PAGE EIGHT FHA Day Friday At tost Colony” Scores of Towns Expect ed to Be Represented At Manteo. From the Raleigh office of Cath erine Dennis, state supervisor of the Future Homemakers of America, came the news early this week that scores of towns and communities of North Carolina would have FHA rep resentation at the first annual Lost Colony Future Homemakers’ Day on Friday, August 17. Miss Dennis, her self, and other FHA leaders of North Carolina will be present^ No set program has been arranged for the occasion. “Our main thought is for the future homemakers to see America’s longest-lived outdoor drama, which not only tells the dra matic story of English-speaking America’s beginning, but also the at tempts at homemaking by those brave men and women who came to the primeval wilderness which was Roa noke Island, during the late 16th Cen tury, and attempted to build homes here and found a new nation,” said Miss Dennis. Lost Colony officials became inter ested in honoring Future Homemakers at a special Day at The Lost Colony several months ago. At that time, a newspaperman connected with the drama covered a district meeting of the FHA in Creswell. More than 700 enthusiastic young women attended the meeting in Creswell. But the great number and the great interest shown at that occasion resulted in plans for the first Lost Colony FHA Day which is scheduled for August 17 on Roanoke Island. Archie C.
