Deer Hunters Plentiful
(Continued irom page ll
us own any land; it is just
loaned to us for a while."
F. P. Whitley, rural mail
carrier, said that he knew that
he was in the minority, but that
when the deer season opens he
always breathed a sigh of relief
when he returned safely to the
Warrenton post office. This was
because of tne hazardous way
in which the hunters parked
their cars, often he would have
to wait until trucks were moved
in order to continue his travels
with the mail. He said he was
gratified to see one truck
bearing a sign urging all deer
hunters to park on the same
side of the road.
Mrs. Panthea Twjttv said
that she feels that the trucks
are a hazard and told of an
incident where sharp application
of her car brakes was all
that saved her from injury from
deer hunters' trucks entering
the highwav from a side road in
the path of her car.
Her husband. Henry F.
Twitty. told the group how
hunting was conducted from
stands at the annual hunts at
Butner.
Speaker after speaker pointed
out that in Halifax County
where hunting from the road is
forbidden there were three
hunting deaths last year, but
that there had been none in
Warren County: that they felt
that roadside hunting offered
an opportunity for older
citizens to enjoy hunting, and
that they felt it is a great deal
safer to be on the road shooting
into the woods instead of being
in the woods shooting toward
the highways. They said that
thev felt that the use of rifles
was safer than a shotgun as the
rifleman had to see his target in
order to aim. whereas the
shotgun hunter often blasted
awav.
The proponents of highwav
hunting admitted that there
was sume illegal fit riving, "Ul
those who park illegally should
be arrested by the highway
patrol and/or local law enforcement
officers, they said.
George Hunter, who lives in
the Areola section where there
are many deer, said that he
favors hunting from the
highways, but he had a rule
that no rifles could be used by
those hunting on his property.
Matt Nelson. Jr., who farms
a 2000 acre tract of land, said
that he was both a farmer and a
deer hunter and could therefore
understand the problems of
each. He said that he had deer
hunters send their dogs across
his land, and abuse his property
in other ways and his son
narrowly missed being shot by
a deer hunter who blasted
away. He said he felt that there
was a great deal of misconcep
tion about this danger of
hunting with a "high powered"
rifle, in reality a "high velocity"
rifle. Most of these are the
same calibre as the army rifle.
He quoted from a card issued
bv an arms manufacturer. This
rifle, he said, would shoot for a
distance of two miles, but in
order to do so its barrel would
have to be elevated. From the
time the hullet leaves the
barrel it begins to drop, and
this increases as the bullet loses
velocity. Therefore, he said, a
rifle aimed at the height of a
rieer would have its bullet
strike the ground in a short
distance.
Shortly after Nelson's re
marks those present cast their
votes in favor of not changing
the law.
Following the meeting the
commissioners received a
number of petitions concerning
deer hunting regulation. Manager
Charles Haves said
vesterdav that more than 200 of
these petitions favored no
change in the present law. and
11 favored changes in the law.
New raoric process
Keeps Out Wrinkles
A new process for treating
cotton makes popular denim
fabric wrinkle-proof and shrink
resistant.
The process, identified by the
trademark "Sanforset." has mei
with such good consumer
reponse that there is already a
shortage of the material,
material.
Fabrics treated by the
process are currently available
from only one mill, but others
are planning to install the
equipment necessary to duplicate
the process. Several
manufacturers of jeans and
leisure wear are alreadv using
the material in a number of
their garments.
"This new process will make
the care and maintenance of
denim clothing much easier for
mothers." says Judieth Walker,
extension clothing specialist at
North Carolina State University.
The process involves applying

Muzzle Loaders
Though they have modern
weapons, hunters in the
mountains of Pakistan's Northwest
Frontier use muzzle-loaders
more than 100 years old.
The reason is economy.
National Geographic says. A
rifle cartridge costs about 40
rents, hut powder and lead for a
muzzle-loader cost only 2 or 3
rents a shot.
