By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
PROGRESS IN GAME AND FISH
T’M not the resolution type, so when New Years rolls
around I don’t behave like a lot of people I know.
Instead of making a set of rules (which will be broken
" think in terms of decades and centuries.
The first clue I have toward pro
gress is the fact that last year sales of hunting and
fishing licenses reached the million dollar mark for the
first time in history. A total of 589,293 licenses were
sold for a total revenue of $1,028,628.95. This, of course,
indicates that more Georgians are hunting and fishing
than ever before.
It is impossible to record all the progress that has been
made by the Game and Fish Commission but here’s a brief
attempt.
Fish Management Progresses
A more universal and intense fish management pro
gram has been set up to cope with the increasing number
of fishermen. During last year, a fish survey was initiated
to determine the number and species of fish in the state.
Also, 8,000 private ponds were stocked with fish from
the Commission’s hatcheries. Now, there are over 40,000
farm ponds offering many hours of fishing pleasure to
the public.
This demand on hatcheries set off a renovation program
for existing facilities and the construction of a new one.
The Steve Cocke hatchery, located in Dawson, was con
structed to supply southwest Georgia wih fish. In addition,
$50,000 was set aside for expansion of the Lake Burton
hatchery and an additional $35,000 for improving the Sum
merville hatchery.
Game Management Advances
Game management technicians report that there is
more game in Georgia than ever before. •As a research
project, the Commission allotted $25,000 to. study the possi
bilities of a new game bird, the coturnix or Japanese quail.
During last year, three game management areas were
set up and deer and turkey stocking programs begun.
These areas will be open for public hunting within the
next five years.
Georgia entered into a cooperative deer disease study
program with 12 other southeastern states and a project
to determine the effects of Timber Stand Improvement on
squirrel populations was inaugurated.
One of the most important progressive moves was made
in the field of personnel. Since the Game and Fish Com
mission adopted the merit system for its employees, wages
were increased and the qualifications for wildlife rangers
were raised to include as prerequisites at least a high
school education, a knowledge of conservation laws and
court procedures and the ability to work with the public.
This is by no means all, merely a cross-section.
Georgia has made great strides in conservation over
the past year. But it can’t end here. There is still work
to be done and it can only be accomplished through more
research programs, better improvement and better enforce
ment of conservation laws.
This can not be done by one person alone. To insure
future game and fish populations to meet the needs of
tomorrow’s sportsmen requires the diligence and coopera
tion of every Georgian.

the progress the Game and Fish Com

There can never be too much progress

THE GRADES MADE by
Georgians on the Civil Service
examination given those seeking
appointment to the service acad
emies brought home with a jolt the
failure of our vaunted American
educational system to prepare our
youths for competition in a world
in scientific revolution.
The 35 young men certified by
me to take the exam represented a
| true cross sec
| tion of Georgia
and all had had
| the advantage
of the fullest
' educational op
portunity. Yet
only seven
I scored passing
MH jfl grades and none
posted a mark higher than 75. Only
13 made more than 60 and 11 aver
aged less than 50. Os the 26 com
peting for nomination to the Air
Force Academy only two passed
algebra and only 10 vocabulary.
On the algebra portion of the quiz,
14 made less than 40. The only con
solation which Georgians can take
is that most other Senators report
similarly-poor grades on the part
of applicants from their states.
* • *
THESE RESULTS REFLECT
not upon the boys but rather upon
the system of which they are the
product. The unpleasant truth is
that over the last quarter of a
century the practitioners of so
called progressive education, in
their preoccupation with the ad
justment of the individual, have
substituted the right to march in
a commencement procession for the
right to an education.

Union Bag-Camp
Again Offering
3 Scholarships
Three four-year scholarships
enabling young Georgians to
study forestry in college are be
ing offered again this year by
Union Bag-Camp' Paper Corpor
ation, large pulp and paper man
ufacturer in Savannah, Ga.
Each of the three grants is
worth up to SI,OOO a year for
four years. They will be awarded
on a competitive basis to high
school graduates who are resi
dents of Georgia, and will cover
the college year beginning next
fall.
The scholarships are good at
any accredited forestry school *in
the eastern half of the United
States subject to the approval
of the Scholarships Awards Com
mittee.
To be eligible a candidate for
the scholarship must be a Geor
gia resident, a high school grad
uate with outstanding scholastic
and extra-curricular records, and
“vitally interested in pursuing
the profession of forestry as a
career.’’ Once, awarded, the
grants will be renewable each
year for four years if satisfactory
scholistic work is maintained.
Applicants must not have mat
riculated at a junior college or
school above high school level.
Two of the three grants may
be awarded to FFA members
and or 4-H Club members, pro
vided these applicants meet the
requirements. But they will be
made irrespective of which youth
group the applicant belongs to,
and the third scholarship will
go to a Georgian not necessarily
a member of 4-H or FFA.
Deadline for receiving appli
cations is March 15, and results
of the judging will be announced
by April 15. All judging will be
done by a scholarship committee
composed of two representatives
of Union Bag-Camp and the For
estry School deans of the Uni
versity of Georgia, University of
Florida, and Alabama Polytech
nic Institute.
Complete details regarding the
scholarships and application
blanks may be obtained by writ

“LIFE IS MOSTLY FROTH AND BUBBLE, TWO THINGS
STANDS LIKE STONE—KINDNESS IN ANOTHER’S TROUBLE,
COURAGE IN OUR OWN. ...” A. L. Gordon
Trouble, unfortunately, is a commodity which never seems to
be in short supply; at one time or another we all have our share
of it. And it is when trouble hits us headon that we can all
deeply appreciate the kindnesses which usually are readily
forthcoming from many sources. These kindnesses, whether they
take the form of spiritual and moral uplift, financial aid or
friendly and sincere counsel, help immeasurably in taking the
sting out of our troubles.
Courage on our own part in times of stress is a necessity if
we are to sensibly and rationally plan a solution to our mis
fortune and go about the very necessary though dreary task
of making the most of a situation as it stands today and re
building with determination for tomorrow.

Thb theorists have shifted em
phasis from required application in
mastering the three R’s to free
choice of subjects by the pupil —
that choice more often being social
science and handicraft than math,
physics or chemistry. And therein
have been produced the high school
graduates whom our colleges find
mathematically and scientifically
illiterate, unable to spell or write
a simple esSay and ignorant of any
foreign language and barely pro
ficient in their own.
* « *
IN RUSSIA A student completes
high school after 10 years of study
and in that time receives 1,353
hours of classroom and laboratory
instruction in the sciences and nine
years of training in one foreign
language and six years in another.
In the United States where second
ary education extends through 12
years, it is possible to graduate
without taking either and those
one-third who do avail themselves
of such studies receive, at a maxi
mum, only 756 hours in science and
three years in one language.
The warning in this to the United
States was well stated recently by
one of America’s 'foremost scien
tists and scholars, Rear Admiral
Hyman G. Rickover—father of the
atomic submarine—in these words:
“The Scientific Revolution is
upon us and we have not pre
pared to meet its ever-spiralling
demands. The launching of the
Sputnik was a providential warn
ing; we will disregard this warn
ing at our peril.”

the largest
construction program
in our history
IT TAKES MONEY, as well as men, machines and
materials, to bring more electric power to you.
In 1958 the Georgia Power Company will
spend nearly $59 million in expanding and
improving its facilities. This is an increase
of about $7 million over last year’s record
expenditure. It represents the largest outlay
the company ever has made for construction
in a single year.
New power plants are being built. Existing
plants are being expanded. Nearly 900 miles
of transmission and distribution lines will be
constructed.
Georgians “Live Better Electrically.” Each
year they use more and more kilowatt-hours.
There is plenty of low-cost, dependable elec
tricity for them to use. There will be plenty
more in the future.
