named chairman of the legis-
lattve committee OF the New
Hanover chapter Of the North
Carolina Wildlife federation at
q meeting Of the local organ
zation, it was announced yes
terday.
Other members of the COM
mittee, which will work with

lative committee in it's pro-
gram of separation Of the game
and fisheries division from
the state department of con-
servation are DR.. A. III. Elliott.
Adolph Solomon, e. e. Bond,
and T. d. Skies.
The local group member
ship reached 100 this week as
a returned CT, John Baston Jr.
brought membership in the
New Hanover chapter into the
three figure zone.
Growth of the New Han
over county sportsmen's Or.
ganization has been rapid and
in its short history of almost
two months the New Hanover
county branch has become one
of the strongest outdoor sport
organization in this part of the
state.
In addition to the selection of
the local legislative committee
motion pictures were shown
at the meeting, held at Blue
Top lodge. The pictures, on
hunting and fishing topics, are
a regular feature of meetings
Of the New Hanover group.
In connection with the local
ommittee's program for 1916,
President P. K. Gravely Of the
tate federation said yesterday in
saleigh that the organization is
lot concerned with personalities

Of conservation ano
development, in the federation
light for separation.
"Gravely's S at e m e MT was
prompted by persistent rurnors
a some sections, particularly the
part Of the, state,
hat a main purpose of the fedora
ion is to have r. Bruce Etherftev
usted as director Of conservation
nd development.
Nothing is more Incorrect as.
erted President Gravely. "Actu-
lily the wildlife federation has ne
interest in the directors job ane
$ willing to let him keep the job
orever. What the federation aims
o do is to remove the game ano
ish program from the conserva
ion department and set it up a:
| new department so that hunter!

Ised more effectively for restor.
ng game and fish"
In this connection Grave1y point
d out that separation of the di-
,ision of game and inland fisher
es from c. and D. would still
cave six divisions under super
,ision Of the department of which
1theridge is director. These divi
ions are commerce and industry
water resources, minerals, com
fishing, forestry and state
advertising.

With Etheridge or anyone else

the game and fish program can
lot be successful so long as il

etup. One reason is that too many
lctivities are already in the c.
