OLDEST AND BEST OUTDOOR
DRAMA, THE LOST COLONY
OPENING ITS 18TH SEASON
Many Competitors Have Sprung Up About II,
Burt Time Never Dims The Lustre Nor Takes
Away Appeal Of Paul Green's Ma+chless Story
Of Mystery Surrounding First Settlements By
ENGLISH in The New World.

Saturday night of this, week
marks the most important event
that takes place each year on Roa-
noke Island, and in fact a mighty
important event to all North Caro-
lima. This week it will be the open
ing of the 18th season for Paul
Green's matchless outdoor drama,
The Lost Colony, which is present
ed nightly except Mondays,
through July and August on the
site the first settlements.
The Lost Colony was the first
outdoor drama in the country,
presented first in 1887, i. when
President Roosevelt came to see
it, and continued each year except
for the interruption of World War
III. The number of people who
have seen it now runs to millions;
Its success as a tourist attraction
soon set other towns a-fever for
something like it. And usually the
other regions who have established
outdoor dramas turned to Paul
Green, our beloved North Carolina
genius, for help in writing their
dramas too.
Now, barely 100 miles away,
three similar shows are operating
in Virginia. First established was
THE Common Glory" at Williams
burg. Last year nearby at James
town, a new one "The Founders"
began business. This year Virginia
Beach opens up "The Confederacy."
Western North Carolina long ago
taught the cue, after seeing what
The Lost Colony did to boost tour
st business on Roanoke Island.
And it is presenting some three
outdoor dramas in the mountain
'egions where greater accessibility
% tourist volume has brought
huge success.
Free Bridge Built Lost Colony
Plans had been considered for
some years to establish The Lost
Colony, but toll bridges and ferries
had long been deterrent for it

Uncle Dock From Duck Says
Only Real Wealth We Have is Our Children;
It's Foolish to Allow Them to 60 to Waste.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
l didn't write you a letter last
week for me and the Old Woman
took a little trip. Got back Sunday,
tired and disguised, for anything
good l saw away from home, we
got much better right here.
But | do want to tell you that
l think you are now on the right
track like you never been before,
and that is when you go to talk
ing about what we ought to do
about our schools. l say to you
Mister Editor that we haven't been
trying to do for our schools, and
lot we have thought we were
doing did 'em more harm than
good.

body wants to be on the school
committee any more. Now that, l
lay mostly to this all-fired fever
for consolidation. Used to be when
every neighborhood had school,
there was competition to get on
the school committee in order to
get the teacher to board. Teachers
soon learned it was the smart
thing to board at the home of one
of the committee.
MY old woman wouldn't let 'em
board at our house and so l never
got on the committee.
Mr.. Editor l do want to say that
we being all poor folks more or
less in this part of the country,
about the only real wealth we got
is our children. About the only
thing we can leave them when we
die is an education. Not many of
our children will be able to find
money enough to go to college, SO
about all the learning that 80 per
cent of 'em can get is a high
school education. There's no reason
we can't give 'em a good one ii
we try.
You might say. it's because

should have more done for it than
another; or to put it the other
way round, ! don't think we ought

What we, ought to do is to do

There is too much of this "spe-

nobody is any specially better than
anybody else unless he makes HIM
