CALLING CONTEST . . . You'll
have to decide for yourself who
was the better man in this turkey-
calling contest.
The story of the contest comes
from Halifax County, whore it was
staged, by way of Warren County,
where- the , two , contestants live.
The hunters had gone to Halifax
on a fox hunt. During the wander
ings, of their party, a gang of wild
turkeys was. flushed. Each man
made a mental note of the spot and
each made, plans.
Next morning, each man, unbe
knownst to the other, went back to
the scene.. One began yelping. The
other Answered. Repeat. Ditto.
After a spell of this call-and-
answer business, one of the hunters
decided the answering yelp wasn't
becoming any more distinct and
decided he'd move a little closer
to the "turkey".
Hunter No. 2, seeing a movement
in the bushes as No. 1 got in mo
tion, thought he had the turkey
and let go with his gun. The result
was that No. 1 caught a few shot
in the face which, fortunately,
caused only slight injuries.
You can't be too careful when
you., or ohters nearby, have a load
ed gun around.
BIGGEST ... The U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's annual in
ventory of waterfowl, now in pro
gress, is being conducted on the
most extensive basis yet attempted
according to Albert M. Dav, direc
tor of the Service.
This inventory, the 13th supervis.
ed by the Service,, will be on a con
tinentnwide Mexico to Alaska
basis rather than on a nationwide
basis as in the past. It started on
the day after last Monday's close
of this season, and will continue
through January 17.
The objective is expressed by
Day in these words: "Reports on
duck hunting this fall from most
parts of the country have been dis
couraging. We propose to do our
utmost to find out what has hap
pened to the ducks."
AIR-MINDED . . . Transporta
tion of the more than 1,000 observ
ers taking part in the inventory
ranges from foot to. plane; per
sonnel includes state and federal
conservation officers, wildlife tech
nicians, ornithologists, and sports
men; their activities, are being car
ried on in the United States, Mex
ico,, Central America, Alaska, and
Canada. ,
Greater use, of airplanes and
aerial photography than in the past
,is being made, according to Day.
Aircraft recently acquired by the,
Service are supplemented with

NEW GOALS ... In addition
to being the "biggest", the current
inventory also has a couple of new
objectives: trying to determine (1)
wildfowl use of Alaska and coastal
Canada, particularly British Colum
bia, and (2) how many birds winter
south of the border.
The inventory is the Service's
first step in gathering information
on which its recommendations for
next year's hunting regulations
will be based. Other steps will be
next spring's observations of
northward migrations and next
summer's breeding-ground studies.
Day said that recommendations
probably will not be ready for sub
mission to the secretary of the in
terior before June or July.
BOOST ... A boost for the deer
trapping and redistribution pro
gfam of the Division of Game and
Inland Fisheries came recently in
a proclamation by. Mayor Francis
P. Bacon of Tryon calling for pro
tection of deer which have been
released in Polk County. The pro
clamation was inspired by "Woods
Rider", outdoor editor of the Spar
tanburg (S. C.) Herald Journal who
lives in Tryon.
Declaring that "if these deer are
permitted unmolested to reestab
lish themselves in this area.they
will become an economic Asset and
added attraction of the commu
nity," Mayor Bacon proclaimed
Tryon a sanctuary for them. He
called on law enforcement officers
and other citizens to "afford the
deer every protection possible, par
ticularly in the matters of prevent
ing and stopping dogs from run-,
ning or molesting the deer, in ex
ercising care in driving through
wooded areas at night, and in
promptly reporting efforts of any
one to shoot or othewise molest or
annoy these deer."
Lumber production .figures for
1946 show an increase for the first
time since 1942.
Sylva Court Teams
Defeated Tuesday
By Waynesville
A successful invasion of Sylva
was added to the Waynesville cage
record Tuesday night in their first
post-holiday match, with the girls
winning 17 to 7, and the boys vic
torious 31 to 29. Soates was high
scorer for the Waynesville girls,
and Bryson, the Sylva forward, led
with 12 points as his team lost a
closely-contested game.

Undefeated Girls'
Teams Will Tangle
In Opening Match
At 7:30 P. M.
The Waynesville High basketball
teams will meet their toughest
competition yet this season tonight
against the strong Bethel combina
tions, with the program getting
under way at 7:30 o'clock on the
local gymnasium.
In the opening duel two unde
feated teams will clash. The vet
eran Bethel sextet, fresh from a
, 38-25 win over Canton, has taken
j care of all high school opposition
i with ease, and has a win over the
1 F.nka girls' team to their credit as
well. They have a pair of sharp
shooting forwards in West and
Farmer, with a well-balanced squad
including good reserves.
Although the Waynesville girls
started slow this year, with few
first-string players on hand from
the previous season, they worked
, into top shape quickly and have
j been better than any team yet they
I have met. Frances Scates, their
! tall forward, has been their biggest
j point maker, but the other forwards
have been developing a scoring
punch steadily to supplement
Scates, and the defensive trio con
tains one of the best guards in
this section in Ensley.
The Bethel quintet, like the
Mountaineers, played together last
year, and have beaten all school
opposition this winter, having lost
a close match to an All-Star team
from their home community as
their only defeat this season. Their
small but fast forward, Billy Wells,
is their most dangerous man on.
a highly potent team. Waynesville's
team, prior to the Christinas. break,
had also dropped .one tilt, has
plenty of talent, but had not com
pletely developed their shot-making
ability.
Still, with a Messer and Gibson
to bring the ball down the court
and turn it over to such ball hand
lers as Grahl, Powprs, and Robin
son, the Mountaineers wil not be
taken lightly by any high school
cagers including Bethel.

Canton Marks Up
Wins Wednesday
Over St. John's
St. John's suffered a double de
feat from Canton at the Waynes
ville Armory Wednesday night. The
game, in all the quarters, was a
spirited one, and the score at the
half showed Canton with only a
slight lead of 8-5. But in the final
quarters the physical stamina of
the. more experienced Canton bas
keteers, won out, 20 to 8.
The girls' game ended with a
score of 40-1 1 also in favor of Can
ton. Both teams did excellent work
but, the Canton players outclassed
the less experienced Rangerettes.
