Protest Protector Dismissal
In the interest of better conser-
vation for Ohio, this column seeks
additional information on the recent
dismissal of 5 game protectors
throughout the area. Positions
abolished included that of Robert
Winchell of Wapakoneta. Bob had
been doing a fine piece of work in
the Bluffton area and it is with re-
gret we learn of his dismissal.
The five men were dropped from
the state payrolls for the alleged
reason of economy. All five of these
men were of civil service standing
and had served from to 10 years as
game management agents. The
sportsmen of Ohio should be told of
the situation. All five of the men re-
ceived letters dated October 13, 194f
stating their jobs were abolished as
of the close of business Oct. IA, 1947.
For men who have worked so many
years in the game department as
these, at least they should have had
two weeks notice. The reason for
dismissal was for economy" pur-
poses.
These men were under the Pitt
man-Robertson program. An approved
PR program by the Federal Govern
ment called for the employment of
twelve men. Yet only seven jobs
were assigned. 1t becomes apparent
the five men whose positions were
abolished could have been given the
five positions still open.
Under the PR arrangement the
Federal government paid three
fourths of the salaries and expenses
of these men.
Game populations are at the low
est ebb in many, many years. We
need MORE TRAINED MEN, NOT
LESS TRAINED MEN, to help in
the big program of bringing game
populations back to satisfactory
numbers. More monies are available
than ever before for such purposes.
In view of all this, we wonder about
the $50 called savings program" the
conservation commissioner has in
mind. 1t smells like politics again.
The writer of this column person
ally feels, that each county should
have a trained man to work along
with the game protector to keep a
thriving program of conservation go
ing. There is too much to be done
and too little help to do the big job
ahead of US. The men in the employee
of the conservation department are
deserving of additional salary. These
men are skilled and doing a fine
job. But even more help is needed
to guide a multitude of sportsmen's
clubs to carry out a program of
sound conservation. We feel sure
that if additional funds are needed
to finance an expansion of the de-
partment, the sportsmen will do
their share and would not protest an
increase in license fees. Let's keep
the conservation division filled with
trained personnel and weed out the
politicians, instead of firing civil
service men who have fine records.

Lest you think that burlesque of a
symphonic conductor performed by
Johnny Morgan at Delmonico's has
any connection with something of a
similar nature once performed by
Reginald Gardiner, we have Mr..
Morgan's work that it does not. Mr..
Morgan first began fiddling around
with 1t back in 1885, when he was q
very young man out in Indiana. He
did not. at the time, even consider
the possibility that there was any
one in the world named Reginald
Gardiner. He just seems to have
been destined to be comedian and
was starting to aim his comedy at
the life he saw about him. One of
the things Mr.. Morgan did not take
too seriously was music appreciation.
AS schoolboy, he used to be
hauled to Chicago, with a group of
other students, for his music ap-
probation study. The teaching was
in the hands of a symphony conduc-
tor whose speciality was highly
accented explanation of the mean
ings of the music his orchestra
played. Mr.. Morgan just thought
this mans routine one Of the fun
nier things in his life at that mo-
ment. His elaboration on it Is one
of the funnier things about local
night life right now.
