The Editor w
Dear Editors
I know of no better place to air my point of view than
your paper. Hopefully, unlike most of our local business -
med and politicians you do not have your head buried in
the sand when it comes to hiring or helping the handicapped.
I've often wondered how people forget so easily. It sears
that before an election all these nice people in Yancey
County know my family and me; at least they always have
a smile and a handshake for us. But as soon as we help put
them where they wanted, they forget who we are. Ask
them to help in some small way, like giving, or helping
get a handicapped person; a job, and there's just no way
they can help.
People seem totally unaware of how a handicapped per
son must struggle even to get through school, ft takes a
healthy person only 12 years to complete high school,but it
takes a handicapped person much longer because of a wheel
chair or crutches. Almost everyone will pat the handicap -
ped person on the back and tell him how much he is admir
ed for his struggle, but what a handicapped man or woman
really wants and needs is a chance to prove that crippled
bodies do not interfere with a healthy, eager mind.
Yancey County is a fine.place to live. I was born and
raised here and I want to live here. But Yancey County has
no place for the handicapped. The attitude here is to push
them back, turn your head and pretend that they aren't
there. The handicapped person has the right to work and
Mve as a human being.
If I sound bitter it's because I am. Everyone is so coni -
cerned about the millions of dollars being spent to fight po
verty. While all this is right and good, I really think we
should bend a little farther to give jobs to the handicapped.
! I am sure this would help as it would take many handicapped
people who can't find jobs off the welfare rolls and pit them
where they want to be—earning their own living!
Sincerely,
Dennis R. Fortner

Wildlife Afield: Either Sex Deer Hunt
"If you don't care where you
are, you ain't lost," wrote
Southport's Robert Ruarkagxtd
many years ago in his delight
ful book, "The Old Man And
The Boy."
Os course, Bob Ruark never
took ei
ther-sex (Buck or Doe) 1 deer
» hunt, or he might have altered
that memorable quote to.,read,
"If you don't know where you
are, you might be in trouble. "
The fact is, modem hunters
and anglers can't always afford
Ruark's gentle logic because
the days when man could hunt
or fish anywhere he wanted to
wilsOut undue regard for game
laws is long past. Nor is that
necessarily a bad thing because
modem deer hunting regiila -
tions and management practi
ces have given North Carolina
hunters more deer in the state
than at any previous time in
history, despite expanding ci
vilization.
There are so many deer in
some parts of the state that
they are damaging farmer's
crops. Furthermore, these deer
populations often become too
extensive for the areas to sup
port. The results are smaller
deer, sparce food supplies and
disease that sometimes sweeps
through areas where deer popu
lations are .allowed to get too
high.
Last fall, a respiratory virus
hit several areas—mostly to
the Piedmont —where deer pop
ulations had become too high
and thinned them considerably,
ft's nature's way of keeping
things under control.
By setting either-sex deer
seasons in areas where d e e r
populations are too high, the
NC Wildlife Resources Com
mission can help prevent the
problems that arise when deer
overpopolate an area. And, at
the same time, either-sex cfeer
seasons give hunters a chance
to kill deer that nature would
surely thin through starvation
or disease.
This year, there are 19 coun
ties in the state where either
sex deer seasons have been es
tablished by the Wildlife Com
mission following close study

and public hearings—which
brings us back to that earlier
quote, "If you don't know where
you are, you might be in trou
ble. "
These 19 areas where antler
less deer—as well as bucks
can be killed are scattered
across the state with most of
them in the east. Some cf them
have fairly simple boundaries,
and some are county-wide. But
others have rather complex
boundaries based on secondary
roads, rivers and even logging
roads.
They are marked, but it's
conceivable that a hunter could
wind up in the wrong area, and
be hunting illegally. It's hap
pened before.
Knowing this, the Wildlife
Commission is making a con -
certed effort to get complete
boundary descriptions of these
either-sex deer areas into the
hands of hunters prior to the
opening of the seasons. In the
past, these boundaries have
been published in newspaper,
not always with complete suc
cess.
Here's how it's being done
this year. A copy of the dates
and complete boundary descrip
tions for each either-sex deer
season has been sent to ' the
some 2,500 hunting and fishing
license agents and wildlife co
operator agents across the state
and this information will be
posted so that deer hunters can

narrative of the life of Jonathon
Livingston Seagull, current best
seller, by Richard Bach. The
author, an aviator of vast ex
and ministry. Mr. Boone is
accompanied by his wife, Jo
celyn, daughter Leslie and son
Jimmy.
Mr. Boone graduated from
Georgia Tech, and is licensed

was trained as an arborist in
Georgia and operated the Dan
Boone Estate Service.
Mrs. Boone graduated from
Endicott Jr. College and also
studied at Columbia Bible Col

go by and look it over carefully.
Also, every antlerless deer
killed on these either-sex areas
must be taken to the nearest of
several special wildlife coop>er
ator agent check stations. There
the kill will be tagged and the
hunter asked to fill out a brief
form giving information on
such matters as where the deer
was killed, its sex and approxi
mate size. This information
will be studied to help provide
better deer hunting fa the future.
The special wildlife coop>er
ator agent check stations desig
nated for each of these either
sex hunts is also part of the in
formation which will be posted
by license agents and wildlife
cooperator agents. When you
go to look up the hunt dates
and boundaries for the area you
plan to hunt, be sure to look
at the list of approved check,
stations, ft could save you
some time and trouble later.
Finally, hunters who would
like to have their own personal
copy free of this detailed list
of dates, boundaries and spe
cial check stations can get one
by writing The Education Divi
sion, N. C. Wildlife Resources
Commission, 325 N. Salisbury
St., Raleigh, N.C. 27611.
But hurry! Remember, if
you're a bow hunter, the arch
ery season on these either - sex
deer areas opened in the eastern
par t of the state on September

season opens October 20.
perience, uses his knowledge
of aeronautics to tell a tender
tale of compassion among the
seagulls. ' , ‘
We identify at once with
Jonathan as he struggles to be
differ from the flock. We
applaud each time he chalks
up a new success. We mourn
at his failure to convince the
other seagulls of what they are
missing. And we are ecstatic
with joy when a few venture,
at great risk, to be his follow
ers. Also, we are fearful of
the price we know he will pay
/vhen he returns to earth to try
to s*ve the other seagulls from
a life of imperfection and de -
vastating normalcy.
Perfection, then, is the goal
for all concerned. Higher and
greater levels of perfection
always climbing, soaring,swirl
ing, pushing onward and upward
uritil a new level is found— a
new Heaven of perfection. And
what about the poor stubborn
earthlings? Alas! They will
never know the joys of heaven
ly perfection—each level pro
ducing a new degree of bliss.
Jonathon Livingston Seagull is a
story that teaches without preach
ing, leaving a glow in the heart
and a desire to make life count.
