By JOHN SKIES

In nosing around the various fish
places in the vicinity, I've been
Interested in the methods Of seal
ing fish, ct cetera.
This interest isn't merely aca-
demic. You see, in the past few
days we've reviewed herein mat
ters pertaining to the oyster, lat
est of which matter was the new
method of opening them as worked
out by my friend DR.. Herbert
Prytherch, Beaufort, who gives the
bivalves a tumbling water bath
along with shot of soda water
to get them to open their mouths.
Well, if I were to tell you that
another friend of mine worked out
method for scaling fish you might
be bit hesitant about believing
this. But, I assure you, this is the
truth.
There was time, a few years
back, when I had occasion to want
some four or five thousand pounds
of fish, mainly of the small variety,
scaled each day. Now, the usual
method of scaling was to have a
dozen or so Negro women work on
the fish with the usual scaling
knives.
After some confere1cing, we de-
cided this method was entirely too
slow. So my friend, Capt. Donnie
Davis, set forth with his inventive
genius to see what could be done.
Up he came with a water pres
sure method of scaling the fish.
And, so far as I know, the method
he worked out was, and is, abb
solutely new. Whether Captain Da
ever got patent on the process
| I do not know at this time. But
from memory I'll try to tell you
Ihow t. contraption worked.
Captain Davis rigged out an end
less belt about eight inches wide.
This belt had sharp spears affixed
to If so that fish could be spiked
onto them. The belt ran through a
couple of tanks and in these tanks.
were many small jets of water
which were played against the fish
the wrong way, which is to say the
lets of water were played against
the scales in such way the scales
were lust naturally washed away.
The rig was quite inexpensive,
yet it would scale upwards Of 1000

pounds of fish in an eight-hour day
with two men operating it. Cap
tain Davis, using one-horse pow
er motor, pumped the water used
for scaling up from the waters of
Calico creek at Morehead City at
which point the plant-North Car
olina Fisheries-was located.
The scaled fish were used for
making fillets. The types of fish
were mainly pan trout and sea mul-
let's. The machine did the work of
anywhere from Is to 20 Negro wom-
en-. And not only did the work,
but did it so much better. That is,
the fish, in coming out from under
their descaling bath, were not
bruised in the least.
The machine, incidentally, could
keep ahead of a crew of filleters
some time numbering as many as
so. The filleting was done by white
girls trained especially for the
purpose of filleting the small North
Carolina fish that are caught in
such large quantities in and around
Royal Shoals in Pamlico sound.
Captain Davis was not an in
ventor. Indeed, he wasn't even
a scientist. He simply had lived
on the North Carolina coast all his
life and had made lifelong study
of fish.
An interesting commentary on all
this was the fact that we had gone
up to the state of Maine, when we
organized the North Carolina Fish
cries, and hired an ichthyologist.
Now, this ichthyologist, very
nice chap who later went to ia

NAM VS.. OPA

The National Associat ton Of Manu-
facturers is exerting it's full influence
and power to have all federal controls
removed from manufactured goods The
chief opponent the Association must
deal with is Chester Bowles, long head
of the Office of Price Administration
and present economic stabilizer, chief
advocate of the administrators wage
price policy, who, in the pattern of the
labor leaders responsible for the strikes
that long interrupted reconversion, calls
the Association the sponsor Of an "lr-
responsible, reckless, and greedy lobby"
This habit of name-calling is rapidly
becoming reproach to the nation. 1t
is time men in high places, civilian,
official and labor, stopped trying to
achieve their purpose by invective in
stead of argument.
However, the points at issue between
the manufacturers and the OPA, which
is the agency for enforcing the wage
price policy, is the regulation Of prices
and it's associated evils, which the manu-
facturers declare would drive them into
bankruptcy if they attempted to pro-
duce and sell consumer goods under
it's baneful provisions. What they want
is the lifting of all controls and a
free hand to turn out their products
at capacity production. If there is a
threat of further initiation in this, they
declare, it would be overcome as quick
ly as their plants, working without
restraint, turned out enough goods to
meet the demand.
On the other hand, advocates of con-
trolls claim their policy is the one way
to prevent runaway initiation.
Between the two, and because it has
served we'll in the past, the law of sup
ply and demand, which is at the roots
of the manufacturers program, ap
pears to have an advantage over con
trolls and regulated prices. When thu
first consumer goods. came into th'
market there would inevitably be ;
rise in prices, but when the secont
batch arrived the consequent competi
tion would as inevitably send price
down.
In view of the bundering and con
fusion government interference wit
business created throughout the wa
any further continuance thereof cal
be expected to prevent capacity pro
duction and full shelves in stores.
is time that free enterprise, which CAV
the United States it's distinctive pos
tion among the nations of the worl
for so long a time, were given chance
The trend toward paternalism in GOV
ernment ought to be halted withou
further ado.
