Heavy Traffic Taxes Ferry To Hatteras Conditions Differ From Boulevard Driving and City Living A second small ferry added as an emergency measure at Oregon Inlet has helped somewhat to relieve con gestion, but both craft are unable to cope with the heavy traffic attracted to Hatteras by news that a road has been built to the Outer Banks out post. On week-ends and other special occasions, motorists may find them selves faced with very long waits on either side of the inlet, which sepa rates Hatteras Island from Bodie Island, on which Nags Head is located to the north. The regular ferry, with capacity for only 12 cars, operates on an hourly schedule from 7 A. M., until 6 P. M. The road has been paved practical ly to Hatteras Village, about 60 miles from Manteo, but this kind of road building requires months for stabili zation and its proximity to the surf makes it vulnerable to sea action at all times. Constant maintenance is required, and the motorist should be prepared to make sand detours at any time. Sand driving is difficult for a novice and may result in serious dam age to an automobile. It is always best to obtain, current information on the road and conges tion at the Oregon Inlet Ferry at Nags Head or Manteo before setting out for Hatteras, which is showing signs of a boom following announce ment that the only National Sea shore Park is to be established around the famous cape. Relieving the traffic congestion somefwhat is the fact that the Hat teras-Manteo bus line is putting on new 36-passenger buses and doubling its schedule, effective July 28, to make two round trips daily. The new schedules provide direct connec tions to the bus at Manteo going to Elizabeth City and Norfolk to connect 1 with rail and airlines. The bus leaves Manteo at 8 and 2 IP. M., and departs from Hatteras at about the same times. The run ning time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, and the fare $2.75 each way, plus tax. (Being a regularly franchised carrier, the bus has priority on the Oregon Inlet ferry and is entitled to cross while private vehicles wait, This schedule is subject to change. Visitors who ride the 'bus are able to charter jeeps or cars with ex. perienced sand drivers from the bus company in Hatteras for travel to the lighthouse, trips along the beach to the old wrecks, or for surf casting, i Most maps still show a private ferry to Hatteras from Englehard, on U. S. 264 across Pamlico Sound, ibis ferry was discontinued in the spring of 1952 after being operated for many years. The only ways to reach Hatteras are bv boat—Hatteras Village has limited pier space; by air—landingss are made on the beach and planes may be chartered at Manteo; by highway from Manteo and Nags Head—requir ing crossing Oregon Inlet by ferry; or by private ferry from ©cracoke Island to the south. This is most interesting country, and most visitors are considerably more than compensated for the diffi culties of travel in this “raw” area, but it must be remembered that con ditions quite different from city liv- PERISHABLE food stuff* trav j oiling thousand* of m3osl Un -3 hoard of a generation aqol i Commonplace today ... and j «l thru the undoubted de pendability of the modern re j frigarator carl Whatever the distance or J time of day or night, you can ■j depend onus to conduct a co i romony imbued with tasto and j responsibility.

Skinner home on Friday, August 15th. I Two suggestions for you who are 'looking ahead and freezing foods for later use. When you add ascorbic acid to peaches and apples to keep them from turning dark you put more food value into them. Some varieties of peaches darken more readily than others. As corbic (pronounced a skor bik) acid is actually vitamin C. As you know, that is a food element that we need every day. Our bodies do not store it, so we must have a new supply daily. We get it from oranges, can taloupe, green peppers, strawberries, , ' tomatoes, and some other fresh fruits and vegetables. It is called the “fugi i tive” vitamin because it escapes from our food so easily. Buy your ascorbic acid in powdered form ( vitamin C tablets are all right—but expensive). Use one teaspoon of pure ascorbic acid to 1 quart of syrup for peaches. You can buy mixtures which contain ascorbic acid. As to leaking containers for frozen foods—some sweetened fruit juices never do freeze. They will seep out into the locker or home freezer if given even a tiny opening. Be sure that all containers are closed tightly. Press lids down firmly all around the top on rigid containers. It heat sealing is used on bags, be sure it works. Too much heat will destroy the seal; too little will not seal. An iron set on “rayon” is satisfactory.
