What is the North Carolina Department of Conser vation and Development? What responsibility is it charg ed with under the laws of the State? What comprises it and how is it operated? These questions are being ask ed in various sections of North Carolina as a result of the step ped up activities of the depart ment under the personal direc tion of Governor William B. Umstead and since Ben E. Doug las, former Charlotte mayor and businessman, became its director last July 20 by appointment of the State’s chief executive. In naming Douglas to direct the far-flung activities of the de partment, Governor Umstead also moved to strengthen the mem bership of the State Board of Conservation and Development, | which determines policies of the Department of Conservation and Development. To the 15-member board the Governor named some of the State's best known busi ness men. Adding further emphasis to what he had said in his inaugural address last January when he de clared “The words ‘Conservation and Development’ include many things so important to the de velopment of North Carolina,” Governor Umstead took over ac tive chairmanship of the State Board of Conservation and De velopment at the new board’s or ganiational meeting in Morehead City last July. At Gov. Umstead's suggestion the 1953 General Assembly had terminated the terms of all mem bers of the State Board of Con servation and Development as of last May 1. Shortly before the board's scheduled meeting at Morehead City. Gov. Umstead named the following as members of a new C&D board: Miles J. Smith. Salisbury, first vice chairman. Walter J. Damtoft, Canton .second vice chairman, Charles Sr Allen, Durham, W. B. I Austin, Jefferson. Carl Buchan, I Jr., North Wilkesboro. Scroop W. Enloe. Jr., Spruce Pine, Robert M. Hanes, Winston-Salem, Leo H. Harvey, Kinston. Charles H. Jenkins. Ahoskie, Amos Kearns, High Point, Cecil Morris, Atlan tic, Hugh M. Morton, Wilmington. [ Henry Rankin, Fayetteville, Eric |W. Rodgers, Scotland Neck, and i T. Max Watson, Spindale. I These men served as members |of the board’s standing com mittees, ■which fix policies for carrying out by departmental di visions subject to full action by the Board of Conservation and Development. They were ap pointed for terms of from two to six years. Established in 1925 Established by Act of the North Carolina General Assembly of 1925, the Department of Conser vation and Development is un ique in comparison with that of agencies engaged in conservation and development activities in other states. Whereas in other states conser vation and development work is generally carried on by numerous organizations, it is distinctly dif ferent in North Carolina. Here such work is carried on on a State-wide basis under one or- I ganization, namely: The Depart ment of Conservation and De velopment. When it was created in 1925 during the administration of Governor A. W. McLean of Lum berton, tne department originally brought together the then se parate Geologic and Economic Survey, the Forest and Parks ad ministration, 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 com prised of seven divisions, namely: tising, Forestry, Parks and Re creation, Commercial Fisheries, Water Resources, Inlets and Coastal Waterways, and Mineral Resources. Policies of the department are determined by the Governor and 15 members of the State Board of Conservation and Development. Charged with carrying them out is Douglas, who gained quite a reputation in his home city of Charlotte as a builder and de veloper before he was requested by the Governor to become di rector of the C&D Department. Douglas as director is also charg ed with over-all supervision of the department's seven divisions. Prescribed Duties As prescribed in General Sta tutes 113-3 and 113-15, the duties of the Department of Conserva tion and Development include ac tion and aid: 1. In the promotion of the con servation and development of the natural resources of the State. 2. In promoting the develop ment of commerce and industry. 3. In promoting a more profi table use of lands, forests and waters. display FRIDAY l' I \ I ' \ \» ' / L—•• /I / fessiiSiijßl / / / The new 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-door sedan.
