Northeast gunners can look
forward to a modest relaxation
of the recent tight restrictions
on waterfowl hunting, under the
regulations just announced by
the Secretary of the Interior,
according to John S. Gottschalk,
Director of the Northeast Re-
gion, Bureau of Sport Fisheries
and Wildlife of Interiors Fish
and Wildlife Service.
The addition of one bird In
the bag, he explained, is a re-
Election of improved breeding
conditions in the more west
erly breeding grounds and to
a generally satisfactory outlook
for duck production In thenest-
ing grounds of the Northeast.
Noting that despite curtailed
seasons and bag limits, the
black duck, the northeast hun
ter's prime target, has not
bounced back to the abundance
of the mid SOS, Gottschalk
stated that 1t is believed that
the one bird increase In bag
limit and the 10 days added to
the Canada Goose season, will
provide more hunting opportun-
ity without jeopardizing the es-
sential breeding stocks.
He warned, however, that the
federal bureau believes that
any greater liberalization under
present conditions would result
in excessive shooting pressure

duck situation, nationwide, Is

the northeast gunner has no
cause for a complacent atti-

apace in the wintering grounds
and may prove, In the long run,
to be far more calamitous to
waterfowl than the gun.
Director Gottschalk points
out that in forecasting ch~nges
In the fall flight of ducks In
the Atlantic Flyay, breeding
ground survey data is not used
as In the other three flyways
because of the physical diff

important Quebec Labrador
breeding grounds. 1t is nee
essary to depend to a large
extent, he explains, on the re-
suits of the annual winter sur
vey, plus the record of breeding
success from the proceeding
year, in determining trends in
the breeding population of this
flway.
The winter survey revealed
that all ducks collectively, in

WHITERIVER - The White
Mountain Recreation Enterprise
has started the new year by
moving into the newly-complet-
ed addition to the Tribal head
quarters building in Whiteriver.
Jim Sparks, manager of the
Recreation Enterprise, report
ed the move ends a Seven-year
stay in the old quarters located
adjacent to the Agency office.
The new facilities includes
managers office, reception
room, business office for the
clerical staff, game warden's
office, a mailing room, rest
rooms and storage space.
CONSTRUCTED by the Tribal
Construction Company under
the supervision of Red Millet,
the new offices are finished in
knotty pine paneling with tile
floors and modern lighting.
The attractive facilities are
furnished with modern equip
ment and furniture and will
greatly increase the efficiency
of the expanding Enterprise
business operations, said Sparks.
A built-in music system has
been. installed on trial basis
to serve the new addition and
other Tribal offices. Included
in the Construction is coffee
shop for use of Tribal Head
quarters employees.
THE NEW WING was built
at a cost of approximately
$4,000 allocated from the Trib-
al General Fund. The facilities
are rented from the Tribal by
Recreation Enterprise.
Officials reported the con-
struction part of an overall ex-
pansion program for the Tribal
Headquarters building which
will eventually include another
living to provide better facili-
ties for the Tribal Chairman and
the COunSil.
Included also in the proposed
addition will be sufficient space
for a Tribal conference room
where counsel meetings and
other business activities can be
held.
The completion of the head
quarters expansion program has
not been determined, officials
declared.
