Wildlife Resources Commission in Raleigh last week. Under the new regulations
either sex deer hunting will be permitted from Dec. 1
through Jan. 2 (two antlerless limit) in all of Hyde (except Pungo), Gates, Halifax, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, and Warren Counties. Also the same season and
limit would apply to Bertie County, west and south of U. S. 13-U. S. 17; Camden
County, north of U. S. 158; Carteret County, that portion known and posted as
Open Ground Farm (off SR 1300) in Merrimon and Stacy townships; Nash County north of NC 58, SR 1425, NC 43 and SR 1524; Chowan
County, east of NC 32 North of Edenton and South of U. S. 17; Currituck County; Knotts Island and in an area bounded by NC 168, SR 1147, US 158 and NC 34;
Edgecombe County, north of US 64; and Hertford
County, west of US 13. The Wildlife Commission
also voted to allow bow and arrow hunters to harvest either sex deer statewide
(except where prohibited by local law) during the bow and arrow season. The regulations also
require that the big game kill tag be placed on the kill at the time of initial
possession and remain on
the carcass until a kill
report is rendered and until the carcass is finally stinnjut. or dressed for
consumption. "Several of our proposed
changes which were
presented at public hearings across the state in April have been altered as a
result of input from sportsmen at these hearings," said a Commission spokesman. "For example the bear season in the western
part of the state was
lengthened; and because of numerous requests from both hunters and trappers, we have provided additional protection for the raccoon."
In other changes the trapping season for
raccoons and opossums will be shortened two weeks in the east with the seasons ending Feb. 14. Two changes were adopted in the wild turkey season.
The season was lengthened by one week on the Camp Lejeune Military Base to
establish an April 8 through May 6 season, and the wild turkey season will be closed in Harnett, Hoke, Cumberland, Sampson, Scotland, Roberson, Bladen, and Columbus Counties.

Services Scheduled
For Memorial Day Memorial Day services
will be conducted Sunday, May 29, at 2 p. m. in the Courtroom of the Warren
County Courthouse, Adjutant Russell Currin announced this week.
The Rev. Dennis Levin, pastor, Warren Methodist
charge will be the speaker for the occasion. At the conclusion of the service
Legionnaires will disperse to some 50 cemeteries to
decorate graves of veterans interred in Warren County.
The annual Memorial Day observance has been a part of the American scene for more than 100 years,
Adjutant Currin stated. Since 1868 when the order was first issued for such an observance "to respect comrades who died in
defense of their country" graves of comrades-in-arms
have been decorated.
Although it began as an
occasion to commemorate the dead of all wars, Memorial Day has since become a time for the decoration of graves of
family and friends. Adjutant Currin, on behalf
of all Warren County Legionnaires and members of Unit 25 of the Auxiliary extends a special invitation to all Gold Star Mothers. All Gold Star Mothers unable to attend will be remembered in prayers, Currin said. He requests also that in
addition to the invitation to the Memorial Day Service in the courthouse that each and every household and business in Warren County will display the Flag of the United States in the
appropriate manner in proud tribute to the meaning of the day.

Line Prospects Good, Federal Offical Says A federal official in ti
Atlanta is quoted as saying s
that Warren County's application for more than $900,- F 000 for construction of a f
water line from Soul City to a
Warrenton will be a strong e
contender during the next r
round of Local Public Works ii
(LPW) funding. t
e
Approved early this year, y Warren's application was ^ subsequently denied by t federal officials who cited a number of reasons for the j proposal's rejection. This
s
brought a wave of protest j from local government { leaders, and inquiries were c directed to the Economic
Development Administra- I
tion by members of the
state's congressional dele- _
gation. Charles E. Oxley, director
of EPA's regional office in .
Atlanta, was one of those I contacted, and in a letter to Second District
Congressman L. H. Fountain, he s
indicated that Warren's
proposal now stands in line j with his agency's guide- ,
lines.
The full text of his letter to '
the congressman reads as j follows: .
"Dear Congressman ( Fountain:
"This is in response to 1
your letter of May 2, regarding the Warren County application (Locator No. NC-0197-0) for funding under the Local Public Works
Capital Development and Investment Act of 1976. "In a letter dated April 8,
Mr. Hayes requested a
review of the deficiencies which caused the Warren
County application to be denied during the first round of LPW. In our letter of
April 20, we reiterated the four deficiencies in the
application that had to be corrected to EDA's satisfaction in order for the project
) be in contention (or the 1
econd round of LPW. "On May 6, we received a ackage of information
om Mr. Hayes which
ddresses these four defici- :
ncies. Our preliminary i
eview of this information <
idicates that it resolves
iree of the previous nvironmental problems as ou indicated. The zoning eficiency appears to be on le way to correction by the roposed mid-summer of
977 adoption of the necesary zoning ordinance. This > a reasonable time frame or this action and the
ounty shows "goodfaith" in

Warren Will Get
Walkie-Talkies
The Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments'
Criminal Justice Division
has been notified of an
LEAA grant in the amount of $35,820 to be used by the law enforcement agencies in Region K for the purchase of communications equipment.
Sheriff Clarence Davis of Warren County said that
Warren County would obtain five walkie-talkies for the
use of his department. The equipment will cost approximately $6000.
Bill Bryan, COG Criminal Justice Planner, states that the funds will provide a
much improved and more efficient law enforcement communications system.

iffering to preclude hookips t« the waterline pending he final completion of this :oning. Hence, should this
>roject be selected when the iecond round of LPW EDA :ould include such a Special Condition to the Grant Offer.
"By accepting these assurances EDA is able to
emove the previous environmental denial and
nake this project eligible or consideration under the iecond round of LPW. This >ffice will provide Warren bounty with the necessary nstructions and forms for esubmission at such time is they are finalized.
"It is reasonable to
assume that this project will be a strong contender for
funding during the coming round of LPW, and you can be assured that it will be
given every consideration under the terms of the new
legislation. "Hopefully, the above is
helpful to you in understanding EDA's action in implementation of this program. "If we can be of further
assistance please call on us. "Sincerely,
"Charles E. Oxley Director, Southeastern Region."

Four Hurt In Wrecks
On Warren Highways Four persons were injured
—none seriously—in two
separate traffic accidents
reported this week to the State Highway Patrol. Rain was blamed for a
Wednesday morning accident in which two cars
collided on Highway 1001 four miles west of Warrenton as they stopped for a
school bus.
Trooper A. M. Bennett
reported that the driver of one vehicle, Mrs. Hilda May Terry, 40, of Rt. 2, Macon, and her five-year-old daughter, Avery Gina, were taken to Henderson's Maria Parham Hospital by a passing motorist after they complained of pain. He said they had no visible sign of injury. The trooper reported that
Mrs. Terry had slowed down
for a school bus stopping in a curve, and that she was struck in the rear by a car driven by James L.
Burchett, 70, of Enfield.
Burchett's car apparently skidded on the wet
pavement as he attempted to
stop. Damages to the two
vehicles totalled (1,000. No
charges were made.
Bennett said a search for a driver who caused a wreck
Sunday night at the entrance to Kimball Point Park had failed to produce the motorist.
A Norlina woman and her mother were injured in the Sunday night accident, taken to Warren General
Hospital and later released. Bennett said the two —
Peggy Neal Medlin, 33 and her mother, Maude Wiggins —were hurt when their car overturned attempting to
avoid a motorist pulling a boat behind his car. Bennett said the boat owner attempted to pass in a no passing zone and Mrs. Medlin ran off the road to avoid a collision.
A fire hydrant was
destroyed in Warrenton
early Sunday when a car
driven by Alexander L.
Wright of Rt. 1, Warrenton slammed into the hydrant on Front Street. Warrenton Police Chief
Freddie Robinson said
Wright was charged with a safe moving violation after striking the hydrant and
