Board Denies Diverting
State's Wildlife Funds
FAYF'I TKV11.I.F. Vigorously
denying that any wildlife funds
bad been diverted since 1939, the
State Board of Conservation and
Development issued a series of
answers to charges made by the
North Carolian Wildlife Federa
I ion.
II was the first public utterance
of the board since the Federation
railed in 19415 to have the State Di
vision of Came and Inland Fish
eries separated from the State De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment. In the interim, the Federation
has advanced many arguments as to
why it contended the division
should be separated. The board
until its meeting here stood mute.
Thus the issue, pro and con, was
brought into the open, heralding
what probably will be one of the
major lights in the 1947 Legisla
ture. The board said that al funds re
ceived by the dlvisiotr are used
Two Softball

Two of last week's games will

fect, with a game between teams

solely for propagation and conser
vation of fish and game.
Among other things, the board
said:
The state has a well-planned pro
gram for propagation and conser
vation of game and fish; an un
usual decline in quail has occurred
in the last two years because of
natural reasons; the cost of hunt
ing licenses were increased last
year, primarily to acquire more
lands and waters for wildlife and
fish; there are approximately 100
well trained game wardens in the
state; that game wardens check as
many hunters and fishermen as
they can, but the public should co
operate more; fish have been pro
vided for private waters; that more
than 100,000 copies of law book
lets and extracts covering regula
tions were channeled to outdoor
men, and other articles appeared in
papers and magazines; and that
serious efforts have been made to
prevent the practice, by some hunt
ers, of hunting quail out of season.
Leagues
Canton
gion, Woodyard, Cily, Ridgeway,
and Cabc's will make up the Na
tional league. Each team will play
two games per week.
Last night Clyde was scheduled
lo play Smathers' Hill, and for
the second game, Cabe's was to
meet the Woodyard.
Tonight's schedule calls for the
Service club to meet Candler, and
the American Legion to play the
City.
If the Tigers continue in the
pennant race Detroit officials ex
pect to set a new American league
attendance record.

RALEIGH The State Utilities
commission issued orders last week
permitting railroads to increase
their intrastate rates on pulpwood
