America’s Wildlife is Not Threatened
By Use of Chemicals as Pesticides
Use of chemicals as pesticides (
by farmers, homeowners and ;
others has posed no serious or 1
permanent threat thus far to <
America’s wildlife, according s
to the National Academy of i
Science. In fact the known i
impact of pesticide use on wild- (
life has been considerably less c
than that caused by other <
everyday activities of man. :
These are the conclusions of 1
two reports issued recently in
Washington. D.C. by the Aca- j

Council. Committee on Pest

The Academy established the 1
committeee in an effort to de- 1
velop scientific and impartial <
information on this public is- 1
sue that had produced much '
controversy. Goals were to
study the impact of the in- j
creasing use of agricultural ,
chemicals on wildlife and to .
propose ways to minimize pos- |
sible dangers to wildlife by ,
such chemicals. ,
Wildlife ownership is vested ;
in the State, despite the fact
that some wildlife is now pro- ;
duced and maintained on pri- i
vately-owned land, some of
which is largely agricultural
land in nature.
Pesticides, the Committee
notes, are “a modern necessity”
in agriculture, forestry, and
public health protection. It is
important, however, to make
every effort to keep wildlife
losses to a minimum.
To prevent misapplication,
however, the committee urges
adequate training for all in
volved in pest control pro
blems. It suggests that operat

STEPOVICH WANTS TO KNOW
WHERE ALASKA ROADS ARE
“Where are all the roads we
were promised this summer?”
Mike Stepovich asked recently
just before leaving Fairbanks
for a campaign trip to the Ke
nai Peninsula and Kodiak
areas.
“The whole trouble with the
road program is in planning.
The Egan highway department
operates only in reverse —
when it moves at all. The bull- !
dozers, backhoes and carry- !
alls should have been working j

winter is just a couple of
months away.
“But this summer’s road fi
asco isn’t too surprising, con
sidering that Egan has accom
plished nothing with roads in
any of the past three years,
either,” Stepovich concluded.
Stepovich, a Fairbanks resi

nomination for governor at the
August 14 primary.
