A Lesson
In Conservation
We were sitting on Bill Webster’s
porch the other night, chatting ever
i glass of beer—when the talk tnrna
to forest preservation, soil eroaian,
and other things that affect a farm
ing community.
Judge Cunningham speaks up:
"It’s all right te worry about eon
serving our natural resources,” he
says, ‘*llol there’s a far bigger
problem when H cowee to conser
vation—and that’s preserving our
democratic way et life, our sense
of personal freedom, our rmpect
for one another 1 ! rights.”
