By Lower Potomac Oystermen

of the lower Potomac set out at
sunrise today to tong what are
considered the most succulent
bivalves in the Chesapeake Bay

days behind the usual opening
season for the rest of the bay.
About so boats with two and
three man crews awaited the

more than 100 per cent increase
in population in the last five

FILA Will Recruit
1000 New Employees
In Is Area Offices

The Federal Housing Admins
tratio nhas announced a Nation
wide personnel recruiting pro-
gram to fill 1000 positions in the
IS FILA insuring offices.
In the face of a continuing
flood of applications for FHA-
insured home loans. FILA field
offices have need for additional
appraisers, construction exam
liners and inspectors, mortgage
loan examiners and other tech
nicians as well as more clerical
help. the agency said.
FILA Commissioner Norman P.
Mason pointed out that despite
special efforts that have been
made. the agency has reduced its
case backlog from 62.735 at the
end of October to ALTO by the
end of January. Then he eau
toned:
with the 1855 building sea-
son getting under way, it is vital
that we not only wipe out the
backlog but also be equipped to
process efficiently a growing
number of applications for FILA
mortgage insurance"
The income to result from the
greater volume of mortgage in
surance which is anticipated will
more than offset the additional
administrative operating expense,
he added.
All appointments are to be
made in the field by the directors
of the field Offices, the Commits
Sioner said.
