Saturday or subsequent perform
ances this week have commented
favorably on the acting and also
the general set-up. "One of the
very important items, bringing ex-
pressions of praise has been the
fact that, we have, we believe, got
ten the mosquito situation such as
it had existed in previous seasons
inside the theatre virtually licked"
said General Manager Dick Jordan.
To do this, in addition to a sys-
tenn of Jogging and spraying, spe-
cial mosquito killing electrically
operated devices have been INSTALL
ed around the seats of the amphi-
theatre, Jordan explained. A more
efficient system of parking is pre-
valent this year and the movement
of automobiles to and from the
parking area has been greatly ex-
pedited. The State Highway pa
troll is giving excellent assistance
in handling the traffic which at
times during previous seasons pre-
sented a problem near the entrance
to Fort Raleigh.
Director Clifton Britton with
many principal acting assignments
to fill this season, has a well
trained and rehearsed cast. Marvin
Gordon's choreography is a notice
able improvement in the shows
dances this year and Elwood
Keister, musical director of East
Carolina College and Lost Colony
Chorus has also done an excellent
job.
Through Tuesday night more
than $500 had seen the Lost
Colony and observers were saying
it looks like good season for the
drama. Humber called The Lost
Colony "Not simply a pageant, but
an episode, reaching back to the
primeval dawn of our national ex-
istence, before the historian equip
ped to record the transaction of
his days."

ing with the expected accomplish
ments of the country milkmaids as
they dance around Sir Walter RAJ
leigh. The dance in the scene of
the christening of Virginia Dare
has been changed somewhat, to
place Virginia and her nurse on a
pedestal with the dancers paying
homage to the new baby. Mr.. Cor
don, who returned to New York
this week to resume his role in a
broadway play, from which he had
several weeks leave, will return
later in the summer. In the mean
time, Charles McCraw, who does
the solo dance of the Indian medi-
cine man, will take over for him.
Mr.. McCraw, new to the Lost Col
,ony, was in the original cast of
Brigadoon when it opened on
Broadway, and his dancing as
Uppowoc has elected many favor
able comments.
-. While lacking somewhat in pow
er and balance, as compared to
former years, the Lost Colony
choir, under the direction of DR..
Elwood Keister, provides the back
ground music which is an integral
part Of the drama. Hedley Yost,
last years assistant organist, re-
turned to the. show as organist
this year. Mr.. Yost was organist
for the production at the Metro
.pohtan Opera House in the spring.
Director Clifton Britton, as al
ways, has done a magnificent job
Of producing; the Lost Colony.
Working with a number Of new
cast members and a new choir di-
rection and organization, he has
overcome many obstacles, and the
show goes on, beautiful, dynamic
and soul-stirring.

TO PLACE LIMIT ON
NO. OF CHANNEL
BASS PER PERSON

There is to be a limit on the
number of channel bass which may
be taken in North Carolina waters.
Bass above a certain length are
declared by the Board of Conser-
walton game fish. This week, at
Morehead City, the Board of Con-
servation and Development estab-
lished a regulation prohibiting the
taking of any channel bass under
ia inches in length, and prohibit
ing the taking of more than two
per day, over 30 inches in length.
There is no limit in between, and
this regulation is still not what
sport fishermen and conservation
lists have been trying to get. But
1t is a step in that direction.
The Board also approved a rule
prohibiting the taking of shrimp
which are so small they will not
count 20 to the pound.
The regulation on bass or drum
fishing will apply impartially to
sports and commercial fishermen.
Its chief effect will be to eliminate
the commercial netting Of big
channel bass.
Representatives of sports fish
ing interests advocated the creel
limit at hearing last Saturday.
Commercial fishermen did not op-
pose it although other states have
no similar regulations.
Spokesman at the Saturday
meeting in favor of this rule were
Mrs. Lucille Purser of Mays Head,
Major J. L, Murphy of Kill Devil
Hills, Ed Fike of Ahoskie, and
others.
In another action, the committee
voted to ask the next General As
sembly to appropriate funds for a
comprehensive oyster planting pro-
gram.
The first year cost would be
$105,00 and thereafter the plant
ing would cost $4,000 annually.
This would provide an estimated
annual yield of 100000 bushels of
oysters.
DIR. A. F. Chestnut, director of
the Institute of Fisheries Research
of the University of North Caro-
lima, said the program would in
clude closing planted areas until
the oysters reached marketable
size, regulating the harvesting
areas and opening some areas to
private leasing and private devel-
opment.
The committee turned down the
n. C. Fisheries Association on a
proposed amendment to close in
land waters to night shrimping
from July 10 to September l. How
ever, the committee approved the
closing of the Long Bay areas in
Carteret County to night shrimp
ing throughout the year.

They were fishing with Capt.

thentic performance as the elegant
Sir Walter Raleigh. Harold O'Tuel
was well cast as Governor White.
Manteo's own Grace Davis re-
turned to the role of Agona, the
Indian squaw, and drew many
laughs as she gave her usual
comedy performance. Hal Furr re-
turned as Chief Wanchese, and
Chief Manteo was played by
Woody Fearing, of Manteo. Harley
Streiff, after an absence of one

Annsnias Dare. David Singleton

member, returned to the part of
Joyce Archard, and Margaret JOS
lin took the part of Dame Coleman,
the quarrelsome midwife, for the
first time.
The dances, with Marvin Gordon
as photographer, are this year, as
always, one of the best features
of the drama. The Indian dances
which open the show were done
with grace and abandon, and the
addition of tom-toms and Indian
yells as accompaniment to the
dances gave more authenticity than
has been achieved in former years
with the use of the organ alone.

Roger M. Blough, chairman of

the higher steel prices to offset

economic thinking, every house.

testimony that dealers often had
been forced to buy more cars,

market through normal sales
practices. Auto industry spokes-
men disputed the allegations and
opposed the bill.
The new law permits dealers to
sue in the Federal Courts for
damages, including legal costs,
growing out of the failure of a
manufacturer to "act in good
faith in performing or comply

visions of the franchise, or in

Under its terms, the manu-
