"Lost Colony" at Manteo opens again in July, and there will be an array of festivals, dances, regattas and other events either in 1946 or 1947. North Carolina, realizing that its tourist "crop" brings in more money than any other crop except tobacco, is launching an aggressive campaign to hold its place which is pre-eminent in the South in dollars, Florida only excepted.

A five-billion dollar year is. forecast by most agencies, with North Carolina's travel industry is gearing itself for the biggest season in history while plans for expansion this year and next are proceeding rapidly. The industry, which brought an es timated $175,000,000 into the state in 1941, peak year, is anticipating as much or more in 1946, according to a survey made by the State Adver tising Division. The expectation is based upon advance bookings, inquir ies, and the predictions of national travel officials. And 1947, when new cars will be on the road and facili ties increased, is already being hail ed as a travel boom year. most of it going into domestic or Latin-America travel.

This movement, however, still continues light Damage in this late harvested stock varies considerably. Some lots do not show excessively heavy damage considering the late date for harvesting, while other lots show a very high percentage of dam age. In the Southeast movement of farmers' stock peanuts to mills has been extremely light Most of the remaining farmers' stock are being held for seed. In the Southeast some mills have ample Beed supplies, while others appear to be a little short The Perquimans . County Schools today gave their stamp , of approval to the extensive educational program now being conducted by the U. S. Armyi Under the Army program, men who enlist are given the opportunity of studying one or more of 200 skills and trades in Army training schools in this country and in over seas theaters throughout the world. "I believe," said Mr. Johnson, Superintendent of Schools, "that the Army is giving many hundreds of thousands of young men educational opportunities they would not be able to afford otherwise. "Far too many young men are un able to complete their high school courses, -and a much smaller percent age have the advantages of college education. The Army plan gives them splendid training while they are in uniform. "Also, after they leave the Army, under the GI Bill of Rights they may have a year's refresher course in a trade or business school, with tuition sdt cons: ;;'. ...

Dynamite Big Noise In Farm Drainage Dynamite is the big noise in farm drainage as North Carolina's rural land owners seek in increasing num bers to save potential cropland from the ravaires of unseasonable weath er, according to toward Ellis, State College Extension Service engineer. Ellis, who has reported two sue cessful demonstrations of ditch dyna miting in Duplin and Onslow counties, says that the type of explosive being used by most fanners now. is about 50 per cent nitro-glyeenn and advis ed that blasting machines rather than the old cap and fuse method should be used in setting; off the charges On the Thigpen farm near Beula- ville, County Agent L. F. Weeks of Kenans ville, demonstrated the ad vantages 01 dynamite By blasting a drainage ditch two and a half feet deep, six feet wide and 250 feet long. A test charge of 22 pounds of ex plosive was first used to, determine how the main charges snould be .placed in order to get the desired ditch pat tern. The cost of this ditching waan about $25 and time required to finish it was about an hour. It was esti mated conservatively that the cost of the same ditch, hand-dug, would have been $100 or more: if labor had been available. Side slopes of the dyna mited ditch assume an angle of about 45 degrees and spoil bank ma terial is thrown over a wide area, rather than piled in mound on the ditch bank. The cost of a similar ditch four feet deep, eight feet wide and 450 feet long on the farm of Clyde Mor ton, Rt. 3, Jacksonville, was about $60 using dynamite. It could not have been dug by hand for less than $150, according to Onslow County Agent C. C. Clark, Jr. Those who enter the Army now may, upon leaving, have a year's college, business or trade school education for each year they serve in the Amiy. "This privilege, plus the refresher couree, means presenting a young man with a total of 48 months of higher education. In other words, a full college course plus cne year of post-graduate study. "The Government will pay up to $500 for each ordinary school year, and also provides a living allowance of $65 a month to single men, $90 a month to married men. "This is a splendid educational boost for the young men of America, and it will undoubtedly mean higher enroll merits in colleges and trade and business schools throughout the nation." ' ftOOK PARTY.
