I President Plans Also to Attend Pageant Following Anniversary Exercises On Roanoke Island August 18th August 1 ?S111 may he as big a (lay for Elizabeth City as for Roanoke Island, if tentative plans for President Roose velt's visit to Roanoke Island on that dale are carried out, for the president plans to come to Elizabeth City by spe cial train and proceed to Roanoke Island from Elizabeth City on a 1. S. Coast (luard cutler. The president issued a bulletin to the press yesterday aft ernoon expressing enthusiasm for the trip and made it known that lie hopes to remain over to see the pageant, "The Lost Colony," on the night of the IXlh, after the day's ceremonies. lie would leave Roanoke Island immediately after the pageant, going to Portsmouth where he would embark on the presidential cruiser Potomac for Washing ton. Norfolk and Portsmouth would have to stay up until midnight to so much as get a glimpse of him. The hour of the president's arrival in Elizabeth City on the morning of the lSth is not known, but it probably will be early in the forenoon. The president could leave Wash ington at midnight of the 17th and be in Elizabeth City in time for breakfast. It will be a great day for Elizabeth City. Rut it must be remembered that the plan is tentative, which means that while the president favors it, it is not impossible that a contingency might arise making a change of plans desirable. Many wiseacres have been predicting that the president would find a last-minute excuse to abandon the trip altogether; but be certainly wasn't talking that way yesterday. Right now he is planning to come, to make his speech and participate in the exercises incident to the 3.">0th anniversary of the birth of Virginia Daitt, stay over and see the pageant and make it an altogether memorable day for Roanoke Island. 1?? ? ???I President Franklin D.
