 Healey Tomorrow

Judge Patrick Healey will be sworn in as judge of the probate court at II o'clock tomorrow morning with Judge Dennis J. Slavin, who is retiring from the office after more than a quarter century of service, admins tering the oath. Thereafter, Judge Healey will administer oaths of office to the mem- bers of the staff.
 Due for disappointment are John J. Howard, longtime clerk of the probate court; Miss Marguerite M. F'ahy and Edward Slavin, assist ant clerks; and Miss Noreen Burke, secretary.
 Judge Healey is president of the Waterbury Bar Association and a member of the Connecticut Bar As sociation. He is a member of the grievance committee of the state organization.
 Retiring Judge Slavin has served as probate judge of the district com prising Waterbury, Middlebury and Wolcott for 26 of the last 23 years. He was not a candidate for reelec- tion in November due to the fact that his retirement age would be reached in a subsequent term, in even of reelection.
 The ceremonies of induction into office of Judge Healey will be held at the probate court and will include just the administering of the vari- ous oaths of office as required by statute.

 In the past 20 years conserva- ton activity has been steadily growing. The Biological Survey made detailed studies of the hab it's of birds and animals so that it could better remedy the caus- es of decimation in numbers Along this line refuges for migra tory fowls and reservations for animals were established.
 One of the greatest problems confronting conservation agen- cies was the heavy decline i'm the migratory waterfowl population. This decline was noted to be in operation until 1895 census fig ures showed that the waterfowl were holding their own. Since 1885 the numbers of waterfowl have been on a slow, but steady increase.
 Alaska, the nesting ground for great majority of the waterfowl of the western hemisphere has been the scene of much study on the part of the Biological Survey for the past several years.

 We do not yet know many of the nesting and migrating habits of the ducks and geese that ev- cry year come on their north ward flight to the nesting places. This lack of knowledge is one of the things that bring me here. "
 For a good many years I have followed waterfowl fights from the Arctic Sea to the Canal Zone gathering data that can be used In the establishment of refugees and aiding governments in set ting their shooting seasons"
 The governments of Mexico, the United States and Canada are now bound in a treaty that ex- pressly sets forth a good program for the conservation of the migra tory game. These cooperating gov ernents are studying their prob lems at this time, working to- ward the time when hunting can be done and hunters satisfied with their kills, without bringing about the extermination of this natural resource, that at one time was well on its way"
