Abstract:
Long a dish of Southern tables, bullfrog legs are becoming highly popular in metropolitan centers like New York, Washington D.C., and Philadelphia, and North Carolina is highly suited to raising bullfrogs on a commercial scale. Large areas of marshland in the eastern part of the state, along with ponds statewide, are becoming home to frogs. As an example, Herbert E. Williams is busy collection bullfrogs to stock his ranch at Holly Ridge in Onslow County, North Carolina. With 10,000 frogs, Williams is ready for the leg market, and with the help of the staff of the Food Industries Section of the NC Department of Conservation and Development, they are hoping frog legs will be a thriving addition to the growing food processing industry in eastern North Carolina.

Abstract:
The 1953 North Carolina General Assembly will face struggles dealing with the problem of appropriations for the coming years. Given the heavy tax-take by the federal government and heavy industrial growth, the General Assembly will have to estimate how much will be available for allocation, which is estimated to not be enough for all major expenditures of the state. For example, a major consideration is the expansion of the main highway system through the state.

One of the most important of them was Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens’, “The Holy Family with St. Anne.” A donation from the Phifer family of North Carolina to the State Art Society was also important in broadening the collection, which is now at the North Carolina Museum of Art.
