Court on Tuesday.
Johnson, 10, related in court
that he was knocked unconscious
outside the Diner Bell at Mays
Head when his head was lashed
by belt and buckle swung at
him, by Perry, for no apparent
reason. Johnson said that he
drank several beers at the Din

PLANE CRASHES
NEAR SCENE OF
WRIGHT FLIGHTS
Pilot Suffers Minor Injury in
Kill Devil Hills
Mishap

Kill Devil Hills had it's SECOND
plane crash Tuesday.
AS in the first one, damage
was chiefly to the plane.
Allen w. Watts of Goldsboro
plotting a rented Cessna 172
came down. for visit to the
Dare beaches. He spied the
Wright Memorial, and flew over
for a closer look.
North of the monument there
is a considerable level area
Watts circled the area once,
then. came back and flew close to
the ground, looking for land
ing place. He found none, and
gunned his motor to raise.
The motor failed to respond.
The plane dipped, nosed into the
sand and flipped over.
Others on Plane
Aboard, besides Watts, were
his wife, Mrs. Jean Watts,
daughter, Beverly, 8, and her
playmate, Linda Carter, 9.
Watts suffered only a skinned
shin. The others were unhurt.
Damage to the plane included a
crumpled fuselage and nose and
wings SCARED up. 1t was es-
timated at $1,000 or more.
A friend flew down from
Goldsboro in the afternoon to
take the stranded party home,
and the damaged plane was tow
ed away for repairs. The acct
dent took place about HAS
am, and National Park Service
rangers were quickly on the
scene to render assistance.
Near Flight Marker
So far as could be learned,
the crash, which occurred about
800 feet southwest of the First
Marker-the spot where the
Wrights took off on the worlds
first plane flights-was the first
since December II, 1903.
During their fourth flight on
tn at m mora b lie day, the
Wrights' plane was wrecked
when strong gust caught it
and whirled it over and over.
At various times during the
intervening years, planes have
landed in the vicinity of the
Wright Memorial without mis-
hap.

The Lost Colony, Paul Green's
brilliant drama of the New
World, will premiere it's Silver
Anniversary Year on Sunday at
8:15 pm, with Luther Hodges,
Secretary of Commerce, Roberto
Compos, Brazilian Ambassador
to the United States and William
Friday, President of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina as spec
tators, in the pine-encircled new
Waterside Theater on Roanoke
Sound.
Edgar Thomas, business man
ager for the production stated
on Thursday that: "We believe
this year, the 375th Anniversary
of the birthdate of Virginia
Dare and the 25th Anniversary
of The Lost Colony will be re-
membered as one of the most
exciting and memorable ever ex-
perienced by our audience" eve
are doing our utmost to ensure
its success, but realize that our
efforts will be futile without the
support of the people of the
Dare Coast :. who have always
been the real heroes of this
DRAMA" Thomas stated.
The new manager has en-
phasized that "every effort will
be made to make Sunday, our
opening night, a memorable
evening for those present. I"
"Ralph Swain, Dare's decoration
chairman has done a magnifi-
cent job," he said. The manager
noted that nearly 200 Eliza
bethan flags bearing the Cross
Of st. George will be flying
on the, stores and streets
way to Fort Raleigh.
On Sunday evening, Secre-
tary Hodges, Ambassador Com
pos and President Friday will
witness a star-studded cast
create anew the stirring dream
of a nations destiny on the
shores of Roanoke Island. "We
are overwhelmed by the influx
of brilliant talent with US this
year." he said.
We believe that the people
here on the coast, who are the
real critics of the play, will
share our delight in the vivid
performances by such new
corners as Jeff David, "Old

CHANCEOVER IN
TELEPHONE FACILITIES
EFFECTIVE ON JULY |
Roanoke Island Gets Dial System Along With
TolI-Free Service To and From Dare
Beaches; Great Improvement for Hafteras
Island; Microwave Towers 60 Into Service
for Long-Distance Usage.

One of North Cardinals last
manual telephone exchanges will
become automatic next week
when the Manteo exchange of
the Norfolk and Carolina Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
changes to the dial system.
The change is part of a half
million dollar program of ex-
pansion completed by the COM
pany in Dare County this year
to provide better telephone serv-
ice to a growing area.
Accompanying the change in
service will be a 25-cent per
month increase in rates. The rate
hike was established by the
North Carolina Utilities Com
mission along with a rate re-
duction for Hatteras Island re-
Gently. Both rate changes be-
come effective July first along
with changes in telephone serv-
ice.
AS Manteo and the beach area
switch to the dial system, five
new microwave towers at Man
teo, Kill Devil Hills, Mamie,
Coinjock, and Elizabeth City will
connect the Dare area to the
company's main office in Eliza
beth City where eventually an
other microwave circuit will con-
meet with Norfolk. The towers,
which beam signals in a straight
line from one to another, eli
inmate the necessity for land
lines and are supposed to be
hurricane proof.
AS Dare County telephones be-
come fully automatic, free serv-
ice will be provided direct be-
tween Manteo and the Dare
beach area. To call Manteo from
the beach, customers will first
dial "7'' and then complete the
Manteo number. To call the
beach from Manteo, it will be
necessary to first dial "44" be-
fore dialing the beach number.
L. S. Blades, Jr., President of the
telephone company, warned GUS
toners to consult their new
directory until the new system
becomes completely familiar.
Blades also commented that
the Manteo rate hike will bring
rates up to those paid by Hert-
ford and pointed out, "The adj
dition of the beach area will
give them 100 more phones in
their free area than Hartford
has," Beach rates will not in
crease, nor will ten-party line
rates in Manteo since they al
ready equal Hartford rates.
An additional service offered
in the beach area for the first
time will be seasonal telephone
rates. Previously the company
has maintained a policy of a
minimum 12-month contract for
telephone service. The policy will
be discontinued in favor of pre-
MUM rates for seasonal service.
Under the new policy if phone
is kept one month, the charge
will be a three-month's billing;
the second months charge will
be equal the amount due for

The Senator, Mrs. Hart
said, sis perfectly happy
bout it-up to now. He's de-
lighted with my taking all
the physicals. It's good to find
out how healthy you are"
Mrs. Hart didn't say so, but
one gets the impression that
perhaps the Senator hadn't
taken the possibility of her
going into orbit too seriously,
and that if he did take it
seriously, he wouldn't like it.
He said, Fine, if we
can all go up together-but
it would have to be an
awfully big piece of equip
ment to get all 10 Harris up
there at once" Mrs. Hart
related.
HE doesn't sit there and
worry about what would hap
pen if that thing went up
with me on the front end of
it," she said. II guess he'd
be a little tense, just as Mrs.
Glenn was. But she wasn't
too worried, because she knew
all about it. They certainly
did a good job at keeping
those astronauts' wives we'll
informed.
If she actually was to be
told. you are the one," jamie
Hart unused, she doesn't know
if she could convince her huS-
band that the odds on re-
turning from that trip are
as good as when getting in
the car to drive to Michigan
on the turnpike. There are
so many more uncertain fac
tors on the highway.
Il wouldn't be the least
bit interested myself in going

would come back" she added
earnestly. There's no point

Liturgy in which the people
do not participate. 1t is con-
sidered as a separate part of
the Liturgy and its Individual
ity is shown by certain char
acteristics such as celebration
behind closed doors, if there
is an Iconostas "a screen sep
arating the sanctuary from
the nave of the church,.
NOTWITHSTANDING the
Iconostas, the preparation is
still performed at a side altar
within the sanctuary if there
is enough room in the Sanctu-
airy.
In a very brief manner here
are the highlights of the Rite
of Preparation or Proskome-
dia. The priest proceeds to a
little side altar. makes three
bows, and begins by selecting
leavened bread prepared
especially for the Sacrifice.
This bread is cut into vari-
Gus pieces, one a larger
square seal representing the
Lamb of God bearing the
words &c &c nj KA "Jesus
Christ conquers." This seal is
pierced with a lance and as
the priest pours wine and wa
ter into the chalice the SYM
bolic meaning of the act is ex.
planned by the words uttered:
