PURPOSES OF
CONSERVATION
DEPT DEFINED
State Commission Has Many
Activities and Duties Pre-
scribed by Law
By Wade Lucas

Raleigh. - What is the North
Carolina Department of Conser-
walton 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-
ton 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 States chief executive.
In naming Douglas to direct
the far-flung activities of the de-
partment, Governor Umstead also
moved to strengthen the men,
berShip of the State Board of
Conservation and Development,
which determines policies of the
Department of Conservation and
Development. To the l5-member
board the Governor named some
of the States best known bust
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 &C
tive Craftsmanship of the State
Board of Conservation and De-
velopment at the new boards or
ganiational meeting in Morehead
City last July.
At Gov. Umstead's suggestion
the 1858 General Assembly had
terminated the terms of all mem
bers of the State Board of Con-
servation and Development as of
last May /. Shortly before the
boards scheduled meeting at
Morehead City, Gov. Umstead
named the following as members
of new CAD board:
Miles ]. Smith, Salisbury, first
vice chairman, Walter ]. Damtoft,
Canton second vice chairman,
Charles S, Allen, Durham, w. B.
Austin, jefferson, Carl Buchan,
Jr., North Wilkesboro, Scroop w.
Enloe, Jr., Spruce Pine, Robert
NJ. Hanes, Winston-Salem, Leo
H. Harvey, Kinston, Charles H.
Jenkins, Ahoskie, Amos Kearns,
High Point, Cecil Morris, Allan
tic, Hugh M. Morton, Wilmington,
Henry Rankin, Fayetteville, Eric
w. Rodgers, Scotland Neck, and
T. Max Watson, Spindale.
These men served as members
of the boards 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-
walton and Development is I'M
ique in comparison with that of
agencies engaged in conservation
and development activities in
other states.
Whereas in other states conser-
walton and development work is
generally carried on by numerous
organizations, it is distinctly diff
ferent in North Carolina. Here
such work is carried on on a
Statewide basis under one or
ganization, namely: The Depart
ment of Conservation and De-
velopment.
