Melvin R. -Daniels of Mantco out
lined his vic\v" of-local sentiment.
It was the consensus of the meet
ing tlie play, had grown to the .point
where not only the State Govern
ment, but the philanthropy of pro
minent North Carolinians should
be called upon to underwrite the
greater show to the tune of $1(10,-
(lOO if necessary. This thought was
based upon the return it has given
the state first in cultural value, but
next in the thousands brought in
for gasoline taxes, and advertising
of the state.
When “Lost Colony” originaliy
was presented, it had substantial
financial help'from WP.A, CCC and
other federal agencies which no
longer exist. Attendants at the
conference, here said ..they
ask the legislature to establish the
summer-time spectacle as a
ate state agency, or make \V the
responsibility of 'some -existing
agency. Governor Broughton
pledged the support of his admin-
istration to keep the drama alive.
