Urjforniiiyl.iG::: Regulations Is AIn Of Wtt Officers Almost complete state-wide unifor mity is the keynote' of the 1948-1949 hunting regulations 'set up by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission at a recent two-day meeting in Raleigh, according to Ex ecutive Director Clyde P. Patton. "The abolition of lay days --on all species of game," Patton said, "was done to accomplish a three-fold pur pose. By applying to the entire state, the ruling on removing lay days eliminates discrimination by permit ting all who buy a state-wide license to hunt in all counties on any day of the season. Their application to all game species will make possible more effective and efficient law en forcement. The removal of lay days can be proven biologically sound as a conservation measure." In eliminating lay days for the coming ssason ine commission con sidered the advantages of simplified regulations wjiich will be more easily understood by the public and more easily enforced by the law enforce ment division, plus the conservation benefits in a long-term program. The commission has taken a state-wide view on setting the regulations, to get away from confusing local county and township exceptions. Director Patton added that conservation-minded sportsmen jvill go along with the abolition of lay days especially in the case of quail. There is conclusive evidence that greater kills of quail are possible on days following a period of rest when scattered coveys have given a chance to re-form. The commission believes that all North Carolina sportsmen should have an equal opportunity to hunt regardless of place of residence. Following are the 1948-49 hunting regulations as established by the N. C Wildlife Resources Commission Quail November 25 to January 10 inclusive; daily bag eight, posses sion limit 16, season limit 100, ef fective over the entire state. Rabbits November 25 to January 10 inclusive; daily bag 7, possession limit 14, no season limit. The entire state will be opened to rabbit shoot ing. Squirrels October 15 through Jan uary 10, with a daily bag of 8, pos session limit of 16, season 100. Grouse November 25 through Jan uary January 10; daily bag 2, pos session limit 4, season limit 10. The entire state will- be opened to grouse shooting although the species is con fined to Western counties. Wild turkeys will benefit from a ruling which "is designed to protect the species and at the same time give , turkey hunters an opportunity for sport. Wild turkey shooting was restricted to a total of 11 counties last year with both gobblers and hens allowed in the bag. This year, however, the entire 'state will be opened to shooting, but only gob blers will be permitted as legal prey. Wild turkey shooting begins on No vember 25, and extends -through Jan uary 10 with a daily bag of 1, pos session limit 2, season limit 6. The "gobblers only" ruling follows a bio logical principle whereby a sex ratio of one gobbler to -five hens is adequate for natural reproduction. The 1948-49 deer season is set. up to conform with the relative avail ability of the species, and- although it involves a number of exceptions, the regulation in general is more unified than last year's rules. All counties or parts of counties not listed below are closed to deer shooting. In the eastern part of the state the season will open October 15 a daily bag of 1, season limit of 2 bucks only, in: Beaufort, Bertie, qjm 'x remiBf uSnoiq) puajxa pu Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Cumber land, Currituck, Dare, ' Edgecombe, Gates, Halifax, Harnett, Hertford, Hoke, Hyde, Jones, Lee, Martin, Moore, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow,' Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Richmond, Robeson, Sampson, v Scotland, Tyrrell and Washington. Exception: Atlantic Township and Roanoke Island in Dare county will be closed to deer shoot ing," and Hatteras Township in Dare county win be , opened to shooting from November 1 through November 30 only. . ' Bear October 15 to January 1, in clusive, daily bag 2, possession limit 2, and season limit 2. It will be un lawful to kill bears with cubs at side. Fox Foxes may be taken with guns during any time at wmcn me season is open in that county for taking other game birds and animals, except in counties having local fox laws. In these counties local laws regulate the season. Opossum and Raccoon may be taken with dogs and guns from Oc tober 15 through February 15, with no bag or possession limit except in Alleghaney, Ashe and Watauga counties. Licenses for the 1948-49 season are now on sale. KJDtcilstsLcsc. RigiitTbOriidfers Cotton Council Plans An All-Out Campaign To Develop Markets Pointing out that an extremely im portant period lies immediately ahead for the cotton industry, B. C. Line berger, chairman of the North Carolina-Virginia unit of the National Cotton Council and prominent cotton merchant of Lincolnton, has announc ed the opening of a campaign to en list the active participation of every cotton man in the two states in the Council's promotion and research program. A fight for fiber markets in the United States and abroad is expected by Mr. Lineberger to reach "white hot intensity" during the next 18 months. He asserted that increased promo tion and research will be necessary if cotton is to win the battle for such key markets as bags and tire cord and added also that the program to re develop foreign markets for American cotton will be in its most crucial phase during the remainder of 1948 and 1949. "The outstanding work the National Council already has done in building new markets for cotton and cotton seed and in protecting markets threat ened by competition has thoroughly proved the value of the organization to the industry," the cotton leader continued. "Never before has there been such unity of purpose and action among cotton farmers, ginners, warehouse men, merchants, spinners and cotton seed crushers. But we can win cot ton's fight only when every member of the industry contributes his pro portionate shase to the Cotton Coun cil's support." The cotton man said that North Carolina and Virginia have an in creasingly great stake in the program to increase cotton consumption. Last year the farm value of cotton and cottonseed in North Carolina reached a total of $87,220,000, an increase of more than $3,000,000 over 1946. Cotton farmers are asked to con tribute ten cents on each bale to the Cotton Council at the time cotton is ginned. Other interests are asked to pay proportionate mounts as their share in the cotton program. Mr. Lineberger announced that the intensified Council finance campaign will get under way at once and extend throughout the movement of the 1948 crop. During July, 562 motorists in North Carolina were shorn-of their driving licenses because of drunken driving, bringing to 6,065 total drunken driv ing convictions lor l4, the Motor Vehicle Department lias -announced, The July drunken 4 driving convic tions were 160 less than for the same month last year, when 1722 "persons were convicted. . . A total of 894 drivers lost their driving privileges during ' July be cause of traffic law offenses and prac tices detrimental to highway safety. Revocations totaled 736, ' and suspen sions 158. .' ' ' These included 64 persons "caught driving drunk outside the State; 53 drivinsf drunk and -miscellaneous; 24 driving after license had been revok ed; 29 speeding over 75 miles per hour; 21 for transporting liquor, and 12 for, two offenses of speeding over 55 miles per hour. Twenty-one persons lost their li censes for two ottenses oi driving drunk. A second drunken driving conviction means mandatory revoca tion of license for a period of three years. Eight persons lost tneir li censes for failure to maintain proof of financial responsibility, and 11 others lost their driving privileges for being habitual violators of the traffic laws. Durinjr July. 368 persons were con victed of reckless driving, bringing to 2,588 the total reckless driving con victions for 1948. Reckless driving, however, requires no revocation or suspension on first offense. In addition to the major violations which are cause for revocation and suspension there were 8,540 other vio lators who were convicted, but not de prived of their driving licenses. Speeding took the greatest toll, with 3,414 convictions, bringing total speeding convictions for the year to 18,365. Other offenses: Failing to have driver's license, 1,883; faulty equip ment; 724; improper lights, 415; run ning through red light, 385; driving on wrong side of road, 91, and failure to stop at intersection, 77. Of the total violators for July, 7,501 were North Carolinians, ana i.ims were out-of-state drivers. As .happiness is an essential part of the general good, the greatest hap piness principle indirectly serves as a nearly safe standard of right and wrong.

O. Schaub, director of the North Carolina Extension Ser- Checkup On Ladders Is Urged By Overman "You may be heading for a fall un less you check your climbing equip ment and practices used around the farmstead and in the farm home. That's what County Agent I. C. Yagel says in stressing the im portance of avowing falls by keeping ladders and step stools in good repair and climbing them properly. "Inspect ladders frequently for rusted or loose bolts and nails, crack ed, rotted or loose rungs or supports. he said. "Make repairs immediately or get a new ladder. That's cheaper than having an. accident." Mr. Yagel points to the sugges tions for the safe use of ladders given by the National Safety Council. They are: Firmly set the base of the lad der one-fourth of the ladder's height from the wall. Face the ladder when climbing and use both hands. Avoid leaning too far out on the ladder climb down and move the ladder in stead. Clean mud or grease from your hands and shoes before climb ing. Use a rope hoist to raise sharp tools, heavy objects, or bulky ma terials. Open stepladders fully and place all four legs on solid ground before climbing. Falls are the principal cause of in jury in the farm home, the agent points out. He warns against stand ing on chairs, stools, boxes, tables or makeshift devices not intended for that purpose. Severe injury and death have often resulted from falls at low levels. A safe step stool for the farm home is the simple solution to this problem. The National Safety Council suk geststhat step stools be checked for the following safety factors. Is the top sufficiently broad for comfortable standing? Is each step light enough to stand the bounce? Are steps top ped with a non-skid surface ? Is stool securely built of sound ma terials? Does the base lie so that your weight may be shifted on the top without tipping the stool? Is it in good repair? I Pb Is ItoVay For Fcoll):i League In female Area Interest is developing in the organ ization of an amateur football league in the Eastern part of North Carolina, with a meeting to discuss the idea scheduled to be held in Elizabeth City Tuesday night, 'August 17. ; The meeting ' will- be held in the Pasquotank County Court House, be ginning at 8 'o'clock. .- Roy W., Perry of Elizabeth City has announced the meeting, ana is very anxious to have Hertford and other towns to this section represented. He, therefore, urges anyone who is inter ested in football to attend the "meet ing in order to sound out the possi bility of organizirj a league. , , - vice. . Decision to postpone the event un til the summer of 1949 was made in Rttleigh recently after a conference of officers of the State Farmers Con vention and the North .Carolina Fed eration of Home Demonstration Clubs with Dr. A. C. Bulla, Wake County health officer, and other College and farm leaders. Director Schaub expressed regret that the College could not have the farmers and their wives, as 1 guests hthis summer. "We feel, however, that the decision to postpone Farm and Home Week is advisable under the circumstances," he said. "We could not ask the people of the State to take any health risk by attending so large a gathering. It was also decided to cancel plans 'Sua ' See This Beautiful HAVILAND CHINA CHIPPENDALE PATTERN : .. at WRIGHT'S JEWELRY STORE Guaranteed Watch Repair v Church and Market Streets HERTFORD, N.
