The Negro Park Commission
BY w. Harold Flowers pine Bluff

While the members of the Negro Park
Commission who are working without pay
in an effort to provide adequate reereational
facilities for Negro youths under the Jim
Grow" system, will not relish the constant
fire under which they accept the obligations
of their duties as members the STATE
PRESS is anxious to help wage the battle
against youth delinquency We trust that the
members will understand that we have no.
thing personal against any member of the
commission, while our sometime caustic
opinions might fret their humanitarian at
titudes.
Last week the City Council voted an in
creased sum to help with the repairs of the
Merrill Civic Center which provides recrea-
tional facilities in downtown Pine Bluff for
white youths only. There is no such facility
maintained in Pine Bluff for Negro boys. The
action on the part Of the city council is not
condemned for surely with better white boys
we will have vast improvement in human re-
lations among the men of succeeding genera
tons, as II might be that the white boys need
more of that type of training than Negro
youths, for II seems that most of the hating
is done on the other side. However. We be.

quail and with no management" "
Madden said, "the population was
estimated to have dropped off
about SOC"
In 1881 when the Iowa quail
was beginning to be recognized as
game bird and not a songbird
as it had been classified by law
for several years. he said, I'VE
faced about the same problems
+, as you folks in Ohio face right
now that your quail is again on
game bird status, but with no
shooting season. The price of re-
covering this popular game bird
was patience, education, efficient
staff of conservation workers, CO.
operation of the sportsmen and
active support of the farmers.
With scientific facts, the Conser-
vation Commission went to work
, and teamed up with the Iowa
State College of Agriculture
Wildlife Research Unit and the in
telligent sportsmen."
las result of the great educat-
ional effort on habitat restoration,
tied to erosion control he said,
the protectionists went along on
our promise that if quail populat-
ions went down severely, we d
close the season. In 1888, a game
management law was passed and
we went to work"
I'VE have just completed 32
years of quail observation, 10
years when they were protected
and 16 years of management md
harvest of surplus birds by shoot
ing seasons, and we found that
actually, even with hunting, there
is less chance of the quail becom-
ing rare or extinct because Of
the human interest factor.
Last year, 81 of our SO count
les in Iowa were open to quail
shooting. The success of Iowa's 8
quail restoration program did
not just happen. 1t took courage,
intelligent leadership and hard
work. Modern soil conservation
farm planning is intended to put
each acre to its long term best
use for man. What better crop
can waste land, or fence rows
produce that will furnish enrich
ment for mans soul? Quail hunt
ing does that. You can do it in
