SPEAKS TO NEW HANOVER
CHAPTER OF KZDLIFE Fedora TON

Ross Stephens, executive secre-
tary of the North Carolina Wild
life Federation spoke at a meet
ing of the New Hanover Chapter
of the Federation at the courthouse.
last night.
Stephens was introduced by
Roger Hewlett, president of the
local chapter.
The executive secretary pointed
out that 103 clubs in So North Caro-
lima counties have a total mem
bership of over 5000 hunters and
fishermen.
The purpose of the organization,
Stephens said is to protect the
game in this state and he went
on to say that North Carolina
was one Of the last states to
organize.
Stephens criticized the political
appointment aspect of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment.
He pointed out that approximate
ly half million dollars is turned in
annually to the department for
hunting and fishing licenses. 1.-THE
people pay the bills and should
have something to say about where
the money is spent" he told his
audience.
The members of the game and
fisheries change every four years
with the administration, he said
and therefore are unable to sue
cessfully set up a program to bene-
fit the hunters and fishermen.
"The average person has neither
the time nor resources necessary
to find out the cause Of the depict
ion of wild game and wildlife in
North Carolina and something
should be done Immediately to
preserve our game" re remarked.
Speaking about the proposed
bill to be introduced in the next
general legislature Stephens said
there was an impression that it
would levy an additional tax
burden. The figures show that
adoption of the bill will not in
crease the taxes, he stated.
He said $244, 900 was left over
last year from funds derived from
the sale of hunting and fishing
licenses. There is no guessing
about the success of the proposed
bill, no state has developed a NC
cessful conservation program with
out employing the principals en-
bodied in this bill" he continued.
Seventy-two out of 12O members
of the general assembly have ex-
pressed approval of the bill and e
out of so state senators have en-
dorsed the proposal, Stephens said
After the completion of his
speech the meeting was opened te
questions from the floor.
Roger Hewlett appointed a com
mittee to raise funds for future
advertising of the local chapter.

Fuson alternated last week at his

Tied With Three Clubs
By HARRISS

The Washington Catlett Chester
fields bowed down to their first
defeat Of the Number Two Grade

terday under the offensive on
slaught Of The Bradley Creek
Clamdiggers, 1876, in a battle that
surged from n end of the 100 yard

tenth and Ann street gridiron. At
the same time the Wrightsboro
Ramblers chalked up the loops
highest score by trouncing the fav-
ored Forest Hills Bulldogs, $50.
The Catlett loss virtually threw
monkey wrench into the confer
ence standings, knotting the lead
in a three-way tie between the Cat
let's, Bradley Creek, and Carolina
Beach.
The Clamdiggers scored first in
the initial period when Boyd But

the final stanza when the 'Diggers'
Morris Butler bounced on a Catlett
tumble on the Catlett thirty-five;
Butler striking pay-di1t several

from the five yard stripe.
The lone Catlett tally resulted
several minutes later when Bobby
Gay, Catlett fullback, ran the touch
down kickoff back As yards to the
Bradley Creek Is. A long pass from
Ronald Hobbs to Charles Bridges
clicked for the score. The Chester
Fields threatened once early in the
second period when they moved the
ball up to the 'Diggers' 4 yard line.
However the Bradley Creek line
held and the Catlett lads relinquish-

believe the Cats Will hold their
record intact, when the two con-
ference j~uggernauts square off at
Legion Stadium tonight.
Pointing out the reasons, the
fans are backing the Wildcats to
win tonight are, First-The Quakes
were completely outclassed by the
Raleigh Caps, $50, last week, and
every local citizen remembers
how the MINIS chased the Raleigh
Caps all over Legion Field, only
to lose a heartbreaking II to 8
decision. Second-The locals have
been constantly improving since
their opening contest. The pass
ing attack is superb, the ends are
getting away faster and the line
is holding better. The local line
is rated one of the best in the
state on blocking and defensive
play.
Wilmington's Skipper Brogden
does not share this enthusiastic
confidence, however. The veteran
mentor points out that the Colds
boro line will be as large as New
Hanover's. He warns fans about
