Crowds Gather To See Wildlife
Commission Pair Exhibit ? An esti
mated 75,000 people thronged to
see the North Carolina Wildlife Re- '
sources Commission's interesting
and educational exhibit of tfish and
game species at the North Carolina
State Fair, according to Clyde -P.
Patton, Executive Director of the.
North Carolina Wildlife Resources.
Commission.
Children and grown-ups alike
showed much interest in the vari
ous game, such as the large blue-'
gill, or breain, mounted and dis- [
played by R. F. Logan and the State
! Museum. Unusually large, the blue- 1
[gill, or bream, weighed 3 pounds,
2 ounces. j
The exhibit, located in the Indus
try Building, included primarily less
known wildlife, such as the fox.
squirrel, sora, wildcat, and the A
merican woodcock which has recent
ly been added to the game list.
Carrying through the out;of-doors
motif with fall leaves, a proper set
ting for the game was achieved. At
tractive posters were displayed show

sion's motto ."More sport for more
people ? equal opportunity for all."
j 'For his weekly radio broadcast
"The Tarheel WildHfe Jtevtew" Rod

Division of the Commission, made
an on-the-spot description of the ex

Law Enforcement on Military Es
tablishments ? Hunting and fish
ing on military establishments in
North Carolina' will be done in com
pliance with state lish, and game
rules according to Director Patton.
Attention was brought to the Nor
th Carolina Wildlife Federation and
the Wildlife Resources Commission
by a number of sportsmen that hunt
ing on ccrfsln military reservations
was not in accordance with state
laws and the regulations set up by
the Wildlife Resouces Commission.
In view of this, the North Carolina
Wildlife Federation submitted a res
olution formally protesting this dis
regard of state regulations, both in
letter and in spirit, to Secretary of
i Defense Louis Johnson, who in turn
| forwarded it to the respective Secre
taries of the Army, Navy, and Air
I Force along with a communication
directing all military installations
to comply with State laws.
Pat ton then followed through wtth
an Inquiry to certain commanders
of military installations in North
Carolina as to what action hpd been
taken regarding Defense Secretary's
directive especially with reference
| to hunting on Sundays and dlsposi
' tion of wild or stray dogs on the res
ervation. General Hodge, C. G., at
Fort Bragg, submitted to Patton
the official Dally Information Bul
, letin dated October 17, 1949, which
states:. -? ;
! "Hunting: Pursuant to the desire
expressed by the Secretary of Army
' that Army Installations comply with
the State and Federal laws govern
ing hi nting and fishing in the state
I iu which they are located, hunting
is forbidden on Sundays. Permissa
ble hunting days will be announced
in (he Daily Bulletin, and organiza
' tion Commanders are authorized to
grant hunting passes on those days
to the individuals who have received
area assignment cards for military
personnel and their dependents will
,t>e distributed through parent or
ganizations. Civilians will obtain
their assignment cards from the Post
Provost Marshall's Office."
The military effort towards coop,
eration in this matter serves the best
j interest of the sportsmen and peo
ple of North Carolina.
