The Penny Hunters May Bag
Shortage ttvt
People Bank and Trust
Company announced
plans to begin a campaign to
get the penny back in cir
culation. The campaign will
run through the month of
June.
In discussing the project,
Executive Vice-President,
Robert R. Mauldin said, "To
encourage the return of
pennies to our bank, we will
pay our customers $1.10 for
each 100 pennies we receive.
In addition to the cash
payment, we will issue a
Treasury Department
certificate of recognition to
any individual or group who
cashes in $25 worth of
pennies at our bank."
Mauldin further stated,
"For the individual or group
who returns $100 or more to
one of our offices, we will
offer a choice of the cash
payment or an attractively
framed and mounted
collection of each Lincoln
cent minted since 1959.
These items will be
available as long as the
supply lasts."
' . Mauldin said, "We are
making an effort to en
courage people to take
pennies out of their dressers
drawers, shoe boxes, pickle
jars, and other places where
they are unwanted, unused,
and unappreciated. Due to
the price of copper
retreating, there will be no
aluminum penny and due to
the 62 billion pennies
produced during the past 15
years, they have no
collectors value. I must
admit that a shortage in the
supply of pennies has been
caused bv hoarding. This
shortage can adversely
affect public spirited citizen
and is inflationary should
merchants be forced to
' round off sales to the next
nickel due to lack of pennies
to make change."
It is estimated that over 30
billion pennies are in cir
culation and approximately
the same number are in
hiding. This year alone the
Mint expects to use' 33,000
tons of copper in cent
productions making about
35 million pennies each
working day.
If just 15 billion pennies
could be lured out of hiding,
the Mint, at current
production figures, wouldn't
, have to make pennies for
almost two years and it
would represent a saving of
$150 million:
BUS RIDES
' Approximately 67 per
cent of the public school
population in North Carolina
ride school buses each day.
The State education agency
notes that there are
currently 7,500 yellow buses
and 3,300 orange buses
carrying children to school's
across the State.
Director of Transportation
D.J."Dark says, the color
conversion is part of a
national safety program
requiring all school buses to
be a uniform color so that
drivers of other vehicles can
easily identify school buses,

Deer hunters in the
eastern part of North
Carolina will be able to
shoot three deer during the
upcoming 1974-75 hunting
season, in increase of one
over the previous season
bag limit.
This was one of several
changes in the hunting
regulations adopted by the
N.C, Wildlife Resources
Commission at its regular
monthly meeting here,
Monday , May 20. The new
regulations were adopted
following a series of nine
public hearings held across
the state during
April.
"Several of the proposals
were changed as a result of
information gained at the
public hearings," said
Frank Barick, chief of , the
Division of Game for the N.
C. Wildlife Resources
Commission. "For example,
changes were made in the
deer regulations, par
ticularly concerning bow
hunting and a proposed gun
season in Johnston County.
"The hearings furnish us
an opportunity to learn what
our hunters want, and we
are always glad to be able to
meet their wishes whenever
it is possible and still
maintain a rich, natural
heritage of wildlife."
Four changes were
adopted in the statewide
deer hunting regulations.
The season bag limit on
whitetail deer was in
creased to three in the
eastern part of the state
where there is an October 14
- January 1 season.
Also, the one week season
in the northwestern part of
the state was extended to
include that part of Guilford
County north of 185 east of
Greensboro and north of 1-40
west of Greensboro. In
Orange and Alamance
counties, the area open to
deer hunting has been ex
tended south to 1-85. The use
of dogs for hunting deer
would now be allowed in that
part of Anson County east of
N.C. 742. Also, Alexander
County will be closed to deer .
hunting for the coming
season.
"Because hunters were
generally opposed the
commission did not adopt an
open season on deer in
Johnston and northern
Sampson counties," pointed
out Barick. "The bow
season was also moved back
two weeks in certain areas
at the request of archers."
The bow season for deer
will be October 18 through
November 16 in those parts
of the state where the gun'
season are November. 25 V
December 21 lUwharrie
section), November 25
January 1 (Bufner section!
and November 25 - 30 in the
northwestern section of the
state.
"Other deer seasons
remain generally 1 un
changed from last year, and
hunters should check their
1974
1
new regulation booklets
which will be available soon
to get the exact dates," said
Barick.
The Wildlife Commission
also adopted the either-sex
deer seasons for the 1974-75
season. Exact boundaries
will appear in the new
regulation booklet.
The either-sex seasons
will be:
October 21-23 on the
Pungo National Waterfowl
Refuge in Washington and
Hyde counties.
November 25-30 in all of
Perquimans County and in
parts of Camden, Chowan,
Currituck and Hyde
counties.

FIRE AT OIL COMPANY
SEED ROOM SUNDAY:
Fire, of possibly incendiary
origin, caused a damage of
from $75. to a $100 dollars in
the seed house of the
Southern CottonujOil Com
pany's plant on Sunday
night. That the loss was no
greater is attributed to the
fact that the fire was
discovered before it had
gained much headway. The
automatic sprinkler, which
is a part of the fire
protection equipment of the
plant, kept the fire under
control until the local fire
department arrived.
