He came last week in the form of a brenze statue. Governor James E. llolsho- user Jr. will unveil the statue at 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 3. in ceremonies at rhe newly-com pleted Bicenicnnial Plaza acr oss from the Legislative Build- Taking part also will be Grace J, Rnhrer, secretary of the N. c. Department of Cultural Resourses; Elizabeth Fentress, representing the N. C. Bicentennial Committee; and Moussa Demit, director of the N. C. Museum of Art. Holshouser will introduce the statue’s sculptor, Bruno Lucchesi of New York. In 1901 school children from all over North Carolina were asked to coniribute pennies to erect a statue to Raleigh. The idea caught on, and the youngsters eagerly deposited ihier pennies, nichels, dimes, and quarters in order to, in the words of Durham banker Gen. Julian S. Can, "acknowledge our debt to genius and enter prise after three long centuries -- so will we honor virtue, elevate our state in the regard of man-kind and inspire our children with the lessons that build character.” Under the auspices of the group called the Sir Walter Raleigh Commission, the mo ney grew, but was never put to use. Part of the money was lost ThTd Ce>'trurv Arr'sr ro Ti The 3rd Century Artist Program for Robeson proposes to offer the following: Lectures on Robeson County history, with a view toward more appreciation of those ' who have oi««>Butshed them selves therein; lecture on creative writing; lectures on the history of the American Indian; lectures on the writing of poetry; help for students doing research in these areas; collection and disemination of folklore materials covering the area; collection and disemina tion of information on noted Robesonians of today; a care ful and thorough cataloging of notables in Robeson County’s contemporary "people much in the news;” limited help for students writing term papers, essays, etc.; start accumula ting a collection of taped interviews with interesting people of the area; start accumulating a collection of photos of interesting people of the area; the mechanics of writing poetry- lectures; work ing with teacher’s workshops.

Luccesi fashioned a three and one-half fool (all mode! in New York; then took the mode! to Pietrasanto, Italy, near his birthplace, to have an enlar gement made and cast in bonded bronze. The 11 -foot-statue arrived in Raleigh last week by truck Irom Baltimore where it had arrived by ship from Italy Lucchesi inspected his work and discovered only a little "dusting” was necessary to remove action of the salt air on the statues bronze coating. A concrete pedestal is being erected for the statue. A reception for donors of the pennies, the sculptor & other officials will be held from 8 to 10 p.m. (Dec. 2) at the N. C. Museum of Art. Several original donors are expected to be present for the ceremonies along with many North Carolinians who are pleased that the pennies of school children have finally been put to use after more than three quarters of a century, honoring, during this bicentennial year, the man who planted the first English- speaking colonies in America.
