New Hunting
Regulations
Announced
RALEIGH, N.C.--The North
Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission today announced
proposed changes in state
hunting regulations for the
1967-68 hunting season. The
proposals, which are subject
to revision after a series of
public hearings, will be con
sidered for final adoption at
the next regular Commission
meeting on June 13.
One oi the regulation
changes proposed at today's
meeting would separate the
deer hunting season in western
North Carolina from thebear,
boar and raccoon hunting sea
sons. In the western counties,
where the hunting of deer by
dogs is prohibited, the pro
posal would close the bear,
boar and raccoon seasons
from November 27 until Dec
ember 9, inclusive, during
the period when open seasons
on deer are in progress.
Another Commission pro
posal would establish a state
wide bag limit for bear of one
dally, two in possession and
two for the season. This bag
limit, which is now in effect
in the western part of the
state, would be extended to
cover hunting in the east in an
effort to conserve dwindling
populations of black bear in

Don't Forget To Change
Your Clock Saturday Night!
North Carolinians will act
in unison with most of the na
tion when they move their
clocks ahead one hour on Sat
urday night. Daylight Saving
Time becomes effective at
2 a.m. Sunday.
The change Saturday night
will mean a one-hour loss of
sleep which will be gained in
the fall when die state will
revert to Standard Time and
the clocks are turned back
one hour.
Neighboring Georgia and
Tennessee will also observe
Daylight Saving Time this
summer.
The change has been talked
about for several years, but
the General Assembly has
always defeated efforts to
go on Daylight Time.
This year, however, the
Uniform Time Act was passed
by Congress and all states
are required to observe the
"fast" time except those
which specifically exempt
themsevles. An exemption
move was made in the General
Assembly several weeks ago,
but it was rejected.
The change will bring
sunrise one hour later and
sunset one hour later than if
Standard Timewasobserved.
The purpose is to provide an
extra hour of daylight at the
end of the day when it is bel
ieved it will be more useful
to most people.
