FHE UNE FLOWN! PROGRAM STARTED
H CHOWAN UNDER WARDEN F. V. WHITE
Forest Service Crews at
Work In Valhalla
Section
II Frank V. White, Chowan County
Forest Warden, has announced the
start of the fire line plowing program
in*Chowan County. At the present
time the N. C. Forest Service crews,
)- under the direction of Warden White,
are now at work in the Valhalla sec
tion of the county.
The purpose of this work, points
Warden White, is to break large
wooded areas into small units so that
Forest Service personnel are better
able to combat forest fires. Lines
can be plowed through the heaviest
type of growth and the plow makes a
furrow approximately eight feet in
width. The equipment especially
built for this work consists of a 9-
ton tractor and heavy 4-disc plow.
The plow is constructed with a 14-
inch rolling Coulter blade followed by
a middle-buster with two 28-inch
discs on either side and to the rear
of the middle-buster. This plow is
able to completely go through heavy
, roots and small trees up to approxi
' mately 4 inches in diameter. The re
sulting furrow is clean and all soil
and debris is thrown to either side.
“There are many advantages to
having fire lines plowed through
wooded areas,” says Warden White.
“Lines may be plowed along property
boundaries making an almost never
failing boundary marker. Some
woodland owners use them as rough
trails to get out logs and other forest
products. They also are extremely
popular with hunters as they afford
an excellent means of moving through
an almost impossible thicket so com
mon to this section.”
The N. C. Forest Service charges
land owners $6.00 a mile for the work
and the program has met with great
interest from farmers and land own
•• erg throughout the State. Persons
who are interested in having this
work done on their property should
contact Chowan Forest Warden F. V.
White, Route" 1, Edenton.

Lauds Bonner For
Fight In Congress
Opposed Bill Scuttling
National Wildlife
Refuge
Joseph P. Kennefick, secretary ot
the Lowell Sportsmen’s Club of <
Lowell, Mass., writes The Chowan i
Herald that Representative Herbert j
C. Bonner did yeoman service for the
sportsmen of the whole country in 1
preventing the scuttling of the Park
er River National Wildlife Refuge.
During the closing hours of the last
session of Congress, Mr. Bonner took
the floor to oppose a bill which would
have reduced the size of this refuge
to impotence.
The Parker River Refuge, located
in Essex County, Massachusetts, is
not a local* matter. It affects the
waterfowl population along the entire
Atlantic Flyway, constituting an im
portant link in the chain of refuges
from Canada to South Carolina.

Massachusetts sportsmen have ob
tained benefits from the North Caro
lina refuge, and North Carolinians
are entitled to their share of the
benefits which will flow from the
preservation of the Parker River
Refuge.
“This refuge has become a political
football,” says Mr. Kennefick. “A
small group of short-sighted, selfish
people are obsessed with a desire to
destroy this important project. In
opposing this group, Congressman
Bonner has demonstrated great cour
age and far-sightedness. His efforts
are deeply appreciated by the rank
and file of Massachusetts hunters and
many other citizens of this state who
support the wildlife restoration pro

has also done a service to his own
