transfer down to Big Kinnakeet
Station where he stayed nine
months. He did a hitch on the
lightship anchored off Diamond

clared, she was taken off station
and brought ashore. Finally, after
lot of Harbor patrol duty, while
attached to the Coast Guard Air

Hunters in Beaufort. Tyrrell.
Washington and Hyde

Hunters living in Washington,
Tyrrell, Beaufort and Hyde coun-
ties will be invited to hunt in the
old Roper lands purchased last
year by Dwight Corporation,
Charles Gleaves, president of
Dwight Corp, announces. Permits
free of charge will be issued to
area residents to hunt on Satur-
days and holidays throughout the
1855 season.
Leslie Clayton of Pioneer has
been given a lease on hunting
rights on Dwight Corp. lands in
Hyde County between the Pungo
River and New Lake Road. He
will issue permits for hunting in
this area. Willy Phelps of Roper
will issue permits for Dwight's
Washington County lands.
Permits are non-transferable,
and will be issued on condition
that the applicant agree to hunt
only on Saturdays and holidays.
1--WE want to give everyone in the
area a chance to enjoy the sport, !"
Gleaves said. However, we have a
lot of men in there working dur
ing the week, building roads, dig
ging bitches, clearing farmland
and putting up houses and barns.
Wen have to limit the hunting to
Saturdays and holidays to prevent
tragedies"
During rainy weather, gates will
be closed and hunters will not be
allowed to drive over the dirt roads
while they are wet.
Hunters are also expected to fol-
low Department of Conservation
practices regarding fire prevention
and wild life protection. Anyone
violating these conditions will lose
the privilege of hunting on Dwight
Corporation lands. 1--WE know we
can count on the sportsmen who
live in this area and understand
the problems to help us see tina
these regulations are enforced,
Gleaves said.
