OCRACOKES* CHARM
| DRAWS MANY TOURISTS
Ocracoke. A good many
people of Washington, D. C., have
. discovered the vacation charms
of Ocracoke Island. Several fam
-1 ilies have made the trip by boat
from Washington, D. C., to Nor
folk, and thence by car or bus
to Manteo and Hatteras. Those
with 4-wheel-drive jeeps have
made good use of the Hatteras
Inlet ferry and continued down
the beach or sandy road to Ocra
coke Village; those without 4-
wheel-drives have wisely chosen
to park their cars at Hatteras
and come down with Charlie Mc-
Williams on the maiiboat and
I mailtruck.
In addition to bringing then
jeeps, two of the Washington
families have had sailboats on
Silver Lake Harbor here at Ocra
| coke, and a short stretch of moor
ing space is appropriately dubbed
“Washington Cove.” Staying al
the Lambert Cottage the past
two weeks were Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Runyon an’d children,
John, Nina, and Ann, with their
guests Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wy
man and daughter, Jane, of
'Great Barrington, Massachusetts
: Another Washington family, Mr.
| and Mrs. Wymberly Coerr and
children, Susan and Stanton,
spent the two weeks at Wahab
Village Hotel. Two family groups
from the National Capital, Mrs.
Charles Owsley and children,
Mary Bett, Keith, Rodney, and
Scott were at Sound Front Inn;
also there were Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur Lewis of Washington,
D. C.
The advantages of bringing a
4-wheel-drive jeep to the Island
are many-daily trips to the Ocean
Beach, straight across from the
Village, or to Ocracoke Inlet
three miles South, or North six
teen miles to Hatteras Inlet, with
opportunities to see many of the
famous wrecks—the Ghost Ship,
the George A. Wells, en route, or
to gather shells or climb the
dunes, and the opportunity too
to drive to points of interest in
Ocracoke Village.
ONE GOOD REASON
Now, we know of at least one
reason why there has been a con
sistent ammunition shortage in
Korea during the past several
I months. According to Pentagon
• records, last 'year’s steel strike
I created a shortage of ammuni
tion heavier than 50 caliber. The
j Truman Administration occu
pied a strange role in the drama
i — that of trying to prosecute a
war, while at the same time aid
ing and abetting those who were
making the prosecution of that
war doubly difficult
