\ REVIEW of the 85th Congress
* shows that conservationists
and sportsmen were successful in
attaining legislation aimed at pro-
tection and wise* management of
the nation's soil, forest, water and
wildlife resources.
The popular national waterfowl
refuge program will get a big boost
beginning July 1, I960, when virtu-
ally all of the receipts from the
new duck stamp will be channeled
into an accelerated program for
the purchase and lease of wetland
areas needed to maintain desirable
populations of ducks and geese.
Action by Congress overcame a
loophole in the earlier law which
permitted diversion of a major part
of the duck stamp funds for routine
operating expenses of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service. With antici-
pated new revenue for purchasing
and leasing of wetlands, the Fish
and Wildlife Service believes it can
attain refuge ar. "-ge goals in
about 25 year
Enactment of ;—s'i-ldcs re-
search law ai' 1 ( • i-npriation
of $125,000 to gct t'n program un-
derway this yo-r will permit the
Fish and Wild'''? Service to give
immediate attention to a pressing
problem. This problem was recent-
ly brought to wide public attention
In the South where the use of in-
secticides and other poisons against
the continuing spread of the dan-
gerous "fire ants" brought cries
from sportsmen that wildlife were
being destroyed as well as "fire
ants." The new law opens the way
for research into the ways and
means of reducing the alarming
loss of birds, mammals and aquat-
ic life that follows large-scale in-
sect and plant pest control oper-
ations.
From Robert E. Fauchler, Ko-
komo, Indiana: I remember way
back in the late 80's when my
father moved to a small town.
Th"re were no sidewalks to speak
of and the men in town would use
sawdust to make a walk across
the streets. The drainage was very
poor and after a rain there was
plenty of mud. We kids used to
make stilts and walk across in
the mud. Plenty of fun seeing who
could go the farthest without fall-
ing in the mud.
I remember going to the politi-
cal rallies when Cleveland and
rison were candidates, and
■ the flag pole raisings. How
men would build big bonfires
of hollow trees out in the center of
town and bring their horns and
drums!
I remember the many thrills we
had at the old sawdust pile where
we kids would dig caves and tun-
nels to see how far we could go.
In the winter, how the school-
house yard was sometimes frozen
over, giving us quite a space for
skating. Not many pf the kids had
skates. They were the old heel
plate skates fastened to a hole oh
the heel of our shoes and tied
sometimes with strings. Not too
mych lancy skating in those days
as many kids had sleds (home-
made) on the ponds. Those were
happy days and the nights were
sometimes taken up with home-
made taffy pulling and fresh pop
corn. •
It seems the youngsters were
more satisfied and had just as
much fun as they do today with
all their faricy gimmicks.
