LIVING WITH THE UNO
Trom the National Wildlife Federation Washington 12, D.C.
This is National Wildlife Week! It is an occasion for thought
ful appraisal of our progress in learning to live with the land.
At a time in history when nations and peoples of the world
are divided into military alliances, the significance of Man’s rela
tionship to his lands — soil, water, plants and animals — is often
times not easy for us to see. We forget that depletion of these re
sources has been the source of most conflicts between peoples.
We face an alarming acceleration of world population growth.
Since 1945, some 300 million people have been added to the earth’s
numbers.
With each person’s allotment of space on earth shrinking by
the second, shouldn’t we in this country give some careful thought
to the problem of taking care of the resources which statisfy our
living needs? Perhaps this is too much to expect from a people who
enjoy the world’s highest living standard and the many “creature
comforts” which rich lands and the age of automation have pro
vided.
This year’s National Wildlife Week theme, “Homes for Wildlife”,
iocuses our attention on the requirement of wildlife for proper
.Hiving places where food, cover and protection from weather and
enemies is provided in proper combinations. But, like us, our birds
and fish, mammals and other wild creatures depend on soil, water
and plants to live. Without these they will perish. Healthy, well
cared for lands, mean bountiful crops of wild animals; they can
also mean prosperous and healthy people.
Modem man faces destruction from two sources: ((1) warfare
"waged with all of the violence of the atom and micro-organism;
<£2) the destruction of the basic resources which provide food for
&ls table, clothing for his body, and other necessities for living.
His ability to learn to live with and care for the land may
determine his'success or failure in learning to live with other peoples
oaf the world.
f THE ROCKING CHAIR MUSE
' By Bob Klem
Plainly invisible, all of the day,
Is the gremlin named Brian O’Flarity Fey
; While my cat’s name is Omar Abdula Comyear
He’s the only darn thing that O’Flarity fears.
O’Flarity “Bless him,” one moment will think
It the rarest of sport to paint my whiskers pink
While Omar, Old Omar Abdula, not he!
For whiskers to cats add to their dignity.
I doze in the evening, by my bit of fire
A.bdula he climbs on my lap and says “Sire!”
'“‘Once more there’s a gremlin, that you should attend”
For Brian O’Flarity’s braggin’ again.
Blarney! Such blarney! O'Flarity knows!
He tells me that shamrocks all smell like the rose.
- \ In the old days of Erin, Begora says he
They often made kings out of square heads like me.

A bill providing for a right of
