Lisk Explains
The Game Laws
Says Fox Hunters Must Pur
chase Licences; Apperciates
Co-operation
W. ('. Disk, of Richfield, dis
trict game protector, was in
Wiii.ies Friday and Saturday con
ferring with W. W. Barber, coun
ty game protector, relative to
the game situation and enforce
ment of game and fish laws.
Mr. Lisk stated that many
were under the impression that
fox hunters do not have to have
hunting licenses but explained
that they were sadly mistaken
and that it is unlawful to run
foxes. If this law is violated, he
said. Mr. Barber will prosecute
the offenders in court. He stated
further that he had been inform
ed that a local law forbids the
shooting of foxes and that his de
partment will cooperate in its
observane'e and enforcement.
The season Is now open, he
said, for shooting dove, squirrels
and oppossum hunting and that
season for taking other game
will open Thanksgiving.
He went on to say that he and
the county game protector appre
ciates the cooperation of the
general public In ^enforcement of
game laws. Anyone desiring fur-
Slowly-mountlng returns in the
national referendum on a 1936
corn-hog program forecast early
last night an enthusiastic man
date from farmers for continu
ance of the AAA crop adjust
ment plan.
On the basis of incoi-iplete re
ports from 31 states, those vot
ing “yes’’ outnumbered those op
posed in Saturday’s balloting by
a margin of more than seven to
one. In not a single state was the
preliminary tally close.
At 5 p. m. the vote stood;
For a new control program,
271,176; against 40,062.
Returning to the capital after
a trip on the government yacht
Sequoia with President Roose
velt. Secretary Wallace issued a
statement commending the na
tion’s farmers for their favorable
vote.
“The referendum means,’’ Wal
lace said, “that corn-hog farm
ers of the country will be doing
their b' st to Increase hog pro
duction next year in such a way
as will not bring about excessive
over-production in subsequent
years.
“They realize their triple duty;
To the consumer; to the cause
of soil conservation, and to the
maintenance of a fair income for
themselvf 8.’’
“It is only natural that we
should be pleased with the^p-
parent approval of adjustment
given by corn and hog farmers,’’
said Cheater C. Davis. AAA ad
ministrator, as he watched the
returns come In at Washington.
He added:
“If the final results bear out
present indicationn, another vol
untary contract will be offered
foi bpth corn and hogs.”
In a formal statement, Davis
emphasized oarllor assurances
that the AAA would seek a 25
to 30 per cent inprease to hog
production next year.-eaylng t’oe

Talk
Saiiabury, Oct. 26.—Address
ing the Wtestern North Carolina,
conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church, south, at its 46th
annual session in First church
here today. Bishop Paul B. Kem,
bead of the church in North and
South Carolina, spoke approving
ly of the tendency, already ob
served in some churches in this
state, to refrain from re-electing
members of official c b u r c h
boards who are engaged In the
sale of intoxicants.
"I put myself squarely on the
side of a sober nation,” said
Bishop Kern. “We are squarely
against the liquor traffic In
every form in which it may pre
sent itself to the people.”
’The remarks elicited sustained
applause. They were made after
the conference had heard a short
plea by 6r. J. G. McKaughan, of
Winston-Salem, field director of
the United Dry Forces 'of North
Carolina, for co-operation from
the churches in the conference.
