June 28, 1957 No. 52 \ LOST COLONY SEASON TO BE LAUNCHED When the lights go down on Saturday evening for the opening performance of Paul Green’s LOST COLONY, the seventeenth season of the powerful and stirring drama will get underway. Thousands of people come to Roanoke Island each year, some of them from many miles away, just to witness this performance. So great is the impact of this un solved mystery that many come again and again, each time getting from the show something which went unnoticed be fore. Unique in the fact that it is a symphonic drama, in which the music is so interwoven with the story and is such an integral part of it that without both the drama would lose much of its appeal, the LOST COLONY provides enter tainment of the highest sort. This year the show will open under the guidance of a new director, Burnet Hobgood, who replaces Clifton Britton,' director for a number of years. Dr. Elwood Keister returns for a second year as music director, with Hedley Yost as organist for the second year. Yost was assistant organist prior to last year. Many of the leading characters in the show are new this year, and it will be interesting to see what is being done with so many new hands to bring it into shape. John Lehman returns as choreographer after an absence of two years. Waterside Theatre, the site of LOST COLONY per formances, is a part of Fort Raleigh and Fort Raleigh is now a part of the National Park Service. As director of the National Park Service, Conrad L. Wirth will be present on Saturday evening and will officially open the season’s per formances with a brief talk. Mr. Wirth is no stranger to this section, and a cordial welcome awaits him. With the new Croatan Sound Bridge to facilitate travel from the mainland, it is expected that attendance at the LOST COLONY will be greatly increased this year. May the show have a prosperous season, and may we all be grateful to have an entertainment feature of this calibre to attract so many visitors to our shores. BE SAFE ON THE FOURTH— BE ALIVE ON THE FIFTH” From Independence, Calif., to Independence, Mo., to Independence, Va., Americans will celebrate the 181st anni versary of their independence on July 4. In 1956, a total of 137 persons died in motor vehicle ac cidents during a one-day holiday. Seventy-six drowned One was a victim of fireworks. Thirty-eight others died from miscellaneous causes. * The last four-day Fourth of July holiday was in 1950 A shocking 491 traffic deaths were recorded. A total of 793 persons died from all causes. And the traffic accident toll that year was well below what it is now. What kind of Fourth of July Will this be for the na tion s motorists? For the swimmers? For the tots who twirl sparklers? _ J? w i!L be » fun-fined Fourth if it’s properly controlled. On this 181st birthday of U. S. Independence, a look back ward shows graphically how controls contribute to safety In the year 1903 fireworks took 466 lives. The fledgling automobile—a stiff-jointed youngster then—took only 400 lives for the whole year. Last year on the Fourth only one person died from fireworks. But on the highways between Independence. Calif and Independence, Mo., and Independence, Va., 137 died in auto accidents—in one day! Fn.>Jh e a^S nal e Safety 9S unciI ’ “ an « ff ort to make this * ourth a holiday from accidents, urges motorists—and the X?n“SSir h A? SWa T beaches and the youngsters who 11 thnll at the excitement of fireworks—to "Be safe on the Fourth—be alive on the Fifth!” Senator Scott JLhB from WASHINGTotKU Developments dun"*' **»" , week show very clearly that emo tion has overcome reason in the civil rights issue now before Con gress. This happens from time to time on legislation of various sorts, but in the case of civil rights a very dangerous precedent was set in the Senate last Thursday. By the close vote of 45 to 39, the Senate decided to send the civil rights bill passed by the House directly to the calendar. In other words, normal committee consideration was denied, and in the process the many months of work spent on the legislation by the Senate Judiciary Committee was thrown out the window. In ordinary legislative proced ure, such a practice is unheard ol and is a very dpngerous way o doing business concerning the making of laws of the land. It was very obvious that Vice President Nixon was playing the rankest sort of -nolPiA nho" ruled to bypass committoe consi deration. the vote backing uj. the ruling was evidence enougn to show anyone that the Eisenhowc' Administration is pulling out all stops to capture the big-citv vote in the hope of winning control of Congress i: »xt year. Tne civil .rights issue errres enough controversy and emotion itself w’thont adding fuel to the fire with out end-out political ex pediency. With last week’s victory, the Administration will undoubtedly go to the big cities and brag about what it has done for minority groups. Z ■ ■ ’ Jr',.’ No double, the maneuver will get a lot of votes, but in the pro cess a very serious blow has been dealt the traditional and proper ystem of committee functions in Congress. Senator Russell of Georgia put t very well when he said the move io by-pass committee considera tion and thereby speed up the fi lal vote on civil rights would create “legislative chaos” in the future. More important than this, the rill that is now before the Senate will bring about many more prob ms than it will solve. Instead of inging the races closer together, I am afraid it will put them fur ther apart and intensify the al ready strong lil feelings that exist. The big job facing us in the 'outh today is to find common ground from which all races car. /ork together and progress. Every step- in the other, direc ion, such as the civil rights bill, rill only put off longer the day ve can restore the good race rela .ions we once had. BIRTHS Born to Mr. and Mrs. William , L.

WediFor CRIME DETECTION WORK OF SHERIFF PRAISED To the Editor: For years I have been hearing criticism of the Dare County sheriff and his department as the result of occasional break-ins on the beach and of the purported inability eith er to prevent such robberies or to catch the culprits. Recently, for the first time, I had occasion to closely observe Sheriff Frank Cahoon’s activities with respect to a series of break ins at Southern Shores, and I have been greatly impressed with the methods he has employed. Less than an hour after the first series of break-ins here was re ported to the sheriff’s office in Manteo, Mr. Cahoon had not only reached the scene but had Secured fingerprints and other evidence which I, aS a layman, would have overlooked. When a second series of break-ins was reported, his re sponse was equally fast and his ac tivities as efficient. It seems to me that we are fortunate to have the services of a sheriff’s department well trained in the use of modern crime detection methods and equip ment, especially since the geogra phy of our beach area makes crime prevention difficult, thus putting a heavier burden on crime detection. That the particular individuals involved in these crimes apparently have been caught is incidental to the fact that others will be deter red by the knowledge that efficient law enforcement officers, employ ing modern equipment, are con stantly on the job. I feel that this acknowledgement of our debt to Sheriff Cahoon should be made pub lic. Very truly yours, DAVID STICK Kitty Hawk, N. C.
