Aruba Never
DKk?IHe?
A Finnish tanker, tfce Aruba,
originally destined for Red China
carrying 13,000 tons of jet fuel,
has never been in Morehead City
port, as some local folks believed.
Tankers from Aruba. source of
petroleum products *off Venezuela,
have been in Morehead City, but
none have been named "Aruba."
The Finnish tanker skyrocketed
into the news when Chiang-Kai
Shek, head of the Chinese National
ist government, said he would
never allow the fuel to reach Com
munist China.
It was reported early this week
that the aircraft carrier USS Kear
sarge on which two Beaufort men
are serving (see armed forces
news page 5 section 2) was in
Singapore to intercept the Aruba,
but the Navy denied that such was
the case.
The Aruba 's Finnish crew, at last
report, had refused to take the ship
beyond Singapore.

What Clams Will Do!
C&D Board Will Employ
Seafood Marketing Expert
At the ci*ra dinner in- Kaleigft
Wednesday night, the news was re
leased that the Board of Conserva
tion and Development is going to
employ a specialist in seafood mar
keting. The joint appropriations
committee of the general assem
bly on Wednesday afternoon ap
proved a transfer of funds to pay
the specialist.
Governor and Mrs. Hodges, sev
eral hundred legislators including
D. G. Bell of Carteret, and busi
nessmen ate clams in the SAW
Capitol Room.
The purpose of the meeting, as
slated quite clearly By Director
Ben Douglas of the Department of
Conservation and Development, was
"to teach all of you that clams are i
good to eat." The lesson was well
learned. Thousands of clams quick1
ly disappeared.
The clams were served on the
half shell, in clam chowder and in <
fritters, and along with them came 1
generous helpings of clam juice, J
After sampling the clam in tfc* i
various forms presented, Governar i
Hodges predicted "a very glorious I
future" for North Carolina. i
The clams were supplied by El- i
mer Willis of Williston, who sells i
aooiu iu minion ciams ( annually.
The Governor noted with some
wonder that less than one-tenth of
one per cent of these clams wind
up in the palate of appreciative
North Carolinians. The remainder
go outside the state.
CfcD and the N. C. Association
of Quality Restaurants teamed
with Willis in staging the clam
bake. M. M. Melvin, executive sec
retary of the Restaurant Associa
tion, and Wade Lucas, CAD pub
licity man, were (^chairmen of the
event. C&D Chief Douglas publicly
?mmended Lucas for his role in
conceiving and staging the supper.
