The Department noted that
wildlife losses, appalling though
they may be, are occurring only
in areas of unsuitable or mar-
ginal habitat and observed that
such losses occur each year and
is part of Nature’s scheme to
eliminate the weak and ill-adapt-
ed.
“Only the strong can with-
stand the rigors of winers,”
said a biologist. Only the swift
and intelligent can evade the
grasps of a predator. The ‘best’
of each species will survive to
reproduce next spring. “Survival j
of the fittest”, may appeal cruel
in application but is one of
Mother Nature’s oldest rules.

Embalming fluid instead of
fire water could have been the
target of four New Mexico and
Oklahoma Indians arrested at
Goldthwaite while trying to raid
a liquor store.
They had five undresced deer
in the trunk of their car.
Officers quoted the quartet as
saying they planned to tan the
i hides and eat the meat.
The lawmen thought they
might attain their first objec-
tive but doubted the second
phase might be attained since
the vension was slightly on the
“unfresh” side by the time the
four spent five days in jail and
paid $200 each in fines.
He invented a better way of Iiving...electrical living!
Thomas A. Edison, whose birthdate each year signals
the observance of National Electrical Week, brought
electricity out of the laboratory and into prac-
tical uae for the benefit of mankind. His in-
vention of the first practical incandescent
lamp, and his many other inventions in the
field of electric power generation and distri-
bution, created a new way of life and a new
industry,
