ISLAND AREA is the one recently
announced by Governor Sanford,
made to provide for future genera
tions an improved area about the
site of the first settlements by
English speaking people in the
New World. Old Fort Raleigh is at
last to receive proper recognition
because of the interest of the ma
tional park service, financed by
funds contributed by this patriotic
couple and the state of North Car
Dina, who gave matching sums to-
falling a quarter million dollars, to
pay private land owners for the
land necessary for the expansion
and improvement of the area to be
administered by the National Park

Morrison have been greatly attach
ed to the Dare County coast, spend
ing a great deal of time at their
vacation home at Kill Devil Hills.

terested in the Lost Colony; in
great measure Mrs. Morrison is
largely responsible for arousing the
new interest in the Roanoke Island
Historical Association that has re-
vitalized the show, and rescued it
from what appeared to be obsoles-
cence. Today, the show is being
given new theatre by the National
Park service, at cost of $40, 900
and it will be in use next season.
Mrs. Morrison, is brilliant wo-
man and a tireless worker. She has
been active in many important Soc
ial and political projects in Wash

She is nationally known and highly
regarded and for two years she
headed with distinction the North
Carolina Society in Washington, ar
ranging numerous exceptional fea-
lures in honor of prominent North
Carolinians. Among these celebri-
ties featured at a society function
were Mr.. and Mrs. Andy Griffith,
stage and screen star of Hollywood,
and Roanoke Island. Both of them
