What responsibility is it charged with under the laws of the States? What comprises it and how is it operated ? These questions are being asked in various sections of North Carolina as a result of the stepped up activities of the department under the personal direction of Governor William B. Um stead and since Ben E. Douglas, form er Charlotte mayor and businessman, became its director last July 20 by appointment of the State’s chief exec utive. Tn naming Douglas to direct the far-flung activities of the department,! Governor Umstead also moved to' strengthen the membership of the' State Board of Conservation and De veiopment. which .determines- policies of the Department of Conservation . rind Development..

C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1968. .I&SCIENCE Jlfl awn CONQUERING DIPHTHERIA by Scianca Features Once the most terrible of all in fectious diseases that menace chil dren, diphtheria is being van quished by advances in medical science. Where cases do arise, ef fective weapons are on hand to combat them. For example, Michigan had 25 deaths from diphtheria for each - .__ 100,000 popula 4T) tion in 1920—a SU time when geed- S 7* antitoxins and f vaccines were JFp available. To | i day, that same * state has less “ than one death f caused by diph- I (fy>> / rX\ theria for each yS Na 100,000 people. * *. .Iff Over 80 per -• cent of all diph ! theria cases arise’in children below 1 ten years of age. The disease is | spread by children or adults who j have the disease, either with sjnhp- • toms or without them. The latter J , person is called a “carrier." Doctors recommend that ad chil | dren be innoculated against diph theria before the end of the first j- year. Because wide-scale immuni zation has become common in re cent years, there is a tendency for ; the disease to appear with greater frequency in older children who have neglected re-innoculation. Recent scientific reports show | that excellent results are obtained when the antitoxin is given to gether with an antibiotic. In one study six patients with acute diph theria treated with terramycin and antitoxin showed no signs of the disease after an average of 2.3 days treatment. Antibiotics also have been used to eliminate the diphtheria germs from carriers of the disease. tion, and the Commercial Fisheries Commission. A division for industrial development, now the Division of Commerce and Industry, was later created and merged with other units of the newly organized State agency. In 1937 the State Advertising Di vision was created and also made a part of the department. Today the department is comprised of seven divisions, namely: Commerce and Industry, Advertising, Forestry, Parks and Recreation, Commercial Fisheries, Water Resources, Inlets and Coastal Waterways, and Mineral Resources. Policies of the department are de termined by the Governor and 15 members of the State Board of Con servation and Development. Charged with carrying them out is Douglas, who guinea quite a reputation in his home city of Charlotte as a builder and develoner before he was request ed by the Governor to become direc tor of the C&D Department. Douglas as director is also charged with over all supervision of the department’s seven division-;. Prescribed Duties j As prescribed in General Statutes 113-3 and 113-15, the duties of the P'part’-e.ei.t of Conservation and De velopment include action and aid: 1. In the promotion of the conser vation and development of the natural resources of the State. 2. In promoting the development of commerce and industry. 3. In promoting a more profitable use of lands, forests and waters. 4. In carrying into effect a syste matic plan for the nationwide adver tising of North Carolina, properly presenting, by the use of any suit able advertising media, the true facts concerning North Carolina and all its resources. 5. In coordinating existing scien tific investigations and other related agencies in formulating and promot ing sound policies of conservation and development; and 6.

Test last year’s bulbs and see how many of them can be used again this year. We like to think of the Christmas season as one of joy and happiness, but some of the most tragic home ac cidents have happened during the yuletide season. Both fires and falls take heavy tolls during the holiday season. Miss Whisnant advises that you check and recheck your Christmas lighting fixtures, wires and plugs. A frayed wire or a damaged socket can be a source 'of grief. Miss Whisnant cautions, too, that in ENJOY^OUR^FDOD^AND y DIET AT SAME TIME If you’re on a diet there is no rea son why you cannot eat the same food as other members of the family.
