DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. STOKES GAME PRESERVE AND FISHING LAKE C'apt. Stedman Says the Two Make Certain the Develop ment of This Section—May Name Lake After Its Pro moters. The fishing lake which is now being constructed just north of Danbury may be | named "Taylor-Stedman Lake" in honor of its promoters— Paul T. Taylor and R. T. Sted man, the former having con tributed the site for the lake and the latter having given its establishment his time and ef fort ever since it was first pro pose to build a lake here. Capt. Stedman has also been instrumental in helping to secure the Stokes county game preserve and his efforts are greatly appreciated by our peo ple. Capt. Stedman is head of the l/.aak Walton League in this State, and this association is given deserved credit for the creation of the excellent game hw passed by the last legisla te, re, under which the State game preserves are being es tablished. . Capt. Stedman believes that "the game preserve and the lake being established her.* mean a great deal to this sec tion, and in a recent issue m the Winston-Salem Journal h.> writes of them as follows: The final adoption of the Stokes county site for the North Carolina Game Refuge, has made certain the develop ment of that section of Stokes county which includes the Sauratown Mountains.

It had previously been okayed by the committee on game of the de partment therefore its accept ance by the State was a mat- of foregone conclusion. However this leaves no single doubt as to the future of thai section, and makes more im portant than ever before the efforts of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League to establish a first class fishiny lake in the section. Work of clearing off the be.i of the proposed lake started before the final acceptance of the section as the game re fuge, for it was certain that this would be done and then the site for the lake was ideai even though the game refug; had not been secured. How ever, this refuge makes the the lake even more desirabb than ever before. The interest of the State Department shows that the tVime is not far distant when that .section of the country, carrying all the natural beau ty of any mountain section in the country and all the natur al advantages of such a sec tion, will be a real resort sec tion of North Carolina. Its proximity to Winston-Salem will make it even more desir able than any other section could possible,v be from the standpoint of the city. With Winston-Salem people showing increasing interest in the Sauratown Mountain sec tion the project of the fishing lake,is sure to go through and when it is finished it will offer one of the most interesting (Continued on page 8.)
