Hurricane Force Gales Lash West Coast {
tBy The Associated Press)

Stormy weather that lashed the Paific Northwest with gusts reaching hurricane force and re- sulting in the death of at least one person, moved eastward yester- day, some of it's fury subsiding as it headed inland.
 Vice President Nixon, his fam fly, and a party of newsmen ar rived in Seattle Monday night by plane from Alaska only minutes after the full fury of the storm had passed. Those aboard said they had relatively quiet flight.
 As the fast moving storm hit Washington and Oregon, gusts up to 161 miles an hour were recor- ded at the exposed Nasselle, Wash, Air Force radar station on a peak near the mouth of the Columbia River.
 At lower levels, the gale ripped across the Washington coastal ci- ties of Hoquiam and Aberdeen at velocities up to 81 miles an hour. Seattle had gusts to 59 miles an hour.
 A freak accident killed teen age girl pedestrian in Tacoma, Wash. The wind knocked branch from a tree. It fell across a power line and the broken wire coiled around Ann Maureen Thomas, 19, Seattle, electrocuting her.
 Trees were toppled, blocking highways. Boats were swamped. and cities blacked out as the strong winds swept the area. The rain belt expanded eastward dur ing the night into central Mon tana and southward into the northern California coastal sec tions

housekeeping. As one mother said,
it is like party every night, a
way to be with people, to have
fun, to leave troubles behind.
Each evening, the young actors
can be seen, stealing moment
before their entrance or following
a scene in which they have partici-
pated, standing quietly in the
wings, eyes glued on the stage
action, lips silently murmuring the
lines of that scene. They know
when scenery is going on or off
stage, and they have learned to
stay out of the way of dangerous
flats as well as have their older
fellow actors. ~
These modern-day Lost Colony
children are normal, healthy, fun
loving youngsters; they swim, fish,
yell, squabble, run around jumping
over each other, forgetting to be
silent all the time, but instantly
obeying when reminded, and they
are intensely interested in the
show and everything that has to
do with it.
The Manteo children are Ce-
celia Fields, age seven, who
is one of the flower girls
and Colonist child; Barbara
Beavers, four and a half, the
other flower girl and a colonist
child; Linda Jordan. nine years
old, in her second season with the
show, a colonist girl; the twins,
Betty and LOWE Ward, age twelve,
who have been seven years with
the show-five as flower girls, the
past two as pages; Lorna Fields,
a colonist girl; Alma Etheridge, a
herald.

quently, during the show, when he
is not on stage, he can be found
sitting in the wings, intently
watching everything going on on
stage.
Alma Etheridge's entire family,
except her father, has been with
the show, and her mother is at
the ticket window each day this
summer.
The LOST COLONY has always
been family" show; entire
families on Roanoke Island have
taken active part in it's production
since the shows beginning, and it
is their show. And so it is fitting
that the Island children should be
an integral part of each summers
production. The technical charts of
Mr.. Long which go back to 1947
are actually a record of all the
IllcIl WIZ nave WOI hCu LcClili1Cdlly
in the show, and many of those
now on his technical crew are sons
or brothers of those who worked
in the first years. Linda Jordan's
was one of the two first
flower girls to the Queen; Joe
Whites father, brother and sister
have been active members of the
cast Of the show in the past years.
Mrs. Fields has two daughters in
the show and two working with
the show in other capacities. Thus,
Mr.. Green's drama, now in its
season as the grand
daddy of all outdoor Dramas" and
significantly produced on the very
site where the Lost Colony of Sir
Walter Raleigh lived for short
time and vanished, is a drama of
real people who believe in their
show, and whose children live the
drama of it year after year.

CHILDREN OF THE
LOST COLONY PLAY
"a VALUABLE PART
Numerous Dare County Young
sters Make Bio Contribution
to Show
BY ELIZABETH WEIGH

In the script of THE LOST
COLONY, Paul Green's symphonic
drama which is playing its eight
zenith season in the Waterside
Theatre on Roanoke Island, Mr..
Green writes that in Raleigh's
colony which was established here
in 1887 there were 121 men, wom-
en- and children. What of their
counterparts, today's children of
THE LOST COLONY? There are
thirteen of them in this years
company, ranging in age from four
and a half to twelve. There are
six girls and seven boys, and each
evening these youngsters fill their
various roles capably and profess
sionally. True, they are children
and they act like children, but they
obey with promptness the regula-
tions for back-stage behavior.
They love the show and are loyal
to it; they take pride in doing
their jobs, and are eager to fill
in when there are vacancies due
to illness or absences of any of
the other children.
They use the lines from the
show for daily conversation; they
use them in their play, doing en-
tire scenes perfectly; woven
through their waking and sleeping
moments is the spirit of this, their
show. For most of these young
thespians live on Roanoke Island,
and feel, rightly, the pride and re-
sponsibilities of possession. In sew
eral cases, their mothers are in
the cast also, and THE LOST
COLONY is, for them, an inherit
ance, a family affair. Mothers and
daughters use the same dressing
room, and they have a good time
together during the interim be-
tween the scenes in which they
participate. The children bring
color books, dolls, puzzles, games,
books to enjoy during the long
waiting periods between their
scenes, and the mothers use this
time to catch up on the news, to
visit, to enjoy vacation from

How Hot

Heading for Mexieo7 Don't forget the fire extInsussr

AMERICAN TOURISTS have dis
covered Mexico with a vengeance in
recent years. In increasing thousands,
they are scum ing South Of the Bor-
der Just as fast as their little feet can
carry them.
Pepe Romero, eminent Mexico City
journalist, warns tourists, however,
that certain precautions are prudent.
Take tamales, for instance. There
is a marked difference between U.S.A.
tamales and those served in his own
land. In the States they merely are
hot; in Mexico, they're still sizzling
ten minutes after you've eaten them.
There Is one restaurant In Aca-
puIco, where, If three customers are
eating hot tamales 1T the same time,
the automatic sprinkler system goes
on.
co a PRIMITIVE TOWN 200 miles
south of the Rio Grande, a tourist
noticed a native squatting lazily in
the shade and asked him, Gould you
tell me the timer The native yawned,
reached up to his burro, idling in
front Of him. and lifted the animals
tail. "Senor," he announced, "Ees
exactly I0:37a.m." Then he promptly
went back to sleep.
The tourist walked a few steps to
the plaza, checked with the clock on
the cathedral tower and discovered
that the time indeed was 1887 am.
Returning that way some hours
later, he observed that neither the
native nor his burro had moved six
inches. Again he requested the time.
Again the native lifted the burro's
tail, and droned, ''Ees exactly 4::5l
pm" Again the cathedral clock veri-
fed his calculation.
This is amazing" marveled the
tourist. Would you tell me how you
can ascertain the exact time by merely
lifting that fool burro's tail?''

"Ees simple" the native assured
him. ''When I leeft tail, l can see

ANOTHER AMERICAN VISITOR
actually bought burro while he was
in Mexico, but disillusion soon set in,
and he inserted this classified ad in
the local daily:
'sMy burrO for sale cheap. Can be
seen evenings in my vegetable gar
den or heard within q radius Of three
miles any morning about $50"
POLITICAL TRANQUILITY has
brought radical changes in Mexico.
