one person could do so much.

The Davie High School opens
its 10-game football schedule
at the Davie Stadium tomorrow
night (Friday) at 8 o'clock.
The Rebels will face Albe
marle, a tough non-conference
opponent from the South Pied
mont Conference.
Coach Jack Ward has indi
cated that he will use the two
platoon system in the opener,
regardless of the way the game
goes, in order to find his best
talent under fire for the eight
conference games coming up.
Davie County, which won five,
lost two and tied three last
year, has lost 48 players via
graduation in the past two
years, but Coach Ward isn't
resorting to the crying towel.
"We have some fine football
players," he said, "but we're a
little worried about team speed
as well as experience."

4,00 a i
Acres
Leased
The state of North Carolina
has leased the 4,000-acre Cool
eemee Plantation for small-game
hunting, Davie County Wildlife
Protector Tom Bailey announced
today.
It is one of the largest land
leases by the state specifically
for small game hunting.
About 2,500 acres is located
in eastern Davie County, the
remaining 1,500 acres across the
Yadkin River in Davidson Coun
ty.
Three fields of millet have
been planted to attract doves,
and other patches have been
planted for quail and rabbit*.
Hunting will be on Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons only
during the hunting season.
Dove season officially opens
Saturday at 1 p.m. The squirrel
season opens Oct. IS, with rab
bit and quail hunting to begin
Nov. ia
Hunters planning to use the
leased lands should follow High
way 64 east toward Lexington
and follow directional signs
posted in the area.
In order to hunt on state
leased property, a hunter must
buy a $3 permit in addition to
the regular hunting license.
This permits the holder to hunt
small game—in season, natural
•ly—on all state-leased lands.
The special $3 permit is on
sale at WiDdns Drug Store in
Mocksville and at F4W Sport
ing Goods Store, 207 North
Main, in Salisbury.
