MEDFOFD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE 28, 1962 A 5 Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn W. Watkinj R( (titer & Trtbuoe Syndicate, 19621 ii ll IIIWM P 1 1 i i 9 7 ' Town and Country Conference To Be tfeM in CorvaKs Tragic Waste - Tha Story -Of Our Natural Resources "They never can be all killed off" was the ridiculous statement made by the first amazed white men as they witnessed the vast herds of bison on the Western plains. The same stupid remark was common when great flocks of passenger pigeons darkened the sky over many Middle Western states. Yet the pigeons and the bison went the same way as the heath hen, the Labrador duck and many other species of wildlife once thought to be plentiful. The philosophy of "no cause - for alarm - there's- world's of - them" proved to be a way of extinction. It's one reason why mounted spe cimens in a museum or a short paragraph in a natural history books give present day chil dren the only evidence they can ever get of some of the natural resources abused by us and our forefathers. Market-Hunters' Hey Day Grandfather rem embers well the barrels of dead and frozen rabbits waiting on de pot platforms for shipment, their stiff forms bulg.ng the cloth covers of the barrel tops. He remembers, too, the hampers crammed full of dead ducks: the burlap bags filled with dead squirrels. It was the market-hunter's hey day. Hotels, restaurants and boarding houses contract ed with hunters to supply them with great quantities of wild game; partridge, duck, quail and many varieties of what we now consider song birds. Hardly noticed at the time was the rapid decline in the available supply. The killing went on and the "bounty-hunter" entered the scene. He, too, left a scar that will never be healed. - Not a Friend The bounty-hunter often posed as a friend of wildlife. Some even sincerely believe he exerts a beneficial influ ence on the supply, thinking that by reducing the number of predators he increases the population of desirable ani mals. Unfortunately it never works out that way. rTedatory animals are a Corvallis Classes design ed to help clergy and church and community leaders better understand economic and so- ciologic factors affecting the community and the church are scheduled for the four teenth annual Town and Coun try church conference at Ore gon State university Aug. 6 through 10. Heart of this year's confer ence will be three basic class es which will be offered daily with OSU staff members as instructors, reports the Rev. Kenneth C. Larson, Corvallis, conference chairman. The core classes will be in com munications, the implication of community change and changes In Oregon agriculture and forestry. To Be Understood The conference schedule, which also includes general sessions and elective classes, has been arranged to give help in educational methods and processes in working with people, to discuss problems of mutual concern relating to churches and community life and to encourage a sharing of experiences, Larson stress ed. The communications course, which will be taught by Bur ton Berger, extension infor mation specialist, will cover the personal and interperson al basis of communication as well as how to communicate and be understood. Mrs. Buena M. Steinmetz, Portland, former extension family life specialist at OSU and Iowa State college, will lead the course in social and personal implications of com munity change. In this class, attention will be given to the rapid changes taking place in Oregon communities, the implications of these changes, how to meet them and keys to successful community ac tion. The third basic course will deal with changes in agricul ture and forestry. Those at tending the conference will study the scientific and tech nical inventions which have changed both fields, new mar keting and financing methods and also take a look at what the future may hold. Take Basic Courses Each person attending the I conference will take the three basic courses and will have a choice of elective subjects, Larson said. Two general ses sions each day are scheduled for the entire conference. Pre-registrations for the conference are now being ac cepted by the Rev. Lorcn H. Bush, recruitment chairman, Church of the Good Samari tan, 35th and Harrison sis., Corvallis. Pre - registration will close on June 30, Larson emphasized. I Housing and meals for con ference participants will be provided on the OSU campus with special arrangements be ing made for family groups. A Corvallis church will pro vide child care at cost during conference sessions. The conference is sponsor ed and planned by representa tives of the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon, state and local church women's associ ations, denominational repre sentatives, Oregon Council of Churches, Oregon Farm Bu reau federation, Oregon-Washington Farmers union, Ore gon Home Economics Exten sion council and Oregon Stale Grange in cooperation with OSU and the cooperative ex tension service. Addi t i o n a 1 information about the conference program can be obtained by writing Bush or at the county exten sion office. DANMOO-KI HOTEL 1217 SW.

Children Under Seven No Charge America Spends More On Yearly Vacations New York - 0!PP - American Express says its latest travel poll indicates Americans will spend $23.2 billion on their domestic summer vacat ions this year. Last year, the big travel firm said, the expenditure for vacation hotels, motels, food, transportation, auto upkeep, administration fees and recre ation was $22.5 billion. part of the natural plan. They reduce the number of aged, diseased or immature animals, thereby allowing only the healthy and the fit to become parents. By this method only the fittest survive, and the offspring have a better chance for survival. It is exceedingly doubtful if any bounty on any animal was even mildly help ful in any way. Paying the bounty burdened the taxpay er, and only benefitted the bounty-hunter himself. America was pretty reck less with what we had. Per haps too many of us, even now, subscribe to the "there's a-plenty" theory. But game plentifulness has long since passed. ! 2030 VjJ"-'""v Phone W.MAIry 772-6828 Prices Effective Through July 3 CLOSED JULY 4 Boneless Beef Oven :OASTS Rump (J QJ it LEAN GROUND ef HQ " CHUCK A ih..
