With urban and Industrial expansion
and a fast-growing human
population, hunters are
finding It Increasingly hard to
find a place to hunt. There
are, of course, thousands, of
acres of land owned by both the
state and federal governments
on which hunting Is permitted
for the payment of a fee. These,
however significant, 'simply
cannot supply all of the demand
for hunting territory.
About 85 or 90 percent of all
games is produced on privately
owned land.
Much of this pTivate land,
however, and especially in metropolitan
sections of the state,
has been posted. Hunt<*rs have
overrun much of this property,
and all too often, conducted
themselves In a manner
not conducive to beingwelcomed
with open arms. Farmers
get offended and put up "no
hunting" signs.
One suggestion, if you can find
the time, is to go to a section
of the state that is less
densely populated and where
hunting pressure is relatively
low. In these areas, most farm*
ers will allow hunting if thp
hunter first asks permission
and conducts himself in a gentlemanly
manner. A boxof candy
for the farmer's wife can
<:wpptpn tin thp .situation mn
siderably.
Another tip is to go farther
into the wbo'ds. it is surprising
how few hunters make a
real effort to get out into woodland
where game is apt to be
less shot at, and competition
with other hunters is not as
keen.
Commercial shooting preserves
offer quick, successful
hunting to busy business
men who can get away for a
few hours, and a guarantee
of getting off a few shots at
quail, pheasants, chukar partridge,
and domesticated but fast
flying mallard ducks.
For the most part, game Is
reasonably plentiful and a little
extra effort on the part of the
hunter, in courtesy and physical
energy, will get good results.
Fishermen, by nature, are
optimists. Some who are pessimists
may be described as one
who has listened to too many
optimists. Nevertheless, despite
a long dry spell and a continued
stretch of hot weather,
fall fishing is upon us. The guy
who waited all winter for spring
fishing got his reward; and the
guy who waited all of a long,
hot summer to get in some
cool-weather, cool-water fishing
will get his reward. Fish,
like fishermen, do not pay much
attention to the calendar. It is
the weather that counts.
Cards
Of Thanks
Copy for cards of thanks
must be in this office by
Tuesday night, earlier If
possible, accompanied toy
$1.00 to cover cost of insertion.
The family of the late Nannie
Davis Kearney wishes to express
their thanks to the many
friends and relatives for their
loyal services rendered during
her illness and death.
Thanks for the cards, food,
flowers, phone calls, and other
acts of kindness.
May God bless each one of
you.
THE FAMILY
I wish to thank my relatives,
neighbors and friends for all
the gifts, flowers, beautiful
cards and nice visits during
my four week stay at Maria
Parham Hospital In Henderson
and since my return home.
May God bless each and
everyone of you.
MINA DORTCH
I want to take this means of
expressing my deepest appreciation
to my many friends,
relatives and neighbors for
the lovely get well cards, gifts,
visits and prayers I received
while a patient in Duke Hospital.
Special thanks to the ones
that sent delicious food to my
husband and me.
May God bless each of you.
MRS. VAN COLEMAN
The family of Mr. Robert J.
Williams would llket to thank
their friends, neighbors and
relatives for the kindnesses
shown during the Illness and
death of our loved one.
May God bless all of you.
THE FAMILY
Hot daytime temperatures
over most of the state slowed
down daytime fishing In inland
waters. Cool nights, however,
lowered water temperatures
to the point where occasional
ball and pan fish come to the
surface to make a reasonably
enthusiastic grab at a surface
lure.
'Lack of rainfall diminished
the flow of mountain trout
streams, and clear water required
late-season route anglers
to use extra-long leaders
and to almost literally hide
behind trees or bushes to keep
from scaring the fish.
There is enough water in
the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent
sounds and river estuaries
to keep hot weather
from having a serious adverse
affect on coastal fishing. Until
the present writing there had
not been enough autumnal equinoctial
storms to seriously interfere
with offshore fishing
trips, and charter and head
boats going outside have returned
almost daily with good
catches of gamefish and bottomfeeding
species. This time of
year king mackerel are among
the best possibilities for game
fish. Within a few days dolphin
and billfish will have
Population Drop' Leaving Jobs Vacant In Warren
By KATIE HOOK
In The Durham Morning Herald
Iiwmigration Is about the only
thing Warren County can rely on
to fill many of the new Industrial
Jobs which have been
created in Wai ren County In the
past three years, according to
the county's Industrial development
director. "Half the county
is just about abandoned due to
mechanization," laments Frank
W. Reams.
Warren County Is heavily
agricultural. Only recently have
coordinated, hardhittingefforts
been made to bring in Industry
"to keep our people from moving
out," explained Reams.
"We have the heaviest migration
rate in North Carolina.
The county agricultural boom of
the 40s and 50s caught up with
us. Mechanization todc over, and
people had to move out to find
jobs."
According to the census reports,
Warren County has dropped
almost 8,000 in population
in the past 30 years. In 1940
moved farther south.
Biologists are uncertain
whether deep sea gamefish
migrate because of changing
water temperatures or the
length of daylight hours.
As one homespun philosopher
put it, people will understand
fish at about the same time
fish understand people; or, as
Luke Guppy put it, "You ain't
going'to learn much about fish
until you can swim like one."
over 23,000 people farmed and
worked In small stores around
the small county. By I960, the
figure had gone down to 19,652;
In 1970, Warren County dropped
to 15,292 residents,
"The population drop? It's
killing us," said Reams, who
took the industrial development
post in January 1968.
"But our per capita Income—
which is one of the lowest in
the state—has really gone up.
We have more income now than
when we had 23,000 people.
Why? Inflation. Mechanization
created more income per man
hour on the farm. And we do
have more Industry."
Prior to 1967, Warren County
had five industries other than
tobacco warehouses and lumbering
yards. These account for
approximately 550 jobs now,
according to Reams.
Much of the county was being
abandoned when tenant
farmer's and landowners moved
out, and the land was up for
sale pretty cheap. The lumbering
companies bought much of
it," said Reams.
Now that this potentially
trainable industry work force is
no longer available, 545to 1,145
additional jobs have been creat
ed through the location of
some 10 new industries in Warren
County.
The three largest new firms
are Jay-Too, a baby clothes
plant with 250 jobs; Cochrane
Eastern Inc., a furniture plant
which will eventually hire 400
people; and Harriet-Henderson
Textured Yarn Corp. ofNorllna
which also plans to hire 400
persons.
"We're In a position where
we have so many potential employment
opportunities that
we're going to have to bring
back these people who have migrated
or at least their equivalent
(In numbers,)" Reams
said.
He explained that through
personal contacts and advertising,
the Warren County Industrial
Development Commission
hopes to return at least 500to
600 families to the county in the
next two years.
The commission was formed
in 1964 but "got into full
swing" in 1968 said Reams. He
was a consultant with the
commission one year prior to
being employed on a part time
basis • as executive director.
Warren County is not now
zoned in its entirety. "That's
the first thing new industries
ask us," said Reams, who explained
the county's surging
popularity as an industrial site
as an economic factor related
to potential labor forces.
Parts of the county are zoned,
but Reams hopes that all portions
can eventually come under
zoning regulations.
What Warren County now has,
said Reams, is a new airport
for light planes, water and
sewer, "extensive recreation
facilities," preparations for a
housing authority to handle
residential needs and a desire
"to keep our young people here
and to bring the otters back."
