a colony in the new world by Sir
Walter Raleigh during the reign
of the first Queen Elizabeth. The
show’s scenes, produced on the
huge multi-level stages of Water

to the Rognoke Island wilderness.
Highly trained actors, singers and

there will be no advance in the
price of admission, and groups of
students of the 5th grades in North

drama.—(Lost Colony Photos).
Cincinnati — Sleepy Travis Zel-
lis literally snored his way out of
jail. The 28-year-old man had been
given a 90-day sentence for steal
ing. Soon after Zellis was incar
cerated, however, complaints began
pouring in from the jail staff.
It seemed that Zellis snored day
and night. He couldn’t stay awake
on any job given him. He snored so
much during the day that other
prisoners couldn’t work, and made
so much noise at night they could
n’t sleep.
There was only one way out; he
was released—on probation.

CORNER
Whether you are interested in
getting a pound or a bushel—
peaches should look'-and be good
to eat.
Miss Virginia Wilson, nutritionist
for the N. C. Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says peaches satisfy
the appetite, add color and flavor
to a meal and are high in food val
ue.
When buying peaches, get them
big enough to be meaty, plump
enough to be juicy. Color should
be creamy white or yellow without

’ar greenish Jihge and should have
Blush-red appetizing overtone. Skin
should be smooth and firm without
soft red or brown spots which indi
cate over-ripeness. Over-ripe fruit
may be sweet and juicy but waste
ful to buy in quantities that cannot
be used immediately.
There are white and yellow
peaches in both the Clingstone
(peach flesh clings to stone) or
Freestone (stone pulls away from
flesh). Both are delicious.
In storing peaches, place in the
refrigerator. Handle as little as pos
sible; they bruise easily.
Serve raw in salads, fruit cups,
shortcakes, in ice cream, or just
plain. They’re equally delicious
cooked in pies, puddings, upside-
down cake, cobblers, fritters, or
broiled peach halves to go along
with any meat dish.
A man should never be ashamed
to own he has been in the wrong,
which is. but saying in other words
that he is wiser today than he was
yesterday.—Pope.
