Attendance At Lost Colony Ahead Os *52 At Half-Way Mark 4,- 090 More Than Last * Year Lost Colony’s attendance as of the current 13th season’s half, reflects that attendance this year is 4,090 ahead of the same date in 1952, ac cording to figures released by General Manager R. E. Jordan. This is a 17 per cent increase over the 1952 sea • son when total attendance for the year was between 45,000 and 46,000 paid admissions. Th nightly average through August 4 was 830 paid admissions each night this year as compared to 702 nightly average last year, or an increase of 128 persons each night. Increase in attendance this year is credited largely to more local and out of state promotion. Parking lot offi cials have checked license plates from each of the states and several terri tories and the Fort Raleigh Museum registry indicates that many persons from foreign countries have been in the audiences this vear. Luck of the Lost Colony failed on one night when it was necessary to cancel a performance due to rain. “This was only the 17th rainout dur ing the drama’s long history which started in 1937 and has continued each summer since that time except in the four war years,” said Jordan. Since 1937 there have been 623 performanc es which gives The Lost Colony the distinction of being the longest lived outdoor production in the world. The total attendance through Aug ust 4 this year was 26,573 as compar ed to 22,843 last year, it was pointed out.

Insects In Your Home Costs Lot Os Money Ever opened your cupboard and dis covered a family of insects had gotten their first, and had taken possession of your food supply? Well, accord ing to the Department of Agriculture, you were not the only one to have this experience Every minute of the day, insects are chewing, sucking and biting away at our livestock, our gardens, our food supply . . . and at us! Just how much damage they do each year is impossible to determine. However, the Department of Agricul ture estimates that in 1938 the dam age caused by some 60-odd types of insects in our country amounted to over $1,601,527,000 . . . and that was , based on 1938 prices, not today’s high prices. Mosquitoes, house flies, ticks and ; fleas exact a toll in human disease, efficiency and money. Food and homes . suffer, too. Food is infested and ruin ed, clothing is damaged, and even the ! timbers in our homes are damaged. Losses from insects add up to a stag ■ gering amount in the United States ■ each year ... an estimated four bil i lion dollars!
