g profession, he said and added
that he considered it a great pri-
/ vilege to serve the farmers Of this
state. He reviewed briefly the in
, dustrial progress of the state as
we'll as that of education and re-
lated what the state is now do
ing to take care of all of it's
needy citizens in the various in

in his honor, at the West Jeffer-
son Hotel, after which the group,
led by the band drove to the
school grounds of the West JEFF

speakers stand had been. erected.
Throughout the entire day,
thousands of people crowded the
streets here, and hundreds were
in line to shake hands with the
Governor as, he passed them. Con-
gresham Doughton said he had
never witnessed such large and
interested gathering in this Sec
ton of North Carolina. J: J. Tho
mas, 93-year-old Ashe county
banker who was among those
who sat on the speakers stand,
said that the occasion surpassed
any he had ever attended in this
section, for size and enthusiasm.
In addition to the large number
of Ashe county citizens present,
there were many from the sur
rounding counties as we'll as more
distant points. Many old timers
Of this section remarked that this
was the first Governor Of North
Carolina they had an opportuni-

Hunters Warned

A S REGULAR as the seasons is
4 \ the warning to sportsmen that
duck hunting will soon be thing of
the past unless effective restoration
methods are applied.
And for the most part those warn
ings are just as regularly ignored.
Now comes word from officials of
Ducks, Unlimited, that unless RENE
dial measures are taken during the
next FIVE years there will be no
duck hunting 20 years hence, and
it will never come back. This prOph-
ecy was made only after an in
tensive survey of Canadian breed
ing grounds.
Surface water in the breeding
areas has been reduced alarmingly
through low precipitation and con-
tinued high temperatures. Rain falls
in Alberta and Saskatchewan have
alleviated conditions in southern
breeding grounds to some extent,
but the northern part, or mo mans
land" is in critical condition.
