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.

'" i 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.

Fire Loss Nears Record Figure 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 uurncu ueiwccu januai jr aa unu 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.

Stamp Program ______ 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. -)> Whiteville Mill Is Making Flour Have Since The Opening Of The Mill On Friday Manufactured Over 300 Barrels Of Flour M. O.
