with the visit and praise of an
outstanding professional with such
long experience and ability. Some
consider it was just what was need
ed to pep up the actors and con-
vince them they are doing a worth
job.
Praise from a high source is
helpful indeed to those who are
merely in the show for the sea-
sons fun, as well as those who,
like others through the years, are
headed for Broadway after expert
ence gained at Waterside Theatre.
The introduction of Sidney
Blackmer, back home to his native
land, was superbly done by DIR.
Graham. The introduction in itself
was inspiring and helpful to audi
ence as well as actors. Following
the performance, all visitors, in
Guiding Mr.. and Mrs. Terry San
ford as well as members of the aui-
ence, participated in a party where
everyone was introduced.
Mr.. Blackmer was accompanied
by his beautiful wife, the actress
and producer, Suzanne Kaaren. She
is native of South Australia. They
came to Kill Devil Hills Friday as
the guests of the Morrisons at
their summer cottage, and were
honored at a luncheon at the Dare
DINA Saturday at noon which was
attended by several leaders of the
Lost Colony cast, invited to meet
the famous couple.
Saturday evening, the party was
entertained at dinner at the Car
Gilman, which was also attended by
the Sanfords and DR.. and Mrs. Ora
ham.
Sunday afternoon, the Blackmers
and the Morrisons drove back to
Washington. There was much APP
probation expressed locally, for
the generous aid of the Morrisons
in bringing Mr.. and Mrs. Black
mer to Roanoke Island, and which
it is believed will prove an immense
contribution to the spirit and sue
cess of the show this season.
The Blackmers have two sons,
Brewster and Jonathan who are
making encouraging beginnings in
the theatrical world. While the
children were growing up, the
Blackmers made their home on So.
Fulton St., Salisbury, N. c. They
are now engaged in summer the
atre work in Hinsdale, Ill.
Mr.. Blackmer has appeared in
some 200 moving pictures, and not
merely 20 as appeared by error in
these columns last week.

HAYMAN SCORES FOLLY
OF WRITE IN CAMPAIGN
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
The organized drive for write
in campaign for DIR. /. B. Lake for
Governor is astonishing to simple
loyal Democrat like me, who be-
lieves profoundly in the two-party
system in general and the Demo
cratic party in particular, as the
party of the people. I had always
thought that, if you took part in
party primary, you were normal
ly bound to abide by the results of
the primary.
l recall the example of another
candidate defeated in the second
primary in 1850. Senator Graham
had plurality of some $4,000 over
his three opponents in the first
primary but was defeated by ma
jority of 10000 in the second prim-
airy. Not only would he have no
part in a movement for a proposed
WRITTEN campaign for him but made
clear his acceptance of his defeat
without bitterness by speaking in
different parts of the State in sup
port of the whole State and ma
tional Democratic ticket. AS 1 re-
call he accompanied Chairman
Everett Jordan, nominee Willis
Smith, former Senator Umstead
and others in support of the whole
Democratic ticket. Hundreds Of
thousands of his loyal friends, in
spite of our deep disappointment
voted for the whole Democratic
ticket.
l hopefully look for DR.. Lake to
speak in different sections of North
Carolina in support of the State
and national Democratic ticket. DR..
Lake is an honorable man. He has
been honored as Assistant Attorney
General of North Carolina as a
Democrat. He took his honorable
nomination for Governor.
The write-in campaign will not
now elect DR.. Lake Governor; it
can only help the Republican
Party.
1t is my belief that DIR. Lake as
a loyal Democrat will now make
clear his full acceptance of the
results of the two Democratic
primaries and will therefore speak
out now in different parts of the
State in support of the whole State
and national Democratic cicket.
With faith in DR.. Lakes speak
ing out for the whole ticket now
as a loyal Democrat and with
faith in the Democratic Party as
deeply needed now by our State
our country and the whole free
world, l am,
Sincerely,
DEWEY L. HAYMAN

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

yDixie Guide, Gulfport, Miss.)
The Democratic Convention was
a complete dud to this istener-in-
How any self respecting states
rights Democrat can support the
ticket and the platform, as re-
spectively nominated and adopted
at Los Angeles, is beyond this pen
pusher's comprehension.
The Democratic Party is South
ern product, founded by Thomas
jefferson and sustained by Andrew
Jackson and other worthless. There
isn't a single vestige of the Demo
cratic Party that has survived. 1t
has in our time been appropriated
by the big-city bossed machines.
big labor, hyphenated Americans
and the NAACP.
1t is our opinion that if the Re
publican Party has the good sense,
and we doubt it, to omit any men
ton of Civil Rights in its platform,
and would put on its ticket some
conservative like Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona, or Bracken
Lee, mayor of Salt Lake City, it
would sweep the South and the
Nation.
Never before has the time been
more propitious for party of
principle and conviction to come
forth. Seldom before has it been
easier for the South to be had.

THE WARRENS. LINDSAY AND
CHARLES END VACATIONS

Senator and Mrs. Lindsay War
rem left Kill Devil Hills for their
home in Washington, D. c., after
a week at the Croatan, where they
have stayed for many years on
their annual beach vacation. They
were joined at the beach by their
son Charles, and his wife of Wash
ington, D. C. For many years, both
the Warrens visited among the
Coast Guadsmen and made warm
friends, and from these came many
visitors to call on them during their
stay at the beach. Their vacation
included trip to Hatteras, as is
usual, each summer.

In all, IL states were represented

The bottleneck at the ferries is
proving costly to Hatteras Island
business in discouraging visitors
who would often lose time in go
ing down, and never certain about
how much time they may lose
when they prepare to leave. Ocra-
coke Island has been more fortu-
nate this year than ever, and is
swamped with business that al
ready taxes its fast expanding
accommodations. The establishment
of ferry service between the is
land and Carteret County has
helped increase business. But this
ferry is filled each trip, and res
ervations often must be made in
order to get away on this boat,

GARDEN

The Elizabethan Garden

On the eastern shore of Roam
oke Island, on land adjacent to the
Lost Colony, outdoor drama thea
ter, is a garden unique in Ameri-
ca. 1t was created by the Garden
Club of North Carolina as a me-
mortal to. those Elizabethans, in
GLIDING the Lost Colony, who came
to our shores in 1584-1590 to plant
a bit of England in this New
World.
The garden was conceived by
Mrs. Charles Cannon and Mrs. Ing
lis Fletcher, the famous historical
novelist, and Sir Evelyn Wrench,
founder of the English Speaking
Union.
The Elizabethan Garden is fam
tasy, garden that might have
been built by the early colonistS,
had they survived. For it is de-
signed and planted in the style and
spirit of the Elizabethan Era.
The 10h acres, beautifully land
scaped, stretching from the shore
of Roanoke Sound to the State
Highway, embrace some of the
most beautiful garden features to
be found anywhere, the sunken
garden with it's circular fountain
and beautiful statues, steps, balus-
trades and wellhead surrounded by
the ancient brick wall add true
Elizabethan touch.
The Great Lawn is bordered by
the Presidents Walk, memorials to
past presidents of the Garden Club
of North Carolina. The Garden is
open the year round and the pro-
fuse paintings are designed to give
pleasure to the visitor in every
season. In early summer the Gar
denia Walk, welcomes the visitor
graciously with its wax like blooms
and nostalgia fragrance, then by
midsummer, Oleander and Crepe
Myrtle add flamboyant color
against richness of the Southern
Magnolia. AS the leaves turn red
in fall, visitors win be interested
to see how many varied forms and
colors the holly family can pro-
vide, from yellow berries to deep

DAKE PUPILS MUST
REPORT SEPT. lST. |
FOR REGISTRATION
First Full Day Of School viii Be
On September 3; Other
Information

Mrs. Dennis +. Evans, Superln-
tendent of Dare County Schools,
has announced the following sched-
ule for the opening of schools:
Thursday, September 1: County
wide meeting of all teachers and
principals from 900 am, to 1900
noon. The meeting will be held at
the Manteo High School. Following
the countrywide meeting the teach
ers will report to their respective
schools for meetings with their
principals.
Friday, September 2: Children
will report for registration, paying
fees, getting books, etc. This will
begin at 900 am, and continue
until 1900 noon. Children will be
dismissed at noon. School buses will
operate.
Monday, September 5: Labor
Day-NO SCHOOL.
Tuesday, September 6: S:45 a.m.-
3:15 pm. First, regular full day
of school. Lunchrooms will be open.
Mrs. Evans, has also asked that
parents and school children be re-
minded of the following matters
pertaining to the opening of the
1960-61 school term which officially
begins on Friday, September 2: AS
singment of New Students: No stu
dent may be enrolled in a school
in Dare County unless he has been
assigned to that particular school
by the Dare County Board of Edu-
cation. Parents of children who
have not been assigned are urged
to make application for assignment
in the superintendent office. This
is particularly important for stu
dents entering the first grade and
for students who have transferred
to Dare County since the close of
the 1959-60 school term.
Requirements for First Grade
Enrolment: 1t is necessary for a
child to become six years of age on
or before October Is in order to
enter school for the 1960-61 school
term. The attorney general has
ruled that any child born on Octo-
Der 16 would become six on October
Is and would, therefore, be eligible
for admission to the first grade.
In addition to the age requirement
all first graders must be assigned
to school by the Board of Edu-
cation, must present a birth GER
tificate and must have been vac
cinated for small pox, typhoid,
whooping cough, diptheria and
polio.
School Bus Routes: Students who
are planning to ride school buses
during the. year are expected to
ride the buses on Friday, Septem-
Der 2 and Tuesday September 6.
1t is impossible to know the exact
number of students on. a bus route
until the bus begins operating and
until all CT the students on the
route actually ride the bus. 1t may
take several days to eliminate all
the problems connected with bus
routes but parents and students can
help in the following ways:
/. Ride school buses the first few
days if you are planning to ride
them during the year.
2. Leave automobiles home for
the first few days.
3. Report any bus route problem
to the principal (not the superin-
tendent) and allow few days to
have the problem corrected.
