'Wildlife Week' Spotlights Need
For Outdoor Recreation in Future
By R. N. Howard, Ranger
Waycross District
State Game & Fish Commission
March 15-21 has been declared “Na
tional Wildlife Week,” the theme be
ing “America Needs Outdoor Recre
ation, Act Now to Provide for the
Future.”
Not so many years ago, wildlife in
wonderful variety was abundant in
America. Animals, birds and fish
were present in numbers almost be
yond belief. Wildlife was so abundant
tnat settlers had trouble finding
words to describe it. This wildlife
made a large contribution to the es
tablishment of the new world econo
my. Pioneers were dependent on wild
game for food while clearing land
and getting settled in the new coun
try. Such was the pattern during the
entire settlement of the United
States.
There were reasons for the early
abundance of game, birds and fish.
Wildlife populations are modified as
habitat changes and varies in abund
ance according to climate, soil, fer
tility, water conditions, and altitudes.
With fine cover and plenty of food,
and with a minimum of hunting pres
sure from Indian tribes, wildlife
flourished in the new country.
But then we started to change the
face of America. Forest were cut
down, prairies were plowed, sheep
and cattle were pastured on the
plains, and swamps and marshes
were drained for more land. These
things were done to make a richer
and better life for the people. But
what we did also changed our wild
life, as well as our land. With these
changes, wildlife began to decrease
in numbers.
The passenger pigeon, which had a
population in the billions 150 years
ago, is extinct. The whooping crane
faces extinction. Buffgio almost dis
appeared from the scene.
Too much killing is not the whole
story. Fewer homes for wildlife is
also an important part of the story.
All animals have to have places to
live. Different animals need differ
ent kinds of homes. When man uti
lizes the land to produce food and
fiber needed to support him, he also
brings a change to wildlife environ
ment.
The economic importance of our
wildlife resources cannot be stressed
highly enough. Today, more than
twenty-five million Americans hunt
and fish annually. They spend over
three billion dollars each year in
pursuit of fish and game.. One in
every three house-holds in the U. S.
in 1955 had one or more fishermen or
hunters. The development of our
wildlife resources is big business in
the United States, and the demand
for more production of fish and game
increases with each passing day.
The shorter work week and more
leisure time will enable more people
to seek recreation in the outdoors.
More and more sportsmen are tak
ing to the field each year. Wildlife
managers are continually faced with
the task of sustaining wildlife popu
lations in such quantity so as to in
sure recreation for the greatest
number. It is estimated that the
population of the United States will
be 343 million people by the year
2000.
The figure represents twice the
present population of our country. We
must realize the significance of this
population increase. People will re
quire more homes, food, clothing,
living space, and other necessities of
life. Wise and careful utilization of
our natural resources is a must.
There are many ways in which the
game and fish department manages
wildlife resources. One of these is
through hunting regulations. As long
as men have hunted in Georgia,
wildife has belonged to the people.
Since wildlife belongs to all, hunt
ing is controlled through the or
ganization charged with managing
wildlife for the common benefit.
The welfare of wildlife hinges on
complete protection during the nest
ing and breeding seasons, and on a
controlled harvest of the annual
game crop during the hunting and
fishing seasons. Wildlife is always
benefited by good hunting laws, effi
cient enforcement of those laws and
t sympathy with the laws by the pub^
’ lie and the courts.

In The Superior Court of Brantley
County:
With giant strides the South marches forward.
More industries’ More people! More tourists! More
income! And —far more automobiles, requiring
hundreds of millions of gallons of petroleum
products each year.
To match this growth, we have recently completed
construction of America’s most modern oil refinery
at Pascagoula.
Covering 26db'acres, this refinery is fed with crude
oil from the Gulf Coast fields through the longest
underwater pipeline in the world. With a capacity
in excess of 100,000 barrels a day ... it is one of the
world’s largest refineries.
This new refinery embraces all of the latest
technology of oil refining— particularly in the
production of more powerful automotive gasolines.
These completely new Standard Oil gasolines
are on their way to you now. Try them at your
Standard Oil dealer’s, soon.
Our new Gulf Coast refinery is another example of
Standard Oil’s planning ahead to serve the South.
