Hears Of Owl
Work Overseas

The Importance of American
propaganda in combating Axis in
fiuence abroad was stressed by Ed
ward w. Barrett, executive director
of the overseas branch, ONCE of
War Information, in an address be-
fore the Woman's National Demo-
cratic. Club yesterday.
Guest speaker at the clubs weekly
luncheon. Mr.. Barrett who has
served with the owl overseas for
two years, explained the many
channels which are effective in pre-
senting to the people Of other
nations, both friendly and enemy,
a true picture OF America and Amer
leans.
He described the rapidity with
which leaflets are written, translated
and placed into shells which are fired
across enemy lines, telling Axis
soldiers truths which they learn for
the first time. He told of the radio
transmitters which carried mes
sages to the Italians shortly after
the Allied invasion, crediting this
propaganda with effecting the sur
render Of the Italian fleet. Mr.. Bar
rett said that trucks carrying sound
transmitters travelled throughout
the liberated areas of Italy giving
to many in that country the FIRST
truthful news they had heard in 20
years"
Moving pictures also form a strong
medium for presenting a true pic
ture OF America to the liberated
people OF North Africa and Italy,
the speaker continued, many of
these films being specially prepared
by owl for this purpose.
MIR. Barrett emphasized that owl
does not serve American troops with
news, which is handled by the War
Department, nor does its carry polit-
ical propaganda.
We are proud, however, to let the
people of Europe know that we can
hold our national elections without
impeding our war effort and that
whoever is elected President will
have the stuff for the job" he added.
Owl is now preparing for its
greatest work of propaganda, the
speaker concluded.
If we can shorten the war by
only three and three-quarter hours .
ne declared I'VE will more than pay
for ourselves"
Mr.. Barrett was introduced by the
new president, Mrs. William Clayton,
who presided for the first time since
her election.

The Atlantic Ocean, with its
emptying rivers and the adjacent
bays and sounds, is one OF the
important food sources for North
Carolina. In fact, the most i'm
portant seafood producing area
on the Atlantic Coast lies in the
states of Maryland, Virginia, and
North Carolina.
This State is fortunate that the
marine laboratory serving these
states is within its borders and
that the head of this laboratory,
DR.. H. F. Prytherch, is intensely
interested in the part which the
fisheries industry might play in
helping the farming industry. DR..
Prytherch's laboratory is located
on an island between Morehead
City and Beaufort in Carteret
county, but he is Federal coordi-
nator of fisheries for the entire
area of Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina.
Seven men assist him in the re-
search work underway at the lab
oratory but the coordinator has
more than he can do in working
with the various commercial
projects underway and advising
business interests concerned with
using the products Of the coastal
waters.
It was a pleasure to visit him
during the past week and to learn
of the untold resources of our
coastal waters.
For instance, DR.. Prytherch says
that we have not begun to utilize
properly the oyster shell taken
from the ocean. He is of the
opinion that it can be used to
great advantage as source OF
poultry and livestock feed for the
simple reason that it contains more
elements than does the old cal
cium cabornate lime. The shell
has traces of iron, zinc. copper,
and other minerals invaluable in
livestock and poultry development
and should be ground up and used
widely over the state.
About one-third of the shell
should 60 back into the ocean sc
that the young oysters may attach
themselves to this shell and thus
develop more rapidly and success
fully. This would leave about
100000 bushels of the shell to be
used for grinding into poultry ano
livestock feed.
