VIRGINIA DARE
TO RETURN HOME
Statue To Be Taken Back
To Manteo After Long
Years fat Raleigh
RALEIGH, May 17.—Virginia
Dare is back to Manteo- -
some :iSO years after she was
born somewhere down iri that
section, the first English girl ov
er to draw her first breath in
America.
She’s going in stone but not
one of the several score which
have been "discovered” from
Dare County half way into
Gcirgia. This is a statue, carved
in Rome in 1858 out of white
Italian marble.
For a long time now the statu?
has stood in the office es State
Auditor George Ross.Pou and i*
is through his efforts, in coopera
tion with Brad Fearing, head ol
the Roanoke Island Historical As
sociation, that it will be sent ti
the site of the first English colony
in America, now oeter known as’
tlie locus for presentation of Pan! 1
Green’s drama ‘‘The Lost Colony.” I
The marble will be transport
ed to Manteo by the State High !
way and Public Works Commie-,
sion. Chairman Ben Prince has,
agreed' that the first time a high - j
way truck has occasion to head
for the Albemarle section with'
a part-load he will have Miss Vi>.- :
ginia picked up, without having. 1
to show a hitch-hiking thumb.
The statue is the sculptor's con
ception of how Virginia would
have lcoked (sans clothing, mci-j
dentally) if she had lived to
young womanhood. It's undrsp-!
rd condition has led to many |ok-|
ir.g cracks at Auditor Poe. Our-,
ing the renovation of the Capitol j
it was moved ever into the office
of Secretary of State Thad Eure, j
and was carefully wrapped in
btewn parcel paper. ,
"Thad just couldn't take it,",
trucked Mr. Pou. relishing the;
chance to turn the tables on Kir,
Icrmentofs, “he isn’t the man I
am."
VICHY DENIES GERMANS
TO GET ARMED AID
• !.' i
VICHY, France. May 17. -Mar
shai Philippe Petain’s plan fori
appeasing Germany includes full
economic cooperation by France,
and her African Colonies, but.
does riot affect French Pacific or,
Western Hemisphere possessions,
it was understood today.
He would shape French industry,
and agriculture to suit jiie pui-,
poses of an Axis-dominated Eu
rope. and place the French Af
rican empire at the services of
the Axis powers for exploitation
as a source of raw materials,
foodstuffs and living space for
surplus European populations. He
would turn France’s face to the
East and her back on the Anglo-
American world, despite all her
sentimental, political, economic
and cultural ties with North and
South America. He would not,
however, offer Germany any mil
itary cooperation.
