Manager of the Bombay Hook
National Wildlife Refuge, that
the l,769-acre Kelly Islandpor-
tion of the refuge would be open
this fall toRublic waterfowl hunt

The fact that the opening ofpart
of the refuge to waterfowl hunt

charged by the Congress and
international treaty with the re-
sponsibility for safe guarding
this nations waterfowl re-
source.
In recent years ducks and
geese have found themselves
evicted from thousands of their
northern pot-hole breeding
areas; evicted from extensive
migrational resting areas, and
evicted from many of their win
tering marshes. AS waterfowl
are gradually evicted from each
acre ofwetlands, theywill sure
ly be reduced In total popu-
lation for there will be fewer
and fewer areas left for them
to raise their young, feed, and
rest upon. These deadly evic-
tons are not the result of man.:
cold calculated cruelty bui
rather unintentional damage
caused by agricultural drain
age, pollution, filling, urbaniza
don, etc. all part of mans
