The Izaak Walton League is op-
posed to the indiscriminate drainage
OF marsh lands, to unfair and I'M
sportsmanlike methods of shooting
and fishing, and it believes in and
actively promotes. game refugees and
public shooting grounds, enforcement
OF all game laws, and the practice of
craftsmanship and fairness in the
various sports and in camping or any
other use of the outdoor resources.
To attain these ends, the league is
hard at work the length and breadth
OF America, local chapters, state d.
visions, and the national body main
tain a constant activity in the COM
munities, the states, and the nation.
1t is especially pointed out that the
league is not exclusively composed
OF sportsmen. 1t includes all who
are interested in the outdoors in any
way, and all who believe that in the
outdoors is found the true basis of
American character and the health
and the moral and material wealth
of the nation.
Whlle the greatest accomplishment
of the |. w. l.. A. lies in the sum total
of the accomplishments of the local
chapters in more than three thousand
American communities, the National
Organization, backed by the entire
strength of the league has completed
several projects of national import
ance to conservation and outdoors
sport in this country.
Soon after its inception in 1922 the
league began a campaign to have
three hundred miles of the Missis-
sippi river bottoms lying in the
states of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Minnesota purchased and set aside
as a great Federal game and fish
refuge and shooting grounds and
public recreation area. This was
pushed through to success and the
area in question now forms a gigantic
public play ground and an incubator
OF game fish and wild life in the
heart of the middle west.
The league has prevented the con-
struction of automobile roads in the
superior National Forest, and now is
waglng fight to prevent flooding
OF large areas of the forest by pri-
vate power interests.-Contin next
