The presi dent last week signed into law the bill which permits the extension of' i Fort Raleigh historical site through acquisition of much additional ac reage costing more than a quarter million dollars. At the Nags Head meeting many distinguished persons spoke or Were recognized, including Dr. Frank P. Graham for many years president of the University.

The season long celebration will be high lighted at “The Lost Colony” on Roanoke Is land on August 18, 1962, birth date of Virginia Dare. The Governor said that an invi tation will be issued to Queen Eliz abeth II to visit North Carolina and “The Lost Colony” for the cele bration.
