fairly simple: in others il would

Under no circumstances shoufd
We overlook the possibilities OF
preserving every remaining species
of American wildlife. several OF
which are represented by pitiful
remnant that was sTatched from
the verge of extinction.
BUILD SANCTUARIES
Along the fight course Of our
migratory birds and waterfowl
there could be constructed chain
of sanctuarieS extending from the
breeding grounds of the north TO
the wintering regions of the south.
AT such points the migrants could
break the long trek across the
trackless sky TO rest and feed
undiSturbed before continuing
their journey.
Also there could be an expan-
sion of the present ranges TO ac-
commodate greater numbers OF
big game species. The wild crea-
lures of the forests fields and
waters are symbols of American
life hat not only should be pre-
served for poSterity but. II given
a chance. will add appreciabiy TO
our natural wealth.
In planning living memorials,
these ami lals should not be over
looked. for ours would be drab
existence if they were to disap-
pear entirely.
HOW TO START ONE
Michigan communities that de-
sire 10 start memorial forests
may obtain forest tree planting
stock from state nurseries. Com
plete information may be obtained
from the forestry division. con-
servation department. Lansing: or
from Prof. Paul Herbert. forestry
department, Michigan State Cel-
lege. East Lansing Other infor-
nation may be obtained from Mrs.
Mabel Madison. Michigan State
Grange. Hubbard Lake.
Planting trees for memorial
forests is not new. Miss Ottilia
Frisch. Saginaw County school
commissioner, has long promoted
tree planting in rural school dis
trictS in that section. Fourth
clubs and teachers -in=faore- than
200 Michigan schools have spon-
sored tree planting programs with
/ great success
IT is hoped that their ideas may
spread and bring action from such
I groups as sportsmen's clubs, vet-
eran organizations and other
groups. especially those that have
to do with formulating postwar
projects.
