Kins ton, N. C., March 21st?From
the time when the first British ships,
hardly larger than Columbus' tiny
carvels, first crept into an Eastern
Carolina inlet in quest of a fair new
homeland for English pioneers until
the present, the fiat green country
from the ocean's rim to the first un
dulations of the Piedmont has been a
region rich in history. This history
is being dramatized by hundreds of
patriots, chosen for their historionic
ability, for presentation in one of the
most novel stage spectacles ever seen
in America, and easily the largest
thing of its kind ever produced in
this part of the country. The Eastern
Carolina Chamber of Commerce is
promoting the venture, with Miss
Olive Jackson, of New York and At
lanta, as the,director. Miss Jackson,
extensively experienced, seys the un
dertaking is the most ambitious of
her careen she believes it will be the
most successful. Newell G. Bartlett,
Secretary-Manager of the Chamber of
Commerce, is optimistic, while 13
separate aggregations of local-talent
actors involved are enthusiactic over
thfev prospects.
The pageant will feature the pro
gram of April 11th at the sectional
exhibition, formally known as the
Eastern Carolina Exposition, to be
held here the week ofi^pdil 7th-12th,
under the auspices of the Eastern
Carolina Chamber of Commerce.
Preparations were started early in
the year. Actual rehearsals have
been in progress for seme time.
Saboraie plans for the costuming in
the spectacular history ofties^
tion. The 18th nidi 19th centuries
were proiflSir of thrilling occurences
in the territory.-; "?
" Since first the Lost Colony claimed
a new nation for England and van
ished, generations of celebrities, In
dian wars, pjfptiffi hosts,, colonial
patriots who led the way for ?0 the
rest of the country in acclaiming
freedom, schools of statecraft, spec
tacular campaigns of the eivai war,
the rousing era of reconstruction, knd
the birth of a new industrial and agri
cultural empire have flashed on and
off the screen in the march of events
hi Eastern Carolina. "Almost every
chronological feature will be por
trayed in .{his pageant," Bartlett said
today-. "It will take a thousand peo
ple to carry out the undertaging.
Miss Jackson has the entire cast thrill
ing to the t&skT We expect to at
. tract an audience of thousands to the
exposition with this.

give the servicemen an option-between
a cash payment and the insurance
