tions and made requests to the
FSCC for allotments to be used by
local growers in removing their ap-
pies. J. Stanford Larson, Wood
bury, n. j., Purchasing Agent for
the FSCC was in charge Of pur-
chases made in. Delaware, while
the Federal inspectors in charge of
examining the apples offered to the
FSCC were S. A. Fuller and S. A.
Robertson. Alexander Atzert act
ed as Larson's representative in the
purchase program. According to
]. L. Soper, Chief of the Delaware
State ureau of Markets, and mem
ber Of the Apple Purchase Commit
tee, the committee divided the pur-
chases among the growers SO all
who desired could take advantage
Of the opportunity to remove the
surplus. The state committee,
whose members are: A. ID. Cobb,
Assistant Director Of Extension at
the University Of Delaware; War
ren G. Newton, Bridgeville; A.
Bailey Thomas, Wyoming; Arthur
Walker, Woodside; L. G. Knapp,
Nassau; E. L. Kratz, Greenwood;
and Mr.. Soper, reported that no
more purchases were being con-
templated until after December i,
when the committee will be able to
determine the market situation in
the United States. This decision
was made because many of the ap-
Piles which might be available for
purchase by the FSCC were now in
storage and the growers had ex-
pressed a desire to avoid the loss
for storage fees by marketing
through the regular channels if
possible. Mr.. Soper said, Della
ware growers this year again were
faced with the problem of selling a
larger than usual crop in a season
when the apple crop throughout
the United States was larger than
average. These factors caused
market glut with accompanying
low prices. The FSCC purchase
plan has enabled many of our
growers to sell some of their sur
plus which otherwise might have
been total loss to them"

boiling water afterwards rinse thor

Game Protector
Takes to Bushes
To Get Violators
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, June 3.-Determined and
willy people these game protectors.
Three men in Richmond county
have been arrested, convicted and
fined because Protector Walter Bray
just made up his mind he'd get them.
Reports kept reaching the pro-
tector that illegal fishing with gill
nets and wire fish traps was going
on in Robert Dell Pond. The pro-
tector made several normal and or
binary early morning efforts to catch
the culprits in the act, but it was
case of no soap each time.
Bray noticed that every time he'd
approach there would be a shriil
whistle and when he got to the
waters edge there wouldn't be a soul
in sight.
So he went out one night while it
was yet pitch black, found himself
a nice hiding place in the under
brush near the place where the nets
and traps were located and Just stay
ed there until daybreak.
''Just as it started to get light, the
three men showed up, got in their
boat and went out to the nets and
traps" reported District Game Pro-
tector Tom Carter of Rockingham
to the Department of Observation and
Development after they had taken
out some of the fish, Bray walked
down to the edge of the pond and
ordered them to come ashore and
surrender. He also ordered them to
bring the nets and traps in.''
The convicted men were John
Spivey, J. F. Spivey and Clyde Terry
all of Richmond county.
After the trial Protector Bray
learned that his inability to sneak
up on the men in daylight was due
to the fact that they habitually post
ed a small boy in tree nearby as
lookout When the boy would see
any one approaching he would emit
a shrill whistle.
Illegal fishing for warm water
game fish in rivers and ponds with
nets and traps is rapidly being broken
up by the county game protectors
who are making it hotter and hotter
for violators, Commissioner John ..
Chalk of the game and inland fish
ing division says.

som. The visitors carry their own

Charlotte. June 3.-Governor
Clvde r.. Hoey has entered the
St1te of North Carolina in the Ma

toet sponsored by the American
Automobile Association, which will
make annual awards for the deve-
lnnment of the most effective means
NJ protecting and assuring greater
convenience for millions in the daily
march along the State highways
and city streets
Official entry from the Governor
has been received by A. M. Higgins
safety director of the Carolina Motor
club, AAA affiliate in the Caro-
linas. and forwarded to national
HEADQUARTERS in Washington.
In addition to awards to states
that reduce pedestrian accidents and
pu, into effect programs for meet
ING one of the nations most serious
traffic problems, separate awards
viii be made to cities and schools.
Already a number of North Caro-
lima cities have entered the contest,
including Greensboro, Raleigh and
Durham. Mr. Higgins expects the
majority of the cities and towns of
the Carolinas to participate and is
confident that he will have 100 per
cent cooperation from the safety
school patrols in the two states.
Governor Hoey has designated
Ronald Hocutt, state director of
safety. to act for him in formulat-
ng a program and reporting results
to the contest board.
Pedestrian protection is the most
neglected phase of the traffic accI-
dent problem" Coleman w. Roberts,
president Of the Carolina Motor
club states, land l feel sure that
the nationwide contest will bring
this serious condition to the atten-
ton of millions of people.
accidents to pedestrians have
proved hard to control but there is
convincing evidence that the PROB
lem responds to vigorous and nj
teligent treatment. Sensible defi-
nitions of the rights and response
biites of all street and highway
users need be developed, accepted
by the public and Incorporated in
to law
IN recent years great improve
mcnt has been shown in the two
CarolinaS and we believe that with
the cooperation of state, city and
school officials in the contest more
progress towards the elimination of
pedestrian accidents will be made"
