Two of the gastronomical high
lights of the big conservation con-
ference at Columbus last week was
the serving of beaver tail supper
the forepart of the week and a
buffalo steak dinner during the
latter. The beaver tails came from
Chapleau district in Ontario. The
buffalo steaks came from reserve
herds which are thinned out annual
ly for better maintenance purposes.
The occasion of this outstanding
convention was the meeting of the
Outdoor Writer Association of
America. The theme of all the
speeches was the urge to all writer's
to perform their greatest service
both now and in the post war
period-by helping educate the public
of the need for conserving Americas S
national resources.
Governor Bricker urged the
writers that an Ohio conservation
department is being proposed that
would include not only fish and game
divisions, but also soil erosion, water
level controls, and every phase of
conservation work. Following the
convention, Don Waters, the head of
the Conservation Department, pre-
sented plans for uniting all phases
of the work program of the State
Department of Conservation to be
operated as one unified department.
Other plans included the purchas-
ing of 100000 acres of sub
marginal lands in Ohio with view
of an immediate reforestation pro-
gram.
Bob Becker of the Chicago Tri-
bune pointed out that the govern
ment is furnishing fishing tackle to
the men in the service and we at
home must keep our streams well
stocked and our game reserves up to
par. Returning soldiers and sailors
are going to want outdoor life.

moments, they have turned to hunt
ing, and especially to fishing as their
only recreation.
One of the top items on the pro-
gram was the urging of the educa-
tion of children to the needs of con-
servation work. Conservation text
books should be written and the SUBJ
ject taught in the schools in a man.
ner to appeal to children. In his own
words Seth Gordon of the Pennsyl-
vania State Conservation Division
stated: "We should take a page from
the books of our enemies and devote
our energies to those between the
ages of 9 and 13". 1--WE must get
our boys and girls to think along the
lines of conservation to make the
greatest possible strides" John Cum
ningham, the head of the o. S. u. of
Agriculture added.
Emphasis was placed on the fact
that closer relationship between var
ious conservation clubs and sports
mems organizations is needed. Closer
cooperation and harmony is essential

but difficult exit.
When approached by danger they
will fly up and are easily caught and
killed. Hundreds of sparrows have
been caught in one trap, but to be
successful it must be a continuous
process. You must also be sure to
release all valuable birds caught in
these traps.
Suggests Scout Project
The writer offers the suggestions
to the Boy Scouts to make this one
of their projects. They could build
number of traps and place then
throughout the town and then see to
it that feed is kept in them and that
the sparrows are killed regularly
and the valuable birds released.
This project, if honestly carried
out would soon make itself felt in
town and could be far more valuable
than just a sparrow contest.
This reduction of sparrows and the
return of more valuable birds to our
back yards would soon make itself
felt in more and finer flowers, more
and more perfect fruits, larger
vegetable crops with less effort, and
medley chorus of natures finest
songsters.
Remember the birds of Ohio cal
twenty carloads of insects day OF
enough in one year to fiji a freight
train thirty miles long. But for
these birds the insects would turn
Ohio into a desert in a few years.

yard.

mendations for the conserving of
soil, water, and forests. Conserve
these three and an abundance of wild
life is assured.
This writer's chest has puffed UP
to a great degree since Life Scout
the other day made a significant
statement. The young man was dis
cussing the future of scouting after
he has made the grade and becomes
an Eagle. The Scout stated that
soon he will have completed his
Eagle work and then by that time he
will have become sixteen and be
eligible to join the Sportsmen's Club.
He said the work of the scout troop
and the Sportsmen's Club is so
similar that he wants to continue on
in the field of scouting and has
selected already the local conserva-
ton club as an outlet for his energy
in outdoor activity. Let us show
this young man, gentlemen, that we
are worthy of his ambition.
The killing of three red foxes near
Lafayette was reported by hunters
this week. Two of the foxes were
trapped and one crippled by shot and
finally killed after being chased for
two hours.
The hunters included Gale and
Dean Moore, Ira Moore; Justin
Klinger, Wayne Cooney, and William
Cheney. All live near Ada.
Two of the foxes were males and
one female, the largest one killed
weighed IA pounds. The three pelts
brought S22.
The Lakes and Stream Committee
have been authorized an appropria-
tion of $4,000 by the directors of
the club. This sum under the
management of Aldine Kohl, Fred
erick Tschantz, Ray Mumma, Hiram
Wenger, and Gerald Clever will be
used principally for the development
of the park at the north end of the
Buckeye quarry. The committee is
drawing plans for the construction of
shelter houses, picnic tables and
benches, fire places and other needs
for use by members of the organiza-
ton.
The lease on the grounds will be
arranged within few weeks and
after that time construction work at
the park will soon be underway.
A recent freeze was sufficient to
form ice on the quarry of thick
ness to bear the weight of several
directors, and Ray Mumma and
Frederick Tschantz chopped off the
branches of the felled poplar still
protruding above the water surface.

during the high wind after the ice
thawed a few weeks ago it is still
intact to a great extent and the heap
will be dragged back into position

Have you noticed the large con-
glomerations of pheasants lately?
Out on so near the Hamilton farms,
Clayton Bixel not long ago noticed
flock of pheasants that totaled
nearly 500 birds. Harry Wingate
reported seeing a large flock near
the George Schick farm south of
town. This hide of birds was smaller
and contained around $50 pheasants.
From time to time huge fiocks of
these game birds are seen near the
Louis Criblez farm. At one time
recently the rural carrier noticed
several hundred birds in one flock.

gram Chairman for the club, is

Reese Huber uses system handed
down from his father for predicting
the severity of our winter season.
Reese says to take particular notice
of caterpillars in the fall. If the
hair on the worm is yellow in the
middle and dark on the front and
rear portion this means the winter
will have a spell of nice weather,
and the weather will be mild during
the middle of winter months. The
dark rear portion of the worm
designates that this winter season
will go out like lion. If the worm
is dark all over then the winter will
be severe all the way through.
Various color areas on the worm
will indicate the weather for any
portion of the winter season. This
system can be used by observing
fuzzy covered worms only and not
the naked type, it was pointed out.
So far this winter is living up to his
prediction of last fall, Reese stated.
