administration made funds available
for construction of fish hatcheries,
bird sanctuaries and other wild life
breeding places. He continued:
ut may surprise many, who are
prone to think the conservation OF
our wilf-life resources is the hobby of
naturaliStS and Zoophlles, or the play
thing of rich sportsmen, to hear that
the list of national organizations that
signed the resolutions presented to
the President on January rs num-
bered AZ, who spoke for not less than
10000, 900 of people definitely inter-
ested in every phase Of conservation
for the hunter, fisherman, naturalist,
forester, the lover of the bright and
clean -of-doors.
And. best of all, they spoke for
millions of boys and girls, and untold
plea to save our timber resources
from destructive fires, our streams
from needless pollution, our breeding
areas for water fowl from needless
drainage, and our song and insecti-
verous birds from needless destruc-
ton"
