A partial total for the mountain area was put at 126, but no report was received from several areas. In Pisgah Forest, 15 deer were killed In the North Mills River sec tion, 14 in Davidson Rivej, one at Bent Creek and one on Pisgah Ledge. In Sherwood, 22 were killed on : west Fork and six on Big Bast I Fork. Malcolm Edwards, supervisor of WNC wildlife refuges, termed the opening day kill "generally good." With reports in from eight of the 10 refuges, Edwards said the total kill for the first day already Ites reached 126 bucks. This figure did not include Flat Top and Fires Creek refuges. By word of mouth from various hunters who visited Flat Tod, the new 14.000-acre refuge in Yancey and Mitchell counties, it was learned that the kill there was good and that the bucks were large. However, no one knew the figure of the actual kill. The most deer were killed on Pisgah Preserve, but still the kill there was termed below par be cause of the greater number of hunters. Pisgah and Rich Laurel were a bit dirapDointing. according to wildlife officals who expected the kills to run higher. However, yes terday 'the second day), Pisgah was picking up. Eleven bucks were checked out at Davidson River and several others at the remaining checking stations. Mt. Mitchell also had a better day By 3 p.m., 12 bucks were checked out, nine through the South Toe checking station and three through Curtis Creek. Need Larger Stadium EAST LANSING, Mich. <AP) ?

Hughes, di- , rector of the Bureau of Correc- , tions warned Oberst, a placement representative, "You'll be lucky to find one a month at first.'' He is now placing about two men { a month while tracking employers \ all over the ^tate. He estimates j he has interviewed around 375 prospective employers at the rate of about 10 a day.
