Homes For Wildlife" Is Slogan
This Year For Natl Wildlife Week

Homes for Wildlife' is the slogan
for this years National Wildlife
Week, to be observed March 1923.
The above slogan bespeaks a conser-
vation problem, according to wildlife
authorities.
The problem centers in the fact
that our feathered and four-footed
friends of the wild need homes to
survive, and what people have done
to wildlife habitat shouldn't happen
to a dog. And as matter of fact, il
hasn't because dogs can live in the
back yards, garages, Easements OF
living rooms of human houses, but
wildlife can't.
Deer, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels
quail, grouse and other wild crea'
lures require homes in the weeds and
fields and marshes in orde rto survive
and rear their families. Even the
fishes that are so dear to the hear
of the angler need more than water
| to find a home. If wildlife homes are
cut burned, drained, salted or pol
luted, the result is obvious: No wild
life. 1t is in fact, all too obvious il
too much of America.
That is the reason for havin!
