C. (P) Folks at Dunn for years will be talking about a little old lady from Boston with a gift of gab and a dream of building a multi-million dollar replica of the Holy Land. She roused a lot of hopes and she caused the expenditure of a lot of time and money over a period of many months with the proposed "Christialand" although she never realized any profit out of the money spent. Now the have been pretty thoroughly dashed. And so, recent reports from Gaffney, S.

that the chamber of commerce was striving to have a replica of the Holy Land built thereabouts aroused no envy in Dunn. Miss Esta Barr of Boston, came to Dunn in 1960 with the suggestion that a site nearby would be a good site for her proposed "Christialand" that would cost $22 million to build and which would provide jobs for some 300 people when completed. It would, she said, not only serve as a tourist attraction such as Disneyland but it would make this area an important religious center. N.C. Crash Felt Due To An Air WILMINGTON, Force N.

C. plane (AP) which 1 cargo crashed here on takeoff killing three persons apparently was in too steep a climb, according to an airport manager. John A. Westbrook, manager of the airport here, said a team of investigators here from the Myrtle Beach, S.C., Air Force Base have offered no official explanation for the Sunday crash. Westbrook said he thought there was no loss of power on takeoff, but that apparently the C123 cargo plane was "in too steep a climb," then stalled.

The plane, from Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, was here to participate in an air show. It carried six members of the U.S. Army Sky Diving Team, six newsmen and photographers, and a crew of three. Two crew members and a Ft. Bragg photographer were killed.

The other 12 persons aboard were injured, six seriously. About 100,000 persons were at the airport for the show which was being carried on local television. The ship faltered shortly after takeoff, crashed and burned at the end of the runway. John Weston of Wilmington, a free lance photographer, said, "I knew we were going to crash when we were about 300 feet up and the plane stalled. The captain apparently nosed down to pick up air speed and he started to bank to the left to get clear of the runway.

He leveled off at 100 feet and attempted to pick up speed. The crash came a second, half second, later." Westbrook said the Air Force investigators planned to begin dismantling the wreckage in an effort to determine the cause of the Steep Climb Beltone Greenville Anderson Spartanburg At a news conference, she said that when directors of her tialand decided definitely on a site, money was available for the project. She talked vaguely of dations" that were backing it. High hopes for the project were raised in the Dunn area. 'It ed the point that Dunn citizens obtained options on 2,000 acres of land.

Dunn chamber of commerce officials spent much time working on the project. Miss Barr was transported back and forth numerous times from her hotel in Raleigh. Finally, the local citizens became a bit impatient. They pressed Miss Barr for the money, That brought bad news. Apparently the money would have to be raised.

Miss Barr talked of a backer in Washington, and she went to Washington, first asking the Dunn chamber of commerce to send a telegram so "that I can show it to my backer as an evidence you are interested." The telegram was sent. After another lapse of time, she told Dunn folks her backer became somewhat incensed at the telegram because he felt it was a demand. After that, folks at Dunn heard little of the project nor of Miss Barr until word came over the weekend that Gaffney was ested in tackling the project. Gov, Fritz Hollings of South Carolina asked Ned Champion, manager of the Dunn chamber of commerce, about Champion answered that if they couldn't get more definite mation than Dunn did, they might as well forget the project.
