By TONY BCTITTIA Sponsors of Paul Green’s his torical drama The Lost Colony, j opening its fifth season on the site ! of the original colony here, July ( 3rd, predict its most successful summer as a result of the nation- j ride interest created by the recent appearance of feature stories on j the famed Lost Colony of Roanoke in sueh publications at The Ladies! Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post. Thousands of letters are pouring rto the office of D. Bradford Fear ing, president of the Roanoke Is- , land Historical Association asking ; for information concerning plans 1 for the new season and accommo- ■ dations on Roanoke Island. The Association sponsors 'J-he Lost Colony in connection with the 3i&th ' anniversary celebration of the Birth of Virginia Dare and the 1 founding of the Roanoke Island 1 colonies. j \ “There has never been such in-1 3 terest in our celebration," Presi- , dent Fearing said, pointing to a pile of inquiries which arrived in the morning mail. “Folks from all over the country are writing to- us. Some still want to know how to get here and what kind of ’ accommodations we have on (Ro anoke Island. Others what nights * the Lost Colony will be given. Many , of them are curious about those-' Dare Stones. I reckon we’ll never * hear the end of them.” j In order to make adequate prep-; * a rations for the big season which : Roanoke Island expects, President Fearing is rushing plans for gfet- ; ting everything in 9hape by July;, 3rd. | \ Many thousands of persons from I all parts of the nation and several foreign countries have witnessed this spectacle of the first Ameri- can pioneers since it was first pre sented in 1937 as the highlight of ' the 350th anniversary celebrations on Roanoke Island. Opening this j year with its 186th The Lost Colony will be presented; nightly from July 3rd through July 13th, then nightly except Mondays and Tuesdays through Labor Day, Sept. 1. } The 1./)st Colony is being pro-; duced this year with the coopera- Lion of both State and Federal gov- , t emments. The latter has desig- } r ated restored Fort Raleigh as a National Historical Site. The t North Carolina legislature, recog-, nizing it as a State institution, , has iust underwritten it to the CX’, _ teht * of SIO,OOO a year if neces- ; s - a ry “to serve as a year-to-year, • guarantee of the continued presen- \ lation of this historical and patri-' otic drama.” Critics from several Broadway, newspapers witnessed the produc-j, t : on last summer, notably Burns, Mantle, of the New Yoric Daily.

DEFENSE BONDS WERE PUT ON SALE MAY FIRST United States Defense Savings Bonds and Postal Savings Stamps were placed on sale in the Man too postoffice here at the open ing- of business on Thursday, May 1, as part of the national ef fort to make America impregnable. Postmaster , Charles R. Evans announced then that plans are fully completed for tliis com munity < along with thousands of others from coast to coast, to do its full part at the opening of the sav ings .program. Postmaster General Frank C, Walker, in a letter to postmasters throughout the country, said that the help of local posmasters would be a “real service to the country." He transmitted the thanks of Sec retary of the Treasury Morgan thau for the help that local post masters had already given in the sale of U. S. securities, and also Mr. Morganthau’s thanks in ad vance “for the cooperation which he knows you will give to this new effort." The new Defense Savings Bond; is similar to the familiar “Baby of which more than $5,000,- 000,000 have been bought by more than 2,500,000 Americans since 1936. A Defense Bond may be pur chased May 1, or thereafter, for $18.75. In ten years, this bond wilt be worth $25. This is an in crease of ,33 Li per cent, equal to an annual interest return of 2.9 per cent, compounded semi-annual ly. Any time after 60 days from the date of purchase the bond may be redeemed for cash, in accord ance with a table of redemption | values printed on the face of the [ bond. } To spread investments widely j among all the people in America,! a limit of $5,000 has been set on j the amount of these bonds to be j bought by any one person in one . year. The bond? are in denomina tions of $25. SSO, SIOO, SSOO, and SI,OOO, all of which are sold for J 75 per cent of their maturity value | and all of which mature in .10, years. i For the smaller investor who j wants to buy a government bond', on an easy payment plan, the post; office will have a new series of postal Savings Stamps at 10 cents. 25 cents. 50 cents, one dollar ami five dollars. Each purchaser of j any Savings Stamp higher than 10 j cent? will be given, free of charge, I an attractive pocket album ini which to paste his stamps until he has enough to buy a $25 bond or one of higher denomination. Thirty million of these albums are now being prepared. The cover design of the albums is in color, featuring a U. S. battle ship and an eagle bearing the Am erican flag. On the back cover is a painting of the Minute Man statue by Daniel Chester French, which symbolizes the American citizen ever alert in defense of his country. The inscription is “Am erica on Guard.” Secretary Morganthau said that even a boy or girl who saved 10 cents to buv a Savings Stamp would help the country. He added that “you can safeguard your own money and your future, while help ing the national defense, by buying U. S„ Savings Bonds now.” WELFARE DEPT. PROPOSE SPEND $8,459 IN HYDE 1941 Increase in Salaries as Re quired by State; Other Notes of Commissioners Welfare Superintendent Eliza beth Lawrence last week presented to the county commissioners her recommendations for the 1941-42 welfare budget totaling $8,459. This is approximately $3,300 more than was used last year. Mrs. Lawrence pointed out to the commissioners that an increase in salaries of some of the office ! help as required by the State was | the reason for a part of the in crease. Also, it was pointed out to the commissioners that the bud get for the NYA center at Engel hard was more than doubled. This increase was asked in order that .the number of girls working at the | camp might be greatly increased. { Recommended appropriations for principal items in the budget, are: j salaries. $1,527; travel in county, j $420; old age assistance, $3,360; aid ■to dependent children, $897; gen jeral relief, $600; and NY’A, S6OO. i Mrs. Lawrence told the com | missioners that $84,787 was spent in Hyde County last year by the State and Federal governments. To get this money the county gov ernment spent only $15,656, ac i cording to the welfare superintend ent. Mrs. Lawrence showed the com missioners that by spending a mere $270 for the sponsorship of the NYA girls center at Engelhard last year that there was $12,171 spent in the county by NYA, giv ing employment to scores of girls that otherwise would have been jobless. The commissioners were told by the welfare superintendent that the increase in the recommenda tions for salaries from $856 to $1,527 was required by the State. Workers in the department it was said would go under civil service after July 1. The commissioners will consider Mrs. Lawrence's recommendations possibly at a special meeting this month, and no later than their June meeting, according to reliable, information. Among other things done by the commissioners was the passing of a resolutiOil donating SIOO to the county band. $75 of this sum wa3 to go to instructor Bob Simmons and $25 was to go for music. Fermer Cherry, rabies inspector and dog tax collector, appeared be fore the board and presented them his bond for SI,OOO. It was ac cepted by the board and ordered filed. THREE WOMEN’S CLUBS HERE HOLD JOINT MEET Members of Columbia’s three clubs for women, the Woman's club, the Junior Woman’s club and the Soros is, held a joint meeting in the annex of the Methodist church in Columbia recently. The three clubs met in separate rooms of the annex for their busi ness meeting before coming to gether to hear the Junior Wo man's club guest speaker, Mrs. J. B. Joyner of FarmvilTe, president of the 15th district of the State Federation of Woman's clubs. Mrs. Joyner praised the three clubs for their initiative and prog ress in the past and singled out two projects of the Woman's club for special comment, the library, project and the paint-up clean-up! parade. She urged that delega tions be sent from here to the state and national conventions which are to be held in the near future. During its business session, the Woman’s cfub voted an appropria tion of $lO to help purchase Bibles for county boys who are inducted } into the Army ; ordered the balance I due on their pledge to the library ; fund paid; made plans for the in stallation of new- officers later on in the month: voted to give the officers and chairmen of the club the “North Carolina Club Wo man” for a year; and ordered a letter sent to the town board and: the NY’A. thanking the two organ- ] ization? for painting the library.] i ONLY FOUR CASES TRIED BY HYDE RECORDER MON.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce Mr. Upton G. Wilson. Some of you already know him by his nowspaper columns; some know him intimately, but the reason that 1 know him is, because he was gracious enough to give me a writ ten Interview, even though 1 have never seen him. For a long time I had heard of him in connection with his sub scription magazine work and, to some extent, had seen short sketches of his unusual and useful life, but never was he made real to me until I read an interesting ar ticle appearing in a Health Bulletin a few years ago, relating to the amazing conquest of life he had made. I wanted to learn more about someone who was so master ful in adapting himself to a situa tion such as has no equal in our State, as far as I have been able to j ascertain. A life that at one time i looked like it was doomed to go, but an indomitable spirit refusing to surrender has made such a life a glorious inspiration, commend ing nation-wide aamLation. I want to describe briefly where Mr. Wilson lives, so you can thor oughly visualize him as he later tells us his story; Up in the Piedmont section of North Carolina in the County of Rockingham, in the suburbs of Madison, in a fine old country home lries Mr. Wilson. Beautiful hills and vales surround this fine old home. The four walls of his room close him in, but far over those hills the story of his beauti ful and exemplary life goes out into the world making us envy such a divine spirit of resignation, pa tience, fortitude and bravery. In deed, it makes mcny who are phys ically fit blush with sname when i they think of their lives not one i half so useful as his. j My reason for asking Mr. Wilson j for his story, is that I feel there I are some w'ho might never have I known him just as he is. Now, we jean read his articles in the differ jent papers and know that we are | reading from the pen of one who : has fought and conquered the 'greatest masters of life, physical and mental agony. Fought and won. You will find that love and gratitude for his family were the greatest factors that made him refuse to die. Much w r e have read of Milton who, blind physically, had inner sight and gazed upon “Paradise Regained*’; Beethoven whose ears were deafened to music, but in wardly heard fcaTmohies which the wmrld still hears and enjoys; and Byron who t in my opinion, was closely akin in some experiences and achievements to our own North Carolina writer. You remember how r Byron fought with and not against his Tameness. Though crippled and handicapped, he climb ed to the summit of Alpine skies. Mr. Wilson, although shut in, still can throw Ms light out help ing us to see—Tying in bed yet, coming to us in his letters and column and Oockleburs,” telling you and me how to obtain and keep that elusive thing called “happiness.” Now, go on with his story; “Madison, N. C. “Dear Miss Lavender: “I am glad to comply with your request. Instead of answering each of your questions separately, however. I shall give you the in formation you wish in a running story. You may use as<much or as Tittle of it you wish. “To begin with, I grew up on a tobacco farm, where money was scarce and work plentiful. My schooling was sketchy. At 19 I feft the farm and went to work for a tobacco company. It was a Big company but my job was small. Two years later I left this job— quit, I did not get fired —and went j to school for six months. Then I got a job as a commissary clerk in Virginia. I worked as a clerk for 18 months and w-as promoted to traveling supervisor of com missaries. There were about 26 commissaries under my supervi sion. Six months later, while stili holding this job, I was shot in my spine. That’s my background, that and parents who taught me that decency is of prime import ance in human existence. I "Os course, when I realized what my future condition would be I vas terribly depressed. At first, though no one believed I would live. The doctors didn’t and told me so. After seven weeks in a I hospital I was sent home to die. j Bus, Miss Lavender. I loved rny people and they loved me. T didn’t want to die and leave them. I wanted to live and enjoy their companionship. | I the struggle that ensued, I won. With my family’s help, I won, that is. Only God can reward them for what they have done for me. An i gels could have been no better to i me than they have been. | “Naturally, at first I was rebel } lious, sensitive; but in time I j learned that to be happy I must , put bitterness aside and train my self to think pleasant thoughts. No j one who keeps telling himself that I fate has been unkind to him can be happy. He must forget his troubles if life is to be tolerable. “It is not only foolish but futile to worry. Wrinkles and unhappi ness are the twin offspring of 4 worry. “Before being injured I bad never written anything, or thought of writing anything. You wouldn't! believe how hard I worked trying • to learn to write. Often it would ! take me an hour to write a single 1 paragraph. It was a case of write j and rewrite. I had an urge to ex press myself but didn't know how. > I “ Well, I have never learned a j great deal about writing, but i' don t have the trouble with it I once did. I can put a sheet of pa-' per in mv machine and write some- ' thing “right off the reel” about al- j most any current question. This, | however, does not imply talent or ■ gift, bat application. One learns ■to write by writing, and in no j other way. I “Adjustment to life in bed has , been gradual. It would be diffi cult to say with exactness just when I did become adjusted to it. Not in one year certainly. “I began soliciting magazine sub scriptions by mail before I tried to learn to write—about a year after I was shot. It was several years I later that I took up writing. “At present I wriie a daily! column for The Winston-Salem j Journal and The Reidsville Review, ‘ and I write an article each month, for The Carolina Co-Operator. I have never submitted anything to magazines with nation-wide circu lation; or .nothing more than a few insignificant paragraphs. “The heading “Pithy Para graphs," which appears over my I stuff in The Co-Operator is sup plied by the publisher. “As for “Ragweeds and Cockle-. burrs," it was chosen for this rea- j son. Ragweeds, as you know, are every’ day sort of weeds, springing up here, there and everywhere and are consequently of little import ance. Well, a lot of stuff that I write is like that. Cockleburrs, on the other hand, have stickers, are adhesive, get under a fellow’s skin sometimes. If a column now and then didn’t have a sticker in it, people would grow tired of it. I have written some things with more sharpness than good feeling and charity, perhaps. “What do I like to read most? Why everything—from the Sun-, day comics to Shakespeare. In fact, I believe I read Shakespeare! more often than I do the comics. But at that I’m not highbrow. I find that reading Shakespeare helps to keep my writing style loosened up—keeps it from getting too tight, too intense. , With every good wish, 1 remain “Cordially and cheerfully yours, “(Signed) Upton G. Wilson." Attend Meeting The following members of the Lake Landing Civic Club attended the good will banquet at the New Holland CCC camp Friday even ing": Mesdames S TVJT.
