Much of the open hunting area is in the 58,000-acre Sandhills Wildlife Management Area. Dates for the hunt are Decem ber 15 and 16, from noon to sun set.

As The Pilot went to press shortly after 5 p. m. a marker outside the back door showed that 18 inches had fallen. Southern Pines was reportedly the heaviest hit town in the state. Mt. Mitchell, in comparison, had only 3 inches. The snow started falling short ly after 5 o’clock this morning and by the time most people were starting to work there was five inches on the ground. Traffic in most every section of town was snarled and it was im possible for any vehicle without chains to move about. Some businesses didn’t bother to open. Several others opened but quickly closed when it began to appear certain that the heavy ity that was used in the program, snowfall was not going to stop. Southern Pines schools were open but so few students showed The Chamber of Commerce, which went out of existence sev- —". — —" o.xuwcu. eral months ago, formerly put up that it was ordered that they ., . jclose at 10 o’clock.

One of the /biggest traffic jams occurred on Connecticut Avenue as workers going to Fort Bragg had to abandon their cars, un able to proceed, any further. Most started the long tramp back to town. ^ ^ • John Goldsmith, a forester who sponsor Christnias Connecticut had his bull- dozer going full blast pulling stalled cars off the road and giv ing others needed shoves. On Highway 1 just south of town a large tractor trailer, un able to make it up the hill, was stuck and jammed the highways as the driver was forced to leave it parked crossways on the road. All over town cars were aban doned as the only available wrecker was answering emer gency calls. Many businesses, 'including Karagheusian Company’s carpet plant in Aberdeen, shut down and allowed their employees to go home. One of the most interesting items heard all day, however, was the plight of a large number of school superintendents holding their mid-winter institute at the Hollywood Hotel. Stuck, unable to get out of town when the meet ing was over, they were kept busy for hours calling their home towns to ascertain the conditions there. They, to the glee of some - school children, were the only ones kept in!
