May We Present. ’The subject of our "May We Pre i|| sent” feature is Grady Combs, third shift warp hanger at 1 ligli Point. Ckad\- is an enthusiastic fox hunter and the picture at the right shows him with some of his favorite fox hounds. His dog pack ijresenth- consists of seven old dogs and five i)iip])ies. He usually t"arries some of the puppies along on each hunt for training. Grady says that the be.st fox hunting country is in Stokes County in the vicinity of Suaratown Mountain. Start ing out in the late afternoon, he and his friends often run the fox all night if he is not caught sooner. So vigorous is the role that the dogs play that they become complcteh- exhausted at the end of the run and have to be carried back to the car. Of course Grady doesn’t follow the dogs on foot but pursues the fox in his car. l''oxes are so ))lcntiful in Stokes County that they often times .slip into the local resident's back vard and kill chickens. Both the red and the gray variety are to be found in this vicinity. Gradv- has a trailer which he uses for hauling the dogs and on a tv))ical hunt, he and his companions carry approximatelv- 20 to ^0 dogs in the pack. He says that the season will really be getting good in the spring. W’e are sorry that we are not able to arrange a picture of Gnidy with one of the foxey little craitures since spring is still just around the corner.
