1957 Building P^n; Summary for 10 Years Given] Report (Continued from pagr j) lain points In Caheref County whore they bought aoft cr.be and lorge quantities of peelers whfrtr werefloated, shedded and shipped as aoft crabs ^ A few of our own dealers follow ed Uus same procedure and sold the product directly to hotels, cafes and ^ataurants. This was found profiUWe only during the six weeki before the season opened in Vir ?JL a"d Mary'and When the crabbing season began there such great quantities were produced that the out-of-state dealers returned home and opened up their buai nessrs. Immediately the local demand for peelers dropped off to practi caliy nothing. The production eg soft crabs for this period was 2 237 dozens as against 650 dozens last year. " Hard Crabs: This activity show ed next to the largest increase of any for this last six months of the year and the price averaged well There was an increase of 20 044 barrels. v ' Scallops: Our statistics do not give a true picture of this activity because many people licensed their boats to take this delicious seafood for home consumption and. too, our report had to be closed before the period ended The scallop season opened Dec. 2. Large catches were made the first week but bad weather prevailed until the end of the month. However there would have been very little market for seafood any way, during Christmas week. Re ports that came into me during De cember clearly showed that the supply of scallops on our grounds was the greatest that it had been in a number of years. Menhaden: The peak of our men haden season only lasts about six weeks, which is ordinarily from Nov. 1 through Dec. 20. The low production this period was caused by high winds and rough seas. One of our best menhaden boat cap tains said in our office a few days ago that rough weather the week of Dec 16 caused the loss'of a mil lion dollars to the fishermen and operators. There were great quantities of our largest menhaden schooled off our coast from which the meakxden captains had loaded their boats during the previous week and could have continued to do so had the weather beeh favorable. Statistics on catches (the 1957 figure Is given first and the 1988 figure [both for the July to Decem ber period) second): Oysters: 78,?43 tubs ? 107,395; pounds of shrimp (heads off) 3,100,405 - 2.803,349; bushels of clams: 9,975 - 11,892; dozen soft crabs: 2,237 - 850; barrels hard crabs: 57,235 ? 37,201; gallons of scallops: 8,179 ? 2-505. Pounds food fish: 9,934,100 ? 10433,373; number of menhaden 208,874,000 ? 278,307,000; gallons menhaden oil produced: 1,880,408? 2,497,352; pounds of menhaden sol ubles: 7,030,840 ? 19,043,771.

Furthermore, Santa never saw a "bad" boy or a "bad" |irl. Sometimes the sheer "animal spirits" of children cause them to be mischievous or thought less or pert ? but they are NOT "bad." All too often, the actions and the thoughts of children mirror the thoughts and deeds of parents. Your child think* that you, Mother or Father, are "tops." He will imi tate, consciously or unconsciously, yopr mannerisms of speech and ac tion and thought and deed to the best of hi* ability, because he ad mires you above all other* and wishes to be like you. DO you ever slop to consider that some of hia so-called "badness" may be a re sult of his close daily observation and perception of YOUR activities* Santa Claus Is, always has been, and always will be, God willing, a symbol of the true spirit of the QirUtraas season. He is the per sonification of the happiness and Joy and "peace on earth" which came to tho- world on that first Christmas morn when our Savior, tho Son of God, woa born in human form. How, then, con you use him, or hia name, in connection with any form of punishment? If a child has been imprudent, there ore proper ways and means of reprimanding him or correcting his behavior, hut that la a responsi bility of parenthood that should NgVKR' be delegated to Santa Olaua. ? .

This project is being carried out on a national level. into the closest proximity of Santa. Please do not do this. It is possi ble that by so doing you are creat ing a fear complex that the child may require years to eliminate. Be guided by the child's reaction. If he wishes to come near to Santa, by all means allow him to do so; If he wishes to keep his distance, respect his feelings in this regard. Finally, do not speak in deroga tory terms of Santa Claus, or of the spirit and the season for which he is a symbol. Right In Morehead City, one day shortly before Christmas, a grandmother stood beside Santa's chair and kept re iterating to her grandchild such statements as "Look at this ugly old man!" "Isn't he an ugly old man?" "Come and talk to this ugly old man!" Now, it is perfectly true that Santa is no model of the beautiful. His figure is cumbersome and un gainly; his costume is traditional, and certainly not in the current mode; his hair and beard are long, and sometimes are wind-blown and tangled; hie face may be very red, and hit note bulbous. But bear in mind that he ia the symbol of a happy season; he Is the children's true Spirit of Christmas; he has Joy and peace and love in his heart, liow, then, can he be "ugly"? ' ?
