ROD & GUN
By GENE WIRE
(N. ,C. Division of Game and Inland Fisheries)
THEY'RE ALL SET —
In preparation for what should
be North Carolina’s -biggest hunt
ing season, from the standpoint of
numbers of sportsmen going out,
the law enforcement section of the
Division of Game and Inland Fish
eries is at full strength, and now
is better staffed than at any pre
vious time.
Addition of seven district fish
and game protectors during the
past few weeks has brought the
force up to the full complement of
96, according to C. D. Kirkpatrick,
chief of law enforcement. These
96 men work under supervivors
for the five divisions into which
the State is divided for enforce
ment work: Tom L. Rollins of
Asheville, Robert F. Logan of
Statesville, J. Harold King of
Smithfield, E. P. Keen of Kenly,
and E. L. Nicholson of Burgaw.
The seven new protectors are
W. B. Cope, Sylva; J. S. Guffey,
Bessemer City; H. A. Robertson,
Statesville; A. D. Pridgen, Ma
con, Rt. 2; Belton Buchanan,
Broadway; James A. Vinson, Hert
ford County; and Hugh G. Rowe,
Washington, N. C.
Another addition to protection
forces is Archie Rivenbark of
Burgaw, who went on the pob
last week as refuge protector for
the Holly Shelter Wildlife Mana
gement Area, Pender County.
IT’S A FREE COUNTRY —
One entrant among the first
week’s winners in the Southeast
ern North Carolina Beach Associa
tion’s $2000 Fall Fishing Rodeo
at Wilmington furnishes proof that
there’s room for eevrybody in the
act.
He’s six-year old Benny Adams
of Chester, Pa., who in open com
petition walked off with a prize
of five silver dollars for the best
catfish catch —an entry measur
ing 18 1/4 inches and weighing
two pounds.
Women aren’t taking a back
seat either. Mrs. R. B. Shepard
cf Wilmington, also in open com
petition, entered the first week’s
best spot — an 11-incher. In a
special women’s event — for the
i.argest fish caught by a woman
contestant in the opening week
Mrs. C. M. Park of Wilmington
took the honors, with a 16-inch,
22-ounce bluefish.
FIRST SAILFISH —
After a dry spell in the early
stages during which anglers seek
ing sailfish could report only that
three were hooked but got away,
a Wilmingtonian came up with
the first entry in that class.
The trick was turned by Thom
as B. Williams, who won a tussle
with a six foot, six-and a half inch
specimen while fishing from Capt.
Billy Decover's Jim Jam.

vi-j x —
Word from Ken Noble is that
competition is hot and heavy in
the rodeo. The promise of good
catches that was held out by re
sults of the first several days has
paid off for entrants from practi
cally all the southeastern Atlantic
states, he says. The opening week
drew more than 250 entrants.
The rojjeo will continue through
the month of September. There are
weekly cash and equipment prizes
and grand prizes will be awarded
at the end of the event.
