STANTON Representatives from 50 countries ar assembled in New York studying population and conservation problems. The Conservation Congress, sponsored by the United Nations, has drawn approximately 500 scientists from all parts of . the world. The meeting is attracting much comment in the press and in popular magazines. A. M. Rosenthal, writing in a recent issue of Colliers says : Conumptlonwle, man 1 en a binge. Every day he merrily mlnee mlnerale that nature takea aeone to replace. Ha burnt up oil that haa been thoutanda of yeara in the making under the earth. He teare down the foreete of the agee, ripe the heart out of the land he tllle. Man hae alwaye lived on what he takea from the earth. But today'a aelen tiite are dlamally afraid that the earth no longer la merely being put to ute. It'a being raped. Bruce Biossat, NEA staff correspondent, comments: After the booke by William Voght (Road to Survival) and Fairfield Otborn (Our Plundered Planet) appeared lilt year, they were branded by tome people ae "alarm Itate." Some rather atrained efforta were made to ditprove their thetie that population may eoon outrun the ettentlalt of life. None of theaa attempte tried to deny population growth or the dwindling of reaourcee In eoil, timber, mlnerale and the like. Inetead they pinned hope on eclence and tech nology to aave the aituatlon before etarvatlon and almllar erltee develop. Rosenthal, writing in Colliers points out some of the pos sibilities for conservation: Farmers are stepping up pro duction through controlled projects, such as an increase of from 5 to 50 percent in Italian corn production through use of new hybrid seed.' Insect control will save enough stored grain to feed 150,000,000 adults annually. Veterin arians are hopeful of eliminating cattle disease and thereby increase milk production sufficiently to give a pint of milk daily to 30,000,000 babies. More foodstuffs are being pro duced through "chemical farming." Farming of fish is be coming more important, as in the Philippines where do mestic fishponds are believed able to meet the food prob lems. Millions of acres of land, now waste and arid, can be opened to farming through irrigation. 'in other departments of conservation, new sources of power are opening up through use of wind and heat and discovery of underwater oil deposits. Science has formulated processes whereby every scrap of wood taken from the forests may be utilized. One side of this scientific conservation congress, however, Is discouraging from the standpoint of true conservation, for a phase is that of seeking out more resources that we may continue to exhaust them. Having critically depleted the fishery resource of the northern hemisphere, for instance, plans now are in pro gress for huge fishing fleets to raid the southern hemis phere, packing fish in great floating canneries. With our oil reserves In serious shape, exploration is be ing made of oil-bearing sediments of the continental shelf. There is reason to believe much oil exists in portions of the earth covered by water. Shortages exist in many mineral resources and to find more science has developed airborne devices to locate ore bodies while flying above them in airplanes. There can be no quarrel with the program of finding new resources providing we do not treat them as we have in the past. To continue wasteful methods simply means that noth ing will be left for future generations. Fortunately, we are beginning to do something about our renewable resources water, soil and forests. We are be ginning to study ways of procuring electric energy from continuing resources such as water and air, rather than de veloping power from precious and limited coal and oil as at present. Science is seeking substitutes for certain of our scarce metals. Through proper conservation in all fields we need not be too fearful of the fate of future generations, but if we continue to waste as at present, while population ex pands annually, placing increasing drain on resources al ready heavily overtaxed, the picture looks sorry indeed. It is to be hoped that the United Nations Conservation Congress will succeed in working out a true conservation program for the world as a whole. State Game Commission Plans Youth Program The Oregon Stale Game com mission announces plans to start in the near future an Intensive conservation education procram with various youth groups of the Hate. Austin llararr, district paine afient In the Maker Ijt (Irande area has been rhoson to head this new part of the tramp commission operations, llamor. a graduate of the fish and name management department of Ore gon Slate college has had sevcial years' experience with thp com .mission in several of its fields of operations. It is planned to work closely with existing youth groups such as 411, KKA. BoV routs, and other established or ganizations. This new field of education along fish and g.mie conserva tion lines is one that has been urged by many of the sports man's groups of the state, and it Is also one In which both the Gov ernor and the game commission have expressed keen interest. Allhough a great deal of pre liminary preparation will be re quired, it la hoped that the pro gram can be set In motion some time early In November. Hairier will be headquartered In the Portland offices of the game com mission after November first. C". A. Lockwood, Oregon State f:ame director, stated when mak ng the announcement that he considered this one of the most Important steps made by the commission In recent years.

The Least We Can - i i arTT riaie fi - s Year ago I heard a chief of police, in a talk to a club, tell the women present that it was a very foolish thing to mark a key-ring with one' address, or even name in such a manner that a telephone book would furnish the address. He gave a simple reason: the wrong kind of finder might use the keys, in stead of return them. In the mail thi week came a clever little Identification tag for one' key-ring, sent out by that line group of people to whom we all bave a debt, the Disabled Veterans, Probably you received one, too. Probably you are as glad as we are to use the coin card and return envelope enclosed with the little tag. I like that Idea . of the three initial only on the tag, with the usual Instruction to finder to drop in mail box, etc. The serial number will bring your key hack to you from Indianapolis. There is no clue to the address on the tag: Just the three in itials. (Another thing he (tressed wa to LOCK the glove compart ment, and LOCK your car!) MR. AND MRS.

Martin I was re-reading a leaflet print ed last year when General Jon athan Wainright became their commander, a leaflet that re minds one poignantly of many things. Certainly the name of Wainright i one to remember! He could have escaped by plane but he preferred to remain, and chose to share whatever fate his men had In store: urrender and imprisonment. "The men who surrendered with me did not fail because of lack of loyalty or patriotism or courage" General Wainright said. "We cannot fail them now." When the tall D.A.V. said he would serve a Commander he was Instantly elected by accla mation. "The way to help handi capped ex-servicemen," ay Gen eral Wainright, "is to accept them as MEN, not a cripple . . . Ha anyone a greater right to the full consideration of our na tion?" Let' use the coin card and addressed envelope right now lest we teem to forget the one to whom'we owe so much: the D. A. V. MRS. STRICKLINO IS HONORED AT BIRTHDAY DINNER Mr. and Mr. R. F.

ANDERSON Nw-Review Corrpondnl Emmett Mover, employed by the Douglas county road depart ment, Canyonville district, has Just returned from a two weeks' vacation trip. He and Mr. Mover first visited Yellowstone National park, where they spent two davs seeing "Old Faithful," Mammoth Hot Springs terrace, Giant Gey ser basin, Morning Glory pool, House of Antler. Liberty cap, Dragon' Mouth spring. Sylvan lake and Top Notch peak, Cleo patra terrace and Mound ter mce, Lone Star geyser. Crater of Mud Volcano, and the natural bridge. From there thev drove to Grand Canyon National park, which they viewed from the rim. The beautiful color of the can yon walls are due to the weather ing and decay of the lava, and the oxidation of its minerals, they learned. The color vary from white to buff and bright red. Their next place of interest was Bryce canyon, where they view ed the fantastic formations which the wind and water have carv ed into unusual form. The walls of the canyon rise in pinnacles nearly a thousand feet above tne floor of the canyon. Zion National park wa their next top. While here they drove through Zion tunnel. Some of the most scenic views in the park are found at the window of the tun nel. The tunnel was started in 1927 and completed in 1930. and it now carries the road through a solid rock mountainside for a distance of more than a mile. They also enjoyed the great white throne, the most famous point in tne parK. In Arizona they took a side trip to Meteor crater, where more than a half million dollars have been spent In prospecting for me teoritic material, but where wa ter and quicksand have thwarted these operations. The abandoned workings remain on the floor of the crater. While In Arizona they Iso visited the Petrified forest, which has been set aside by the government a a national monu ment. The deposits of agatized wood range from the size of a marble to trees more than 200 feet in length. They bought some pieces ol agate to bring nome. iney enjoyed a visit to tne- Painted desert, also. There is no running water or stream in the entire area of the Painted desert. At Walnut Canyon National monument, near Flagstaff, Ariz., they saw where the cliff dweller had made their homes. Oak Creek canyon also impres sed them. Their next stop of in terest was Bouiaer aam. After leaving Las Vegas. Nev., they traveled toward Highway 99. which they followed from Bakers- field, Calif., back to Canyonville. They visited relatives at Sacra mento and also attended the Cal ifornia State fair there. In San Francisco they traveled over the Oakland Bay bridge, the Golden Gate bridge, saw Golden Gate park, Treasure Island, the Cliff House, Seal rock, Fisher man' wharf, the Palace of Fine If you happen to jack-hammer v- ' ' The Wyler Watch Company as well as Knudtson's offer you the double guarantee that if any part of the bolonce ossembly of your Wyler watch is damaged or broken it will be replaced or repaired without charge.
