Jordan's annual report showed
an improved financial condition
over year ago, despite a con-
tinued deficit at the box office.
Jordan said at least $4,000 will
be needed to open the drama on
schedule next June 25, for a sea-
son set to run until Sept. a.
Of this, $4,000 is expected from
the state which puts up that
amount when a deficit develops
thus, only some $4,000 needs to
be raised. In contrast, some $14,-
500 in debts was on hand at the
end of the 1868 season.
Jordan paid tribute to the
Friends of The Lost Colony, a Dare
County group which raised some
$500 for the drama last season.
David Stick, who headed the
group, read lengthy statement
setting out local sentiment. He
noted local criticism of "The Lost
Colony" management. II feel the
real trouble lies with this board
of directors, and with the failure
to provide for constant iaison and
consultation between the sponsor
ing board and the paid employees"
he said.
Mr.. Stick during the past year
has been board member.
In addition to a harder working
board, Stick sugguested that the
budget be cut as close as possible
to $4,000, the box office receipts
over the past several seasons. Other
ideas he raised included the posi-
bility of an Indian Village, peo-
pied during the summers by
"Croatans" from Robeson County.
Claims have been raised that the

Fruit Cake Helps

DOneness: Fruit cake is baked
when it shrinks slightly from
sides of pan. To test, touch cake
lightly with finger; cake should
spring back without leaving inn
print.
Storing: When cake is cold,
wrap in foil or waxed paper.
Store in an alright container
for aging.
Soaking: Fruit cake recipes
are balanced" to give perfect,
moist cakes. Too much added
moisture will cause sogginess
and crumbling when cutting. If
you do desire added flavor,
brush cold cake very, very light
ly with fruit Juice every or 8
weeks. Wrap tightly. Store in
tight container in a cool place.
Glazing: Heat white corn
syrup to full rolling boil. Brush
over baked, cold cake to
give it handsome glaze. When
firm, wrap cakes in foil; store
in covered containers.

Some forgotten North Carolina
poets and verse-makers of the
nineteenth century have contri.
buted their lively and improbable
poems to Nematodes in My Garden
of Verse, selected by Richard Wal
ser and just published by John F.
Blair, of Winston-Salem.
This book of Tar Heel poems
is the result of Mr.. Walser's redis-
covery of the delights of such poets
as Matte J. Peterson Reuben j.
Holmes, Georgia Bailey PurringS
ton, and Gertrude Perry West.
Many of the poems were first pub
lished in North Carolina news
papers
Mr.. Walser was born in Lexing-
ton, North Carolina and attended
Davidson College and the Univer-
sity of North Carolina. For twelve
years he taught high school Eng
lsh in Linwood,s Lexington, Dur
ham, and Greenville. During the
war he served as lieutenant COM
mander with the United States
Navy in New Guinea and Panama.
In 1858 he was the recipient of a
Guggenheim Fellowship. Since 1916
he has been professor of English
at North Carolina State College.
He is president of the North Car
olina Literary and Historical AS
ISOLATION.

TRAGEDY
Continued from Page One)

bring 'em in today"
The boys took the negro with
them to drive, but the elder son
was driving at the time of the
mishap, and was badly jammed
beneath the steering wheel, his
body partially outside the door.
The younger son was found under
front wheel, and the negro was
crushed in the rear of the car.
The Plymouth had been tossed
some feet off the road, into the
low country which borders all of
U. S. 264 in this area. The motor
was torn out by the impact.
Indications We're that the Ply
mouth had attempted to get out
of the way of the oncoming Ford,
two of its wheels having run off
on the narrow shoulder on its right
hand side.
1t appears that Calbert Gray
and his brother Jimmy had been
headed south toward Stumpy Point,
their old home. Reports give it that
Jimmy had just passed Calbert
barely in time to avoid colliding
with the oncoming Plymouth. Ap-
parently the Ford suddenly swung
Jimmy's car.
The day was thick, and the
road wet from the days rain.
Officers noted the Ford had
been on the wrong side of the
road, and said it had to be driven
at terrific speed, in order to drive
the Plymouth so far from the road,
and to continue some distance far
ther.
Apparently the only living wit
ness to the scene is Jimmy Gray.
Patrolman Fields was assisted
in his investigation by Deputy
Sheriff Donnie Twyne, and Coro-
ner James Vannote.
An inquest was not considered
necessary, the causes of death be-
ing obvious.
The address of the Taylor FAM
lily is 612 Eastern Street, Rocky
Mount. The address of the Negro
Ebert Lewis, 814 West Thomas
Street, Rocky Mount.
Calbert Gray's address is listed
at 901 Butt St., South Norfolk,
Va. His wife is the former Sylvia
Mann, 10, of Manns Harbor, and
is the mother of two small children,
a daughter, Connie Gail and son,
Calbert Dean. He was employed as
a draglfne operator working out
of Norfolk for w. d. Walters Con-
struction Co. Formerly he had
worked eight months for Southern
Materials Co., of Norfolk, on one
of its tugboats.
Rumors that the tragedy result
ed during race between the
brothers on the long, lonely stretch
of highway Saturday evening are
given weight by Calbert Gray's
court record for fast driving and
disregard of traffic rules. He had
been six times in Dare Recorders
Court during 1957-58. In January
1857 he was fined for using i'm
proper license plates, using inn
proper equipment and driving with
broken headlights and no rear
light.
In Jr1nn the same wear he was
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter., 1959-12-04

fined for having no operators
license and for speeding in excess
of IS mph. In March 1858 for il
legal parking. In December 1858
he was fined S25 for driving with
altered operators license, and fin
ally paid off his fine in May 1859.
A warrant was in the hands Of
officers charging him with traffic
violations on Hatteras Island some
weeks before. Several people had
been saying he's soon going to kill
himself or someone else. Officers
say he had not had an operators
license for a long time.

Robson Indians are descended
from the original Roanoke Island
natives and Lost Colony survivors.
But they now insist on calling
themselves "Lumbee Indians" as
the name "CToatans" had grown

gested that foundations might give
financial help if the drama could

It's Time
To Bake
Fruit Cake

Fruit Cake season IS here and
with it comes the never ending
questions about how many cups
of fruit make one pound, how
long to bake a fruit cake, the
best way to store the cakes to
assure moistness and when is
the best time to glaze and deco
rate the cake.
From years past your letters
to me indicate these to be puz-
zling questions. Perhaps my
column today will be helpful.
We've baked many a fruit cake
in our Nancy Carter kitchen
and l believe we've read just
about every cook book on fruit
cakes. However, if I've not an
swered your question, do write

famous Rapacki Plan for an
atom-free zone In Central

large party in the Polish EN-
bassy last night.
Given by Ambassador and
Mrs. Spasowska, the recep-
ton drew a number of United

also the dean of the corps,
Nicaraguan Ambassador
Sevilla-Sacasa.
Foreign Minister Rapacki,
commenting on the British
elections today. said he'd per-
sonally prefer to see a LABOR
Party victory, which probably
would put Aneurin Bevan
into the post of Foreign
Secretary.
But he added that it would
not make much difference
because objective forces" de-
termine British foreign policy.
He explained that, by OBJ
jective forces. ne meant the
British attitude toward Ger
many's possible resurgence as
a military power and Great
Britain's position in NATO.

In a business session, the

without comment a series of
resolutions approving the coun-

were: Library sites, 50 million;

Maryland gradually has been

Man in Fire

The barking of two dogs
helped save a Takoma Park
man asleep in his blazing home
today.
Takoma Park Fire Chief
Raymond Carter said two fires
broke out in the home of Pay
son Gordon, IS. a housepainter
living at 921 Sligo Greek park
way.
The fire chief said Mr.. Cor
don's dogs-a German Shep-
herd and a Weimaraner-
started barking and this
aroused neighbors who sum-
moned firemen shortly before
2 am.
Firemen aroused Mr.. Gordon
but not before he had received
burns on the left leg and upper
thigh and suffered from smoke
inhalation. He was treated
at nearby Washington SAM
tarium.
THE first thing I knew"
Mr.. Gordon said later, "they
were dragging me out of the
house."
Chief Carter reported both
fires apparently had started
from lighted cigarettes. One
was in front of a fireplace in
the living room, where a coffee
table and an overstuffed chair
were burned. The other in
volved a waste basket and
chair near Mr.. Gordon's bed.
the chief noted.
Damage to the house and
contents was estimated by
Chief Carter at about $3.50.
