Help save the wildlife
To the editor:
A deer died today. There it
lies in the snow. It could ro no
farther without food.
Deer, elk and game birds
are dving left and right.
Northeast Oregon had six
inches to two feet or more of
snow before the freezing rain
storm. The rain formed a one
and one-half inch thick crust
of ice over this snow.
These animals can't get
down to the forage below.
They are starving to death.
Add the fact that they are
burning even more calories
due to the sub-zero tempera
tures and we have big prob
lems. Human interest is keeping a
handful of these animals alive.
The Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife has exhaust
ed their budget for the feeding
programs. The feeding will go
on if the donations will keep
coming in.
The Oregon Hunters Asso
ciation has set up an account
in La Grande for donations,
for the feeding programs.
These monies are buying hay.

Dept. of Fish
To the editor:
Winter this year came on
with early fury causing prob
lems at Department of Fish
and Wildlife hatchery facili
ties and severe stress to the
wildlife of the state in many
areas. We are still not past the
time when bad weather can
descend upon us.
However, it is time to pass
along an appreciative word of
thanks to all of you citizens of
the state who have helped with
time, money, materials and
labor in department work
maintaining hatcheries and
assisting wildlife. Without the
tremendous help of volun
teered funds and labor, the
situation would have been
even more devastating.

There are several other
organizations that are taking
donations for these programs
but the money s tied up in
"red tape" long enough to let
that manv more animals die.
Thev also are nationwide or
ganizations, whereas O.H.A.
is Oregon based. The O.H.A.
account can get the needed
monev for feed within an hour.
I don't think that the donations
to the other organizations
have been used on feeding
programs as vet. The O.H.A.
monev went to work as soon as
it showed up.
If vou enjoy hunting, pho
