(UPI Telephoto) Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watkins Man I Exterminating Many Species of Wild Life In man's exploitation of Na ture he has stupidly and self ishly exterminated many spe cies of wild life from the earth, under the questionable excuse of progress or expan sion. In his scheme of t h 1 n g s, there is no room for creatures of the wild that he cannot use; in consequence they must move out of the way or per-1 ish. In many instances they have done both; many kinds that once flourished are now gone forever. The problem their elimina tion was supposed to solve, will still continue to plague us, but the animals will have been killed, or their habitat destroyed. A Long List The list of those already erased from the scene is long, and a little 'sickening, for nearly all of them were de stroyed by indiscriminate and ruthless slaughter. The extinc tion of any of them did not justify the reason, or help man's position. The Great Auk, a large Boy Scouts Troops 8 and 16 Twenty-six Troop 8 mem bers and three leaders visited the Lava Beds National mon ument in northern California last week end.

Some held on to a precarious life until 187S None have been seen since then. The Eskimo curlew was hunted so persistently that the species could not continue. Here the human destroyers even gafhered the eggs, along Willi the birds, until the in evitable end came in complete and total annihilation. Great Crimes j In 1914 the last passenger. pigeon on this earth died in j zoo. This lone survivor, the ! only remnant of flock? of; birds that darkened the sun, - worried out the last days nf j ! its life in a cage. The slaugh-1 ter of these birds was one of I the greatest crimes ever per-1 petuated upon a helpless crea ture. They w-re killed by ev-, cry means at the disposal of greedy men. i The birds were left to rot on the ground; killed only be cause human beinus thirsted for blood, and .stupidly believ ed the supply of turds was in exhaustible. Martha's Vineyard marks the final stand of the heath hen. The last one died in 1.U2, while friends of the bird were trying lo find a mate for it; hut they had wailed loo long. The whooping crane and the trumpeter swan are still strug gling precariously on the very brink of extinction. A few re main, but their position is far from secure.
