Originally, Billy 1 s Island was the stronghold of a tribe of the fie~ce Seminole Indian Nation, these Indians were driven from the 
swamp in 1838. 
In more recent years, there was a logging village located on the Island, (around 1915 to 1930) where

was a school, a church, a two story hotel and a movie theater, and what remains of this now, is only a part of an old steam engine which was junked while the logging operation was in progress.

Service, San Francisco reports a unique campground registry board he saw recently in the Inyo National Forest. 
Located at the single entrance and exit of each campground in such a position that the driver can't miss it--in fact, he halts his car right in front of it before entering the campground--the registry board allows him to see at a glance those campsites vacant and available, their location and how to reach them.

 CIVIL \'JAR CENTENNIAL C01'-1MISSION 
Karl s. Betts, Executive Director 
700 Jackson Place, N.W. Washington 25, D. C. Telephone: EXecutive 3-3300, ext. 641 
FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, ~ffiRCH 5, 1961 
 
No. 151 March 1, 1961 
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. ----- South Carolina's Charleston, the city that echoed in 1861 with the first hostile firing of the Civil War, will present an authentic background both in scenery and costumes when the fourth national assembly of the Centennial Corrunission is held there April 11-12. 
The atmosphere of the Civil Har era v.rill be noticeable on all sides and all of it will be by vray of welcome. Many male residents will wear beards, the hirsute ador1~~nts so reminiscent of the period. Hostesses will be gowned in the flowing dresses of the Sixties. Citadel cadets, manning the batteries that sounded notes of defense there 100 years ago, will be dressed in authentic Confederate uniforms. And as a final fillip, the outburst of cannon fire that Beauregard's troops poured on Fort Sumter will be reenacted v1ith pyrotechnics and not the fireworks of warfare. 
Karl S. Betts, executive director of the National Commission, predicts the meeting will be the most important pertaining to the Civil War held in the last Century. 
"Here for the first time," he said, "we will have an opportunity to assess ourselves on a basis of performance. By that time several of our more important opening ceremonies will have taken place, and our speakers will be expected to point out to us what lies ahead and how to improve our programs." 
As a special highlight of the program, Postmaster General J. Edward Day and some of his deputies will be on hand to present to the American public for the first time the Fort Sumter cormnemorative stamp to be issued in memory of the occasion. This stamp will go on sale on April~ at the main post office in Charleston.
