Sandlin New Wildlife Chairman in North Carolina 1975
Roscoe D. Sandlin of Jacksonville was elected chairman of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for 1975 at a regular meeting. W. K. Anderson of Newland preceded him as chair. Jay Waggoner was named vice chairman and Roy A. Honeycutt became secretary. The panel approved Fontana Lake and Pasquotank River boating access areas, with Fontana adding two sites including Cable Cove. The Pasquotank River site replaces an old one at Elizabeth City due to maintenance costs. Public hearings on deer restoration in New Hope, Chatham County, were scheduled for January 23 at Pittsboro Courthouse.

A Stan Davies column urges learners to study basic seamanship, piloting, navigation, and engine maintenance during slow winter months. It argues reading plus practical practice accelerates skill, notes that experienced boaters tend to be safer, and covers common questions about outboard versus inboard handling, right of way rules, and stern height standards.
