The junior lefthander set nine batters down WILDLIFE/). oLineA By Phil White Emerald Sports Writer Shall we allow the continuation of the abuse to Oregon's natural resources, abuse that will eventually produce an area of dust, desolation and death? This i- a question that should be given some thought by every student. The history of the United States as a whole has been a story of uncontrolled ex ploitation of natural resources with little thought as to what would be left for future use. Governor Patterson has declared this week as Oregon conservation week. This is not a week designed to get every one in the state out planting trees in the burned-over areas or planting cover for wildlife. Rather, this is a week designed to awaken the residents of the state and let them realize that conservation is everybody’s business. When natural resources disappear, animal, and consequent ly human, life vanishes from the scene shortly afterwards. For that reason, conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Oregon Wildlife Abundant Conservation week is designed to bring to the attention of all Oregonians the need for wise use of our abundant natural resources. Oregon is rich in wildlife, minerals, forests and water, but only through constant interest and work by every one can it remain that way. Our survival is dependent on wise use. All you need to do is to live the conservation pledge. “I give my pledge as an Oregonian to save and faithfully to de fend from waste the natural resources of my state ... its soil and minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife.” While we're on this subject of conservation, let’s see how it applies to the trout season which just opened. Oregon fisher men are a fortunate lot, for Oregon, unlike many other states, still has miles of unpolluted streams and clear mountain lakes. Also, because of the nature of the state, the variety of fish of fered the angler here is as wide as in any state of the Union. Law-Breakers Wreck Fishing Whether this fishing continues, depends largely upon the Isaac.Waltons themselves. Past acts of vandalism and disre spect for the rights of others have closed segments of Oregon’s fishing waters to the general public. Disregard for the regula tions as set up by the Game Commission also jeopardizes fu ture fishing. Since fishing is one of our resources which can be con tinued indefinitely if properly managed, why should we spoil our future generations chances to enjoy the sport by a few selfish acts. Yes, trout season for this year is here. When you’re out fishing, take time to meditate and remember future fishing depends on your conduct. You hold the key to future fishing. Respect for regulations and the rights of others will unlock the door for years to come. in ordfcr. None of the pitchers issued a walk.
