Show tinic this year as 8:45 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Saving Time). The drama was suspended for four years dui-- ing World War 11 to account for the difference between the 30th anniversary season and the 27th production season. There are no starring roles in the symphonic, hi.stoi-ic play ■written by Pulitzer Prize win ner Paul Green of Chapel Hill, and directed and choreographed for the fourth year by New Yorker Joe Layton of Broad way, TV and Hollywood fame. Generally considered the load- ,ing parts arc those of Eleanor ^are, the mother of Virginia Dare, first child of English pai‘- ents bom in .America; John Borden, a farmer boy from Devon, England; “Old Tom”, a comic character; Sir Walter Ra leigh and Queen Elizabeth 1. Pat Kelly Gilbreath of Greensboro returns to play Eleanor Dare for the .second season.

The local crew of the State Highway Commission iMalntenance Department is at present back-filling the should ers of the beach higliway to enhance the job. Having 16 3 miles of fino ocean highway for the first time in many years is good nows. 1410 fact that not one jienny of ■money from the county or any of Dare’s municipalities had to be spent on the rc.siirfacing makes it doubly so.
