Sept.—A spokesman for the North Carolina Wildlife [ Federation today took recogniz ance of rumors being circulated to the effect that the 1945 amend ments to the state game and fish laws “contain all the desirable features of the Wildlife Federa tion’s bill for the 194 1 General Assembly.” j Thomas J. White of Kinston, I chairman of the Federation’s Leg -1 islative Committee, commented t that “if these rumors reflect the | conception of their authors as to what is necessary to give the __ ~ Box of 72 2.59 Over a Month's Supply!

MOL NTAIN NEWS Phone 2312 hunters and fishermen of North Carolina adequate game and fish management and some value for the several hundred thousand dol : lars exacted from them annually \ in hunting and fishing fees, it is i little wonder that thousands of ’ | thoughtful sportsmen are realiz | ing the necessity for the legisia -11 tion sponsored by and proposed by the North Carolina Wildlife Fed eration.” i > White further stated that under . the Wildlife Federation bill which 1 will be introduced at the next ses sion of the General Assembly a nineman commission representing nine geographic districts of the state would be appointed by the , governor. This commission, he ex , plained, would be composed of , men “interested in and having knowledge of game and fish man i agement and problems incident thereto.” The terms of the nine appoint ! ees. White added, would be so ar- I ranged that less than a majority j of the commission could be ap i pointed during the term of any I one administration. This would make possible the continuation of a game and fish program longer than four years at a time. Further more, White added, this would i guard the game and fish popula tion from the ravages of politics | and insure the continuation of a | game program long enough for it to bear fruit. White expressed the opinion that the study made over the state in the past two years by hunters and fishermen and knowledge thus acquired win enable sportsmen and wildlife lovers to recognize the circulated rumors as an effort to dissipate their efforts. Such rumors as these. White added, will only spur hunters and fishermen to work harder for passage of legislation which will put game and fish management on a sound basis in this state. “The people of North Carolina want to see the state’s wildlife re sources managed and conserved for the benefit of all who would en joy them,” White affirmed. “The hunters and fishermen are not the sole sponsors of the proposed legislation; thousands of friends of the Wildlife Federation are working with its members to see that money collected from hunting and fishing license fees can and w-ill be used in a constructive, far reaching way so as to assure the boys and girls of North Carolina an opportunity to enjoy hunting and fishing in the years to come.” Set Date For Annual Red Cross Meeting 0 The Black Mountain-Swannanoa Chapter of the Ameritan Red Cross announces its annual meet ing for Monday, October 14. 7:30 p. m., at Black Mountain Metho dist church.

THEN TALKS, HEARS FIRST TIME IN 62 YEARS SEATTLE, Wash.—Claude Ber ger, a deaf mute for 62 of his 65 years, could talk and could hear the sound of his own voice—and to a man who had “prayed and pray ed and prayed for this” it was nothing short of a “miracle.” Berger took a tumble while at work in the army service forces depot. He said later he “just let out a yell” of fright and when a supervisor ran over to ask if he were all right, Berger said “I feel fine.” Capt. Rosario Sacco, surgeon at the depot, said there was no doubt about Berger’s former muteness. He suggested a childhood shock probably caused the defect, dis agreeing with Berger’s report that scarlet fever had robbed him of speech and hearing. The shock of the fall, the surgeon said, undoubt edly caused the restoration. WILLIE’S HOT SEAT IS IN WORKING ORDER LEESVILLE, La.—Louisiana’s portable electric chair worked ef ficiently.

Willie received a 30-day reprieve and may have | his death sentence commuted. —Mrs. Dixie Chambers was an 1 Asheville visitor Friday.

So have millions of Americans who this month are crowding the highways on their return to of fices, schools and homes through out the nation. Most vacationers are anxious to carry on in the happy carefree spirit that marked their holiday. But be forewarned, the Ameri can Red Cross First Aid and Ac cident Prevention Sendee points out—remember to draw the line between being “carefree” and “careless.” Driving in traffic, particularly such as that you are likely to en counter this month, requires alert attention on the road every min ute. Observe traffic regulations care fully, the Red Cross advises. An extra day at the seashore w-ould be pleasant, but if it means you must exceed speed limits or drive when you're excessively tired, it will not be worth it. If your vacation was something to dream about, don’t do your day dreaming while you are walk ing or driving in traffic. It might result in a permanent sleep. Remember, too, that September marks the return to school of mil lions of American children. Pay special attention to traffic warn ings and speed limits in school zones. Don’t view the traffic problem too lightly. Statistics show that since the war ended, traffic deaths have jumped more than 40 per cent over wartime averages and REEDS MOVE Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Reed have moved from Ridgeway Avenue to Bridewood on the Montreat Road. They are looking after the Dr. Bell residence. MET TUESDAY Circle two of the Presbyterian church met in the home of Mrs. Knoefel, Sr.. Tuesday at 3:15 p. m. Mrs. J. M. Baxter of Moore General Hospital visited in Black Mountain Saturday. Say You Saw It In The News the daily arrival of more new cars on the highway may be ex pected to increase the hazard, safety officials point out. Through its vast network of ap proximately 2,000 highway first aid stations and 10,000 mobile first aid units, the Red Cross is cooperating in the nation-wide effort to reduce traffic deaths and injuries. You can help by using common sense, both as a driver and pedes train. TOO MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT “Why did you shoot the man’s dog?” asked the judge. “I under stand the animal was perfectly quiet and never disturbed anyone.” “That's right,” admitted the culprit. “I’ve never heard him howl in all his life, but he always looked as if he was just going to. He’d come out into the yard a doz en times a night, squat down, look at the moon, draw in his breath, open his mouth and get set to howl from here to Swanville, then change his-mind, crawl under the porch, and go to sleep. No, he nev er howled, but the suspense was killing me.” BE LOYAL TO YOUR IDEALS It has often been said that the quality of a man’s ideals will de termine the excellency of his achievement. Many persons relin quish high ideals because they be come discouraged . . . others be cause they lose their sense of val ues and substitute the unimpor tant for the high goals to which they once aspired. In some of life’s situations it is necessary to be flexible and adapt oneself to the situation at hand, but there are certain fundamentals which a person’s own common sense re veals to him. Hold fast to those ideals, and you’ll find that you have led a richer, happier life that has contributed much to hu manity. S T OPPED HIM John Jones had become ex tremely proud of the fact that his wife was telling the neighbors that she had a model husband. He bored the gang in the office about it until one of them called him aside and suggested that he look up in the dictionary the definition of the word “model.” Jones got the dictionary and read: “Model—a small imitation of the real thing.” Phone 4301 For Radio Repairs Written Guarantee With Each Job Pick-Up and Delivery Sales and Service On Small Appliances Nickel Plated Flashlights SI 00 With Batt“ries GOFF RADIO SFPVTCE Opposite Post Office |BLACK MARKETS LEARN DSl’s STRIKING POWER 0 RALEIGH. America’s black j I market operators in lumber, tex- j tiles, used cars and other fields are learning the striking power of the DSL Theodore S. Johnson, OPA district director, said. The DSI, he explained, is the agency’s Division of Special Inves-, tigations, originally formed to j : protect ration currency from ; counterfeiting and thefts, but now j used to “crack down” on price j rackets in a number of different; fields. -The recent Leesville automo bile black market was investigat ed by the DSI men, as were the .big textile conspiracy cases in New York and Boston, the gigan- I tic lumber black market on the i Pacific coast, and the recent black ' market*buying and selling of com in lowa,” Johnson explained. One of the high points in the j DSl’s career came last month. •Johnson said, when 31 defendants 1 in Detroit were convicted in the | *3.000.000 used car conspiracy. Though stationed in OPA’s re ! gional cities and other metropoli tan centers, these special agents are under close national direction and may be sent swiftly to any part of the country where price activities indicate the need for criminay investigation, Johnson said, adding that DSI men are trained for both open and under cover investigation. DON’T USE DDT OVER CORN FED TO ANIMALS o While it is advisable to do ev erything possible to control pests in stored grain, still no feed or food treatment with DDT should be used for any animal. Seed treat ed with DDT should carry the POISON label. However. State College entomo logists suggest that DDT can be used to advantage, for example, in preventing insect damage to com used for seed. The crop should be harvested promptly before it becomes in fested in the field. Prior to stor age, the old grain should be re moved from the bins and the walls, ceilings, and floors sprayed with 5 percent DDT spray at the rate ; of 1 gallon to each 1,000 square | feet. This snray is made by add | ing four-fifths of a pound of 50 percent wettable DDT powder to 1 gallon of water. If the corn is not to be cleaned, graded, and sacked within a week after harvest, the pathologists suggest that 2 ounces of 5 percent DDT dust be added to each 100 pounds of com as it goes into storage. If the corn is to be processed dust may be thoroughly mixed with the seed. The com should not be handled much after treat ing because of the dust settling to the bottom of the sack. “Avoid breathing the DDT dust,” say the entomologists. “A respira tor is a good investment.” Mrs. Howard Edgerton of Wil liamsburg, Virginia, was a week | end visitor of her parents Mr. and j Mrs. J. E. Sylvester. Her husband, ! a student at Western Carolina Teachers’ College joined her for I the week-end.
