the failure of his friends to get

AS thinking people look for

81 100000 bridge job on Alliga-
tor River which is expected to be
well underway before the year is
gone. This will doubtless be a
strong bolster to the economy of
all the area through a 4O-mile
perimiter circling through the
counties of Dare, Hyde, Tyrrell
and Washington, and will give
employment to numerous workers,
and stimulate many commercial
benefits.
At Oregon Inlet, dredging work
will continue through the early
part of the year, to be followed
by probable letting of contract
for a bridge late in the year.
Dredging work will also be car
ried on in early 1860 at Engel-

through the next years with con-
siderable expenditure.

stories in the source Of play
titles. One such is how Peter
Shaffer. of England, came to
call his upcoming Five Fin
ger Exercise" by that title.
Mr.. Shaffer was completely
stuck for a label for the work
which was London's best play
last season. So completely at a
loss indeed that he had put
all thought of it out of his
mind. BY way OF occupying hlm-
self with other, If lesser, things,
one Of his favorite diversions
became playing piano again.
This led him one day to I'm
gering his way through some
of the basic technique books
which he used in his early days
of music study. 1t was we'll
down the pile of these that
one day he came to a piece
labeled tersely Five Finger
Exercise"

bered suddenly that his play
had five characters, inter-re-
lated in their actions as notes
in music, and realized he had
the title for his play. This is
