Though the number of forest

double those of the year before,

There was not one major con-

Veterans Not
Encouraged In
Fur Farming

LANSING, Jan. 5-Returning
veterans who want to engage in
fur farming in Michigan are
given scant encouragement by
conservation department game
men.
Many letters written by vet
erans inquire about regulations
covering breeders operations.
Others ask advice. Information
about regulations can be sup
piled easily enough; it is less
pleasant task to attempt to dis
courage a veteran who believes
he can raise fur animals sue

The department points out
that few fur farms are operat-
ed with profit, that risks are
great, and that investments are
likely to be- heavier than an

and the fox are recognized at

A Request Only
Fighting Men
Would Moke

Another bomber crew based
in Oklahoma, wants a skunk
for a mascot, and the Michigan
Conservation Department is
rather stumped about the fact.
The pilot of a BIZ bomber
based at Ardmore, has sent his
crews request for the striped
kitty, but catching one in
Michigan isn't easy, especially
when the earth is covered with
snow, because their numbers
are apparently declining.
Some time ago, the conserva-
ton department sent one of the
animals, with the unmistakable
aroma, to another bomber crew
at the same field, but someone
with a sense of odor but no
sense of humor freed the
animal.

Come Protectors
Of Ohio Have
Many Duties

Each Ohio county has a game
protector, whose duties have
been widely extended under
wartime conditions. These game
protectors, formerly called game
Wardens, because their duties
were chiefly policing, not only
perform the job of law enforce
ment, but also game and fish
management work, public rela-
tions promotion and first aid
work in the field, by virtue of
special Red Cross training.
The fish and game manage
ment agents who have gone to
war could not be replaced and
the protectors have largely
taken over their duties, such as
building wildlife shelters, win
ter feeding, stream improve
ment, salvage, and dozens of
other tasks.
Ohio Conservation Commits
sioner Don Waters points out
that these men are always
to citizens who wish
information about game laws,
county conditions, how to help
in local conservation activities,
and in an emergency for first
aid service.

Michigan
Lands

LANSING, Jan. 5, 1945-One
of the largest outdoor recrea-
ton land programs ever at
tempted by any state was in
augurated by the Michigan De
partment of Conservation early
in 1914. At that time the state
legislature authorized the de-
partment to proceed with the
acquisition of 100000 acres Of
recreation land in southeastern
Michigan and with the purchase
of $4,000 acres embodying the
heart of the famed Porcupine
Mountains. 1t backed up its
authorization with an appropria-
ton of 100000 to start pur-
chase in the 100000 acre tract
and S1,000,000 to buy the por-
cupines.
"This program is by far the
biggest job to be handled by the
Department during the year
or for that matter, in the en-
ire. history of this organization,
P. j. Hoffmaster, Conservation
director, said in submitting his
annual report. Few states
have ever proposed such a gi-
gantic program to provide out
door recreation for its people,
and we we'll realize our respon-
sibility in carrying it out"
Park engineers and design
ers are already at work laying
plans for the development of
both areas so that work may
begin just as soon as labor is
again available"
I'VE are now proposing a D.
year program of parks develop
ment and improvement that will
cost close to $16,000,000," he
said. This proposal calls for
work in almost every state park
in Michigan. If this is carried
through, by 1850, Michigan will
provide a goodly amount of di-
versified and excellent facilities
for every type of outdoor recre-
alton. think we all realize
how much our out of doors are
going to mean after the war and
how much they will be used.
Our program should give a tre-
mendous impetus to our tourist
and resort industry as well as
providing those things so nee
esSary for our own people"
said.

BOROWY TO
 FACE PIRATES FOR TENANT
BY RUDY CERNKOvIC United Press Sports Writer)

Pittsburgh Sept. 29.-CUP)-The Chicago Cubs were all set today to put an anti-climax finish to the Na- tional leagues "Tale of Two Cities, baseball melodrama that has kept fandom astir since mid-season.
 The Cubs were almost as safe as superfortress pilots eluding bean bag attack. They still are sure of a tie with the intrepid St. Louis Car- dinals, even if an entire conbina- tion of six games in two days ir- volving the two clubs should go against them.
 The Cardinals have only one hope-and a mighty slim one. They could tie the Cubs only by winning their three games at Cincinnati to- day and tomorrow while the Cubs lose three against the Pirates here- One odds-maker, who said he wasn't taking any bets, figured that the odds against the Cardinals in such situation were at least 100 to 1.
 Manager Charley Grimm, radiat- ing good humor said the time hadn't come to celebrate-yet. The all-im- portant "clincher" victory would have to come first, he said, and lNa- til then everything would be "strict- ly business.
 Big Chance
 He said he would send Hank Borowy to the mound in the first game with the Pirates today. Bo- rowy, 10-game winner since com% ing from the New York Yankees at mid-season, also may be his choice for the first game of the World Series. since the ex-Fordhaln finger has been the clubs "blule- chip" pitcher. Should Borowy fall, he will have Ray Prim, the aging but efficient southpaw, or Claude Passeau, his standby right-hantler. for the second game.
 For the Pirates, there remained possibility that they might gain the revenge against the Cubs that they have been after for seven years. They'll never forget what happened on Sept. 28, 1898 when they seemed to be certain ptnnant winners, even though they had dis sipated a big mid-season lead. On that day, with the score tied 5-all, Manager Leo (Gabby) Hartnett of the Cubs hit a ninth inning homer at Chicago to break up the ball game. The Cubs went on to win the pennant. finishing the season with 21 straight victories.
 Manager Frankie Frisch said he would send out of his best pitch CTS today, Truett (Rip) Sewell and Fritz Ostermueller.
 If anybody can get the job done, they can," Frisch said.
 He seemed to be the one that was ''grim"-not jolly Cholly of the Cubs

Crosby goes to Tor rington, Wilby is in Plainville while Leavenworth could not fill an open date for tomorrow and will not start the season until next week Friday against Commercial High in New Haven. Naugatuck'S $ GreyhoundS are in Derby tomor- row for their opener.
 Torrington, despite the advantage of its home field at Fussenich Park, is not expected to roll over" Crosby as Connie Donahue's lads have been trounced in their first game last week, and though Crosby has also been heavily hit by loss of key players, particularly co-Captain Johnny Reardon, last seasons kicker and passer, Coaches Jimmy Lee and Jim Murphy feel that they have the makings of good or per- haps excellent team in Pickett. Lawlor, Mulhall, Bird, Noonan, Carserino and others.
 May Be Tops
 Wilby is apt to be the dark horse' of the local high school football picture, as Coach Tom Purcell has nifty passing com bination in Bill (Buzzy) McGrath and tall Jack Danaher; while Capt. Eddei Cavanaugh and Knights, Ray and Rush on the line will go well. In LoRusso, Bowman, Perrone and Perillo, Leavenworth has a back field combination that may very well "go places" but has no soft touch" in its opener at New Haven against a Commercial High team that is rated good"
