Oysters
(Continued (rom Page 1)
North Carolina oysters are,
thanks to legislation enacted by the
1M? General Assembly at the re
quest of the Department of Con
servation and Development, getting
better opportunities to grow
This legisljtion is known as the
Oyster Rehabilitation Act. This
legislation has enabled Director
Ben E. Douglas o( the Department
of Conservation and Development
and Assistant Commissioner Hol
land to carry on and broaden op
portunities for the state's oyster in
dustry.
Better Protected
The 1947 act not only provided
for greater protection of North
Carolina oysters but it also re
quired the C&D Department to ex
ereise closer supervision over oys- |
sters in their growing as well as
in their marketing stages.
The CIcD Department has receiv
ed excellent cooperation from the
Institute of Fisheries Research, an
agency of the University of North
Carolina. The institute, .which is
under the direction of William A.
Ellison Jr., is carrying on constant
studies of finfish and shellfish
found and caught in state waters.
Dr. A. F. Chestnut, assistant to
Mr. Ellison and chief of the mol
lusk investigations for the Insti
tute of Research, says the oyster
rehabilitation program has resulted
in the improvement of the sani
tary rating of the Tar Heel bivalves
to such extent that they now rank
with the best in the nation from a
health sandpoint.
The high sanitary rating given
North Carolina oysters when they
are taken to market has been
brought about by close cooperation
by the Department of Conservation
and Development with the shellfish
sanitation office of the State Board
of Health and with agencies of the
federal government.
(iood Sanitary Rating
McKeithan Caldwell, who main
tains an office here in the head
quarters of the C&D Department's
commercial fisheries division, and
his assistants carry on constant in
vestigations of shellfish taken from
state waters and plants of those
who offer shellfish for sale at retail
and wholesale.
Strict enforcement of the cull
law written into the 1947 oyster re
habilitation statute is also helping
imptove the quality of Tar Heel
oysters. Under this law oysters
taken from publicly owned bottoms
must be culled where caught and
if they arc less th *n two and one
half inches at their longest diam
eter they must be returned to wa
ters from which they are taken.
Dredgers as well as dealers gener
ally admit the cull law is one that
is beneficial to the oyster industry.
1947 Act Pays Off
Still another section of the 1947
law is also paying off as the C&D
Department strives to build up the
state's oyster industry.
This is the law imposing a state
tax of 50 cents a bushel on all
oysters shipped in the shell out
side the state The result is that
more North Carolina oysters are
now being marketed as North Caro
lina oysters and not given labels as
having been grown in some other
State.
Thanks also to the 1947 act, Hol
land and his aides now have more
oyster shells to plant in bottoms
from which they have been taken
and in areas where shells are need
ed by young oysters which must
have something to which to attach
themselves if they are to grow
to anything like maturity.

Women 'Do It
Themselves'
The do-it-yourself erase has gone
to most women's heads. A survey
?f mure than 1,500 women con
cludes that 96 per cent of them
regularly do their own hair groom
ing.
Hair care includes shampooing,
conditioning, setting, massaging
and use of tonics and home perma
nents. According to the survey,
prepared by a beauty institute,
many women feel personal hair
conditioning i? practical.
Sixty per cent of the women
questioned live in urban areas, 40
per cent in rural sections. Income
seemed to havo little influence on
the frequency of home care: 32 per
cent of the women were over the
$5,000 bracket, 31 per cent from
$3,000 to $5,000, 37 per cent un
der $3,000.
Wide differences are shown in
methods of using hair preparations
successfully. Some women use
them before or after shampooings,
and some between washings.
Recommended by the institute is
a pre-shampoo treatment with a
pure petrolatum hair tonic and a
hot oil method which calls for)
law to give the state one-half of
his oyster shells for replanting pur
poses.
Knowing that storms and other
factors had caused extensive dam
age to oysters last season, Director
Douglas* directed Commissioner
Holland earlier this year to in
crease the planting of seed oysters
as well as the planting of more
shells in publicly owned oyster
bottoms.
As a result of these increased ef
forts, more than 34,000 tubs of
seed oysters were planted this sea
son in the waters of Carteret, Pam
lico. Hyde, Onslow, Fender, New
Hanover and Brunswick Counties.
These oysters will not reach full
maturity for three years and in
the meantime they will be protect
ed as they grow.
In addition to the record plant
ing of seed oysters, the C&D De
partment put out some 34,000 bush
els of shells in bottoms known for
[their productivity of oysters in the
past. These shells were planted
largely in waters of Pamlico, Hyde
and Carteret Counties.
