On Tanker, Niobe
Sailing one week ago from Aru
ba on the Panamanian tanker, Ni
obe which docked at Port Termi
nal, Jack Bachelor arrived at More
head City July.' 4, and became the
first known passenger to land at
Morehead directly from ocean voy
age. He is on his way now by train
to St. Louis, Missouri.
Mr. Bachelor, an Englishman, is
employed as a marine engineer by
the Standard Oil company in Aru
ba, and the purpose of his travel
to St. Louis, it is believed, is to
spend a five or six-month vacation
there, said Captain George W.
Mayne, commander of the 7,153
ton tanker.
Although the big German-built
ship hailed from Aruba, a Dutch
speaking isle xAl Venezuela, every
one aboard was English.
The Niobe unloaded at the Esso
dock from the 4th to the 7th of
July, and is believed to be one of
the largest tankers to come to
Morehead City. Beside j her one
passenger, the 33-yearold ship car
ried a cargo of 76,000 barrels of
asphalt and a quantity of fuel oil.
She is now on her wny to Chile,
South America, to pick up cargo
and carry It back to Aruba.
The Niobe is owned by the Pa
nama Transport company.

the Seven Seas gathered to wel

had imposed on him Came to an

Only an hour before, the 93-year
old one-tine' skipper of schooners

of a bygone era when sailing ves

off Ocracoke. '

Chiefly responsible for the East's
victory was the booming bat of
Lefty Hawkins, star first baseman
for Harkers Island Straits. Hawk
ins had three hits in four times at
bat and batted in five Eastern
tallies with a single, double, and
home run.
Another standout offensively for
the East team was Ben Hester of
Beaufort, who batted 3-for-5, in
cluding a double and two singles.
Pitching for the East team were
Jim Webb of Morehead City, Moe
Willis of Harkers Island-Straits,
and Stanley Johnson of Beaufort,
each of whom did three-inning
stints. Webb started and received
credit for the win.
The starting and losing pitcher
for the West team was Fred Tay
lor of Havelock. He was followed
on the mound by Melvin Aycock
of Newport, Floyd Williams of
Jacksonville, and Arthur (Pappy)
Diem of Swansboro.
The East team broke the scor
ing ice with a run in the first in
ning. Elvin Davis of Marshallberg
walked and stole second base. A
few seconds later, Hawkins brought
him in with a single.
The East added two more in the
third inning. With two strikes on
him, Webb singled into eenterfield,
and an error by centerficlder Char
lie Odum, of Swansboro, in hand
ling the ball allowed Webb to take
second. Hester doubled him in and
Hawkins followed with another
doue to make the score 3 0.
Singles by Myron. (Ace) Harris
and Billy Davis, both of Marshall

run in the sixth inning and made
the score 4-0 in the East's favor.
The East's offensive was climax

Mainlanders Join
Islanders July 5
'Nine Old Men' Defeat Coast
Guard in Game of Softball
OCRACOKE ISLAND, N. C , Ju
ly 5 Dozens of Island visitors
joined with Ocncokers today in
a lusty celebration of Indepen
dence Day.
Streaming here from the heat
ridden cities of the mainland, the
holiday weekenders gathered at the
Coast Guard base with some 400
islanders to participate in the fes
tivities. The celebration got under way
at 1 p.m. when young Clifton Aus
tin, son of a Coast Guardsman, ran
up the Stars and Stripes on the
base flagpole.
Still standing at attention, the
crowd sang the first verse of the
Star Spangled Banner, which was
led by Harvey Wihab of the Coast
Guard.
Dr. Charles J. Tilley, pastor of
the Ocracoke Methodist church,
then offered a prayer and made
a few .brief remarks befitting the
occasion.
The gathered crowd also bowed
in silent tribute to Captain Tom
Gaskins, whose death had occurred
only a few minutes before.
Highlight of the program was a
Softball game between Ocracoke's
"Nine Old Men" and the Coast
Guard. The "Nine Old Men" won
by a score of 22 to 15.
Hunter Robinson, one of the
guiding hands of' the occasion, had
rigged up swings and a merry-go-round
for the children.
John Parris was master of ceremonies.
State Sets Deadlines
In Car Insnaction Program
Because the mechanical inspec
tion lane program has been lagging
the past several months, officials
of the state motor vehicle depart
ment have set deadlines for the
various models of cars.
There are only six month.; left
in .n car inspection program and
only 250,185 of the state's 862,252
vehicles have passed through the
lanes.
The deadlines are as follows:
1. All vehicles of models up to
and including 1936 and vehicles of
models 1947 and 1948 must be in
spected by August 31.
2. Models 1938, 1939, 1943, 1944,
and 1945 must be inspected by Oct
ober 31.
4. Models 1940 and 1942 must be
inspected by November 30.
5. Models 1941 and 1949 must be
inspected by December 31.
In passing the law requiring in
spection of vehicles, the 1947 Gen
eral Assembly set no such dead
lines. However, officials point
out that, the low does give the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
the authority to promulgate rules
and regulations that he deems ne
cessary to the administration of
the law.
By setting these deadlines, Direc
tor Arthur T. Moore of the Mech
anical Inspection Division said, the
department can be assured that all
registered vehicles have visited in
spection lanes by the year's end.
Rush Avoided
"In this way," he added, "the
lanes will not have to undergo
such a tremendous rush at the end
of the year."
The law requires inspection of
all vehicles once this year and
twice a year hereafter.
The new deadlines, officials
pointed out, won't prevent vehicle
owners from taking their cars and
trucks to inspection lanes earlier
than the specified times. For in
stance, if the owner of a 1941 ve
hicle wants to have his car inspect
ed during July, that will be fine,
even though the actual deadline
for inspection of 1941 models is not
until December 31.

limit set for inspection of the va
rious models will be a violation
of the law, officials emphasized.
A provision Is made, howevpr,
that a motor vehicle which is ac
quired after the time limit foi its
inspection and which docs not have
a seal of approval may be -.'resented
for inspection within 20 days
after the date of acquisition. The
operation of the vehicle within this
20,-day period will not be deemed
a violation of the law. Any person
operating such a vehicle must have
with him during this period a bill
of sale or other evidence showing
the date and place of acquisition
of the vehicle and from whom it
was purchased.
Rules for '4!.
Officials yesterday also announ
ced regulations for the semi-anu-nual
inspection beginning in 1949.
The first period in 1949 will be
from January 1 through June 30.
the second from July 1 through
December 31.
The regulation slates that "any
motor vehicle required to be in
spected during a semi annual in
spection period shall not be in
spected earlier than five months
nor later than seven months fol
lowing the preceding inspection."
It also states that vehicles in
spected during 'the first six months
of 1948 must be submitted for the
first semi-annual inspection in 19
49 on or before March 31.
Moore said that the reason for
the five to seven months period
between inspections was that some
motorists might wait until Dec
ember 30 to have their 1948 inspec
tion, and then might rush back to
the lanes on January 2 for the
first semiannual inspection. He
added that such an inspection so
close behind the first would be of
little value.
Beginning with January 1, the
owner of a vehicle will be given 30
days from the date of acquisition
to have the vehicle inspected. The
owner must have with him at al)
times and produce for the inspec
tion of any lawful officer or ern
ploye of the Mechanical Inspection
Division a bill of sale showing the
date ' and place of acquisition of
the vehicle,

Camp Players
To Present Revue
"The Gay Nineties Revue," a
musical show of the decade term
ed the Naughty Nineties, will be
presented tonight and tomorrow
night at the Roda Theatre by the
Camp Morehead Players. Camp
Morehead is a summer camp for
boys located on Boguc Sound west
of Morehead City.
This Gay Nineties Revue was
first produced August 11, 1947 in
the camp gymnasium as one of
the features of a new drama group.
The group really got its start with
the Revue, and now the Camp
Morehead Players plan weekly
program,- dances, and a major
production each month.
The idea for the Gay Nineties
Revue was conceived by Bill Trot
man, of Winston-Salem, when he
came to the camp to help wiMi
dramatics in 1947. In collabora
tion with Billy Barnes, of Wilson,
the complete plans were drawn up,
and the ten different numbers
went into rehearsal.
A cast of over 20 people rang
ing in age from 6 to 20 met daily
to put the finishing touches on
the can-can, the barber shop quar
tet, and the various other num
bers. Then on August 11 the show was
a finished production, and the
opening night audience acclaimed
it as a hit; so the Revue was pro
duced one more time that season
with the same favorable result. Al
though the cast was young and in
experienced, it was agreed that
each boy, doing his best, put over
a show that Camp Morehead was
proud of.
