Government To Make Refuge For Wildfowl • Agency Approves Move This Week • Refuge to be Located At Cedar Island Purchase of Cedar Island land as a national wildfowl refuge was approved' This week in Washington by the Migratory Bird Conserva tion commission. Amount of the acreage involved is reported at 16,200. It will be known as the Cedar Island Nation al Wildfowl Refuge. Walter Tefch, president of the Carteret County Wildlife club, said Wednesday that the establishment of a wildfowl refuge on the island has been in the wind for two or three years. Chib officials have been aware that the federal government was interested in the project and en couraged the establishment of the refuge. He said surveyors have been at work in the area. Odell Merrill, county register of deeds, said that he had no record in his office in the courthouse of any option on the land, however. It is expected that steps toward acquisition will be taken by the Department of the Interior through the Atlanta office of the Bureau of Sports Fisheries and Wildlife. Estimate of cost of the land has not been given. It is reported that most of it is owned by persons who do not live in this county. The area will be developed to provide natural feed for water fowl. According to law, up to 40 per cent of the refuge could be opened to hunters. Tbe county wildlife club has al ready established two small ref uges in the county, one in the Sal ter Path area and one in the vi cinity of Harkers Island. It is pointed out that establish ment of protected areas for wild fowl not only conserves the sup ply but also makes for better hunt ing in nearby areas. 13 Members Attend Bogue Club Meeting Thirteen members of the Bogue Home Demonstration club met at the home of Mrs. Frieda McCabe last week.
