Bird Refuge Plan
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The new 50 duck stamp is going

wildlife refuges-but not right
away.
j. Clark Salyer II, refuge chief
for the Fish and Wildlife Service
says land prices are too high. at
present, for the acquisition of new
hideouts for waterfowl. Besides,
there are more urgent things to
be done.
This is the worst time in his
tory to buy land" Salyer said
yesterday.
Were not going to rush in and
buy refugees until conditions ad-
just themselves"
Salyer said first priority will 60
to further development of the
more than 100000 acres on
200 waterfowl refugees now in op-
Grafton.
by flooding and other improve
ments which we have not hereto
fore been able to afford, we will
be able to increase our service
on our present refugees by Is per
cent" he said. This will get our
immediate attention"

In spite of a record Of 18
victories in 20 games. the Gar
WINS Grill girls softball team
is unhappy. Only an angel could
console the satin-pantied cut
les, said angel being of the spe-
cies that packs a wad of long
green so big that a sizeable
slice of it might not be missed.
A slice big enough, for instance,
to defray expenses If the Gar
win girls won their way to the
National championships at
Portland, Ore, this fall.
~ The Garvins are cutting fam
cy capers in the District Recre-

enough to garner the honors in

But even if they whisk
through the regionals. that's as
far as they'll 60. Unless, OF
course. some nice person with a
big heart and bank account
comes to the rescue.
They're going to hold the
Nationals in Portland. Ore,
again" means Manager Johnny
Poston. That's just too far
away. Even if we do win the
regionals, we won't be able to
afford the trip"
Portland, it seems, is a natu-
raj site for girls softball games.
The interest is so great
there" explains Poston. tour
nament officials can't disregard
it. They draw 5000 fans in a

Garvin's made the Nationals
in i947, when they were held
in Cleveland and got as far as
the third round. They reached
