Wildlife Restoration Week
Observed March 21 to 27
As a result of conservation
practices which fodcral and state
agencies have employed during
the past 10 years to perpotuuto
America's renewable wildlife
resources, many substantial con
tributions are bolng made today
to tho notional war program, as
serts Aubrey D, Goodwin of the
Fish and Wildlife service.
"While conservationists a 1 1
ovor tho country are colling pub
lic attention to the sixth annual
observance of Nutional Wildlife
Restoration week from 21 to 27,
this is a good time to review the
benefits derived from conserving
our fish and wildlife resources,"
Goodwin emphasized.
This special week, he explain
ed, was inaugurated by presiden
tial proclamation in 1038 and Is
sponsored by the Notional Wild
life. Federation.
With so much emphasis being
placed today on food, the com
mercial fisheries of the United
States and Aluska contribute
nearly five billion pounds of fish
and fishory products, the bulk of
which Is used as food. This im
portant source of protein food
ranks second in volumo, follow
ing pork and beef, among tho
various sources of animal pro
tein, "In fact." Goodwin added,
"fishery contributions of food
and essential by-products are so
great that without them the abil
ity of the nation to wage war
would be lessened materially."
Deer an elk skins hove
proved to bo a useful by-product
of the harvest of big game and
are in great demand for gloves
and mukluks to equip men in tho
military forces stationed In the
Arctic,
Fats from game and fur ani
mals, previously discarded as
woste material, were aulvngud
end converted into uso In the
manufacture of munitions.
Another wartime contribution
madii by wildlife, has been the
salvaging of duck and goose
feathers for use In making sleep
ing bags and aviator's jackets.
Fur animals are contributing a
valuable share to the war pro
gram since furs are needed to
clothe soldiers fighting In cold
climutes.
"While the aspect Is encourag
ing in avory field of wlldllfo con
servation, tho purpose now must
be to hold these gains, even
though the programs which
made them possible cannot be
carried forward under oxistlng
condition.'!. Tho cost of tho effort
necessary to preserve that which
has been built is small compurod
to its vuluo. Wise husbandry of
food resources is necessary In
peacetime: It Is utterly essential
to a notion at war," Goodwin
concluded.
