HEADER'S DIGEST (JULY,
1940) FEATURES "THE
LOST COLON*" ?
.1. . . i ; ?
Munlfco, N. C, ? The Reader's
'Digest, popular monthly magazine
which publishes condensations of
articles of lasting interest, fea
tures a story on "The Lost Col
ony," the Paul Green historical
drama now playing its fourth
summer season at the huge Wat
erside Theatre here, in its series
entitled, "Traditional Ceremonies
in the United States."
Condensed from the leading ar
ticle In the June issue of "Hol
land's: The Magazine of the'
South," the material reprinted in
The Reader's Digest concerns the
historical development of "The
Lost' Colony" as a community cel
ebration of the historic events on
the very site of the original col
ony sent over by Sir Walter Ral
eigh in 1587.
"The LoBt Colony" is a non
commercial venture sponsored by
the Roanoke Island Historical
Association. Paul Green, noted
native Pulit?er Prize dramatist,
wrote the drama gratis and sole
ly for presentation by the natives
of Roanoke Island as a sort of
epic drama at the birthplace of
the Nation. More than 250,000
have seen it during tibe past three
years, and 100,000 are expected
before the season closes, Sept. 2.
Halifax County farmers have
increased their production of
small grain tremendously this
year, reports W. O. Davis, farm
agent of t'he N. C. State College
Extension Service.
If France should be cut off
from the American market, the
United States would lose its fifth
best customer for farm products,
says the U. S. Department' of Ag
riculture.
Women get "Build-up"
A good way to relieve periodic dis
comfort from functional dysmenor
rhea due to malnutrition, such as
headaches, nervousness, cramp-like
pain, many women find is by using
CARDUI. It usually sharpens ap
petite, increases flow of gastric
juices, and so aids digestion, helps
l.ui'd resistance to periodic dis
trcfs. Another way CARDUI may
ht'.p you : Take it a few days before
,and during "the time." CARDUI
i.as been popular for 50 years.

On the Credit Side of the Ledger
The advertising campaign of the North Carolina De
partment fcf Conaervation and Development can be
?raditad with increasing substantially revenue* of
the State and income of ita citicena.
V \ f
On the credit aide, the campaign has meant more
tonriata, more factories, more wages, more gaaoline
and aalea tax revenues and more purchasing power
for the State as a whole.
Tourists are now spending more than $100,000,000
annually in North Carolina, nearly three times as
mncb as they spent prior to launching the Advertis
ing Program in 1937.
>?- ?
Investment in new factories and additions to eiiit
ing plants since the campaign started totals approxi
mately $100,000,000. This has meant an increase of
approximately $40,000,000 annually in pay rolls.
Gasoline and sales tax collections from tonri*ts now
total over $1,000,000 annually. From this source
alone the State is receiving $10.00 for every $1.00 in
