Boys and Girls of All Clubs Protect
Animals and Birds of Rural Districts

Few persons realize the important
contributions the members of the 4
H clubs are making to the cause of
conservation, writes Albert Stoll,
Jr., in the Detroit News. These
clubs, operating throughout the ma
ton and composed principally Of
rural boys and girls with the motto,
Head, Heart, Hand and Health, have
been in particularly fortunate
position to become intimately ac-
quainted with their native plant and
animal life and realize just what
these resources mean. to their COM
munities.
In many instances the groups are
responsible for reforestation prof.
ects and the conservation Of farm
woodlots. They have encouraged,
through protection and refugees, the
maintenance Of crop of fur-bear-
ing animals in their communities.

they helped carry quail, pheasants
and winter song birds through Sc
we're periods. In Michigan alone the
clubs have been given thousands of
pheasant eggs for incubation and
after rearing them made alterations
when the birds were able to shift for
themselves. They have taken on
active interest in the preservation of
rare wildfowers. They have dis
couraged the indiscriminate killing
of beneficial hawks and owls, a
practice which their forefathers
considered good preservation.
In the more remote districts they
have rendered valuable services in
the prevention and control of forest
and brush fires.
In short, they have given splen-

CHAPTER vI-Continued

One day when Brace was to meet
Barbara at her grandmother's for
tea, and arrived before the girl, the
old woman spoke to him of Bar
bara's condition, said stoutly: IT
wish someone would marry her and
take her away from here! She can't
stand much more. She hasn't the
strength to go through all this. She
shouldn't have to do It'll"
He dissented gently. "People
can't shirk such things. Barbara's
sister did, know; but she will al
ways regret it. We have to accept
our burdens, our responsibilities.
Face them squarely." q.
She said grimly: "Maybe! No
doubt you are a level-headed young
man, but suspect you're too level
headed for your own good!"
& He smiled tolerantly. "I'm sor-
