Writer Is Delving Into ‘Lost Colony’ Legends — 1 Says Virginia Dare Born On Cedar Island And Not Roanoke BY GERTRUDE CARAWAY NEW BERN, Sept. 7.—Virginia Dare, first white child of English parentage born in the New World was born on Cedar Island in Carte ret county. North Carolina, rather than on Roanoke Island in Dare county, according to Melvin Robin son, a native teacher, historian and writer of Atlantic in Cartaret coun ty . In a 64 page book. “Riddle of the Lost Colony,” now being print ed by the Owen G. Dunn company of New Bern, Robinson endeavors to prove by close scrutiny of origi nal source materials that Cedar Island was the site of the original settlement of John White’s "Lost Colony,” and also the sr.e of the two earlier expeditions sens to America by Sir Walter Raleigh. From his headquarters on Cedar Island. Robinson asserts. Ralph Lane in 1585 explored sections around Albemarle sotns.r am stay ed for a time on wha: is known to day as Roanoke Island From his Albemarle sound expedition he is said to have given his distance to his “home” base as 160 miles, which Robinson declares is a “fair guess” from the sound head waters to Cedar Island. White had been with Lane and when he returned to the New World in 1530 in search of the “Lost Colony” of 1587, he went to Roa noke Island with the fort built there by Lane, according to Robinson’s theory, because he made a mis take in navigation and then be came more interested in the ma terials which had been left there ★ TODAY ONLY ★ DototlfImm w *11})/. f Powell 2nd Manor Hit ★ with AnnSovoge Hugh Beoumont ★ Tom w. and Tues. ★ our of THIS WORLD ★ 2nd Happy Hit ★ ■OtERT LOWERY a JEAN PARKER A f ★ WED.-THURS. ★ | “SIGN OF THE CROSS” Frederic March — Claudette Colbert and Charles Laughton “DON JUAN QUILLIGAN’* William Bendix — Joan Blondell ★ FRIDAY SATURDAY ★ I •HENRY ALDRICH BOY SCOUT” •BUSTLERS OF THE BADLANDS’ 6 Cartoons — Comedy — Serial j Sat.

I WHIU COMPANY STATIONS sponsored BY POTTED 1TATE1 1TEEL by Lane than he was in the folks of the ‘‘Lost Colony.” As a matter of fact, Robinson contends, the Virginia Dare colony was never “lost.” except in the sense that they were not contact ed by White and his fellow coun trymen, who did not seek them in their home base on Cedar Island, for various reasons which Romn son sets forth in detail in his book. Not only did the so-called Lost Colonists survive, the modern au thor maintains, but some of their descendants are still living today in eastern Carteret county as well as other parts of the region. Names of the original .colonists are report ed by him to be still common among pure-bred whites in ' east ern North Carolina. Stating that his research along the line was undertaken “in a pas sion for truth." Robinson says in his foreword to his publication that he earnestly hopes that other his torians and citizens will start similar studies, so that Cedar Is land rather,than Roanoke Island will at long last receive due credit for being the seat of the first Eng lish colonies in America. Southern Passenger Train Is Derailed MACON, Ga., Sept. 7—OP;—Six cars of the Kansas City special fast Southern Railway passenger train en route from Atlanta to Jacksonville. Fla., were derailed early today to Builards Station, 18 miles east of here. A broken rail was blamed. Sev eral pullman cars were scattered across the track but did not over turn. Passengers were thrown from their berths but none were serious ly injured. SCHOOL’S FLOODED CONDITION FLAYED Winter Park Man With draws Child From School; Basement Flooded Declaring that the drainage situ ation at Winter Park “is a crying shame” and reporting that there were three inches of water in the basement of the Winter Park school W. B. Klander, Sr., of the Winter Park Metal Works, yesterday af ternoon said he had withdrawn his daughter from the school and thought the parents of other chil dren should withdraw them until the basement of the school is free of water. Klander asserted that he thought the school should be closed unless the water is removed from the basement. He said he saw tadpoles floating around on the surface of the water in the school. He said that there is eight inch es of water under his home, which is located at 411 Strawberry avenue on the Wrightsville Beach high way, and he added that he had done all that he could do in the way of draining his property. Klander expressed the opinion that expert engineering advice should be obtained before any further drainage work is done o,n a large scale, saying he thought “they are trying to make the water drain uphill.” “I have been residing at Winter Park for 30 years, and the last three years the drainage situation has been worse than ever before,” Klander said. H. M. Roland, supertindent of public instruction, yesterday after noon reported that the decrease in the enrollment at the Winter Park school would do Sway with the ne cessity of using the two rooms In | the basement for class rooms. He said that tne crack in the basement, which caused the water 1 to seep therein, would be repaired ! by the contractor, who had given j a guarantee to the county that the basement would not leak. This work, Roland said, would be done without any expense to the county. When the basement of the school is repaired, this part of the build ing will be used as general utility rooms.
