National Wildlife
Restoration Week
March 21 To 27
W. C. Bunch Emphasizes
Importance Conserv
ing Resources
As a result of conservation prac-
which Federal and State agen-
B-.s have employed during the past
years to perpetuate America’s re
newable wildlife resources, many sub
stantial contributions are being made
today to the national war program,
asserts William C. Dunch, repre
senting the Fish and Wildlife Service,
United States Department of the In
terior, as superintendent, at the
Edenton Fish Hatchery.
“While conservationists all over I
the country are calling public at
tention to the sixth annual obser
vance of National Wildlife Restora
tion Week from March 21 to 27, this
is a good time to review the benefits
derived from conserving our fish and
wildlife resources,” Bunch empha
sized. This special week, he ex
plained, was inaugurated by presi
dential proclamation in 1938 and is
sponsored by the National Wildlife
Federation.
With so much emphasis being
placed today on food, the commercial
fisheries of the United States and
Alaska, Bunch pointed out, contri
bute nearly 5 billion pounds of fish
and fishery products, the bulk of
which is used as food. This impor
tant source of protein food ranks
second in volume, following pork and
beef, among the various sources of
animal protein. “In fact,” Bunch
added, “fishery contributions of food
and essential by-products are so
great that without them the" ability
of the Nation to wage war would he
lessened materially”
With the present severe shortage
of domestic meats due to the neces
sity for shipping such large quanti
ties to our armed forces and to our
allies, wild species provide a food re
source that is becoming increasingly
important. “A deer or an elk or a
pheasant or creel of fresh-water
fishes taken by a sportsman and
used in the home or given to his
friends releases an equivalent amount
of beef, pork, lamb or poultry that
can be consumed by the public or
made available for military needs,”
Bunch said. “The extent of contri
bution to the Nation’s food supply is J

has been justified by the many sales we have recently made. |j
Because of these sales, we have now built up our Used Car |j

ever had during our 16 years of automobile business.
We now have on hand 6 Pickup Trucks, 2 Panel Trucks, [|

surprising.”
“As custodians of our national
wildlife resources,” Bunch empha
sized, “all Americans are responsible
for their wise use. While we must
strive to make those resources yield
the maximum in food and recreation
y\ in wartime consistent with good
management, on the other hand we
must not allow conservation gains
made during the past 50 years to be
lost. No one should stand idly by
5 and permit the stupid and wasteful
exploitation of these resources un
der the guise of wartime emergency.
"While the aspect is encouraging
in every field of wildlife conserva
tion, the purpose now must be to
hold those gains, even though the
programs which made them possible
' cannot be carried forward under ex
isting conditions. The cost of the
effort necessary to preserve that
which has been built is small compar
-1 ed to its value. Wise husbandry of
food resources is necessary in peace
-1 time; it is utterly essential to a na
tion at war,” Bunch concluded.

THE CHOWAN HERA- EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1943
[ Guard Gossip I
From
26th Co. N. C. State Guard
Edenton, N. C.
Major William A. Blount of Wash
ington, N. C., commanding the 2nd.
Bn., N. C. S. G., visited the local or
ganization last week. The Company
went through several formations, in
cluding Interior Guard Duty, and
Major Blount was highly complimen- j
tary of the progress made by the.
Company.
Though Captain J. Frank White, j
Jr., and Lieutenants Marvin Wilson
and Leslie Morgan were scheduled to;
leave this week for Fort Bragg to
attend a 10-day training course, only
the two lieutenants are at Fort
Bragg. Captain White was advised
by his physician to remain at home
due to an eye infection.
All officers making a visit to this
Company have more than once spok
en of the high type of personnel in
the organization. Major Blount said
j it is the best looking outfit from the j
standpoint of personnel that he had
seen so far, and that with the men
interested as they are, we should be
one of the ranking companies in the
State Guard.
It is very apparent that Lieut.
Morgan has been in the combat zone
from the patch on his left temple.
He says, however, this was caused
from an accident with his team in the
logging business, a horse having
kicked him there. Evidently the
horse made contact. Maybe that
was a combat zone after all, with
Lieut. Morgan being on the defensive
without any defense.
The biggest man in the Company,
Jay Coffey. The smallest man in
the Company, Mack Ward.
We wondered why Captain White
was all smiles at the last drill. We
found out. He had been the receiver
of some mighty useful gifts. Sgt.
S. A White, (no relation) a buddy of
Captain White in civilian life, mailed
him a nice Ronson cigarette lighter,
with his name engraved on it, with
congratulations. Captain White has
enjoyed displaying it around too.
He also received from Supply Sgt.
Ernest Swannery a desk piece. It’s
pretty, too, made of solid oak, var
nished and has his name in gold leaf
letters, “J. F. White, Jr., Capt. 26th
Co., NC SG.”
We bet Sgt. Earl Harrell had burn
ed biscuits or scorched soup for one
dinner last week. Sgt. Harrell had
the misfortune of having a fire at
his home right at noon time, when an
oil stove exploded. However, it was
not the fault of Mrs. Harrell, and no
insinuations are being made of her
cooking. Mrs. Harrell received some
badly burned hands, we understand.
15 Scouters Complete
Scoutmaster’s Course
Fifteen men in the Tidewater Dis
trict recently completed a scout
masters’ course which is said to be
the most interesting and instructive
ever participated in by Don King,
Scout executive.
Those completing the course were
John A. Holmes, H. A. Campen.
Geddes Potter. C. W. Overman, C. E.
Kramer and Mike Harris of Edenton:
the Rev. Herbert Miller and' L. O.
Pierce of Sujibury; Dan Hackett, J.
E. Crowe, Leander Own ley, Godfrey
Stallings, Fred Howard, Raymond
Collier and Norman Shannonhouse, of
Elizabeth City.
H. A. Campen is district chairman,
and because of the success of this
course, he is planning to have a troop
camping course in the near future.
Baltimore Man Chosen
Director Os USO Club
(Continued from Page Onei
of the Service Men’s Recreation
Committee, has spent a considerable
amount of time in working on the es
tablishment of a USO Club and was
no ljttle elated early this week when
he was assured that his efforts had
developed into a realty and that it
will be in charge of a man with the
reputation of Mr. Martin. However,
Mr. Benson desires to emphasize the
fact that the appointment of Mr.
Martin as director does not relieve
the community of its responsibility
to assist in the usefulness of the
club. Mr. Benson plans very shortly
to call a meeting of the various
committees in order to proceed as far
as possible until Mr. Martin arrives
to begin his duties as director.

Side by side with the growth of American Industry is the j
growth of American Labor, which alone has made it pos- T

from participation in practice black

duction being for war purposes. This
exemption was granted on recommen
dation of the local Defense Council.
The otfier was doubtless the city
dump, which became very bright due
to a rising wind at that time.
The red light referred to was a
large neon sign in the business dis
trict, which was switched on when
the sefcond “Blue” signal was given,
the proprietor thinking it was the all
clear signal. The wardens in that
block got busy and the light was cut
off within a brief period, but per
haps the plane was passing just at
that moment.

of perfecting the best method of con
: trolling the situation at the trash
dump during future practice black
outs, as well as the “real thing,"
should it come.
A committee consisting of R. N.

rum was appointed to cooperate with
Doctors R. H. Vaughan and L. P.
Williams in working out the most
feasible plan for participation of
their Emergency Medical Corps (First
Aid).
It was decided to arrange black
out curtains at both of their build
ings, but this presents a major prob
lem. It is hoped, however, that a
satisfactory plan will be adopted, as
the Defense Council has invested up
ward of S2OO in equipment for these
two first aid stations and seven
thoroughly capable men and women
are assigned to each.
