Several hunting clubs in the Western part of the State have contacted Representa tive Deßruhl about the lack of deer in the mountains. Mtny of the hunters fee! that State Wildlife Officials do not know or are being misinformed as to the number of deer that are to be found in the game lands and forests of Western North Carolina. On a recent hunt to Halifax County a group of Transylvania County hunters, * six in number, bagged six deer. They said deer were I everywhere and they want to know why there are not more deer here in the mountains. Many hunters feel that cancelling altogether the doe hunts in the mountains would help the situation. Others feel that the forests should be closed to deer hunting altoge ther for a couple of years and that this would rebuild the herds. Others feel that the Wildlife protectors are not doing a satisfactory job and that all the deer have been killed out by poachers be cause there are no protectors in the woods to stop them.

Scott, former governor of North Carolina and federal cochairman of the Appalachian Regional Com mission, witnessed the sign ing of the Rural Health Clinic Services bill by President Carter in the Oval Office of the White House on Decem ber 13, 1977. This legislation permits Medicare and Medicaid funds to be given to rural health clinics for the employment of nurses, medical assistants and other health extenders. The use of such personnel was developed for Appalachia to make medical services more widely available in remote and sparsely populated areas. On signing the bill the President said: “At its best, the American health care system is unsurpassed, bps |ts uneven distribution leaves millions of our people without access to adequate care. This problem affects both urban and rural areas but is more widespread in the latter; two-thirds of the people in areas without adequate health care live in rural America.” “One of the most sensible and efficient ways to cope with this problem is to enable physician assistants and nurse practitioners to provide regular, high-quality care in small, convenient outpatient clinics. Through such pro grams as the National Health Service Corps and the Appa lachian Regional Commission, the Federal government has helped start and support these clinics and train the highly-skilled professionals who operate them. “But there has been a major obstacle to the healthy growth of these clinics in the areas that need them: that is the failure of public and private health insurance pro grams to support them. The legislation I am signing today will correct this defect in our public health insurance pro grams, by requiring that the Medicare and Medicaid pro grams pay for the services of physician assistants and nurse practitioners in clinics in rural areas without ade quate care.

The first rural primary care clinic was established in Goverfork, Kentucky in 1967. Since then the Appalachian Regional Commission has developed more than 300 such clinics, discovered the reimburse ment problem, and worked with other commissions and communities across the coun try to rectify the problem.
