1500 Persons Participate In Resolirce-UseEduc.
The 12th annual North Caro
lina Resource-Use Education
Conference, which convened
here November 13, was attendej
by more than 1500 supervisors,
principals, teachers, students and
parents. The one-day conference
was divided into three general
sessions.
The keynote address was de
livered by Dr. Stanley A. Cain,
Chairman, Department of Con
servation, School of Natural Re
sources, University of Michigan.
Dr. Cain used as his subject:
“The Interaction Between Hu
man and Natural Resources”. He
declared “The whole American
economy is production oriented.
Much of American attention is
directed toward the application
of scientific knowledge to in
creasing our production of goods
and services from natural re
sources—renewable and non
renewable.” The distinguished
educator said: “The first change
that has come over us was due
to the realization that our al
most exclusive concern with
products and quick profits —
whether of the forest, the farm,
or the oil fields—^was resulting
in tremendous waste that was
socially criminal even if it
seemed at the time to be good
business and necessary in a com
petitive free-enterprise econO"
my.” He furtjier stated that “The
.second development in conser
vation may be called the ecologi
cal phase. The ecological phase
in the development of conserva
tion has had many consequences
already although we still are
very far from complete inte-
^ated management of our na
tural resources”.
He pointed out that “Not only
must resource managers work
together to develop integrated
■ programs but all other sectors of
the economy and facets of so
ciety must be involved. The
Michigan educator further stated
“We must participate in de
cisions at the national level, for
laissez-faire started dying with
the twentieth century.” The
conservationist declared that
“the individual or personal re
sources of a people are their
physical and social conditions,
knowledge, and skills.” He said
“Man creates resources. There is
almost nothing that Western
man uses directly as it occurs in
nature except perhaps a drink of
spring water, a wild fruit, a rock
to throw, a wilderness view to
look at.” The distinguished edu
cator further declared “The
principle of preservation is act
ing in the lowering of the death
rate and the increase in the span
of useful human life.”
Finally, Dr. Cain declared that
“conservation in this third phase
of its unfolding extends the eco
logical approach from nature

without man to nature with man
in a central position, not ego

so as to face the second half of
the twentieth century in the role
that is worthy of him.”

which makes him a bit of a tastrel!
