Protest Voiced
Over Druinino
WiIdHfe Lands

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April 20
(P.-Members of the Izaak
Walton League of America heard
new words of protest last night
against drainage of lands needed
for the protection of wildlife.
DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson of Wash
lngton. D. c., president of the
Wildlife Management Institute,
said in panel discussion he
believed members of the league
were becoming more critically
aware of what we are up against"
Gabrielson, former chief of
the United States Fish and Wild
Life Service. spoke out against
what he called constant drainage
OF lands along the migration
routes of waterfowl and land
normally used as breeding
grounds.
He said that if wetlands along
routes the birds follow are dried
up they will just die out and
that this has been happening
rather rapidly" in the United
States.
Gabrielson said he had long
been critical of the Government
paying farmers and others to
drain land for crops when there
is so much overproduction
DR.. Edward H. Graham of
Washington. director of plant
technology for the United States
Soil Conservation Service, said
1T has been the policy of the
service to discourage draining of
any land not now in agriculture
production.

FORE AND AFT
By MALCOLM LAMBoRNE

ing Associations spring series
starts Sunday off Hams Point,
shippers for the first time will be
racing under a system calling for
three-minute instead of FIVE
minute intervals between the
start of classes,
Theory behind the arrange
ment is to cut down the total
waiting time for each Sundays
doupleheader. Race Chairman
Ben Minor had this word of eau
ton: There will be a six-minute
interval between the start at
12:45 pm. of the cruising divi-
sion and the Thistle class, but a
three-minute signal will be fired
at 12:48 pm. anyway.
Anot her improvement for
those sailors who prefer staying
away from the rocky seawall at
Hams Point between races is the
decision to shorten the time in
terval between the first and sec
ond races for all divisions. The
committee will no longer await
the last straggler to finish from
the first race before starting the
second.
The series, barring snow, hail
or windstorms, runs through
June 10.
Commodore Arthur Frazer has
named George Mckenzie of Ma

One way to get just the kind
of boat you want is to build it
yourself. Of course, it may take
quite a while to do it, but
If you are like Jim Mulhern you
will find the time worth while.
He is learning some arts he
never expected to learn and he
is getting some rugged exercise
which keeps him in shape.

ager of station services of Aero
nautical Radio. Inc. He never
thought that at the age of A
he would be learning to build a
boat. Nothing in his job would
equip him fol- such a task. He
is more of salesman.
His experience in the boat
building field had been limited
before lnlS venture 10 nail re-
building an 18-footer that had
rot IN its decks.
At 1t Is Months
But here he is with 28-foot
ketch pretty well under way. He's
been plugging away at it for 10
months and estimates that IF
all goes well we'll launch it next
winter and maybe we'll be sail
ing This time next year"
Some of the boys at Buzzard'S
Point wards where Mulhern is
working say his project takes
so long because Jim is too
meticulous.

DOESN'T LIKE THE JOB
Novice Suffers JoyfuIIy
Building 28-Foo Ketch

1T takes him day to fit one
plank" they declare.
But Jim has an answer to
That.
You can't do it any other
way" he declares. IF you slap
it together, you'll just have a
basket, not a boat.
Besides. its mighty easy to
get delayed in something like
this. Take one day recently.
had one big plank ready to put
on. 1t was all fitted and l even
had half the screws in when /
discovered that it had a de-
preston fault. Then it split and
l had to rip out the whole thing.
BY late Sunday night 1 was
right back where started Satur-
day orning. That'll make
you SO mad you feel like getting
an AK and chopping the whole
thing up"
Goes II Alone
Mulhern points out that he
can work on his craft only on
Saturdays and Sundays, but he
puts in full days every week end
unless it SHOWS or rains.
Every stick of wood and every
bit of metal work on the ketch
has been done by himself. He
says Mrs. Mulhern helps only by
not fussing too much about every
week end being spent at the boat
yard.
How does one let himself in
for such a trying task? Well. as
Jim says. it's a case of wanting
a certain type of boat at a price
