Paul Green, the noted Pulitzer prize-winner who wrote “The
Common Glory,” is the author of “The Founders,” a new outdoor
historical drama which will be presented next year by the James
town Corporation, an educational, non-profit organization, as a special
feature of the 1957 Jamestown Festival. “The Founders,” an entirely
new symphonic drama, deals with the 1607 settlement of Jamestown.

Raleigh. — There were 1380
drivers involved in fatal automo
bile accidents in North Carolina
last year. A study by the State
Department of Motor Vehicles
shows that drivers in the 25-34
age bracket were involved most
frequently. In that bracket, 372
drivers were at the wheel at the
time of the fatal accident. Other
age groups showed up like this:
16-19, 166; 20-24, 308; 35-44, 261;
45-54, 117; 55-64, 68; 65-74, 34;
and over 75, six. Age was not
stated in 44 reports.

against it. Some local parent-teach
er association officials are follow
ing the lead of the executive com
mittee of the North Carolina Con
gress of Parents and Teachers,
which opposed the Pearsall propo
sals before the special session of
the legislature.
In a radio speech last week-end,
Mrs. John W. Crawford of Raleigh,
president of the state parent-teach
er .'roup, explained that action of
the executive committee was not
binding on local associations. She
said however, that the committee
“After careful study, decided the
Pearsall Plan is in conflict with
the purpose of parent-teacher or
ganizations in its endeavor to se
cure for every child the highest ad
vantages in physical, mental, social
and spiritual education. We came
to the conclusion that the propos
ed amendment might not serve as
a ‘safety valve’ but, instead of
maintaining segregation, it would
tend to hasten and force integra
tion in the public schools.” The
executive committee’s statement
concludes “We believe that public
schools must be maintained!”
The other three amendments to
be voted on Saturday are as fol
lows:
No. 1. To increase pay of mem
bers of the General Assembly from
$10 per day for 90 days to $15 per
day for not more than 120 days;
also to allow subsistence and
travel allowances as provided by
law.
No. 2. To change date for con
vening General Assembly from
January to February.
No. 3. To allow wife to exercise
power of attorney when conferred
by her husband.
