WEATHER permitting, the In

day afternoon should draw one of
the largest crowds vet to the
Waynesville High School field, for
one thing, local rooters have a hot
team to support, one with an un
blemished record, and will be
starting against one of the strong
est nines in the league. There
were about 4(10 people present at
the Canton game last Wednesday,
and those that want to see a good
ball game will find plenty of com
pany on hand at the stadium.
Rufus Gaddis does a very good job
of announcing and has a pair of
nimble hands that keeps the official
records while he does it. If you've
ever seen a baseball score sheet
filled oil with everv play re
corded, you'd be a little amaed
to see how one man could do all
this announce over the loud
speaker at the same time.

SMALL-MOUTHED BASS
HATCHERY UNDER CONSTRUC
TION Lindsay B. Hopkins, Engi
neer for the North Carolina Divi
sion of Game and Inland Fisher
ies, reports progress on the Table
Rock Fish Hatchery near Morgan
ton. Working steadily with five
trucks, a 14 ton bulldozer tractor,
a crew of ten men have dredged
Irish Creek and excavated the spill
way for a dam that will impound
a five acre lake.
When completed the plant will
embrace twenty-four rearing ponds
and four main buildings designed
appropriately for hatchery work.
Due to a critical shortage of some
materials, Hopkins has not set a
definite lime for completion, but
he's striving to get things in order
:'or operation during the next sea
son. Its purpose is to provide small
nouthed bass to sections of the
western part of the State suitable
to this specfes of fish.
DISMAL SWAMP CANAL BE
ING RESTORED Northeastern
sportsmen are elated that George
Washington's Ditch the Geart Dis
mal Swamp Canal is shortly to be
estored to its standard nine fool
channel depth by Army Engineers.
Thus our oldest man-made water
way will carry sportsmen into bet
Ler fishing and into an area where
rear and deer abound in credit
ible numbers.
At one time, it is said, game was
so numerous in the Dismal Swamp
:hat some hunters killed as high
as thirty bears in a single year.
Once in a while sportsmen from
Virginia drift down into these bad
lands to pick off a deer. Birds that
nest on the ground are scarce, but
Lake Drummond and tributaries
are considered good fishing.
Each season Virginia sportsmen
conduct contests for the state
championships for the best bear
and deer. The championship deer
of 1945 went to J. Eugene Jones of
Smithfield, Virginia for his kill at
'.he Isle of Wight, but seven of the
right winners in the bear contest
were taken from the Dismal
Swamp. Steve Heretick of Hope
well. Virginia took first prize with
his kill in the Dismal Swamp which
meashured twenty-eight and three
quarter inches circumference of
head at large point of jaw, two and
one sixteenth inches tip to tip of I
top canine teeth, eighty one and
three eights inches hide length, ten
and three sixteenth inches skull
length, five and three quarters
inches skull width and four and
three quarter inches skull depth.
George B. Johnson, chairman of
the Deer and Bear Contest Com
mittee, who resides at 60 Hopkins
Street, Hilton Village Branch. New
port News, Virginia, has ambitions
to make this six year old contest
a tri-state affair embracing Vir
ginia. Pennsylvania, and North
Carolina. Sportsmen, if you con
cur in his endeavors, drop him a
line. He'll explain the program.
