For those who doubt that such an organization has its place in the scheme of our economy or our manner of living as a whole, the best answer that wc can give comes from David A. Aylward, president of the National Wildlife Federation. His comment, "Our Wildlife Today," follows: A generation of Americans have passed their lives under the shadows of world crises and destruction. Resources, both human and natural, have been subjected to exploitation and excessive demands. The one bright spot in the picture is the fact that man may manage those resources as he sees fit. That he has not always managed wisely is only too evident. It is very different with our wildlife. They are dependent for their continued existence on the whim of mankind. Industry has crowded out their natural homes. Splendid forests and wood lands where wildlife once flourished in abundance have fallen to commercial interests. Waters once crystal clear have been turned to dumping grounds for all kinds of waste or are choked by silt from denuded lands. Our birds, fish and animals need natural cover and food, places to rest, clear water in which to 1 live and undisturbed areas whew they may breed or nest without 1 fear. Far from being just an incidental product of the land and I water, wildlife is one of America's most essential and valuable . organic natural resources. Its part in the whole structure of nature through its continuous destruction of insects, rodents and undesirable weeds and plants is only too well known, even though frequently unappreciated by m*ny. It plays a part further in the propagation of plants and trees through the dropping of countless seeds by birds in flight The conservation of wildlife is a bis business. There are more than 20,000.000 people who hunt and fish They contribute more than SO million dollars to the state and federal official agencies engaged in the management of wildlife. The unofficial caasefoation agencies and organizations spend many trillions of dollars more in their effort to preserve and restore our wildlife. Millions of people enjoy the national parks and other recreational areas. The total outdoor bill for sportsmen alone well, exceeds four billion dollars a year. Add to this the vacation expenditures and the gross outlay of the American people in the pursuit of enjoyment and recreation mounts to a figure between six and seven billion dollars. Song and insectivorous birds are estimated to lave more than 300 million dollars worth of crops every year. They are worth protecting. Ducks, geese, pheasants, other upland game birds, deer, elk, antelope, and other four-footed animals ? large and small, and fish all play an important part In our outdoor pleasure and all arc worth protecting. The attraction and beauty that wildlife brings into the world can never be fully evaluated. It is also a crop that produces a major source of revenue for America's economy. Its continued existence is irrevocably tied in with the way we manage our soil, water and timber. If we waste our aoil, we lose the source of our plant life so essential for food and cover for bird sand aaimals. The destruction of our forests and pollution of waters brings a leas of natural habitat without which wildlife cannot survive. This year ? while (he ugly menace of scarcity still darkens the toorM ? America should bend every energy towards the better ment of Its natural resources. Soil conservation, forestry manage ment, and the cleaning up of our waters should be "musts" on everyone's list TJie wise management of these basic resources will, in themselves, do much to maintain our wildlife. Good farm ing practice* encourage wildlife through plantings of fence raws and farm woods, of plants to chcck erosion that are attractive to wildlife, ihe construction of farm ponds to aid in holding water. Pereat management will keep us supplied with valuable timber Iqr replanting, and managed cutting, and a protecting cover for the forest floor. This can be so planned that it will give food and shelter to many forms of wildlife. Oar waterways are tragically ia need of public support. Aquatic life ot all kinds has disappeared from many rivers be cause of industrial and domestic waste disposal. Adequate flood control is still a long way from established fact and lack of it results in a aorious loss of good top soil, as well as a serious economic and human lou. If w? want to continue to enjoy our freedom and security, H ia ef first importance to safeguard our fundamental resources through wise management and to recognise that each ia a part of the whole.

STATE AND FEDERAL PES50NNEL AMD TUB ARMED SERVICE* Raleigh oundup By Gula Nixon Greenwood | RALEIGH CALLING WASHING-! TON ... As close as sweethearts dancing in the moonlight were Washington and Kaleigh last week as staid and steady old North Caro lina suddenly found herself wafted into the forefront of liberal thought in America. Like school kids yelling over the back fence, several states within recent years have played the game of "I can be more liberal than you can." Now with Dr. Frank Graham holding down one of our U. S. Senate scats, we can be just as liberal as any of them. The White Jious? wy kept infsrnted of developments for several days prior to the appointment. Presi dent Harry Truman himaelf con tacted Haleigh the night thfe ap pointment was made public. THE REACTION . . . Reports reaching Raleigh plus an informal survey made by this column in several sections of the State indi cate that organized labor was de lighted with the appointment of Dr. Gi>aham to fill the big seat left vacant by the death of J. M. Broughton. The educated Neg roes like it, too, but the others don't know Frank Graham from sand and have little interest In it. School teachers, as a whole, seem to be very much pleased with the appointment. Farmers are ap parently disinterested. In the main, the political lead ers of the towns, counties, and of the State think the appointment ie "a hell of a note," whatever that means. Business men ? small and large ? say they are getting rather used to being surprised by Governor Scott and merely shake their heads. Virtually every editor in North 1 Carolina who took the time and ' space to comment on it (and most of them did) commended Governor Scott on his choice. BRAINTRUSTERS ... Of those < in the running for the position, Mate Democratic Chairman Capus Waynick was the first to learn that Dr. Prank was the man if he would take it. Then he slipped up te Washington to obtain sup port fro* that end of the line. Jonathan Daniels, State Democra tic National Committeeman, and his assistant editorial scribbler for the Raleigh News and Observer, Robert L. (Fleet) Williams, are regarded as the men largely res ponsible for Governor Scott's giv ing the nod to Dr. Frank Graham. However, neither Charlie Parker, Sccflt's pleasant and personable secretary, nor Waynick must be left out of the picture. P. S. Don't be surprised if Da niels or Waynick ? or both ? come up with a Truman appoint ment. They have sent to Harry one. of his most ardent followers ? at a time when he is sorely need ed. SOCIAL NOTE ... Mr. and Mrs. R. Gregg Cherry of Gastonia spent last Friday night in the hong of Mr. and Mrs. W. Kerr Scott or Ra leigh. UNHAPPY . . . Many close friends of Dr. Frank Graham are very much surprised and disappointed that he decided to accept the ap pointment as U. S. Senator, feel ing that his decision will result only in Unhappiness for him. If he follows Senator Hubert Hum phrey, the wild-eyed gentleman from Minnesota, Senator Claude Pepper of Florida and that ultra liberal crew, North Carolina will demand his scalp and get it. On the other hand, if he runs with men like Senator Clyde R. Hoey and the other middle-of-the-road ers, his conscience will constantly berate him, for he is not a for votes liberal, but a sincere liberal and his going in any other direc tion will cause him mental suffer ing. NOTES . . . The strangest lobby here is the one trying to get a law passed to permit trucks to carry heavier loads on North Carolina highways .... It is easy to know when Winston-Salem is interested is legislation, for Raleigh is im mediately filled with U. S. Grant beards and ' what-have-you's ?

He is expected to complete arrangements for moving to Brevard next week. Al though he and Governor Scott had numerous tiffs while Scott was Agriculture Commissioner, they have done a lot ot rabbit-and dove hunting together and are parting on relatively good terms. Although Deyton was regarded as a Charles Johnson man. his younger brother. C. P. Deyton. was in charge of Scott's finances during the early weeks of his campaign last sum mer. Deyton's leaving wont be any help to Nathan Yelton, his cousin who is in charge of the State Retirement System. He was supposed to be a Johnson follower too. but not of the enthusiastic variety. SUGAR PLUM , . . Bob Deyton's leaving drops another sugar plum appointment into the Governor's lap.

KOAD BOND ... The Mate Senate has virtually fixed it ao that the people will not be able to vote on the 9200.000,000 road bond isaue, unless a one -cent tax Increase is attached to It.

This first set of conferee* will likely not tie able_to come to an agreement will be reached, and the Legislature will adjourn. This hill is the bellwether. WINE-BEER WHISKEY ... The beer people, crying "sneaky Pate," are pointing angry fingers at the wine folks for the sorry plight they find themselves in these days. And the tfrape crushers are looking just as hard at the brew ers. Each group knows it is on a hot seat and each is blaming the other. Both of them are looking envious daggers at whiskey. Con fidentially, they are of the opinloq that they would be faring much better if they had the financial strength and political support with which the ABC system is blessed. They still have hopes that the Legisiatare will somehow assist them in salvaging at least some thing from the ruins brought oh by county votes. Keep an eye on, this during the next two weeks. Capers White, brother of Dairy man Geo. L. H. White and-'just as fine a man, is the wine fronter while Sam Blount of Washington. N. C? is the brewer's bat boy. They want to get tinder the ABC system or into something just as popular and powerful. ~ WHAT ABOUT IT? . . .
