CAR TAGS AND DRIVERS
LICENSES ON OCRACOKE

Ocracoke, May 7.-Ocracoke has
passed another milestone in ac-
cepting so-called civilization and
its limitation on freedom. Today
for the first time drivers licenses
were issued on the island, where
for many years isolation and lack
of paved roads has made them un-
necessary.
1t. T. B. Brown, executive Off
Ger of the Greenvilie District, M.
H. Bynum, Supervisor of Weights,
Registration, Thefts, and Patrol
man Malachi Grey, examiner, ar
rived at Ocracoke Monday after
noon and opened up "shop" early
Tuesday morning for the written
tests. By noon about fifty persons
had taken the test and all had
passed with flying colors and un-
usually high ratings of 95% or
better. Road tests were given in
the afternoon with similar sue
cess, though some of the fairer sex
were little nervous under the
watchful eye of the examiner. The
unusual scores on the written tests
were attributed in part to the fact
that applicants had secured and
studied industriously the little
"blue traffic law" books and at
their own instigation had "brush-
ed up" at night course taught by
Prof. Rondthaler one night weekly
during the six weeks previous to
the testing program.
Similar courses had been taught
in the health and safety program
of the school to all high school
and seventh and eigth grade stu
dents, and 1t. Brown spent the
greater part of the morning at the
school, answering pupils questions
about traffic laws, and pointing
out the work of the research State
Highway Patrol in the field of ac-
cident control. Movies loaned to
the school by the Highway Patrol
office have been a great help in
the courses.

THE FOUNDER"
IN WILLIAMSBURG
OPENS MONDAY
Newest Outdoor Drama BY Paul
Green Starts With James
Town Colony

Williamsburg, Va, May 9. -
When 1.-THE Founders" opens in
Williamsburg on Monday, May ID,
Virginians can chalk up another
national first. The new Paul Green
play will be the initial large-scale
outdoor drama to be produced in
the daytime.
= To playwright Green the bold
departure from the usual drama
will popularize the theatre for
Americans, who already flood to
other outdoor affairs, such as base
ball and afternoon sports.
'The Founders" as the story of
the jamestown settlement, also
fulfills for Green and many promi-
nent citizens of Virginia long
time dream to bring to life
struggles of the English colonists
beginning from their courageous
landing in 1907 to the deadly In
dian Massacre of 1922.
In the early 194O's the James
| town Corporation, producers of the
new production and its sister
drama, "The Common Glory
chose site on jamestown Island
for a theatre. Green was asked to
write an appropriate play.
When the island was found to
be unsuitable for an outdoor thea
ire. the production was moved tc
Williamsburg and the settinge Of
the story turned instead to the
golden history of the Revolution
airy War. The resulting drama
"The Common Glory" is now en-
tering its eleventh year as ma
tional attraction.
I In the new drama, Green has
, brought to life the dashing Cap
!. tain John Smith, pious John Rolfe
and his lovely Indian wife, Poca'
hontas: and old chief Powhaton. A
cast of nearly 100 portray Other
prominent figures from the early
j 1600's.
"The Founders" will be shown
each afternoon at $3.50 PM, except
Mondays, through October 10. Its
site is the naturally shaded 17O(
seat Cove Amphitheatre which
faces Matoaka Lake-only {
stones throw from "The Common
Glory" amphitheatre.
Green has called the sylvan
theatre with it's surrounding trees
and bushes "the prettiest il

OFFERS PRAISE FOR
DARE SCHOOL OFFICIAL

HOPES JAMESTOWN WON'T
OVERSHADOW LOST COLONY

To the Editor:
AS one who has long been inter-
ested in the Carolina Coastland, l
am somewhat concerned over the
mammoth build-up that is being
given to the jamestown affair, now
so prominently drawing space in
the nations press. I am not de-
crying the enterprise. / am all for
everything that impresses on our
people an understanding and fer
vor for their priceless historical
heritage. What bothers me is the
prospect that the jamestown cele-
bration may suberge the Roanoke
Island Lost Colony pageant. Each
has distinctive place in the an
nails of our early existence. My
earnest hope is that each will carry
on successfully and fulfill the as
pirations of those who translated
dreams into realities.
In the case of the jamestown
extravaganza, a great deal OF
money undoubtedly is available for
promotion. The cost of reproduc-
ton of the banks that brought the
colonists to the islands in the
James River is bound to have been
staggering. Supposedly, the State
of Virginia advanced the funds
needed.
I know nothing of the details of
financing the Lost Colony effort.
But it does seem to me that the
State of North Carolina should
contribute generously to financing
the Colony pageant.
Why shouldn't Britain's queen
visit Roanoke Island as well as
jamestown? FDR and Eleanor
gave it fillup.
North Carolina is far better sit
uated financially than her neighbor
to the north. Surely, she has funds
available for promotion of what
she has to offer the nation in her
primary place in historical back
ground.
