(Bill) Stuckey Jr. of Georgia’s Eighth District has this week praised President Nixon’s statement to the nation declaring he would immediately challenge the indiscriminate busing of school children. “The people’s voices have finally been heard,” Stuckey said. “And, the President has acknowledged what we in the South have known from the beginning - that busing has not and will not accomplish its intended goal.” Stuckey said he felt that the President’s statement was “directly to the point.” However, he added that a moratorium as mentioned by Mr. Nixon “must not be restricted to new busing plans alone but rather should eliminate all busing until the constitutionality of the presidential proposal can be Thompson Officially Announces For Race Georgia Congressman Fl ecther Thompson officially an nounced today that he is a can. didate for the United State Sen. ate.

Fact is, quail have always been inhabitants of the edges of woods and swamps, and when danger comes, they plunge deeper into the wooded havens. But yes, quail do seem to spend more and more time in the woods. They aren’t the only wild creatures that have had to change their habits to some degree. The world has changed quite drastically over the years, and these changes have had definite impact on various wildlife populations. Some 40 years or so ago, deer were quite scarce in our state. They had been abundant when white man first came to this continent. Hunting, then unrestricted, had some impact on this, but the big factor was that land use was changed. First there were forests. Then came the farmers, who cut the trees and planted crops. Lately, the trend has reversed again, and land that had been in crops is now in trees .. .and has abundant deer herds. In the meantime, during the crop era, farm game such as quail, rabbits and doves were abundant. Now, they’re apparently diminishing, in some areas. Actually, you can still find quite good numbers of these species, but it’s much harder hunting, in thicker, heavier, higher cover. They had adjusted to a changed environment. Ducks and other waterfowl have had quite a struggle. The dry depression years, the Dirty Thirties, took heavy tolls of ducks. They, too, have made a During the California gold I/* ■< * STTTh Hl rush, some miners had to send | ", I their laundry all the way to ~ jJr\ • * Hawaii — and wait 6 months g . decided upon.” The congressman agrees that a constitutional amendment would take some time but wants to continue his own efforts for such a remedy to protect school children, parents, schools and quality education “for all time.” “I have long proposed an end to this busing,” Stuckey said, “and I have continued to advocate that these monies wasted on busing could be far better spent improving our schools and providing quality education for our children. I urge all Georgians and all Americans to flood their senators and representatives in Washington with cards and letters supporting Mr. Nixon’s proposed end of busing. Hopefully, we can once and for all rid our nation of this wasteful, unwanted practice and return our funds and energies to the task of educating our children.” in the Georgia State Senate be fore being elected three times to Congress, as the representa. tive of Georgia’s Fifth District.

BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH Georgia Game and Fish Commission Roll With The Punch comeback, in the wetter years, but populations fluctuate with the wetness or dryness of the years. Fortunately, however, the bad years and the changes in habitat have not made as significant a change in some wildlife populations as they used to. This is because some men have been concerned, and have done something about it. State conservation agencies have restocked deer where they were void, now that forests are abundant. Studies have been made which game managers hope will help to stabilize small game populations. Groups such as Ducks Unlimited have worked to protect ducks by creating more prairie potholes in Canadian provinces, known as “duck factories.” Wildlife can adapt to some changes, but man’s changes often are so drastic and so rapid, that wildlife cannot always make the adaptation, by itself. It needs help .. .from man. The sportsman is the man who does this, through his support and financing of conservation agencies, and worthwhile conservation organizations. Some species could not adjust, or didn’t get help in time. Dinosaurs and sabre tooth tigers are gone. Perhaps it’s just as well, there’d be little place for them in our world. Unfortunately, other species are gone or are going. It may be too late to help them. Before it’s too late, however, now is the time to support good conservation. How? Buy a hunting license. Support good legislation. Join a good organization. And, perhaps most important of all, stand firm on the right to hunt, and to own firearms. Hunting is essential to wildlife conservation.

General Assembly Passed Trout Bill Game and Fish Department Director Joe D. Tanner ann ounced today that the Georgia General Assembly had passed a bill which would allow the non-resident fisherman to buy a five-day trout stamp for $3. 25. Gov. Jimmy carter is expected to sign this bill into law in the near future. This will save the non-resi dent trout angler $7.00 over the least expensive combination that was available last year.At that time the out-of-state ang ler who planned a five-day trip had to purchase a short-term license for $3.25 plus a seas on trout stamp which sold for $10.25, a total of $13.50. There was no provision for a short, term trout stamp for non-resi dents. The non-resident season fish, ing license still sells for $lO. 25. In comparison, a season resident fishing license costs $3.25 and a season resident trout stamp costs $2.25.
