Government May Soon Extend Protective Wing Over Predators Washington ? The Federal Government may soon extend a protective wing over America's predators, long - maligned animals that are coming to be recognized as assets rather than pests. Wolves, coyotes, bobcats, lynx, bears, "and otliei laige carnivores have been persecut ed since Europeans first came to American shores. Destruction of predators was a natural consequence of the gradual settlement of the nation and the growth of agriculture and animal husbandry, the Na tional Geographic Society says. Sheep, poultry, and cattle men regarded them as enemies de serving no pity. WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION Indiscriminate killing through trapping, shooting, and wholesale poisoning became the order of the day. Professional hunters were able to earn a living from bounties paid by counties and states for the animals' pelts, ears, or tails. As a result, the wolf has become almost extinct In the48 contiguous states, surviving In appreciable numbers only In Alaska and parts of neighboring Canada. The remarkably adopt able coyote has managed to persist, but In many places has been driven from Its tradition al habitat Into unaccustomed territory. Bobcats and bears have hpcnmt* so rare that they will require nearly complete pro tection tf they are to survive. Predators are persecuted not only because they kill and eat domestic animals. They are held responsible, by some hunt ers, for decreases in the num bers of game animals, such as deer, antelope, and birds. Yet, a large body of evidence suggests that the main diet of most predators consists of rats, mice, gophers, and other small rodents whose numbers, If left uncontrolled, could become much more serious pests than the predators themselves. Ranchers In the Rocky Moun tains, beset by exploding rodent populations, have come to ap preciate the value of the coyote and, in some areas, haveform ed voluntary associations to protect It from poisoning. "SCALE OF VALUES" A report to the Secretary of the Interior made recently by the Advisory Board on Wild' life Management pointed out that predator control "as actually practiced today Is considerably In excess of the amount that can be Justified In terms of total public interest." The same report, calling for a reevaluatlon oT the Federfl control program, states that "for every person whose sheep may be molested by a coyote there are perhaps a thousand others who would thrill to hear to coyote chorus In the night. Control programs generally fall to cope with this sliding scale of values." Congressman John D. Dlngell (D-Mlchlgan), speaking In the House of Representatives In support of a bill to establish a national policy with respect to predators, said: "There was a time when the destruction of predators was thought to be a way to wild game abundance, but this Idea has been thoroughly exploded by modern wildlife research. It Is now recognized that natural predatlon actually plays abene ficlal role In maintaining the health of such species as deer, rabbits, and the game birds, weeding the diseased and unfit from the game populations." Eskimos, who consider the wolf a spiritual relative, have long been aware of this. Accord ing to Eskimo thinking, "The wolf and the caribou are one; for the caribou feeds the wolf,' but It Is the wolf who keeps the caribou strong." Warren Students Named To Honor Councils At ECC Two former students at John Graham High School have been chosen as members of the honor councils at East Carolina Col lege at Greenville. Nancy Kay Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Wil son of Macon has been select ed to the Women's Honor Coun cil, and William Hunter Clark, son of W. E.
