HONORARY TAR HEELS
MEET AT MACS HEAD

Initiating their adopted State,
whose denizens will rig up con-
vention, a clam-bake or barbecue
at the drop of hat, Honorary Tar
Heels, some 20 or more of them,
are holding their ninth North Caro-
lima meeting at Mays Head June
28-July /.
Joining with them are former
Governor Gregg Cherry, under
whose state administration the
group was organized, and Bill
Sharpe, who started the club when
he was head Of the State Advertis-
ing Division.
Unlike most honorary" groups,
such as Kentucky Colonies, the Tar
Heels really work at it. Composed
mostly of writers and photograph
ers who became interested in North
Carolina while working on assign
ments down here, the out-of-stat-
ers first met at the Hatteras lodge
of Joe Massoletti, who operates
three large restaurants in New
York. Since then they have met at
Morehead City, and Cataloochee
Ranch in the Smokes, in addit on
to impromptu meetings in New
York and Washington. The 1861
meeting is the third time they have
been guests Of the Carolinian Hotel
here.
Some of the members are more
familiar with the state of North
Carolina than are a lot of natives.
Ray Camp, of the New York
Times, for instance, has been MAX
ing two and three trips to North
Carolina annually for Is years.
Harold Martin in one year did six
stories on North Carolina for the
Saturday Evening Post. And Allan
Gould, a free-lance photographer,
has had North Carolina Iayouts in
a dozen major magazines, including
Saturday Evening Post, True, Pa
rade, Coronet. Among others in the
group are Len Roy of National
Geographic, Bob Reed, Country
Gentleman, John Stewart, Path
finder, Ray Trullinger, World Tele-
gram, Tom McAvoy, and Loomis
Dean, Life, and Arthur Godfrey,
Ted Malone of the radio.
The group has the entire lower
floor of the Carolinian. Activities,
as usual, will include much fishing
and on June 80 they will attend the
first performance of the Lost Col
ony in body.

BLUEFISH UNEXCELLED
FOR PROTEIN VALUE
Methods of Preparing a Favorite
FOOd-Fish of the CarOlinas

Bluefsh, the. d eight IF the
sportsman and one of Americas
finest food fish, is now plentiful.
Their streamlined and wellf1eshed
silver blue bodies, high in food
value and flavor, offer "a per cent
protein for each portion when
broiled or baked.
Occasional fish weighing as much
as Is pounds are caught, but the
average market size is two to five
pounds according to the Fishery
Council.
In buying for family needs, allow
one-half pound of dressed bluefsh
for each serving. Larger fish are a
better buy economically than the
smaller blues as the percentage of
edible portion increases with the
size of the fish.
Here are two recipes from "Fish
m Tips" the Fishery Councils
cook book, for bluefish:
FiIlet of Bluefish Indian River
Prepare bouillon by cooking thin
sliced carrots and onions in well
seasoned fish stock and white wine
for 20 minutes. Add a fillet Of
bluefsh and poach a minutes. Re
move fish and cool. Serve with some
of the vegetables cooked in the
bouillon. Mash a small amount of
avocado pear and mix with 2|3
mayonnaise, 1/3 catsup, and few
fresh chopped chives. Use as a
garnish for the fish.
BrOiled Bluefish
For those who prefer simpler
preparation, have the retailer split
a bluefsh. Then broil it, skin side
down, eight minutes under fun
flame, keeping the fish three inches
from the fame. Basic it when it is
put under the fame and again just
before it is finished. Use butter or
margarine.
