ing to run this country they should be
willing-if not eager-to make what
ever financial sacrifices are required.
Unlike drafteeS and recalled reservists,
they have choice-they can always
say mo" and get away with it.
When draftees get their greetings"
from the President, neither the news
papers nor the columnists term it a
tragedy" that they have to give up a
good job to enter the service of their
country. But that's exactly how Col
umnist Lawrence described the Senate's
insistence that Wilson dispose of some
$2,500.000 in General Motors stock to
avoid violating the conflict of inter-
eSts" law.
# the conflict Of interests" law
could be waived for Wilson and his
aides. then I can see no reason why
the draft law shouldn't be waived for
every potential draftee whose call to
service would require him to make A.
nancial sacrifices.

WILDLIFE IN THESE ISLANDS

is SO much Of beauty and color in these Islands
that goes unnoticed that whenever anyone comes up with
a reminder Of our natural riches and advantages the result
is refreshing and encouraging. We take for granted the
gorgeous flowers, the unmatched climate, and the unsur-
passed scenery.
AMONG natural advantages of these Islands is
the absence Of dangerous animals. There are no venomous
snakes, no wild animals that destroy or threaten to destroy
life and property, and no t~eacherous terrain over which
caution must be exercised. Movement therefore is safe at all
times, and practically under all circumstances.
ILDLI IN H islands should be preserved as
much as possible, and it is thefunction and duty of the office
of the Supervisor of WildIfe to see that this is done. In carry
ing out his function the office publishes, frequently highly
informative articles, many of which are even ENJOYABLE.
s OFTHESE articles under thedtleS Sticks From
The Hawks Nest" appearing recently m'THEA AVIS, George
Seaman, WiIdlife Supervisor for these Islands, did a good
lob. as he combined so-caIed herewith the scientific. This
article discussed the Cekkoonidae, commonly knewn as the
wood slave, and gave the type of information which should
dispel all doubts and superstition. IS
MDEED Mr.. SEAMAN tells US, cock lizards do
Grow" at least this one does, 50 that there was some truth
in this longstanding belief. No. longer need the red hot iron
be applied for the wood slave, instead Of being mans
enemy is rather harmless.
THESE ARTICLES made goodreadng, and everyone
should read them as often as they appear. We are confident
that Islanders will come to know more and more OF natures
rich storehouse within these shores and accordingly develop
a greater sense Of appreciation for the natural beauty and
life about us.

. Your Dogs Zone Bite"


1t has been frequently said, "ev-
cry dog is entitled to one bite. Few
people realize that this is no longer
true.
Until 1941. a dog owner was not
responsible to anyone bitten by his
dog when it was the first time the
dog had bitten anyone. However
the Washington legislature of that
year passed a law which, in effect,
deprived the dog of his one free bite.
The law makes the owner liable
when his dog bites someone who is
in a public place, or who is lawfully
on the private place of the dog own
er. This would include postmen
policemen, etc.
Curiously enough, dogs are allow
ed to walk on others property with
no legal trespassing arising as long
as no other damage is done. This
never has been permitted to people.
Wild animals, such as apes or
snakes, are presumed to be danger
Gus and their owners are liable for
the first damage such an animal
might do. OF course, no one has
the right to provoke any animal to
commit damage, and if that is done,
the provocation would be a bar to
recovery.
This column is written to in
form, not to advise. Facts may
change the application of the law

he said. while this does not
mean that every Government
official will be changed, it is
known that the main positions
and those formulating policies
and in positions Of top autho-

any, of us here know any Of
these new men but / am sure
that we all know that one Of
the main points expressed by
the new Administration is for
a reduction and curtailment in

it is not absolutely justified,
