Unlawful To Kill
Any Song Birds
'his Federal Regulation Is
Recalled For Benefit Of
Boys Who Find Vacation
Time Heavy On Their
Hands
Shooting robins, bluebirds, cattirds,
woodpeckers, and other
ong and insectivorous birds with
IB guns, air rifles, or other wea10ns
is a Federal offense bringig
{f maximum sentence of $500
n fines, 6 months in jail, or
mth, according to officials of the
fish and Wildlife Service, United
States Department of the Interor.
With summer vacations under
vay, youngsters are apt to take
iut the old BB gun or air rifle
o do a little pot shooting at
ong birds in the neighbor's garlen
or in the nearby woods,
ifficials said, and parents are
irged to Warn their children not
o shoot the feathered creatures.
"Aside from the fact that song
lirds make a garden or farm
nore attractive," one official exilained,
"the birds are economically
important."
Many of the birds are beneficial
lecause they eat insects that
itherwise would be injurious to
ilants and crops.
"Birds may be given credit for
leing one of the greatest controling
factors in limiting the develipment
of insect pests and in
preventing many disastrous outireaks,"
a food-habits expert delared.
Even the much-maligned staring
is economically important. A
tudy of the food-habits of the
Suropean starling shows that
ome 42 percent of its diet conists
of insects, nearly half of
vhich are beetles.
Farmers' Bulletins describing
he value of song and insectivrous
birds have been written by

Catch Flounders ;
With Pitchforks <
During Low Tide
i
Robert and Ed Marlowe got '
33 large flounders by gigging
Monday afternoon during the 1
two hours of low tide. This is 1
a sport or work that few uplanders
have ever been initiat- 1
ed into.
You take a pitchfork, with
the tines straightened out.
Wading in water about two
feet deep, you keep up a constant
jabbing. When the tines
of the fork pierce a flounder 1
it pins him, (or is it a her,)
to the bottom but he (or she)
makes enough racket to inform
the fisherman he has hit something.
A hand is thrust in the
water and under the fish,
which is thrown into the rowboat
which the gigger keeps
dragging alongside of him. I

Judge Dannehl's party was

Gravity Of Situation Leads
Governor Broughton To
Call Meeting Of State
Leaders; "Forest Protection
Week" Proclaimed
Recognizing this year's serious
'orest fire situation, Governor
Broughton on May 31st proclaim;d
the week of June 2-8 as "For;st
Protection Week", to the end
that citizens may be acquainted
is fully as possible with the need
for cooperative thought and action.
Forest fires in the 11,700,000
icres of State-protected forest
area in North Carolina have
L.. -1 Tnnuopir 11 and

May 31 of this year about 470,300
acres and caused damage of
about $800,000. No estimates are
yet available on the figures for
the forty-two counties that are
without organized State protection.
North. Carolina has a vital interest
at stake in this matter of
protection of its forest land. At
the present time its State approportion
for forest fire control
is just about the smallest
in the South, although only five
States in the country have a larger
forest area needing State fire
protection. The State's forest
lands and forest industries represent
a conservative annual
value of some $200,000,000. The
greatest risk to this investment
is the risk of forest fires, which
in 1940 did an estimated total
iamage within the State of about
$725,000. This waste can be reduced
ONLY by strengthening
and extending the State's forest
fire organization.
It is generally recognized
throughout the South that the
prevention and control of fire
represent the greatest single factor
in a forestry program. Its

SIMILAR MEETING
HELD LAST WEEK
Eligible Farmers Are To
Have Until Last Of Week
To Make Application
For Cotton Stamps
The matter of properly administering
the Cotton Stamp Program
in Brunswick county will
be thoroughly discussed at a
mass meeting at the office of
County Agent J. E. Dodson Tuesday
night, June 17, at 8:30
o'clock.
This meeting will be of particular
interest to merchants who
plan to cooperate in selling merchandise
made entirely from domestic
cotton.
The purpose of the Government's
Supplementary Cotton
Stamp Program is to increase the
] domestic consumption of cotton
goods by cotton farmers and
their families and to move this
cotton goods through normal
trade channels thereby helping
business in general. The success
of the program will depend largely
on the cooperation of persons
and firms engaged in the retail
distribution of cotton goods, and
the Government is counting on
aggressive merchandising and effective
cooperation of distributors
to achieve a greater movement
of cotton goods, not only to farmers'
families receiving stamps,
but to other consumers as well.
As for the farmers who will
have these stamps with which to
make these purchases, this privilege
will be lost to otherwise
eligible growers unless they make
application at the office of the
county agent this week. June 14
is the deadline for receiving applications.
