' According to information from the Wildlife Resources Commiss ion and Orange County Game Pro tector Bob Logan, the outlook for Doves, Turkeys Look Good Here The hunter may expect to find improved prospects for some game, while others will likely just be holding their own in this vicinity, according to early season reports. The supply of doves is said to be looking better, what with the increased planting of State-sup plied wildlife cover by conserva tion-minded Orange County resi dents. T A new bird on the woods scene this year will be the Coturnix quail — a Japanese bird just in troduced in the state by the Wild life Resources Commission, and now being grown by several Or ange County sportsmen. r Same Regulations Regulations for Coturnix will be the same all for the Bob White. While they grow and reproduce very quickly, it’s problematic how many many remain in this area since they have migratory charact eristics. , The wild turkey—top prise in ] the weeds—is holding his own in in Orange this season, though in 1 torn* counties of Tar Hoelia tho turkey season has been can celed to replenish the supply. Birds of 18 to 20 pounds have not been infrequent in this area. The outlook for ducks and geese will probably be mainly in jump shooting along the rivers, though farm ponds are occasionally at tracting some south-bound migrat ing birds. Quite a few hunters from here are expected to “join the National Suard-supervised deer hunt at But ter on Thursday and Friday of lext week. While Orange has no leer,- there have been some good Jags in adjoining Durham, Gran-1 >dlle, and Person Counties during he Butner hunts. The rabbit and squirrel popula ion, of course, is continuing to in crease and the woods are expected., :o contain more squirrel hunters tnd rabbit hunters than any other! ype of game seekers. On the other land, the old-time favorite of possum and coon hunting seems! o be on the decline. sportsmen this year will continue quite good, inasmuch as fair weath er earlier has made for a good breeding season. Appeal For Courtesy In an appeal to local hunters to be a credit to their outdoor sport, Mr.. Logan emphasized that all should make it a point to secure permission to hunt ■ on the proper ty owner's land before starting out. “We owe the land owner every courtesy and respect we can .show him. "Aftor all, wa'ra out there on ly at his discretion, and are his guest. And when .we leave I hope we'll all go by and thank him tor for jt pleasant day." Mr. Logan noted that in the past there have been instances of groups of teen-age boys going-hunting in “this area. He cautioned that by state law the only way that bovs under 16 can legally hunt is with their father if he holds a license or by taking their father’s license, if he sees fit. or with a guardian. Squirrel* Close Jan. V The general season in this sec tion will continue through Feb. 1»). though the squirrel season will close Jan. 1.' ' ti All . hunters were reminded by. the game- protector to secure the necessary hunting licenses at an-, thorized outlets in hunting supplies I Stores throughout the county I $25,000 Loan Being Raised For Building me campaign w from local citizens to help finance the construction of a building to bouse Reverie Lingerie Co., opera tions in Hillsboro was well past the half-way mark yesterday. The plan under . which a new building would be financed joint ly by the citizens of the commun ity, the Reverie company and North Carolina Business Develop m?nt Corporation was explained at a public meeting at the court house last Friday night attended by about 50 citizens. Pledges of loan funds have been turned in by volunteer solici tors all week and sponsors of the plan are confident the amount needed can be raised. The total bad reached about SI6,000 yester iay. - The plan, as outlined by Don S. Matheson, chairman of the Orange bounty Industrial and Agricultural Commission, called for the- con struction of a 15,000 square foot luilding for the Reverie company, nanqfacturers of ladies lingdrife, vhich was victim of a fire and ex plosion last September followlilg i six-months long strike by work ers seeking union representation, \ large number of the former strikers and employees attended ast Friday’s meeting.
