Popu Domain of By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York-nPD-Unlike the Chinese to whom it may mean starvation, our steadily mount ing population is considered a boon be cause it means more produc tion, more sales, and higher stand ard of living. But there are penalties that ar wmizer stem irom inis growth. There are freedoms that are pinched in by the spread of our teaming millions to the rural areas where they build homes and take up land that was once free to all to Growth Hemming in Hunter, Fisherman f. ! w , a roam. Hunters ard fishermen find that domain hemmed in from all sides. - This news on hunting and fishing is considered suffici ently important by the Fed eral Reserve Bank of Boston to give it leading space in its New England Letter. 'The right to work and live without regimentation and the right to own and develop land have been two of the great attractions of this country," ays the bank. Population Conflict "But a rapidly increasing population is bringing these historic freedoms into conflict, and this is particularly evident in the problem of finding hunting lands and fishing wa ters for sportsmen." It has been estimated that around 15 million sportsmen obtain fishing licenses each year and the same number take out hunting licenses. The two groups may overlap but it's a big total, and supplying the equipment is an industry that runs into the billions when boats, motels, and travel are considered. Publicly owned land is re duced. Streams and lakes may be public poperty but often are inaccessible. Private lands are often posted against hunt ing. Land values have risen and states that would like to help sportsmen by buying up preserves find it too expen sive. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston queried federal agencies, fish and game de partments of all states and about 500 active sportsmen's groups in New England about the problem. Feet To Hun It found sportsmen in many states, pay a fee for hunting on public wildlife manage ment areas. In Virginia, West Virginia, and Arizona, the states collect a fee from hunt ers using national forest lands. This money, says the bank, is reinvested in wildlife manage ment work in these forests. "In the southeastern states," says the bank, "as of 1951, over 70,000 sportsmen were paying a fee to use about four million acres of publicly own ed or leased hunting land. "Many fish and game offici als are convinced that the day of public hunting is over. "They feel that the sports men's problem can only be solved by increasing the sup ply of fish and wildlife with improved management prac tices.' "They also believe that the average sportsman will have to spend more money and accept more regimentation than he has in the past." Things are so different from the days of the colonists. In the mid-1 600s one of them wrote, extolling the rivers of the United States affording in numerable "sortes of choyce fish." Also "water fowle of all sorts are plentiful . . . wilde turkeys are frequent and some weigh neer three score pounds." If you think- Ihe turk weights are stretched a bit, you ought to read Capt. John Smith's account of fishing in New England in 1624. He mentions mullets four and a half feet long. They don't grow so big any more, and they are less plentiful. Western Riders in Shasta Valley Event Montague -. Riders from northern California, southern Oregon, and .Arizona were among the winners in the an nual Shasta Valley Stampede held recently here. Two complete go arounds were held both nights of the event. Among the winners were Jack Plumlee, Klamath Falls, and Larry Perry, Med ford, who placed fourth in the team roping contest in the first go around. The Montague Lancerettes, an all girl mounted drill team, performed both nights. A new, liberal plan guarantees you the right to buy Additional Life Insurance Without Medical Examination Now, if you are age 37 or under, The Prudential otf ers a plan with a most important option guaranteeing you the opportunity to buy additional life insurance in the future without a medical examination, regardless of your health or occupation.
