Robert Kennedy of Kingsville.
Ont, who lives in the vicinity OF
Jack Miners bird sanctuary, shot
a Canada goose last Fall just be-
fore the close of the season. On
examination it was found to have
one of Jack Miners famous bands
on one leg. dated 1925. On the
other leg a band was dated 1882.
Many people, according to
Miner, ask how old such waterfowl
live. This is evidence the bird was
16 years old. There is, of course,
no telling how old the bird was
when Miner banded its leg.
Miner pointed out that it proves
his theory wild fowl use the same
migration lanes and a sanctuary
affords rest and food en- route.
Miner believes as long as there
is a chain of bird sanctuaries over
this continent where bird life can
find a breathing spell and safety,
there always will be nest egg
supply preserved.

Herbert Elected
To Regional Post
AT WiId|ife Meet
Ken D a h k as Bill
Meets Opposition,
Put Aside for Year
BY DON GILLIEs

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Feb. %
Prof. Paul Herbert of East Lam
sing. President of the Michigan
United Conservation Clubs. was
elected to the important post of
regional director of the National
Wildlife Federation. His selec-
ton come during the closing ses-
sions of the sixth North American
Wildlife Conference here.
Toronto was chosen for the 1912
conference. 1t marked the fist
time in history that any Canadian
city ever was awarded this con-
ference.
In naming Professor Herbert. as
a member of the board of direc-
tors. he will be in complete control
of all policies of this vast conser-
walton group. He will represent
Michigan, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa.
Protest Bill
Ken Dahlka, 225-pound, 6-foot
marine captain of Trenton Mich +,
"a delegate to the conference from
the Trenton Sportsmen's Club. lost
out, temporarily at least, on his
resolution presented for the i'm
|provement of duck hunting in
southeastern Michigan.
Dahlka's bill, which embodied
the highly controversial issue of
using live decoys, brought a storm
of protest from many Atlantic sea-
board delegates. Another portion
of his bill that met stiff opposition
was the. sunrise to sunset shooting
of ducks. After 20 minutes of
heated discussion, the chairman of
the board of regional directors
forced the bill into committee,
thereby ending further action for
at least another year.
The large Michigan delegation,
led by Jim Hoffstetter, delegate
to the conference from the Mon
roe County Rod and Gun Club,
strongly critized the regional di-
rectors for failure to get the an
nual wildlife stamps in the hands
of all sportsmen's clubs.

WiIdIife Restoration
Shows an Increase

Or. Ira n. Gabrielson, in his
annual report to Secretary of the
Interior Harold Iskes, said success
achieved thus far in restoring and
conserving wildlife has made it
easier for the United States to
undertake an intensive national
defense program.
"Wildlife in the United
States" says the report. was in
much better condition with ref
erence to human requirements
at the end of the fiscal year than
at the beginning"

Darkness Comes

Not until we had sought out
few more of these humble rela-
tives of Jack-in-the-pulpit did we
feel wind blowing sharp and chill
fretting the dark pond.
Darkness brought cold, slashing
rain; many hours it beat fiercely
upon the farmhouse windows.
Night long. winds clustered in the
chimney, but within us we had
only a gladness, for had we not
again found the first flowers Of
Spring rising from the pondside
muck?

Nine Breed Clubs

One of the main attractions at
Detroit this year is the fact that
nine breed clubs are holding their
national speciality shows in con-
nection with the main show. That
means more good dogs than nor
mally. for the big kennels may
skip an ordinary all-breed show
but never a national speciality.
To amply meet the requests OF
breeders. Detroit has prepared a
, list Of Is judges who arc familiar
among the big shows of the coun-
try. Alva Rosenberg of Brooklyn
Is. to pick the best Of show. He is
one OF the best known and tray
eled officials in the country. There
viii be five other alI-arounderS
and the others are hand picked
breed specialists suggested by the
various clubs.
Another attraction for the dog
men is that the Detroit Kennel
Club is offering Sc 600 in cash for
the winners of classes and breeds.
To this is added more than 500
special prizes given by clubs and
friends of good dogs. This exceeds
any prize list in the West.
In addition 10 the regular classes.
the obedience tests are Of great
interest now that dog training has
taken such a hold on the country.
Detroit is one of the pioneers in
this sport. In the early days the
contention was between German
shepherds and dobermans.
Training clubs have taken il up
from there and il has been DEM
onstrated that almost all breeds
are susceptible TO learning. and
recently these events have pro-
duced class winners in settlers.

Big Preparations

Detroit has made big prepara-
tons for the obedience tests.
During the Summer there was a
training class near ROYAL Oak and
this Winter the Detroit Kennel
Club has conducted one in The
Detroit Times garage. More than
IS dogs have attended this and
received lessons from skiuful in
structors.
2 The Flint show on Thursday is
handy for the dog men. as it
leaves an easy trip on Friday to
Convention Hall. The local show
will open at 10 o'clock Saturday
and Sunday mornings and be con-
tinuous until the same hour in the
evening Best of show will come
just after 9 o'clock Sunday eve
ming, after which many of the
exhibitors will pack up and head
for the next stop, which is Pitts
burgh.
