Page 2-B Cameron Becomes Ducks Unlimited Member Bruce B. Cameron of Wilmington has become a member of Ducks Unlimited Benefactors Roll of Honor. Benefactors are those who give SIOO,OOO to D.U. and there are only 25 of them in the United States. Several months ago Cameron issued a challenge to Stuart R. Paine, North Carolina Chairman of D.U., to the effect that if $200,000 could be raised via D.U. major sponsor con tributions, he would then contribute SIOO,OOO. (Major sponsors are Sponsors in Perpetuity who contribute $25,000; Life Sponsors are those who contribute $10,000.) It was envisioned that the $300,000 goal would fund a major wildlife habitat project in Canada. Such a project was found 70 miles jjE&jA Vl\ /rJW . , _j_ J . A.J DUCKS UNLIMITED CHECK Bruce B.

The value of such a project is reflected in the fact that 70 to 80 per cent of all waterfowl in the United States, Mexico, and Central America are hatched and reared in Canada. The project is prime breeding ground for Mallard, Black, Blue-wing Teal, and Wood Ducks. Additionally, these acres support a vast number of mammals and birds, in cluding white-tailed deer, mink, otter, osprey, herons and many varieties, egrets, and the Henslow Sparrow (which is rarely found in any other area). In recent years, there has been serious danger that this area would be destroyed as a wildlife breeding ground and refuge. As a result of the Cameron challenge and the finding oft such a significant project, the $200,000 was contributed by 15 North Carolinians, six of whom became Sponsors in Perpetuity and eight who became Life Sponsors. Among those who became Sponsors in Perpetuity are Eldridge C. Hanes of Winston-Salem; Gordon Hanes of Winston-Salem; Edward A. Morris of Greensboro; Herman A. Moore, of Matthews; T. E. Hemby, Jr., of Matthews; Rush S. Dickson Family Foundation Inc., of Charlotte. Some of the Life Sponsors are William C. Cannon, Jr., of Concord; Jack C. D. Bailey of Rocky Mount; Dowd Foundation of Charlotte; John W. Harris of THE CHOWAN HERALD Charlotte; O. B. Andrews of Greensboro; Raiford G. Trask, Sr., of Wilmington; Furman O. Clark, Jr., of Southern Pines; and Charles E. Hulsey of Matthews. D. U. State Chairman Stuart Paine explains . “North Carolina can take great pride in the fact that this effort represents the largest sum of money ever raised through this technique by any state D.U. organization in the nation. Furthermore, the project is one of the most significant and extensive ever un dertaken _by Ducks Unlimited. When it is dedicated, it will be designated and so marked by a bronze monument as a North Carolina project. The names of the contributors will be engraved on the monument.” At the conclusion of this fund-raising effort, Cameron stated, “It is my sincere wish that other state D. U. organizations will use this North Carolina technique, since it is by far the best method of raising important funds needed to underwrite other major projects. Unless these vital waterfowl projects in Canada are greatly in creased, the conservation, protection, and management of much of our wildlife will be in jeopardy.” In response, Jack Bailey, D.U.’s Senior Vice President for the Atlantic Flyway (which includes all states on the Atlantic seaboard), said, “I will Certainly promote the im plementation of Cameron’s suggestion in all of the Atlantic Flyway states. I congratulate him on developing such a magnificent method for major fund-raising for Ducks Unlimited. He has set a splendid example here in North Carolina that we hope other states will emulate.” Ducks Unlimited is a private nonprofit in ternational organization whose purpose is to raise money for developing, restoring and maintaining waterfowl habitat on the North American continent. It is the largest conservation organization of its kind in the world.

Hunt’s move to let the Legislature settle the politically dangerous question of how to rescue the dwindling State highway tax fund .may have backfired. Hunt, in what was seen as a brilliant political move only a couple of weeks ago, suggested it was up to the legislators to either hike gasoline tax revenues or to cut $342-million from the highway fund. A cut of $342- million would mean laying off up to 3,000 transportation workers. Instead, the legislators are looking aggressively toward the state’s general tax fund -a separate pot of gold from which the governor must also finance his social, economic, and educational programs. Historically, the state’s highways have been financed by “user” taxes - taxes on gasoline and other transportation related taxes and licensing fees which were placed in the highway fund. All other revenues, in cluding sales taxes, income taxes, and property taxes, go into the General Fund. The General Fund finances state expenditures primarily for education and the cost of running the government. In more recent history, larger and larger amounts of General Fund dollars have been spent on health and social programs and economic development. Growing energy and en vironmental expenses are coming in the very near future. Indeed the governor, as he placed the gasoline tax burden in the lap of the General Assembly, was speaking of the need for North Carolinians to “commit ourselves to a strategy that will develop the full potential of our people and unlock the full potential or our economy.” Gov. Hunt spoke of com mitments to “human development” and GRef/c Tyfer FREE Gift with Sitting 4 Presenting our new ■■ ■ REFLEXIONS HBB „.

No one really believes the governor would be pleased to see that competition for General Fund monies heightened by state and industrial lobbying for high way expenditures. Two months ago, Hunt spokesman Brent Hackney was asked about proposals to spend general funds for state highways. According to Hackney, the governor had an “open mind” (to such spending; but “knows that if you go into the General Fund, then high ways become prioritized with education and social programs.” “Do you want to add that into the mix?” Hackney asked. Stephanie Bass, another Hunt spokesman, responded last Friday to a question about growing interest in the General Fund- for high ways during this Legislative Session by expressing perhaps even more caution for the legislators. There are “so many other pressures on the General Fund,” Bass said, “that he (Hunt) would prefer not to get into the General Fund (for highways).” Is the governor planning to get back into the fray and offer his own solution to avoid a raid on the General Fund? “Any proposals he would have would come later in the spring,” Bass said. The governor may have to speed up his timetable if he wants to keep the General Fund safe. The director of the Legislature’s Fiscal Research Division, Frank Justice, told the Joint Finance Committee last week that ultimately “funds from the General Fund” would be needed to solve the state’s highway problems.
