and ducks, taking limits of
the latter on both hunting
days.
Every outdoor story has to
have an “angle,” the “peg"
from which it is hong. At
Ocracoke U was the unique
blinds set at water level on
a shallow shoal in Pamlico
Sound. Here at Currituck it
was to be something differ
ent.
In days of reduced water
fowl limits, hunters are pro
hibited from taking large
bags of any species. What
is the use, some sportsmen
have said, of rigging out with
blinds and decoys, maintain
ing a boat and a retriever
when there is a basic limit
of only three ducks and, in
North Carolina, one goose.
Bag limits are further lim
ited on certain species. You
are permitted one canvasback
or redhead, for example, and
only two black ducks.
Where, then, is the fun of
waterfowl hunting?
These journalists’ answer is
that the exciting aspect of
modern duck hunting is in
picking the species before
they are shot. This gambit
places a premium on the abil
ity to identity ducks on the
wing. It can get to be an'
exciting game that adds new
interest to waterfowl hunt

THE CMOWAN HERALD, EPOTPOW, BOOTH CMOMU, THURSDAY. PigflTW M, MM
! The writer • photographer
I team was betting that a
story on this theme would be
,of interest to waterfowl
. hunters and, not incidentally,
, to editors of outdoor maga
| zincs.
t Currituck Sound is an ideal
> location for such a story be
cause of the great variety of
waterfowl available to the
gunner. Black ducks and
mallards, redheads and can
vas backs, Canada geese, scaup
and ringnecks, buffieheads
and ruddy ducks and great
numbers of widgeon and pin
tails frequent the sound's
marshes and shallow open
water.
Early in me morning, we
passed up opportunities to
shoot buffieheads and rud
dies, waiting for more desir
able species. A moderate
w-ind blew and our decoys
bobbed and rolled enticingly,
but pidgeon passing high
overhead would not stool.
Far upwind, a tight knot
of ducks headed directly for
our blind. They were low
and approaching so fast we
hardly had time to pick up
our guns before they were
upon us. It was a matter of
identifying as we swung.
I shouted “cans” and fired
practically at the same time.
Robinson had shot a micro
second earlier. One drake
fell almost 100 yards down
wind from the blind. There
was no way to tell who hit
the duck.
‘Those canvasbacks were
really moving,” Robinson
said.
“I read somewhere that
cans have been clocked at
70 miles per hour,” 1 came
back. “Downwind that way,
these must have been making
at least that.’’
Throughout the morning
we had scattered shooting for
scaup and teal, but none of
the preferred ducks blacks,
pintails or widgeon noticed
our stool. We suspected that
many flights were “travel
ing" birds bound for points
south.
However, we had sufficient
variety in the bag and
enough action pictures for
the story, thanks to Carroll
and his motorized camera.
Back at the lodge in Wa
terlily, Mrs. Whitson topped
off a satisfying day with a
fine roast goose dinner.
A true diplomat is a man
v/bo can tell you to go to
hell so tactfully that you’ll
actually look forward to mak
ing the trip.
Make Going To Church A Habit
HOW JESUS MET TEMPTATION
International Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 11
Memory Selection: “Tor in that He, Himself,
has suffered being tempted, He Is able to suc
cour them that are tempted.”—Hebrews 2:11
Lesson Text: Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 2:14-18;
4:14-16.
Today, as in our lesson we study the tempta
tion of Christ, and His strength in resisting, we
learn to correlate this event with the circum
stances which, all too often, surround us, there
by absorbing a pattern upon which we can build
our behavior in like circumstances.
Jesus’ temptation came upon Him in the wild
erness, alone, apart from His friends and any
human companionship which might strengthen
His spirit.
How severely was He tempted by Satan]
Hungry, cold (for He had fasted forty days and
forty nights) surely no man was ever in a more
receptive mood to the whisperings of ease and
ievii Yet, to Satan’s urging that He prove His
divinity by turning stone into bread, Jesus re
plied: “It is written, Man shall not live by
bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4),
Upon being urged to cast Himself off a pinnacle
of the Temple and be saved by God from in
jury, He answered: “It is written again, Thou
shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” (Matthew
4:7). And, tempted still further, by an offer of
glory and power if He would but fall down and
worship the Devil, Christ was still adamant in
His adherence to the Father, and all that He
stood for. Then, and only then, did Satan ad
mit defeat.
Jesus was sustained by His knowledge of His
goal in life; He was the Son of God; He was
the Servant of God. His mission in life was the
redemption and forgiveness of mankind, and
their sins. To this He held fast, despite all
temptations hurled at Him.
As a Being that was wholly identified with
mankind, Christ enjoyed freedom of choice. He
could make His decision—take what Satan of
fered, or hold true to God, the Father, and con
tinue to be cold and hungry, and lonely. Not
alone—for surely God was with Him in the
wilderness of Judea.
Most assuredly Jesus was subjected to super
human temptation, if only by virtue of His
great power as the Son of God.
Christ came upon earth to call men to a life
dedicated to giving— not getting. But He would
not compromise. His was to be the hard way.
There was to be no compromise with that which
was evil and unworthy of spirit The ends do
not justify the means—they do, however, often
determine the means. There is no road leading
directly to righteousness; there is only the road
of righteousness.
Jesus had stored up great spiritual reserves
of strength, and these sustained Him in His
hours Os need —in the wilderness, in Gethe
semane, on Calvary. His identification with God
