Nice Surprise
Give*?hock
Mrs. Lillian Hendrix, widow of

fott dentist, received a pleasant,
although somewhat shocking sur
prise last week.
A former patient of her hus
band's sought her out to pay a
$3.50 debt of 20 years' standing.
The gentleman, who would not re
veal his name, was from Wilkes
boro, N. C.
He told Mrs. Hendrix, who
works at Merrill's store, that he
came to Beaufort to find Dr. Hen
drix and pay the bill. (Jpon learn
ing that the doctor had died quite
a few years ago. he said he in
quired about his widow. Had he j
been unable to locate Mrs. Hen
drix. he was going to give the mon
ey to the Red Cross, he remark
ed.
Mrs. Hendrix said it gave her
a peculiar feeling to see her hus
band's handwriting on the bill the
man showed her. The Wilkei
boro gentleman was described a*
being approximately SO years oi
age and well-dressed.
As Mrs. David Merrill, owner
and manager of the store, com
mented, "We hear about to many
bad things these days, it's wonder
ful to hear about something good."

Deer, Bear Season
Opens Tomorrow
Unusual Deaths of Deer
Will Not Cause Change
In Hunting Season
The deer hunting season in
North Carolina will open as sche
j duled tomorrow despite the trou
ble which has killed many of the ,
animals within the past feW weeks, ;
Wildlife Commission officials'
said this week.
In making the announce-!
ment, the commission's executive |
director, Clyde I\ Patton, said
that it still has not been deter- j
mined what is producing the
wholesale deaths among deer. The
condition is prevalent in several i
states along the Atlantic Sea
board.
Despite some alarm among
deer hunters, Patton said that "no
definite evidence has yei been
produced to cause alarm, and
there is no immediate possibility
of closing the deer season."
Examinations have been made
of several dead deer brought to
Kaleigh, but po orgaaism has been
found that might be dangerous to
humans, he said. As a safety
measure,'' hunters were advised,
however, to take precautions when
dressing deer so as to avoid get
ting blood into cuts or abrasions
on the skin. The usual precau
tions of "cook well before eating"
should be followed, Patton added.
Open season on bear begins
tomorrow and continues through
Jan. 2 as does the season on deer.
Season on raccoon, oposstim (with
guns and dogs), squirrels and
pheasants opened Oct. 1. Season
on rabbits, quail, wild turkey and
ruffed grouse will not begin un
til Nov. 24.
A brief check yesterday
throughout the .county showed
that approximately 500 hunt
ing licenses have been sold here,
this includes both resident and
state licenses. Licenses can be
purchased at almost Yiny store
which carries hunting supplies or
equipment.
Opening of the deer and bear
season also means that forest fire
wardens go on the alert.
"The several thousand hunters
who will take to the field tom
orrow on the opening day of the
1949 hunting season will create a
tremendous hazard to the forests
of North Carolina unless each one
exercises extreme care to prevent
forest fires."
Rep. J. V. Whitfield of Pender
county, general chairman of the
North Carolina Forestry Associa
tion's "Keep North Carolina,
Green" committee, commented
yesterday.
"Because sportsmen realize the
disastrous effect forest fires have
on wildlife }he majority are ex
tremely cautious, however the
minority weiie, according to re
cords of the N. C. Forest service,
responsible for 157 fires in North
Carolina last year which burned
10,000 acres and caused damages
amounting to thousands of dol
lars".
"This was a heedless waste of
North Carolina's forest resour
ces, and a recurrence can be
avoided this year if each hunter
will pledge to help "Keep North
Carolina Green", Whitfield said.

CIO to Set Up Polls Monday
Morning Near Plant
The summer-long fight between j
management at the Morehead City
Garment company and the CIO will
reach a climax Monday morning
when workers will cast ballots at
polls set up at the Matthis Radio
Service company, 1401 Bridges st.,
Morehead City. Voting time will
be from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m.
But CIO leaders, who are confi
dent they will win the election,
claim that organizing the plant is
only the beginning. Their big pro
blem. they relate, will be to get
a contract. To administer union
activities, if they should win Mon
day, a CIO man will be kept here j
for at least six months.
Attempts to gain favorable at- 1
titudes toward the CIO began here j
early in the summer. The Nation
al Labor Relations board was call- j
ed in the latter part of August {
and hearings were conducted Aug.
26 and 29 at the municipal build
ing, Morehead City.
A second hearing was scheduled
because representatives of the
plant's management did not make
an appearance at the first. Miles
J. McCormick was the hearing of
ficer for the NLRB.
The NLRB's decision, made pu
blic Sept. 30. ordered that an elec
tion should be held so that gar
ment company employees could de
termine whether they wanted the
CIO to represent them as a bar
gaining agent.
It was announced Tuesday of
this week that the election would
take place Monday. Voting will
be by secret ballot and for two
hours only, between 0 a.m. and
8 a.m.
Advertisements setting forth the
case of both management and the
union appear in today's HfcWS
TIMES.
