The Fires Creek Refuge, only recent
ly established, is located in Clay cOun-
ty and contains $4,000 acres of land
and 20 miles of streams. The Nanta
hala Refuge, also in Clay county, con-
tains $4,000 acres and 55 miles of
fishing streams. The Wayah Bald Re-
fuge now contains $4,000 acres and
Sherwood Forest Refuge, $4,000 acres
and it is contemplated that the old
Daniel Boone Refuge will be extend
ed to cover $4,000 acres"
'"These areas are being operated
jointly by the Department of Conser-
walton and Development and the U.
S. Forest Service. The purpose of the
refugees is for them to serve as re-
servoirs to supply native wildlife to
rehabilitate depleted game areas, and
to aid in maintaining the supply OF
game in we'll stocked areas.
'Controlled fishing has been per
mitted through the present fishing
season, and has apparently worked to
the satisfaction of the department
and the U. S. Forest Service. 1t is ex
.pected that controlled hunting will be
permitted in the areas whenever the
supply of wildlife becomes sufficient
ly abundant to permit it, Commits

BOOTLEGGER SALES
Illegal Traffic Being Halt

Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter HOte


RALEIGH. July 22-Liquor distillers
and.the wholesalers who are still sell
ing TO bootleggers in North Carolina
are becoming considerably more wary
since the Federal government and the
State, liquor Control Board started
making it more difficult for them to
shin liquor into dry territory, it was
learned from an authoritative source
todav. Since a truck owned by
Hickory transfer company and loaded
with LIQUOR, evidently intended for
Hickory bootleggers, was seized IN
Virginia recently and both the liquor
and the truck confiscated, both the
distillers and the truckers are being
more careful, it was pointed out by
State liquor board officials here.
The only shipments of liquor which
can be- legally moved by truck in
North Carolina are those in interstate
commerce from a distiller or whole
saler in some other state to whoie4
saler or distributor in a wet state,
such as South Carolina, and must be
in transit across the State and not
billed to any point in the State, 1t was
pointed out by Chairman Guitar Moore
of the State Liquor Control Board.
Shipments of liquor to county liquor
stores within the State must be made
bv rail in carload lots direct to the
county liquor control boards or to the
two licensed warehouses, from which
it is distributed to the county stores
in special trucks operated by the
warehouse.
AS a result, any trucks hauling Ii
uuor in North Carolina that do not
have bills of lading showing them to
be in interstate commerce and that
their load is consigned to bona fide
liquor dealer in some other wet state,
is undoubtedly hauling liquor for dis
tribution-to bootleggers and in viola
ton of both the State and Federal
laws, Moore pointed out.
Until recently many truck concerns
or individual truck operators wouldF
take a chance and bring loads of
liquor into the State for delivery to
bootleggers, either with or without
fake invoices. But with Federal and
State officials checking up more and
more carefully on such shipments
truck drivers and operators are being
more cautious, Moore said.

Two Negroes Will

Commissioner Gill felt that there was
some doubt as to whether Grier real

the evidence of generalization was
rather limited.
The two Negroes who will be exc
cuted Friday as a result of Governor
Hoey's refusal to intervene, are Hun

ty, convicted of numbering his wife
and Fred Gray, 26, from Onslow coun-
ty, also convicted of numbering his
wife, whose name was Lettuce Gray.
Both had been separated from their
wives, sought them out and killed
them. Winchester took a taxi to the
place his wife was staying and shot
her to death with a revolver. Gray
saw his wife on bus, followed her
in truck for ten miles, borrowed a

to the place his wife was staying and

CAUSE AND TREATMENT OF
 WEAK ANKLES

Although statistics are not avail able, have the distinct impression that weak ankles (pronated feet) are less common among children from six to sixteen years old today than they were when I was an hon. est general practitioner-or as hon. est as one could be and live. In the days before nudity it was rare to see a group of school children among whom there were none with weak ankles. Today one often ob- serves groups of children all of whom have no apparent ankle weakness.
 There are two reasons tor this. First, children today are getting more or less physical education in school, too often they get it in spite of the complacency of short-sighted parents who permit children to evade physical training classes on one pretext or another. Second, children are getting more Snl1ght on naked skin, thanks to the in- creasing popularity or nudity or a minimum of clothing.
 Pronated feet, doctors call the condition more familiar to the laity as weak ankles. Formerly it was known as static valgus and weak feet. The shoes wear out on the inner edge, especially the inner edge of the heel. In walking the gait is heel gait, inelastic and clumsy. Children may not complain of pain, but adults generally have consider able pain or ache in the feet and legs and their feet tire when they have to stand much.
