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,

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
