New Organization to Give

State Conservation Help

Definite Plan of Action to Be Drafted by Lovers of Outdoor Life. This, is the first of t*o articles on th* plan for scientific and Just conservation of the state s outdoor life, written bv one of Indiana s best-know n leadera in the movement. BV WILLIAM F. COLLINS In any well-regulated business, it is necessary to know its destination before its executives can plan for i its arrival. Sportsmen representing ' the Izaak Walton League, the Fish, Forest and Game League, the Fox Hunters’ Association, the Audubon Society, or nature study clubs, can develop and pass resolutions by the ream directed to the government, but if the government itself has not been co-ordinated to carry out a definite plan of conservation, these well thought-out plans miscarry. The windup of such haphazard effort plainly is visible in the majority of our states. Some dominating conservation club is used by the political party in power to build up an organization useful for its vote and in turn it is given some fancied privilege. The clubs on the outside grow resentful and precipitate a firstclass fight, that eventually embitters a whole state. Club lines up against club, personality against personality, and the net result is the nadir of accomplishment. Strife in This State Indiana has not escaped the bitterness of factional dispute; in fact, a well-organized minority of sportsmen of the state has kept the conservation department in hot water for nine years. So wide did the breach become, in fact, the nobleness of the cause of conservation was lost sight of by its most earnest advocates, who devoted most of their spare moments in the rather doubtful pastime of kicking the other fellows’ clog. The young generation now at the helm of our state conservation department, each one an ardent advocate of the outdoors, never has, to my knowledge, been involved in any argument over Indiana past policies regarding plans to save Indiana for future generations and to make it a better place to live in now. So they start with a fresh slate and anew pencil to outline for the coming four years a plan upon which all may agree. Some of us want, state parks, others want fish. Those who want neither demand bird hunting, while their neighbor wants all birds placed on the song bird list. There are those who believe that every man who carries a shotgun is a bum, while the shooter points with pride that no man who smokes a pipe, carries a gun afield, and loves his bird dog ever has been convicted of a major crime. Organizations Planned Surely, thinks this new administration, while we can not be all things to all men, we at least can foster a plan to bring the different factions together on the common

DRUGGIST RECEIVES NEW DEATH THREAT Second Warning Within Week Given Northsider. Second death threat within a week, this time by phone, was received Friday night by Michael Lobraico, 6115 Carrollton avenue, who operates a pharmacy at 902 Riviera drive. Monday, Lobraico received a crudely-written typed note, demanding $2,000 on threat of bombing Lobraico’s home. The letter promised the writer would communicate with Lobraico later. Friday night, Lobraico received a phone call asking, "What do you intend to do when I come around after the money?” Lobraico retorted that he intended to “take a pop" at anybody who "came around.” “You must think this is a joke,” snapped the mysterious caller. • Sure, I thinx it's a joke,” said Lobraico. “Well, I’ll be seing you then,” was the final word of the voice which Lobraico said sounded like that of a foreigner. MOTHERS’ SERVICE SET Reservations Made for 5,000 at Tabernacle on Sunday. Reservations have been made for 5.000 mothers to attend the special Mother's Day service Sunday, which will open a series of evangelistic. meetings at the Cadle Tabernacle.

W. F. Collins ground of conservation, and by listening to a representative voice do what is needed with the money available to carry a well, rounded out plan to completion. It is planned to develop in each county a central committee of outdoor clubs. This committee will name a representative to meet with representatives from the other counties in his congressional district. This immediately boils down 355,OGO clamoring voices of just those men and women alone who buy hunting fishing licenses t > nintytwo. In turn, these ninety-two men, each representing nis home county, will appoint a state liaison committee of the whole consisting of twelve men, one from each congressional district, * who will cary the news to the conservation officials. I have estimated that there are more than 500,000 Indiana men and women who go afield some time during the year to follow their respective outdoor hobbys. The thoughts of this vast army will be made articulate to the new conservation department heads by their twelve apostles of the outdoors. Will Ease Eviction Friction will not be eliminated, but the destructive heat of friction will be. It will be easier to oil the machine of controversy if the oil holes are reduced to twelve and they are known to lead to the huge underlying bearing. It is a worth while plan, of interest to every one in the state. Like some of the experiments of the national administration, this plan never has been tried, but any plan is better than no plan, especally now. I have come to know and love Indiana for its kindly people and its rustic, peaceful charm. The opportunities presented to us for preserving the state in all things appealing to our youngsters and without which character and manhood can not be fully developed is at hand. No one ever heard of character being developed in a city alley.

By United Press WABASH, Ind., May 13.—A truck load of 3.2 beer, a muddy road, an accident, and an impromptu party resulted in Lloyd Armstrong being fined $1 and costs on a intoxication charge here. Armstrong left Ft. Wayne with 100 cases of beer, en route to Indianapols. He left the direct route, a paved state road, and started down a dirt side road near here. The truck wallowed along a short distance and overturned. In a few minutes, Armstrong said, several persons had gathered and began drinking the wrecked cargo. His protests went unheeded so he joined them. When the sheriff arrived he found twenty cases of beer missing, fifteen cases of empty bottles, and Armstrong.

GANDHI WEAK. CONDITION GOOD - * No Complications Arise From Fast, Assert Five Doctors. By United Press POONA, India. May 13.—Fiv* physicians examined Mahatma M. K. Gandhi today and found h.s physical condition comparatively good. They issued the following bulletin: “Gandhi slept eleven hours during the last 24 hours. Nausea still is present but is not troublesome. Gandhi is weak, but there are no complications. His blood pressure is inclined to rise, and he was advised to avoid exertion." The doctors examined the little independence leader in the marble palace of a disciple where he entered the fifth day of his projected twenty-first day fast in behalf of India's untouchables.
