Wide Changes in Game Laws Made by Assembly n i Each County To Have Game Commission; State Divid ed Into Three Zones CONSOLIDATE OFFICES OF STATE WARDENS Raleigh, May 34.? The Legisla ture found game, fish and conserva tion laws a favorite subject and en acted more than two-score new laws on the subject. Sport fishing was the subject of 23 laws and game regulations were changed in more than 20 acts. The commercial fishing industry and fishermen also were the object of some score or more laws. Jfceeveral efforts were made to ma Bially change the set-up of the Estate Department of Conservation ? anri ripvplnpment which administers all game and fish laws, but only one major change was made.' The offices of State game wardens and commissioner of inland fisher ies were consolidated into one office to be filled by a man "of scientific training and experence in the pro pagation and preservation of fish and game" whose salary will not ex ceed $3,000 yearly. He will be nam ed by the conservation board. Game Commissions. The major changes in the State game laws were embodied in one new act. Under it a game commis sion is created in each county, to be composed of the chairman of the county board of commissioners, the . clerk of the superior court, and the county game warden. The commis sion will direct the expenditure of a graduated percentage of the hunt ing license receipts for the control of predatory birds and animals. New schedules for license fees will be: County resident, 60 cents; State resident, $2.10; State non-resident, $10.10. Former fees were: County, $1.25; State, $3.25, and non-resident, $15.25. For the purpose of fixing openj and closed seasons, the State was divided into three zones. The west ern zone includes all counties west of Alleghany', Ashe, Watauga. Avery, Mitchell, Yancey, Buncombe and Henderson. The central district in cludes counties beginning at the western boundary and extending eastward to a line formed by War ren, Franklin, Wake, Chatham, Lee, Moore and Richmond counties. The eastern zone contains all counties east of the line. Open Seasons. Open seasons for taking game birds and animals, except possum, (Continued on page four) o ? Lives On County, But Lends Money Rutherfordton, May 22. ? An un usual complaint grew out of the meeting last week of the Ruther ford county board of commissioners. ^hShe board ordered the county at Hoey to collect $120 from Blank ^Wdlace, aged bachelor of the West minster section of the county, for alleged lodging at the county home when he was solvent. The order, charging that Wallace was self-supporting and even loan ed money while an inmate of the home, instructed the county attor ney, upon failure to collect the money, to bring suit. o Mr. Prilliman Now With Cheek & Woody It being necessary for Mr. J. J. Woody, Junior member of the firm of Cheek & Woody, to be absent from home for several weeks, Mr. G. I.

TRENCH PROPOSE POOLING Of ARMS Would Turn Heavy War Ma chinery Over to League In stead of Destroying It DESTRUCTION URGED UNDER BRITISH PLAN Geneva, May 23. ? France put a' puzzlng facer to the disarmament conference today when' Foreign Minister Paul-Boncour opposed the; destruction of heavy war material and advocated its perservation for use by the League of Nations against an aggressor. Destruction of heavy war material is provided by the British plan, which is supported by the United1 States, Italy and Germany as well as by its author*. Thus did the foreign minister of France revive and gire new empha sis to the old Tardieu scheme for, the internationalization of heavy mobile guns, tanks and other offen sive weapons. A German spokesman, comment ing afterwards, said that Paul-Bon cour's announcement meant that France no longer accepts the Brit ish project, for which she has sig nified acceptance. M. Paul-Boncour explained to the conference that the powers which are committed to give financial help (Continued on last page) MRS. JANIE GILBERT PASCHAL SUCCUMBS Mother Of Mrs. A. M.

Mr. J. 8. Walker presented the club prize. Edwin Hamlin was announced as the second in the contest, with Wil liam Collins a close contestant. Mrs. Numa Edwards told of some of the achievements of the Woman's club during the past year; of course, it would take a book to tell of all. the fine things the club has done, but only' the most outstanding were mentioned.

Davis, president of the Woman's club, who addressed the club, telling of some of the things that are needed in Roxboro, men tioning first, a community building, with an auditorium seating eight hundred; then a swimming pool, then following the suggestion that a play ground for the children would be of great help, both to mothers and children, bringing her sugges tions to a close mentioning that it would be of inestimable value if our bank could open. It .was A fine pa per and contained suggestions which will keep the citizens of Roxboro busy for some time if they decide to adopt any, or all, of her sug gestions. Mr. J. D.
