THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Hugh Barnhart, New Director, Learned Conservation When He Was a Young Man

By JOE COLLIER

The late Col. Isaac W. Brown wore a major league beard which he industriously waggled for hours on end talking about birds. if not the earliest, certainly he was one of the most articulate friend the birds ever had in this State, and for a time he expanded his operations to take in the whole nation. No journey was too long for him to take if the result was to be a new audience, and thus new friends for the birds. One reason distance was no object was because young Hugh A. Barnhart, new Conservation Department director, generally drove the venerable naturalist to his appointment. Naturally, it was: from the Colonel that Mr. Barnhart, at an age so impressionable that he still is a member of the Audubon Society, learned about the Colonel’s pets. One time, Mr. Barnhart recalls, the Colonel, who was quite a character, called up Mr, Barnhart’s father, then Ccngressman Henry A. Barnhart of the old 13th district, and suggested that they go together to some gathering or other scheduled in the State.

“Henry, Let's Go”

“Henry,” he said, perfectly seriously, “you get the car and Hugh and let's go. You speak five minutes on the flag and I'll speak for an hour and a half on birds.” Mr. Barnhart doesn’t remember distinctly, but he thinks they went, Years later, Mr. leading light in the Audubon Society's project to dedicate a beautiful marker to the memory of Colonel Brown. As Mr, Barnhart grew up and became active in affairs in his native Rochester, he learned to know Col. Richard Lieber, then head of the Indiana Conservation Department. Mr. Lieber had in mind a project that would create a State park along the Tippecanoe River and he enlisted Mr. Barnhart’s aid in “seiling” the idea. Although

Letters to Government Warn That ‘Something Must Be Done.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (U. P.) —| The Office of Price Administration | and Civilian Supply disclosed today that consumer protests against zooming food and clothing costs jumped 100 per cent in July over the June total. The OPACS Consumers’ Division said that public resentment against mounting prices was directed at retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers or simply “the Government.” The agency, however, failed to affirm or deny reports that it was planning to “freeze” prices on food and clothing to protect the consuming public. Letters Are Cited

The OPACS cited these letters: Ft. Bustis, Va.—"Today I drove to Yorktown, Williamsburg and stopped at several highway restaurants; they are charging 15 and 20 cents for dime beer. Since last Thursday hot dogs have gone up from 5 to 10 cents.” Lubbock, Tex.—"“Please do not think I am a busybody, but I do hate to see our good American people, who are trying to buy bonds and willing to sacrifice our boys if | necessary, to let some dad-blasted | food merchant . . . get rich through our bellies.” Newark, N. J—"We use a great deal of canned tomate juice—our dealer told us we had better buy | two or three cases as there was gojing to be a shortage. That is g | ridiculous and should be stopped.”

Somebody Do Something

Oklahoma City, Okla —"If there isn't something done about unnecessary price raises among wholesale and retail merchants. (all over the U. S. A) we are going to have a wonderful surplus of food products in a few months’ time.” Portland, Ore.—"“In Portland, the speculative rise in meat products started with the retailers—not with the packers, but it only took them

the project never quite jelled, Mr. Barnhart was thus associated with the early, or park acquisition and development, phase of con=servation in Indiana. He has lost interest in this, and only this week returned a bit wide-eyed from Lincoln City to talk enthusiastically about that historical park, envisioning a time

And there's one thing in the

conservation Ime that's been kicked around for years now, because a lack of funds, that Mr. Barnhart has a red hot interest in—water conservation. This year's drought has dramas= tized the need for it, but Mr. Barnhart says he has long been interested in the problem. He personally thinks that the water table is falling because of having drained the Kankakee

swamp years ago, because farmers are draining little swamps every= where, because so many trees have been cut down, and because of other abuses of nature that tended to unbalance it. He thinks that’s true, but he admits he dosen’t KNOW that it's true. He's willing to listen to other theories of the why and

remedies, but he knows that these | theorists, also, don't KNOW they |

are right.

For years, now, the Legislature
