LANDMARK ? The last remaining part of what was once the first and last
tobacco warehouse located in the city limits came down last week at the
Upchurch mill. The Gold Leaf Warehouse was incorporated Aug. 17. 1914
and building was completed during 1915. In 1916 the firm went into
receivership and was sold to RaeJ'ord Power and Manufacturing Co.. which
sold it to Upchurch Milling Co. in 1919 and it was converted it to their own
uses. On Aug. 12. 1946. a fire broke out which destroyed a portion of the
original structure and caused an estimated S75.000-S 1 00. OIK) damage.

Ice Brings Driving Hazards
Schoolchildren rejoice with each
snow flake that falls, but according
to the North Carolina Division of
Motor Vehicles and the State
Highway Patrol, ice and snow
means trouble for most motorists.
Of all adverse weather condi
tions. nothing causes as much
confusion and traffic congestion or
increases the possibility of danger
as a sudden snow or ice storm
according to the departmental
spokesman.
As North Carolina is now in the
midst of the snow season, the state
agencies have offered some helpful
hints for driving in snow or ice.
They suggest that once the decision
is made that the trip is necessary,
the engine should be idling while
you clear all windows completely.
This will prevent engine stall and
provide clear vision as danger can
come from any direction.
Reinforced tire chains provide
the best traction with studded snow
tires as second best. Regular snow
tires are recommended provided
tread depth is sufficient to cut
through the snow. Regular snow
tires should not be used in combi
nation with front radials as this
ma y increase the chances for skids.
It is suggested that the speed be
adjusted so the wheels will continue
to turn. This will enable better
steering and cornering.
Following distances should be
increased to avoid the use of brakes
due to a sudden stop or slowing of
other traffic. When brakes are
used, pumping techniques should
be followed. If the vehicle goes into
a skid, avoid braking and steer in
the direction of the skid.
By Jim D 63 n NC WiMIiU R?ourc?* Commission
Scott Osborne is one of the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission's
game biologists, and like many
sportsmen, he is concerned about
the image the public has of the
hunter.
"I'm afraid some of the non
hunting public has a rather poor
opinion of hunters and hunting,"
said Scott recently. "Furthermore,
1 think this poor image is the direct
result of a rather small segment of
hunters we call slob hunters. The
slob hunter, though in the minor
ity. is highly visible. He's the guy
who openly breaks the law, who
flaunts his lack of regard for
wildlife laws, who has no regard for
the rights of others and often
trespasses on private, posted land."
To Scott, what to do about the
slob hunter is one of the biggest
problems facing other legitimate
hunters. Finding a way to rid
ourselves of slob hunters is not
easy, but Scott has given the matter
a lot of thought and he's come up
with some sound ideas.
He puts the burden directly on
the backs of legitimate sportsmen
who hunt legally and care about a
sound future for wildlife popula
tions.
"The legitimate hunter must
take the initiative," says Scott. "He
must not only demonstrate good
hunting practices himself; he must
also convince the slob hunting
minority that they must shape up or
lose their opportunities to hunt
(along with the rest of us)."
Scott outlines 10 excellent steps
which he considers basic.
(1) -- First, above all, hunters
should try to establish a good
relationship with landowners and
express a genuine interest in the
farmer's land and his operation. If
the farmer knows the hunter cares
about and understands his prob
lems. better relations will result.
(2) ? In asking permission to
hunt, hunters should learn what
species of game the landowner
wants protected. Once this has
been established, the hunter must
never harvest any species except
those agreed upon in advance.
(3) -- In requesting permission to
hunt, the hunter should offer to
always check with the landowner in
advance of EACH hunting trip.
Some farmers, once they get to
know and trust you, may simply let
you hunt without checking before
every trip, but it's always a good
idea to ask. It may also be a good
idea to check with the farmer each
time after you've finished hunting.
(4) -- Hunters should never bring
a friend or friends to hunt unless
this has been cleared with the
landowner in advance. This is one
of the landowner's pet peeves
because many "friends" assume
wrongly that they also havie the
right to return and hunt alone
later. They don't.
(5) ? Hunters should offer to
report to the landowner any misuse
or abuse of his property that is
encountered during a huntjng trip.
This might include trespass, dam
age to property or other abuse.
(6) -- It is also a good idea for
hunters to invite landowners to
hunt with them. Some landowners
may like to hunt; but for many
reasons (lack of dogs or compan
ionship), they may get little oppor
tunity. They will appreciate your
sincere offer; and you may develop
a long, mutual friendship that will
be fruitful for both of you.
(7) -- Hunters should inform
landowners that they will use only
roads, tractor paths or trails that
already exist. Four-wheel drive

THURSDAY. JANUARY 20. 1977
Read Philippians 4:10-13
"I have learned, in whatever
state I am, therewith to be con
tent." (Philippians 4:1 1 )
Unimpeded by a single leafy
bough, the seering rays of the sun
were reflected from the sand sky
ward at temperatures well over 100
degrees. I pitied our dogs near
fainting in their house, the only
shade available to them since our
move to the desert. There would be
a large tree and grass in their yard
eventually, but we had to replant
several times. The dogs had kept
digging everything up.
Finally realizing they could not
understand that we were putting
the plants in the yard for their
benefit, I laid wire over the seeded
areas and fenced off the latest tree.
Later I discovered the dogs had not
only gotten the wire off the seeded
area and dug up the grass again,
but they had also dug beside the
yi7
protective fence around the tree,
pulled up the tree, and chewed it to
pieces.
"If only there were some way to
make them understand." I
thought. Then it occurred to me
that I probably have as little
understanding of some of the
blessings God is trying to give me as
the dogs have of what we are trying
to give them. I wondered what
shelter I might be willfully destroy
ing that God is planting for me.
PRAYER: Dear God. please teach
us obedience so that we will
accept, even without under
standing. all the blessings You
would lavish upon us. Amen
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Am I struggling against fate
when I should be thanking God
for blessings?
copyr ' ' t -- THE UPPER ROOM
rena Pepper Edlen
(Chaparral, New Mexico)
vehicles are nice, but they should
not be used to cross fields or
pastures. Avoid driving on roads,
paths and trails when the weather is
extremely wet and bad ruts could
be created.
(8) - Hunters should offer the
landowner part of their kill. Most
landowners will decline; but even if
they occasionally accept, it is a very
small price to pay for a good place
to hunt.
(9) -? At all costs, avoid leaving
any litter on the landowner's
property or anywhere else for that
matter. If you see where someone
else has left some litter, take a little
time to clean it up.
(10) -- Hunters should keep in
mind that farming entails great
expense, and even minor things can
make a big difference. If gates are
shut, leave them shut when you use
them. Never damage a fence while
climbing it. Be especially careful of
shooting towards buildings or do
mestic animals.
Scott winds up his excellent list
of suggestions with a comment that
is worth remembering.
"1 firmly believe that any person
who obeys the law and truly makes
an effort to follow the above
practices will always have a place to
hunt." says Scott. "I know these
things have worked for me most of
the time, and they will work for
others."
