Drivers Urged To
Renew Licenses
Raleigh—Persons with surnames
beginning with C or B were urged
today by officials of the Motor Ve
hicles Department to get their new
driving licenses as soon as pos
sible.
It is estimated tftat there are
around 150,000. drivers in North'
Carolina with surmames beginning
with C or D, and since their period
for re-issuance got under way on
Jan. 1, only 18,000 C’s and D’s have
been re-licensed.
“This leaves, a long way to go,”
the department pointed out, add
ing that “if persons witiTl&st names
beginning with C or D want to
avoid long lines, they should get
their new licenses right away.”
The law provides that any C and
D caught driving on an old license
after June 30 will'be guilty of a
misdemeanor and will be punished
by a fine of not less than $25.
The license re-examination pro
gram is a part of the State’s new
Highway Safety Act, passed by the
last Legislature. Since the re-issu
ance program got under way last
July 1, 171,000 new licenses have
. been-issued, around 153,000 of them
going- to drivers with last names
beginning with A and B. The A and
B period laster from last July 1
through Dec. 30. - •
Motor vehicles officials urged C
and D drivers in Alamance county
to report at once to their license
examining station in the court
house and not to wait, yntil the
end of the period—June 30—when
a last-minute rush will probably
develop.
The license examination* cbnsists
of four parts: a highway sign test,
a rules of the road test, a visual
test and an actual road or driving
test. * ,.

' outside
New York stale thipdWf this state
only in terms of big cities and big
industries. Thai; is true but, also, it
is a ‘“big” playground for sports
men with good hunting and fish
ing. We use this state as an ex
ample of what can be done in pro
tecting* wildlife resources—under
smart conservation practices in
the'face of advancing civilization.
The other day we happened ac
i cross a report showing the record
I fish taken in New York state, and"
j we were surpridW at the §ize of
I most of the species. Here are the
record holders: Muskellunge, 58
! pounds, 5 ounces; northern pike,
; 46 pounds, 2 ounces (national
record, also)); walleye, .14 pounds,
lake trout, 31 pounds, rainbow
trout, 21 pounds; brown trout, 19
j .pounds, 14 ounces; brook trout. 8
j pounds, 8 ounces; smallmouth
bass, 9 pounds; a*ml largemouth
bass, 10 pounds, 0 ounces.
All of these fish, except the lake,
brown and brook . t^out and the
smallmouth Pass, . have been;
caught since 1940. The prize brooki^ 1
was taken in 19088, the lake .tr.out j
in 1922, the brown trout in 1923
and the 9-pound smallmouth in
1925. .
This is all the proof that’s
needed to show that any state, re
gardless of population, can offer
its residents good fishing. Hunting,
too, can be had irf all states Under
good game management as proved
by 'New York.
SHOOTING DEER •
How far, would you guess, is the
average distance for killing a deOr
in the United States? It’s 113 yards:
There is great difference, how
ever, from state to state as a re
cent report by. the National Rifle
Association shows. Here are some
o fthe figures: Wyoming, 175 yards
(greatest distance reported); Mon
tana, 82 yards; California, 90 yards;
Colorado, 165 yards; Maine, 83
yards; Michigan, 881 yards( short
est distance); Minnesota, 101 yards;
Texas, 120 yards; Washington, 83
yards. —‘-r—77
“LOADED BOW!”
We’ve heard of hunters being
arrested and fined for carrying
loaded guns in their automobiles;
but the “loaded bow” is a Hew one
on us. A Wiscodsin archer is re
ported to have been fined $10 for
cafrying a strung bow in his car.
Maybe this is a good idea, for we
are getting more nd more archery
enthusiasts every season, and they
can take a crack "at a deer or some
other game from an auto the same
as a man with a gun.
