BoartI Chaii-man W. Stanford White had called Wayne Wal ters, chief mapper who was em ployed by the county several months ago, to discuss various jiointB of the program.

Wal ters agreed to proceed with tlie indexing, and additionally, to index maps which Lawrence L. Swain had prepared last year but for some unexplained rea son bad not been indexed. Walters is employcel at $30 daily plus expenses, us is E. G Dickinson, who was retained by the county in July at Waltera’ request.

The bit players who won’t be around next year pled guilty in district court Friday to mis demeanor charges involving trespass on personal property and theft, by four, of various ai‘ticle.s. Judge Fentress Horner gave eacli a sentence of 12 months on the roads, suspended on pay-^ went of fines of .$300 and costs, and ordered them to stay out of Dare county for five years. The identical sentences were levied against Robert Martin Gaston, 20, Gastonia, N. C.; John David Joseph Liggio,:'19, Alexandria, 'Va.; Raynor Johns- - ton, 20, Emporia,-Va.; Robert Frothingham, 20, Sykesville, Md.; and William Gary Young, 16, Tampa Beach, Fla. Young was charged with trespass only. Sheriff’s deputies had picked up a .sixth Lost Colony player along with- the other five. He was George Nicholas Cohn,-19, Woodford, Va. Magistrate Ralph Swain said Cohn was not involved in the thefts and “did not know what was going on.’l Swain relea.scd Cohn shortly after he was picked up and ordered him to appear at the trial as a material witness. His testimony was not necc.ssiriy because the five who were cliarged pled guilty. • ' Gaston paid his fine immedi ately. The others were placed in jail pending payment of the fines. Liggio, Johnston, and Frothingham paid their fines but Young couldn’t come -up with the money.
