Ocracoke Island Ferry Not For Travelers In Big Hurry The ferry "Sea Level" is plying again between Ocracuke Island, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, and the mainland port of Atlantic at the east coast terminus of U. S. Highway 70 ? but it is not for people in a hurry. Making one rqund-trip daily, the ferry ia operated by the State of North Caiolina on a "first come first served" basis. There are no reservations. Already this year, cars have been left at the dock for lack of space aboard. Capa-i city of 22 cars is reduced when boat trailers or trucks are aboard. The Ocracoke-Atlantic ferry was never intended for rapid tranait. Life is leisurely on the Outer Banks, and the Cape Hatteras Na tion Seashore, stretching from south of the Nags Head resort to Ocracoke, will keep a great area of these off-shore islands in the.i original state of sand dunes ; nd uncluttered beaches. Vacationists planning to use the ferry to avoid dead-ending on Oc racoke after visiting Hatteras should allow for the possibility of staying over a day or two when traffic is heavy on this new Pamli co Sound route. There are com fortable overnight accommodations both on Ocracoke and in Atlantic and nearby Sea Level and Cedar Island. Fishing and sightseeing trips can be arranged quickly by those waiting over for the next Scholarships To Appalachian Six western North Carolina high schoolers have been awarded the James K. McClure Scholarship to attend Appalachian State Teachers College next year, according to Dr. W. H. Plcmmons, president of the college.
