County later in the campaign
Edwin Gill, state treasurer

He is running, he says, on his

state is in excellent financial
condition. Gill said, and the
state bonds now have the
highest rating that any state
can have.
Margaret Harper of
oouthport, a candidate for
lieutenant governor, has

jandidate for governor, said
last week that the state could
tund his campaign proposals
including the S12S million
career education program,
without new taxes.
He predicted that $300
million could be made available
in the general fund.
As reasons, he cited: the

Wilbur Hobby, candidate for
governor, criticized the NC
Blue Cross and Blue Shield for
-? u,uv ouiciu ior
requesting what he called
exhorbitant" increases in
three categories from policy
holders in the state
"Blue Cross - Blue Shield has
asked for a 36% increase in non
group rates for the coming
year and for an additional 9%
in their '65 program' which is
for aging citizens. Many people
are not aware of the fact that
they have actually asked for an
increase of 90% from policy
holders who are retired
military personnel. This is just
plain grossly unfair."

BY JIM DEAN
On the last day of the quail
season, 1 headed north in Ihe
afternoon through the rolling
hills of Wake County toward a
farm near Oxford. The air
conditioner in the car poured a
welcome icy blast into my
face.
It was hot. Radio man said it
was 78 degrees. What a way to
end the quail season.
Everybody I've talked to says
there is no point in going
hunting on such a hot day.
"You can't find quad on a
hot day," one hunting fried
told me. "Dogs can't smell em
anyway. It's a waste of time.
You might as well go fishing.
I- have taken his advice
seriously. 1 have my shotgun
and boots, but at the last
moment, I also threw in two
fishing tods and a tackle box.
While driving to the farm, I try
to remember the last time 1
carried fishing tackle on a quail
hunt. I half hope my
companion ?? we plan to meet
at the farm -- will forego the
quail hunt and fish one of the
ponds. I've even brought an
extra rod for him. But 1 m
unable to persuade him.
"You can go fishing
tomorrow, but you can't hunt
quail tomorrow," he argues. "I
know it's hot, but we'll take it
slow."
I can sympathize with him.
After all. he's right. It's the last
day of the season, and we've
got to store a few more
memories to tide us over the
summer until next fall.
We let Buck out of the pen
and move through the fields
slowly, wiping sweat with
every step. I'm wearing only a
short ? sleeve shirt, and the
briars in the thicket are doing
my arms no favors.
Then Buck points.
"It couldn't be birds," 1 say
as we walk up behind him. "He
must be smelling his upper
lip." Whooosh! They're up,
weaving and darting through
the straw and 10 ? foot pines.
We shool. We miss.
"Must have been a fluke," 1
remark. "After all, everything
has got to be somewhere, and
we just stumbled onto this
covey. I'll bet we don't find
anymore."
Less than an hour later.
Buck is pointing again, but the
birds get up wild and nobody
shoots. We hunt the singles and
get a couple of birds. Buck
doesn't seem to be having any
trouble smelling the birds. In
fact, despite the heat, he is
hunting better than he's
hunted all season.
The third covey is in the
woods. The fourth covey is in
an open field. It is getting a
little ridiculous. Here it is, hot
as blue blazes, and we're
finding quail everywhere. Some
are in the fields, some in the
woods. It's weird. We're not
supposed to be finding birds.
I've heard all my life that when
it's hot. you don't find quail.
I've used the same excuse
myself on days when the
temperature was in the high
40's. But today -- the last day
in February ?? the temperature
is in the high 70's. and we're
finding quail. Butterflies are
flitting about. Grasshoppers are
jumping in the grass. Frogs are
croaking in the bottoms, and
I've swallowed my share of
gnats. Even the bugs are
confused
Just before dusk. Buck finds
the fifth covey on a day when
it was an odds ?- on bet that he
wouldn't be able to smell a
bird if it lit on his nose.
There is only one conclusion
to make. It is obvious that it
can't get too hot to hunt quail,
and it's obvious that dogs can
smell quail when it's hot.
Another myth bites the dust.
On the way back to the
house, we pass the pond. Fish
are feeding all over it. It's the
first time I've thought about
fishing all afternoon.
