Safety Expert Says 8 Hunters . Witt Lose Lives Eight North Caroliittaiis arc ex peeted to die from gunshot wound* during the current hunting season, according to Wildlife Resources Commission hunter safety special ist BiN Hamnett. One non-fatal ac cident has already been reported, Hamnett says, and seven more will occur if past records ere repeated this year. Hamnett is supervising the wild life commission’s new volunteer .hunter safety training program, which so far has available 259 cer tified volunteer hunter safety in structors. Wildlife commission records; show 23 fatalities in the last three hunting seasons. There were 25 non-fatal accidents in the same period, making an average of 18 hunting accidents each year. One Goldsboro dove hunter has ' already been hospitalized with self inflicted shotgun wounds. Hamnett states, “There is no such thing as the typical hunting accident, but from our records we can pretty well predict what will happen. The west common type of accident occurs when an experi enced hunter stumbles, falls, and shoots his hunting companion or himself.” Eleven cases of persons killed or wounded when a hunter stumbled and fell were reported during the three-year period. This year Hamnett expects three of the shooters to be under 21 years of age, and seven of the victims to be minors. Five wounds, he says, will be self-inflicted, and here the younger hunters stand the best chance of becoming part of the sta tistics. Four will be minors, and only one victim an adult. What is the most dangerous wea pon? According to Hamnett, a shot gun has figured in 35 eases while rifles involved 12. Less than half the shotgun cases proved fatal, claiming 15 victims. Fewer hunt ers use rifles, but more than half the rifle-wound victims, seven per sons, died from wounds inflicted by the high-velocity weapons. An axe was listed as the weapon ip on case involving a coon hunter. Of the 18 cases expected this 'year, half the victims will be with in 10 yards of the gun. Another third wifi be within 50 yards, and the remainder will include some more than a hundred yards from the shooter. In calling attention to the most frequent causes of hunting acci dents, Hamnett listed thedollowitig categories appearing in the com mission’s records: victim covered by shooter swinging his weapon to ’ward game, victim moving into line Just Plain Fishin' Photo by F.

Havelock Win UpsSeadogs In Standings The Coastal Football conference standing took a considerable shak ing up last Friday. Doing the most damage to the standings were the Havelock Rams who knocked La Grange from the ranks of the un beaten 20-6. The loss moved La Grange all the way from second place to fifth in the league stand ings. This leaves Ayden and Beaufort as the only two conference teams who don’t show a loss on their rec ord. Ayden is currently in first place with a record of four straight wins. The Seadogs are holding down second place with their mark of one win and two tics. The LaGrange loss to Havelock considerably brightened the hopes of Beaufort to repeat as confer of fire, crossing log with loaded gun, unloading defective gun, vic tim out of sight of shooter, remov ing loaded weapoifTrom cal, cross ing Iglrtvith loaded’gun, richo chet,' trligBeri#aught on brush, vic tim mistaken for game, weapon falling from insecure rest, and horseplay. once champions. If the Seadogs win their remaining four games, which includes their Oct. 28 en counter with Ayden, they will fin ish the season in a tie with Ayden, provided that the Tornadoes finish with only one loss. In that event the Seadogs would be the team to represent the con ference in the state playoffs, as an amendment to the conference by laws provides that in the event two teams tie for the league title, the team that beat the other during the regular season will be the team that advances to the playoffs. Conference games on tap for to night find Beaufort at Contentnea, Vanceboro at LaGrange, and Farmville at Robersonville. Have lock and Ayden meet non-confer ence foes.

Eagles Roll On; Elks Blank Blue Devils 12-0 This week’s standings in the Morehead City Midget Football League find the undefeated Fry Eagles still in first place after win ning their fourth straight game Saturday, 7-0 over the Lion Cubs. The Jaycee Blue Devils, mean while, remained winless as they dropped a 12-0 decision to the Lit- j tie Elks. In the Eagles’ game, halfback Garland Thompson did the scor ing honors and Ronnie Mizesko was credited with the extra point. Ed die West played an outstanding de fensive game for the losing Cubs. The second game saw Allan Con ner and Bill Sample scoring touch downs to lead the Elks past the Blue Devils. Turning in outstand ing play for the Blue Devils were Baxter Brittinghani, Tom Dixon, and Tommy Morrow. This week the league will play a doubleheader under the lights at the high school field.

A local group caught 97,700 fire flies in a contest sponsored by a firm which uses them for research. Ray Boyd, 13, caught 13,750 “light ning bugs" by himself. Baltimore, with close to a million people, won the contest with 205,000. Rally by Monarchs Not Enough to Stop New Bern The W. 8. King Mooarfhs staged a last halt rally Friday night that almost saw them come from be hind and catch J. T. Barber high school of New Bern. The rally fell one touchdown short, however, as the Monarchs were edged 18-12 after trailing 12-0 at halftime. Larry Tootle started the rally in the third quarter when he recov ered a New Bern fumble in New Bern territory. Seconds later the Monarchs had their first touch down as quarterback Billy Ray Hester sneaked over from one yard out. Hester also scored the other Monarch touchdown in the fourth quarter when he intercepted a New Bern aerial and scampered 60 yards to paydirt. Monarch coach, John Thompson, said after the game, “1 thought our boys played a real good ball game. We were outweighed con siderably in the line but we held our own.” Thompson termed Larry Tootle, Robert Hodge, Billy Ray Hester. Hubert Lewis, Owen White and Winfred Quick as the outstanding defensive players in the game. Two Monarchs, Chauncer Fuller and William Hester received in juries. Fuller sprained his right shoulder and Hester got a sprained ankle. The Monarchs travel to Farm ville today for a game against Farmville high school at 1 p.m. One of the food specialties of Antwerp, Belgium, is ‘water-zooie de poulet” or chicken stew. ► ■ -- Board Extends Cattle Deadline County commissioners, in session | Monday afternoon at the court house, extended for thirty days the deadline for having all cattle off Shackleford banks. The extension was granted at the request of sheriff Hugh Salter, who said that the pen erected for the cattle on the banks had been destroyed in the recent hurricane. Two letters from John Lashley, Morehead City town clerk, were discussed. In one letter Mr. Lash ley asked that the county employ a county building inspector and a fire marshal. The letter was re-j ferred to the county planning com-1 mission. The other letter requested that tax books for Morehead City be separate from the Morehead town ship books. The commissioners commented that the separation was not the county's responsibility and that it would require more expense and labor. They also said they felt it was better to keep the list ings by townships. However, the board agreed that a Morehead City representative may sit with the list taker in Jan uary and compile a separate list for the town, if they desire.

Both the Bulldogs and the Eagles have one conference win apiece and need two more to sew up the championship. Jones Central and Pamlico, the other two conference members, each have a record of one loss in league play. Pamlico was defeated 60-0 by Wallace in the early part of the season. Last year Jones Central was the team that kept the Eagles from finishing as co-champions with Wallace as they upset Morehead 25-13. The Eagles later tied Wal lace and had they beaten Jones Central would have shared the con ference title. In their remaining games the EaKles aren't expected to be given too much trouble by Pamlico and Wallace should handle Jones Cen tral, so it’s possible that the con ference championship will be at stake when the two teams meet next Friday in Wallace. As of today the conference stand ings are as follows: Team W L T Morehead City 10 0 Wallace 10 0 Jones Central 0 10 Pamlico 0 10 The large, freely rotating eyes of the dragonfly allow the insect to look in all directions, even back ward.
