FIELD : AND : STREAM BY JACK WHITE “To ride, shoot straight, and speak the This was the ancient Law of Youth, Old times are past, old days are » done; But the Law runs true, O little Son!" The above quotation of Char- les T. Davis could nover be more appropriate than in this modern age, The form of riding has chang- ed noteably from horseback to automobile, jeep, tote-goat, ete, but the other concepts have ne- ver changed, To shoot straight, be it with a gun or words, and to tell the truth have and. always will be one of the most important laws we can forcibly, or rather forcefully pass on to our children today, Today. with the ever short- ening work week and with it, of necessity, the ever increasing need for more and more facilities for outdoor recreation we must take a much closer and examining look at our great outdoors, Have wo set aside enough land for park areas, for an ever increasing out. door-minded population? . Are our park areas being pro- Rerly taken care of?’ That is, are they being left in thelr natural state, Or, are they being exploited by commercial interests in logging, mining, ete? What are their dollar return ‘potentials, strictly from the recre.’ ation stand points?

Should parks be set aside with no hunting allowed at all? Should controlled hunting be allowed in national parks? That is when and where competent game Mountain Ski Club would have.a huge area set aside as a future park because of a possible potential as a future. ski hill. ‘That is, if the new highway goes close cnough to make access economically feasi- ble. Whether thoy have weighed the future effect this might have on the hunting of this area or not, I am not in the Position to know. But this application to set ‘aside an area to the East as park land along with Mr. Thorp's ridi- culous idea of having the entire Cascade areca to the south sct aside would soon leave the out- door recreation facilities of this area vastly impaired. All we would need would be to have Celgar clamp down on their access roads in their forestry management li. cense and this portion of the West Kootenays would be non-existant as a hunting potential. If it- does not it should make you think. Therefore I contend that the time for regional planning and control in: the fields of outdoor living is long overdue. ‘We have a, Department of Re- creation and Conservation within set up. Now is the have park areas are being overgrazed, thro- ugh too rapid a growth in wildlife time this department’s scope and horizons’ should be quickly and a con- trolled ‘kill is necessary for both maintenance of wildlife and vege- tation. These and a thousand other questions come to mind as I see the ever increasing demands com. ing forth in this our own small district.
