INFORMATION CONCERNING
IMPROVEMENT OF ROADS

Raleigh, N. C.-"The North
Carolina State Highway Commits
sion, and not County Boards of
Commissioners, has the authority
to determine what secondary roads
will be paved"
Makepeace added that the last
State Legislature directed that
County Boards of Commissioners
be given more information con-
corning secondary road policies of
the Commission and that they be
given an opportunity of working
with Highway Commission engi-
neers in the matter of additions
to the State Highway system, dele
ton of roads from the system, and
matters of budgets, but in all
cases, the State Highway Commits
sion has the final authority in all
secondary road matters.
The State Highway Commission
set down the ground rules for the
paving of rural secondary roads
shortly after it took office last
July. Under the Commission APP
proved plan, those roads which

STATES OUTDOOR DRAMAS
TO REOPEN IN JUNE


The lights go up on North Caro-
lina's summertime circuit of out
door historical dramas in late
June when ''The Lost Colony,
"Unto These Hills" and "Horn In
The West reopen.
Lavishly staged in mountain
and coastal vacationlands, the big
shows play nightly except Mon
days through August. Each play
is produced in its own spacious
amphitheatre, seating up to 5000
spectators and accessible by good
motor roads. Lighted free parking
space is provided for patrons au-
tomobiles, and tourist accommoda-
tions are nearby.
"Unto These Hills, at Cherokee
in the Great Smoky Mountains,
opens its 9th season June "a to
play through August 81.
"The Lost Colony" at Manteo
ON Roanoke Island-site of the
first English settlements in North
America-begins its 18th season
June % and plays through August
81.
"Horn In The West, at Boone
in the Blue Ridge Mountains, opens
it's 7th season June % and runs
through September 1.
Sir Walter Raleigh's lll-tated at
tempts to colonize Roanoke Island
in the 1905, and the mysterious
disappearance of the colony OF
1887 inspired Paul Green to write
"The Lost Colony. First produced
in 1887 and interrupted only by
the coastal blackout of World War
H. it became the forerunner OF the
entire outdoor drama movement IN
America. =,
Unto These Hills, by Kermit
Hunter. is the story of the Chero-
kee Indians struggle to remain in
their Great Smoky Mountains
homelands rather than be removed
to the West. In it's cast are de-
scendants of the Cherokee leaders
portrayed in the drama.
"Horn In the West, also by
Kermit Hunter, is the story of
Daniel Boone and the Southern
Appalachian pioneers who settled
the frontier and defended their
freedom against the British in the
American Revolution.

Commission. and in all cases, the
Commission has final authority.
"This is absolutely necessary"
said Makepeace, "since the State
Highway Commission is respon-
sible to the people for the expendi-
ture of all secondary road funds"
All petitions for adding roads
to the system and deletion of sec
ondary roads from the State High
way system must carry the APP
prevail of the local County Board
of Commissioners. Petitions for the
addition of a road to the State
system should be prepared by resi-
dents and submitted to the local
County Board.
The State Highway Commission
cannot abandon any road on its
system without the written APP
lproval of the County Board of
Commissioners of the county in
which the road is located. 'We
cannot take a road off the State

we have the consent of the County

The Society had decided that II
Henry Clay would not free his
slaves in Virginia, he would be
requested publicly to say why.
Henry Clay was 65. There was the
petition before him. He must ans
wer it. He agreed that slavery was
a heavy burden to the South. On
the other viewpoint, he explained,
his slaves were worth about
$4,000 and would the Quakers be
willing to reimburse him if he
should set them free? He gently
chided the Quakers and advised
them to return to their humble
farms.
The words of Henry Clay spread
like brush fire before a wind.
Those opposed to slavery were
more against him than ever; and
his friends in the South turned
upon him heavily for limiting that
they would favor being rid of
slavery. Historians say the petit
ton presented to Henry Clay
and the words he spoke in reply
to it-played major role in his
defeat. Thus it was that James

BIG ONE? :. The behind-doors
talk around Raleigh last week was
that we may land a big fish for
North Carolina from the Chicago,
Illinois-South Bend, Indiana, area.
If so, it will come as a direct
result of the visit of the Governor,
State representatives from other
agencies, and business leaders in
that area two weeks ago.
Now, of course, odds are we
won't come up with much. But, on
the other hand, lot of bait was
slipped into the water where the
big ones swim. We have many
lines out-and they are loaded
with shrimp for the spots, with
seahawk lures for some fast, hard
hitting blues and trout, and some
whole mullet for drum, dolphin,
and king mackeral.
We hope I'd come up with some
thing-and there was a noticeable

more check-wliting. Their ease,
nonchalance, and general breezi-
ness about checks is little short of
miraculous-and altogether charm
ing and wonderful. You can bank
on that. We heard the other day
about this customer who was po-
litely told she had overdrawn.
"Thank you SO much for call
ing, she replied sweetly. "I'm
coming down right this very min
ute and give you a check on my
account to make things right"
And she did.
THE OLDEST We recently
read in Newsweek Magazine an in
teresting article about the sons of
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and how
Nelson might run for the govern
ship of New York State-on the
Republican ticket, of course.
Now in North Carolina-where
about half the church members are
Baptist-we are interested to find
that the oldest Baptist Church in
the United States has been re-
stored through a half-million-dol-
lar gift from John D. Rockefeller,
il.
Built in ITS, this Providence,
Rhode Island, church has served
as the scene for commencement
exercises, sermons, etc., for Brown
University, of which Mr.. Rookie
Teller is a graduate. Many of us
who remember the elder Rookie
Teller, his weather-beaten face, his
dimes, and his gold, can hardly
realize that his son was "a this
past January, 20.
WORDS ARE DURABLE !.
We note by the press that many
of our legislators will be returned
to Raleigh without much opposi-
ton this spring and little or none
this fall. But then there are many
others who must fight in the Pri-
mary and again in the election in
November.
There will be words, words, and
more words. Words are frequently
very durable objects-and they
should be used with caution. For
they can arise to haunt one, con-
denim one, and defeat one-in some
future year of great decision.
In these days of racial strife, we
are reminded that 125 years ago,
and some longer than that, Henry
Clay was regarded as the one man
who could bring the North and the
South together. Everybody said he
was certain to be President of the
United States; and ambition drove
him to the huskings early in prep
aration for the campaign of 1874.
October 1, 1912, found Henry Clay
speaking to an enormous crowd in
Richmond, Indiana.
AS he finished his speech, one
Hiram Mendenhall, a tall and rug
ged Quaker, elbowed his way to
the front and presented a petition
to the speaker. This petition had
been adopted by the Indiana State
Anti-Slavery Society in annual
conference at Fountain City Ind,
few weeks earlier and it said in
part: 1--WE, the undersigned citi-
zens of Indiana ask you most
respectfully to unloose the heavy
burdens and that you let the OPP
