii move into the
facility on July 16, 1866.

Some new ideas for structures

the Waterside Theatre, Mr.. Hum

the unfinished symphony of Amer

You are assembled here tonight
on consecrated ground-the spirit
ual birthplace of the greatest ma
ton on this earth. He reminded his
audience shat Lanes colony was
% years before Jamestown and 81
before the Pilgrim Fathers landed
at Plymouth in Massachusetts,
these are sovereign facts of his
tory too little publicized but vital
to a true understanding of the orr
gin of our country. North Caro-
lina's modesty has been too often
the passport to the assumption Of
priority by others"
Nowhere on the North Ameri-
can continent can one behold a
drama of such historical signifi-
cance-or stand on a spot whose
light has cast such prophetic
beams across so many fateful Gen.
turtles of history.
"This ground is sacred to the
memory of a race of pioneers, who
possessed in plentitude human
frailties mingled with enough 81
human virtue to command the
gratitude of endless generations.
'They bartered a bit with des-
tiny and exchanged vital statistics
for immortality. They finally join
ed the human race and left to
posterfty the enigma of discover
ing their identity.
"The Lost Colony is the unfin-

ton of a memorial worthy of their

Icardi is before the jury on a
perjury count, charged with ly-
Ing when he denied responsible
ity for the 1914 death of Mai.
Holohan during "cloak-and-
dagger" mission behind German
lines in Italy.
Mr.. Williams told the Federal
Jury that the murder was en-
gineered by Vincenzo Moscatelli,
whom he described as the life
time Senator. The attorney said
Moscatelli "artfully devised" a
plot to blame Icardi and another
American for the Staying. The
Italian Communist made up a
story that our State Department
ordered the major killed, Mr..
Williams said.

Icardi has consistently claimed
the major disappeared when the

gunfire. Icardi has claimed the
spies thought they were being
attacked by Germans or Italian

Mr., Williams told the Six-man
