A. Bradshaw, district warden, and D. M. Birchfield, county warden, turned one fox loose in the cojnty last week and .Mr. Bradshaw carried I three more to the State game refuge. i 1 which citizens of the county had cap- 1 tured and were holding in captivity. | One of the foxes had been caught by John Cearley at the mouth ol' i Persimmon Creek near Bearpaw. ! This one was turned loose. Three others were being held cap- [ tive at the home of Claude Iledricks ont The Hiawassee Rivtfr nuar the ; mouth of Grape Creek. Mrs. Hedrick j objected to these being turned loose ; because they had been destroying her , ducks and chickens, and Mr. Brad shaw carried them back with him. Mr. Birchfield stated that some of the fox hunters of the county had ! voiced objections to the foxes being taken out of the county, claiming that their game stock would be t depleted. Mr. Birchfield stated that ' the foxes could be returned to the county by someone making applica tion to the state for them. He also explained that it was a violation of : the state game laws for any person ' or persons to have in captivity any game animal or game fowl without a i permit from the state. Since objections have been raised, | Mr. Birchfield stated that it was against the law to fox hunt, or hunt in any manner for any kind of game animal without hunting license, and a check of the records had revealed , that those fox hunters who had raised ! objections had never had state license i for hunting. The license for hunt ing will be on sale about the first of August for the next open season, and all fox hunters and all other hunters ' are required to have licenses before 1 they can hunt. Mr. Birchfield stated that he and Mr. Bradshaw were acting under or ders from the Department of Con servation and Development, and he would appreciate it if any other per sons in the county had foxes Or other game animals in captivity and did not want to turn them loose and did not , want to keep them to notify him and | he would see that they were remov- i ed to the state game preserve. Mr. E. E. Davis has accepted a po sit:on with the Cherokee Furniture 1 Company, MurphyV new store lo- ' cated in the building formerly occu pied by W. D. Townson. PARKWAY ROUTE INVOKES STATE WIDE INTEREST Movement to Beautify Washington Smoky Mountains Route Gets Attention of Department ASHEVILLK, .June 22. ? Thc move ment to establish the Capital Park way. a motor route from Washington i>. C. to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, has invoked state-wide interest in a program to enhance the 1 eauxy of all the highways in X. C. State Highway System. A preliminary survey of a state-vide highway beau tification plan, is now being prepar ed for K. It. Jeffress,chairman of the N. C. Highway Commision. by Earl S. S. Draper, landscape architect of Charlotte, N. C. The survey was in spired as a result of the plan to mark and beautify the Parkway route. The pro; osed r< ute of the Capital Parkway extends from Washington D. C. through Richmond Va.. Raleigh Greensboro, Salisbury. Charlotte, Ash veille and other cities to the great Sniokifs at B*yson City N. The movement to establish the route has re.cred added impetus from recent meetings held at Raleigh, Richmond and Washington. An organization i meeting at which plans for the mark ing, beautifying and advertising of the motor route, will be placed in ac tive operation, will be held a . ear ly date at Greensboro N. C. Dr. L. IV. M??r>?. of Chimney Rock N. (\. ;s chairman of the committee in charge of the organization v.-ork. If plans ??t the Capital Parkway committee bear fruit, ih, motor route ??? ill he one of t!?r most attractive i touring routes in the south with the borders of the highway landscaped jwi:h rubbery and with bare cuts : and banks covered with attractive I vines ami flov* '??ring plants. The Par kway route will lie marked every five 1 riles with distinctive highway mar I keiv. A sujv y recently conducted by Kln.er Jenkins, .Manager of the tour i *ng bureau ? f the American Automo : bile A-sm iation at Washington, in .which 2,000 motor trailers wer(. queried, revealed the fact that North Carolina was second state in the C nited States as a preferred touring region. Good - ads and scenic attrac tions were reasons given for the pro of the motorists. Although no defin ite plans have been made by Mr. Jef feres for the beautificat n of the statehigbways it is believed that the state highway commission will follow the example set by the Capital Park way, in making highways of the sta temore at t 'active to motorists.
