Summer Schedule Now In Effect Over t atorists Are Urged to Leave In Time to Catch Ferry Highway Chairman A. H. Graham has announced the summer operating schedules of the Manns Harbor-Roa noke Island, Alligator River and Ore gon Inlet toll-free ferries which are operated by the State Highway Com mission. The schedules became effective Sat urday, June 5, and will continue through September 30. Service is be ing stepped-up this summer on the Oregon Inlet ferry as a result of the record-breaking tourist traffic last year. The new paved road down the Outer Banks is expected to draw heavy traffic. “Visitors who travel to the south side of the Oregon Inlet should by all means try and take an early ferry back. Otherwise, they may be left to spend the night on the Hatteras side of the inlet, if the last ferry back at 7 P. M., is filled. Our largest ferries can only carry 22 vehicles at one trip,” Graham said. The Oregon Inlet ferries (the 22- vehicle “Governor Umstead” and the 11-vehicle wooden “Barcelona”) will make 18 round trips between 5 A. M., and 6:10 P. M., daily. This year’s schedule adds six more daily trips to last year’s service. A navy landing craft is now being stripped down and converted into a ferry which will car ry between 20 and 22 vehicles. A second Navy LCU which is also being converted for use on the Oregon In let should be ready for use the last of July. The addition of these two new ferries should partially relieve the in adequacy of the present ferry service. Graham urged all motorists not to remain too long on the south shore of the Oregon Inlet, but to make plans to get back over to the north side before the last southside ferry leaves at 7 P. M. After August 15, the first trip at 5 A. M., and the last trip at '7 P. M., will be discontinued because the days will be getting shorter. It dangerous to operate the ferries on he Inlet after dark. It takes 20 tes to cross the Inlet. .-aham said that the three big fer SCHENLEY WB|aLjiA y M Blended whiskey, 86 proof.
