moon PltGed Ob Innlitive firoip Of Wildlife dob State Meeting Held In Win ston-Salem Monday; Campaign is Mapped R. Irey Moore, preeldent of the Wilkes Wildlife clxDb, was placed on the important Leci»* lative committee of the state Club in meeting Monday In CireenSboro. 36 Wilkes 4-H Meoibers Enjoy* Canpiis Week Greensboro.ir-Tho strategy of the North Carolina Wildlife Fed- •ration's battle for enactment of legislation in the 1947 General Assembly creating a separate De partment of Game and Fish was formnlated at a meeting of fed eration officers and directors here yesterday. Acting upon specific recom mendations from the legislative oommlttee, the federation offici als approved creation of throe additional commltitees and the I employment of a fulltime pub- j lldty director. The three new V committees are finance, imbllclty ^ and steering. To Raise Ponds The legislative committee’s recommendations also included a proposal that the finance com mittee devise ways and means of raising funds "to defray the large additional expenses anticipated in connection with sponsorship > of the federation's separation ' bill. Discussion at the all-day ses sion emphasized that only through vigorous and consistent action between now and Jan uary, when the General Assemb ly convenes, can the feneration hope to sponsor Its bill success fully. Federation spokesmen made it clear that they are fully aware of the astute political influence which constitutes the major opposition to the separa tion legislation. President P. K. Gravely, Rocky Mount, who presided, was empowered bo name memsbers of three new committees. Tom White, Kinston attorney, chairman of the legislative com mittee, reports that the separa tion measure is being redrafted after careful study and conside ration. He explained the legisla tion is being drafted so that it will conform to the existing ma chinery of the State Govern-, ment. The new Deportment of Game and Fish proposed by the depaxv ment would be separate and apart from the State Depart ment of Conservation and De velopment and be operated and financed entirely from hunting and fishing license revenue and contributions from the Federal Government for this purpose. It was emphasized that the pro posed legialation does not call for the expenditure of any tax payers’ money. Nine-Member Commission It Is further provided by the - proposed legislation that a nlne- * ^member commission, appointed by the Governor from hunters, fishermen, farmers or biologists, he named by districts and on a etaggered-term basis. Appoint ment of the commissioners would he such that not more than four would be named by a single Oov- • emor, thus assuring continuity of the federation’s wildlife ccn- aervatlon program which it is contended Is not possible under the present setup. At present the State has a Di vision of Game and Inland Blsh- fflles wWch Is part of the De partment of Conservation and Development, and a partlcnlar Governor appoints at least 10 of the 15 members of the Board of Conservation and Development. Ross O. Stevens, Raleigh, ex ecutive secretary, reported that ■ 101 wildlife clnhs have been or ganized In 96 oountlee, and he commented that ”we’ve made real progress but there is a lot more to be done.” E. J. Stoker, Greensboro, sec retary-treasurer, reported on the finances of the federation which was organized In March, 1945. o — I AiieliUftfRtlGA Photo.

That will be left entirely up to em ployer and employee. Those want ing work done are asked to call and tell about how many hours It will take and the type of work to be done.
