thousands are arriving at Lake

'Vl lina’s coast. By full moon (October
12), the migration was in full swing
as the wildfowl followed their sea
sonal schedule. >
> Mattamuskeet, ‘ winter feeding
; ground for nearly a quarter million
ducks and geese last year, expects
a greater influx of winged visitors
this season, and even better nunt
•ing for the sportsman. >
The prediction of a “somewhat
. greater” gamefowl population ai
> Mattamuskeet in the ’54-55 hunt-’
ing season was made by Willie G.
Cahoon, U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service representative in charge of
__ the Mattamuskeet Wildlife Refuge.
Mr. Cahoon is a top authority
;4 on gamefowl, with 20 years of back
ground and observation at Matta
4 muskeet.1
“We have more Three-Square
- around the lake than last year,
which usually means more geese,
and we have a good crop of Buck
itV' Millet”, he said.
Explaining, he said that Three
Square is the common- term for
Scripus Americanus, a bullrush
type of plant which averages about
three feet in height, and which
geese consider quite a delicacy.

by wildfowl abound in the 50,000
acre refuge area, giving the visitors
a well-rounded diet and making
30,000-acre Lake Mattamuskeet a
favorite wintering spot along the
Atlantic Flyway.
And a favorite it is. Last year,
at least 230,000 dlicks and geese
were accounted for in the Matta
muskeet bill-count. Of this number,
Canada geese totaled about 79,000,
Pintails were slightly ahead with
75,000,'and the 16 other species of
ducks accounted for a total of 92,
000.
From 24 blinds operated with
governmental supervision along the
southern shore of the lake, a total
of 3,420 geese weTe killed last
season, along with 2,257 Pintails,
and 2,215 other .ducks.
From information furnished by
local wardens, an estimated 14,000
Canada geese were killed on ad
jacent (privately owned) lands, to
bring the total kill to 17,429, or
about one-fourth of the peak con
centration. j
Sinee 1984, when the Department
of Interior established the Wildlife
Refuge at Mattamuskeet, 212 spec
ies of birds have been counted in
the lake area, making this spot one
of the most popular bird havens
along the entire Atlantic coast.
Public hunting on the Refuge is
under supervision of the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Com
mission, and blinds may be reserv
ed by writing to L. B. Tunnell, the
Refuge Protector, New Holland, N.
C. Specific blinds or guides cannot
be reserved,; as assignments are
piade by drawings.
Season for hunting both ducks
and geese this season begins on
Wednesday, November 10, 1954,
and closes on Saturday, January
8, 1955.

Pay for sleeping?'
It is rather an unusual job, but

hour work day.
It is a promotion stunt Preston
is using to advertise his appear
ance here. The applicant will be
put to sleep by Preston and put on
window display in a downtown
store, according to information re
leased at the J^ycee meeting Mon
day night.
The hypnotist and magician 1$
to appear here under the auspices
of die Jaycees, who will use the
proceeds to pay for a tractor the
club has purchased for the high
school agriculture department. The
performances will be given at the
high school auditorium.
Arrangements for Preston’s ap
pearance were made at the Mon
day night meeting. Paul King, club
treasurer, who is chairman of the
project, appointed the following
members to serve on committees:
Rodney Southerland, outdoor ad
vertising; June Martin, Jr., tic
kets; Dave McClenny, school tic
kets; Otis Wood, auditorium; Billy
Bizzell, public address system; Jim
my McPhail, refreshments, and
Robert Shackelford was put in
charge of screening applicants for

King, in disclosing Preston’s
plans, said the person who is will
ing to be put to sleep in connection
with this program, would be put
to sleep in a downtown business
place late in the afternoon of the
performance and carried to the
high school at show time, where
he (or she) would be awakened.
Physicians say that hypnotism has
no harmful effects on persons hy
pnotised.
Anyone desiring this sort of
work is asked to contact Shackel
ford. - \ *

► One put of every eight home,ac
cidents^ caused by fire and in al
most every case the resulting in
jury is extremely painful and all
too Often fatal.
The kitchen is the1 place where
most fire accidents happen and it
is the housewife’s tendency to htft
ry, her thoughtlessness and disre
gard for safetly that causes the
trouble. Neglect in turning off gas
jets, ^rearing loose sleeved robes,
spilling pans full of hot grease ac
counts for approximately 50 per
cent of these fire injuries. Con
tinued use of faulty stoves and
frayed cords on electrical appli
ances practically guarantee an ex
plosion or short circuit.
Falling asleep with a lighted
cigarette or dropping a burning
match on the bed clothing is rap
idly becoming a leader in the
home fire group. Far too many
smokers overestimate their own
ability to stay awake and consec
quently slip into the arms of mor
pheus with a cigarette still burn
ing.
Flamable material, oil equipment
and defective furnaces make up
the remainder of home fire acci
dents. Paint-soaked rags piled in
cellars, supposedly kept for fu
ture use, are quickly forgotten and
new rags used. Failure to have
your furnace checked before start
ing for winter weather often means
fire and explosion because of faul
ty burner ignitioq or oil feed, or
dirty flues and chimneys.
