Pisgah National Forest Deer Hunt Very Probably Be Held Next Fall Every Indication from a recent sur vey points to the annual doer hunt in Pisgah National Forest game preserve this fall in order that tho over-popu lated deer territory may be thinned out. A survey just completed by Junior Forester T. S. Seely, and shows that there are approximately 8,400 deer In the 100,000 acres, which the forestry and game service decide is over twice the number that should bo on the nor mal amount of feed to be found. Forester Seely used latest approved methods in making the deer census, using 100 CCC men for the drives, with practically no chance of deer be ing missed or over-counted in the sev eral areas gone over. Hanger W. P. Duncan, supervisor of the census, collaborating in the report that was made to the national forest heads, stresses the fact that a number of deer have died during the past few months of starvation, and that disease is a grave possibility unless the situa tion is coped with. The deer is a natural homogenous animal, scientific checkup reveals, and for this reason a general scattering of deer to other than protected areas In which it was raiBed Is not common. Idea has prevailed among many sports men of this county that If the forest area was overstocked and hunters were not allowed In the area, that the deer would overflow' in great numbers to the surrounding sections, thus populating nearby hunting preserves and farms. However, the report as made by Rang ers Seely and Duncan is to the oppo site. The census made by 150 CCC men in a specially arranged and scientific plan, showed that there is one deer to every 11.9 acres on the preserve, whereas each deer should have be tween 25 and 30 acres. This shows there are twice ns many deer on the refuge as there should be for winter forage. The 100.000-acre refuge was divided into 23 four-mile squares for the census. On each of these squares, a watershed wras selected. This drive unit consisted of approximately 160 acres on each area. Between 100 and 160 CCC men surrounded each area in turn, the men being within sight of each other. Beaters passed through each area and each man on the edge of the area assigned counted the deer— as well as other animals—that passed to his right. In addition to working this block method of counting, the lateral line system was also used. This has been practiced hefore, but it is not near as (Continued on Back Page) Severe Storm Sweeps Over Western Carolina; Very Little Damage Here Wind and snow that threatened to turn Into a blizzard struck Transyl vania county Tuesday morning and lasted throughout the day with more or less severity.

Politicians Do Lot Of Talking, But So Far Little Action "What (lc you think about So-and-So as a candidate for (register, sheriff, tax collector, commissioner, or what not) in the primary? is one question that is heard more right now than any other. Seems from the listening-in at the corner drug stores, cafes, around the court house, and even at chuich once in a while, that Interest right now ts centered on the Democratic primary which is to be held on June sixth- -ex actly 75 days hence. And then, too, there Is the question of "who do you think will run the best this fall?" also making Its appearance every so often, when two or more of the pollttcal-mlnded (and they are multi tudinous) get together. With the dou ble trouble of winning In the Democra tic primary and then having to fight for the place lri the fall, some of the supposed strong vote getters seem just a little askance at making the race. So far (Monday night) only one can didatv has publicly announced for nom ination this year—Pat Kimzey, who seems to have the field of Democratic nominee all to himself. There was quite a bit of talk a few weeks past of two Democrats and one Independent, plus the Republican nominee later on, for the office, but It seems now that Pat may be handed the nomination by his party without a race. However, there is still time for opposition, and while it looks now as if the genial Bre vard attorney will have no trouble un til after the Republican convention In May—"you can’t ever tell.” Representative W. M. Henry has def initely said that he will not be a can didate for the place this year, and Sen ator Ralph Ramsey, says that he can not spare the time to make the repre sentative race. Clerk of Court Otto Alexander's of fice will not be open this year, leaving for the scuffle, sheriff, tax collector, register of deeds, three commissioners. Checking back in the files of The Transylvania Times of 1934, it was found that ten men had already entered the great field of politics at this stage of the game—five for register of deeds, three for state senator, one for clerk of court, and one for state representa tive. Will Hold Memorial Service For Teacher Plans are being made for holding fitting memorial services for the late J. E. Ockerman, wbo taught school at Rosman for a number of years. Professor W. M.
