Dear Sir:
Truly Mr. Kendall has made
out an able cause in behalf of the
beekeepers relative to the bear
situation and for my part I shall
not try to tell him what to do
about it. However, in your edi
torial column last week you pub
lished "What Shall We Do With
Mr. Bear?" That, Sir, is not for
you nor any of us to decide rela
tive to extinction of his species.
To prove my point I give you
the following' from Outdoor Life
Magazine, September, 1948, from
the article entitled, "A teacher of
Religious Discusses Conversation."
"The earth is the Lord's, how
ever. Every beast of the forest
is mine, and the cattle upon a
thousand hills. I know all the
fowls of the mountains: and the
wild beast of the field are mine.
These are words ascribed to God
in the 50th Psalm.
"Hiis means that Ownership
of fish and game is merely a
holding in trust. The fisherman
or hunter must never think of
natural resources as something he
may dispose of at will. For his
use of them Is a sacred r&Jpon
sibility."
Now let's hit the subject from
another angle. Tills concerns wol

ves, and BEARS from an article
complied by Fred R. ?epp called
"The Battle With The Wolves."
"Typical of the plaintive notes
left in the diaries, letters, and
reports of those'times are records
of settlers in North Carolina in
the middle. eighteenth century. In
1752 appeared the gloomy admis
sion that it was useless to try
to raise cattle until |the wolves
and bears were wipped out."
Wolves are gone from North
Carolina, BEARS are still here
and cattle raising is considered
profitable, why not apiaries?
Surely there are methods of
control for most living things
other than extermination.
Very Sincerely,

Five out-of-town judges pond
ered the beauty qualifications of
16 finalists for 45 minutes before
arriving at a decision. A mass
of people which filled the area
around the stage on the Railroad
Plaza looked on.
Miss Pauline Nye of Wacca
maw was voted the No. 2 position
and Miss Mildred Gore of Bug
Hill copped third-place honors.
Dave S. Neilson, executive sec
retary of the Whiteville Merchants
Association, who served as mas
ter of ceremonies, presented a
variety of gifts from the mer-!
chants of Wihteville to the three j
winners.
The queen contest, staged thiS|
year under the direction of Mar-1
tin Schulken, was climaxed by the]
crowning of the new qeen by
MlsS Nancy Green of Hallsboro,

The judges who selected the
queen were Vic Goodman of Wil
mington, Slim Mims of Florence,

The final event on the Railroad
Plaza stage was preceded by the
; wrestling matches promoted by
Jim Crockett of Charlotte. A re
cord throng around the stage wit

' ists. Many of them were their
' first wrestling bouts.

i braska, too the first one-fall
! mat'ch from Pete Managoff of
! Newland, N. C. in 23 minutes,
'while Joe Corbett of San Francis
,co, Calif, took two of the three
| balls from Earl Wampler of Des
: Moines, Iowa. Wampler grabbed
'the second fall, but lost the third
and deciding fall In a matter of
a few minutes.
The wrestling matches were
generally ranked near the top
among the Farmers Day features.
The day's program was as full
of entertainment as the proverbial
dog with fleas. Contests, magic
show, rifle shooting exhibition and
greasy pole climbing all combin
ed to make the day outstanding.
