Robesonl
Drama I
By WILLAKO G. COLE
LUMBERTON —— The possi
bility of an historical drama
such as "Horn in the West,"
with Robeson County as the
setting was offered last week
by English Jones, president of
Pembroke State College at
Pembroke.
The suggestion grew out of
a review of the Lake Wacca
maw legend which features a
beautiful Indian princess and
her legendary identification
with the origin of the Colum
bus County lake about 50
miles east of Lumberton. *
The college president, him
self an Indian, theorized that
Robeson Indians could have a
link with the Lost Colony.
His idea came to life after
Arlita Lowry, a Pembroke In
dian beauty, who was Nation
. al 4-H Health Queen of 1961,
9 had posed as the beautiful
princess of the Lake Wacca
maw legend.
Said President Jones: "It
seems logical to me that the
descendants of Virginia Dare
and her associate colonists
could have found their way
into the protective marshes
and swamplands of Robeson,
where they both survived and
prevailed as Indians without
a tribe, without a dialect of
their own, and without the
normal Indian customs and
traditions to pass from one
generation to another.
"This is supported to the
extent that Robeson Indians
spoke English when early set
tlers first made contact with
them at the beginning of the
county's history. Also, the
similarity of surnames of pres
ent Robeson Indians with the
ι original colonists on Roanoke
Island tend to support this
theory."
The legend is a beautiful
one and was set forth by
James A. Rogers in his mono
" graph "Columbus County."
Apart from legendary data
receent archaeological studies
in the region indicate that
Lake Waocamaw was formed
some 15,000 to 20,000 years
ago by a gigantic meteorite
which smashed into the earth
at that point at an oblique
angle, burying itself hundreds
of feet below the surface and
creating a crater which be
came the lake's basin.

Protect Farm
Machinery From
JWinter Weather
North Carolina farmers can
cscapc a great amount of
spring frustration and expense
by using a little winter pre
caution.
The cold, icy fingers of win
ter are among the worst ene
mies of »farm machinery.
"North Carolina farmers have
over a billion dollars invested
in machinery," comments J. C.
Ferguson, extension agricultur
al engineer at North Carolina
State. "They can protect this
investment by spending just a
few hours preparing their
machinery for winter."
Ferguson contends that, on
the average farm, a piece of
machinery will suffer greater
damage from exposure to the
winter elements than it will
during the period it Is being
used.
"The machnery on the aver
age farm could be prepared to
withstand this damage with
about two or three-hours at
tention from the farmer," Fer
guson asserts.
Happiness. I have discover
ed, is nearly always a rebound
from hard work.
