MILITANT CONSERVATION
By Charles jV. Stanton
When military services began having trouble maintain
ing telephone wires in the extreme northern sections of
the continent, personnel had visions of enemy sabotage.
Investigation, however, revealed a quite different situation.
Telephone lines, it was found, were erected at a pre
scribed height. Snow storms, however, reduced clearance.
Caribou, trying to pass under the telephone lines, entan
gled antlers in the wire. In freeing themselves, the ani
mals disrupted communications. The situation was quick
ly repaired.
This is only one of several incidents related by F. Ross
Brown, Albany, former state president of the Oregon Wild
life Federation, now western vice-president of the National
Wildlife Federation.
Talking with Brown last week at the annual meeting
of the Oregon group in Corvallis, I was told some of the
detail of what is perhaps the greatest service to the cause
of conservation in late years. The story was told in part
in a recent issue of a popular magazine, but the article
could not begin to convey the enormity of the service being
done conservation in general, in Brown's opinion.
Conservation has been adopted as the hobby of the
U.S. Air Force. In Air Force bases all over the world
men have formed or are forming conservation clubs.
Official Blessing Given
This new development has been given the official
blessing of the Big Brass.
When men in bases aren't busy with the tasks imposed
by military defense, they are rearing game animals and
birds. They are planting trees. They are improving hab
itat for fish and game. In some areas they have even
cleaned up the trash left by litterbugs. Large military
reservations are, in many cases, being used for scientific
management of game. Florida's population of deer, it is
reported, has been greatly expanded. Public shooting is
being permitted on some reservations where harvesting is
needed as a control measure.
The most promising feature, in Brown's opinion, is
that thousands upon thousands of young men are being
trained in the fundamentals of conservation, proper use of
resources, management of fish and game, and various oth
er factors. Upon return to civilian life they will be aggres
sive in conservation demands and critical of public apathy.
Brown, who has jurisdiction over National Wildlife Fed
eration activities In the western . states, including Alaska,
makes frequent trips over the territory and has seen first
hand much of the work done by servicemen. He says the
people of this country owe far more gratitude to the serv
icemen than they know.
Roseburg Prominent
The Roseburg Rod and (fun Club, which has held a
very prominent part In the work of the Oregon Wildlife
Federation, continued its leadership at the recent state
meeting.
The federation has been headed for the past two years
bv Bruce Yeager of Roseburg and Sutherlin. YeRger has
also served another term but not in sequence with those of
the last two years. Declining to be a candidate for the
presidency again, Yeager is to be succeeded by Charles S.
Collins, supervisor of the Tmuglas County Park Depart
ment. ColHns, a past president of the Roseburg club, has
been executive vice-president of the federation during the
last year.
Yeager will continue to serve until the June meeting,
at which time the officers elected at the contention in Cor
vallis will be installed.
Convention reports indicate that Oregon's organized
sportsmen are now in the strongest position in history. The
state has two organized groups, the Wildlife Federation and
the Oregon Division of the Izaak Walton League of Ameri
ca. Both have made important gains in membership and
influence. They work in close cooperation through a liai
son committee.
It doesn't take a long memory to recall when a per
son talking about conservation of natural resources and
the protection of fish or game was considered to be "tcched
in the head." But conservation today is recognized by the
general public as essential.
Considering that the whole future welfare of our na
tion rests on our abundance of resources and their proper
utilization, it is perhaps significant that we find our mili
tary services defending our country not only with weapons
but through militant conservation as well.

A suggestion:
Some evening or some Sunday
when you have nothing better to
do, reach up on your five foot
shelf and take down your Ancient
History and read up on the golden
age of Ancient Greece.
The city states of Greece, led by
Athens, built up a civilization that
was more wonderful than anything
that had ever existed before on
earth. But these city states could
never learn how to reach and re
tain a reasonable state of agree
ment and cooperation over any
considerable period of time. They
disagreed and argued and fought
and scratched and bit each other
in the leg from time to time.
Eventually the barbarians swept
in from the surrounding outer
darkness and put an end for good
to the golden age of Greece. You'll
find the story an interesting one,
well worth the time it will take to
read up on it. You may be able
to draw from it some morals that
will be useful.
History, you see, tends to re
peat itself.
One more thought in closing.
If you'll go on with your reading,
you'll earn that the Scythians in
vaded the Kingdom of Media and
occupied it for ten years. The king
of Media, a wise and crafty char
