This important indaatry, which il still largely undeveloped so far aa it concerns realization of Its full potential value to commercial fishermen as well da to the State ss a whole, is to be surveyed and studied this year by the School of Business Administration, Universi ty of North Carolina, In coopera tion with the Department of Con servation and Development. Em phasis will be laid upon the pros pects for freezing, packaging and marketing of this huge seafood crop, much of which is still being ?old in season 'on idaily fresh markets. In addition to these two surveys, both of which were planned to aid in the program fof general de velopment of Eastern North Caro lina, the Department of Conserva tion and Development, Director Douglas emphasizes, is not over looking Eastern North Carolina in the over-all plans being pushed In the renewed and intensified drive to bring more industrial payrolls to the entire State. Food Processing Encouraging progress is being made in the processing and packag ing of truck crop products, long major factors in the economy of Eastern North Carolina. Such es tablishments as a new pickle plant at Mount Olive, a cannery for red peppers and probably in due course for other truck products at Dunn, several dehydration plants for sea food products along the coast, and growing diversification of new in dustries coming into the area com bine to give promise <4 "? better tomorrow" for Eastern North Car olina, Director Douglas believe*.

Development work shops are now being held in each county to help local groups in their planning for new industries.

Much Diversification "Since 194?," Mr. Covington wrote in "The Wachovia," "plants to produce everything from hypo detnic needles, cosmetics, and ammunition to prefabricated hous es, frozen foods, and seamless hos iery, have been attracted to East ern North Carolina. In all, over 100 representative concerns, in cluding more than 15 major indus tries, hive chosen the section which extends east from Raleigh to the coast. Many ere the smaller industries which, though not regional or na tional in stature, add nevertheless to the State's industrial diversifi I cation and are tremendously im If You Enjoy S?A fOOOS\ - -?r / Bring the Family to Sanitary Fish Market & Restaurant "Children Especially Invited" SEAFOOD SERVED AT ITS BEST!

'The total iaveatment la these 106 plants new In operation, under construction, or in final states of planning is estimated to be in excess of *130,000,000 and 18,000 new jobs will be created. While annual payroll figures for present and proposed plants are not availa ble, the State Department of Con servation and Development be lieves the total will exceed $35 mil lion." Covington points out that East ern North Carolina has many ad vantages to offer industry. He enumerates such important fac tors as plenty of labor which haa shown "high adaptability to new and varied manufacturing skills," a large number of good plant sites on flat land with good drain age, stable and progressives local and State government, a growing supply of electric power, an abun dance of water of good physical and chemical quality for power and industrial processes, and an unusually favorable climate which has a year round temperature of 62 degrees, plus adequate rainfall. "Eastern North Carolina has the opportunities that many industri alists seek in their plans for ex pansion," Director Douglas said. "It is up to all of us to see that more and more of these opportun ities are utilized for the benefit of the State as a whole." receiving ADC la Noth Carolina* toed this help because a patent has 4eeerM, accord ng to atudies by the mate Board at Public Welfare In the natton aa a whole thil cause ia responsible (or about 26 per eent ot the ADC caccs. la evtfry caae of deaertlon where an ADC grant Ia Involved the coun ty superintendent ot public welfare gleet the name and all information available regarding the wherea bouts of the deserting parent to the law enforce meat officials The cofarts have the responsibility for following through to secure contri butions from the deserting parent for his family A Federal law ef fective since July 1952 gives added support to the long time efforts to enforce North Carolina's sup port statutes.

Death of the fath er- comes first with 28 per rent of the cases occasioned by this cause. Incapacity of the father is second with 23 per cent. Fathers In an institution (usually prison) Is third with about IB per cent in this group. In only 15 per cent of the ADC cases has the father de serted his family. The facts for the nation show that the incapacity of the father is the major cause, followed by de sertion, then death of the father as the third cause, and only eight per cent of fathers in institutions. Has Enforcement Law North Carolina is one of 52 juris dictions which have the uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act which provides a legal meth od for requiring a deserting parent to contribute to the support ot his dependent children in another state or jurisdiction. In this state the Superior Court is designated as the court having jurisdiction in the initiation ^>f ac tion under thia law when the de pendent children are in this state. That court also executes similar actions for out-of-State dependent children whose deserting parent is in this state. Washington. D. C. is one of the few major jurisdictions which do not have this law. "Court action is necessary in re quiring a deserting parent to con tribute to the support of dependent children," said Dr. Ellen Winston, commissioner of the State Board of Welfare which supervises the coun ty administered welfare program in North Carolina. "The fact that, the whereabouts uf^Jarge proportion of thh de PMfiyiarertts is unknown nfckes if exceedingly difficult to get satis factory results," she said. "Over against cases in which full information cannot be obtained however, there are hundreds of cases in which payments from the deserting parents are secured as a result of the efforts of the welfare department in cooperation with the enforcement officials. "Desertion by a parent and the resulting needs of the children em phasize the service which can be [rendered by case worker* In coun ty departments of public welfare as they counsel with the remaining parent and children on their fam ily problems," Dr. Winston said. Churchless Parish Mark* 25th Year of Services Orange, Mass. (AP) . ? A Unl versalist parish which has had no church or formal religious services for nearly 18 years observed the 25th anniversary recently of its monthly vespers. The pariah once had members in the towns of Dana and North Dana, Mass. These communities were wiped out when a huge res ervoir supplying the Boston area was completed in 1936. Dana ves pers had . become a tradition by then, and they atill are being held. Forty members of the original church membership are among the 141 who form the pariah today. Money from a trust fund provides for 12 services every year and usually enough for a "bonus" of fering annually.
