BOARD OF ALDERMAN
MEET IN COLUMBIA
COLUMBIA The Town
Board of Aidermen meeting
Monday night heard and discuss
ed many complaints:
C. D. Cooper again appeared
about information on a clear
deed on his property on Green
Street. To help clear the deed
the town had previous run a
legal advertisement on advice
received. Discussion was that it
was necessary to have a law
pass the General Assembly to
clear the deed.
On , follow-up of previous
complaint about the Walter
Fenner property on S. Road
Street, a motion was made to
proceed to carry out condemna-
■ tion procedure on the said pro
perty. Discussion about an old
dilapidated church on Scottsville
Ave. between S. Road Street and
N.C. 94. It was brought out to
be a fire hazard and a place
of danger for children. Mem
bers of the church are to be
sought out so some disposition
can be of its condition.
J. L. Poston registered a com
plaint for a town resident about
neighbor’s dog barking. Poston
reported the dogs to be penned
up. It was agreed to get legal
advice on procedure under the
annoyance stature.
The changing of the street
formerly known as First Ave. by
the residents thereon to Church
Street by the new markers,
brought some contention. The
town map shows the street to
be named Church, and the deeds
pf property owners shows it as
First Ave. The two streets
Church and First Ave. as pre
viously known each ran one
block and one is the continua
tion of the other. To eliminate
confusion the board agreed that
the two blocks should be named
by one name, and Julian L.
Poston was asked to get the
situation relieved.
The board was petitioned'to
allow- some auxiliary officers for
handling traffic and other of
fioial duties which may be need
ed during the dedication. Mrs.
Mae Poston was appointed to
get up tax scrolls for 1962-63.
An application was presented
for George Owens to erect a
feed supplement storage tank
on Scuppemong Drive.
Method of parking for the
Dedication was outlined to the
board. All bills ordered paid.
The board adjourned to again
meet on May 15th.

Will Baptist Church in Kinston

RIHA
(Continued from Page One)
for Dare County, says the but
terfly net isn’t necessary if
you’re using the right “bait,”
for riha is Andy’s way of talk
ing about the memberships to
support “The Lost Colony”
which are now on sale to the
general public. Andy bought the
first one.
The Roanoke Island Historical
Association, RIHA for short, has
just launched its 1962 member
ship drive and Mrs. Evans says
that a goal of 375 subscriptions
has been set for the year to com
memorate the 375th anniver
sary of the birth of Virginia
Dare. “Andy bought our first
one, ibut there are 374 left,” she
declared.
Mrs. Evans explained that,
whether the moon is in the right
quarter or not, the 'best “bait”
-in a contribution of $5 or more
to support “The Lost Colony”
which is now celebrating its
Silver Anniversary Year. “We
have such a rich historical herit
age in Dare County, and so
many firsts that it would be
most appropriate if we were the
first area to fill our quota in
the membership drive for 1962,”
she said.
A number of highlights are
expected to make a membership
in the Association more appeal
ing for 1962 than in any pre
vious year. In addition to the
Silver Anniversary Night on
July 4 and the 375th birthday
observance on August 18, a com
memorative art exhibit and a
performance of Thomas Wolfe’s
“Look Homeward Angel” pro
mise -to provide the most enter
taining season on record for
“The Colony.” Local residents
will also want to attend Dare
County Night when appreciation
will be shown to a host of local
folks who make the outdoor
drama our nation’s foremost
touring attractions. Mrs. Evans
is being assisted in the 1962
drive for county memberships by
Mrs. Violet Kellam and Alvah
Ward, Jr., who have announced
that a breakfast will be given
on Friday in the Manteo Motel
. Restaurant in an effort to ob
tain area chairman, who will as
sist in soliciting contributions
for memberships in the Associa
tion.
PAGE THREE
Mrs. Sam J. Ervin, Jr., State
Chairman for 1962, has indicat
ed that subscriptions are run
ning well ahead of last year and
the leoal committee feels that
the county can do far' better
than the 40 memberships which
were sold in 1961.
Memberships in the Roanoke
Island Historical Association are
of types. Regular members pay
annual dues of $5 and receive
a special ticket which will entitle
the holder to attend one perfor
mance of “The Lost Colony”, for
the current season. Sustaining
members pay annual dues of $lO
and receive two special tickets
which entitle the holder and a
guest to attend one perffor
mance for the current season.
Sponsoring members pay annual
dues of $25 and are thetieby en
titled to five special tickets
which allow their purchaser and
four guests to attend one perfor
mance for the current season.
Life members, who pay SIOO,
receive a lifetime pass to “The
Lost Colony.”
Andy and Barbara Griffith,
who purchased the first mem
berships for 1962, have a Spe
cial interest in the Association.
Andy is well remembered, for his
performance as Sir Walter Ra
leigh in “The Lost Cdlbny,”
while Barbara’s version of Elea
nor Dare in the drama
an equal ovation of critical ac
