The Extra Mile
By Dean Wohlgemuth
(Ga. Game-Fish Comm,)
Many times, while speaking
to civic organizations, school
groups or sportsmen’s clubs,
this writer often points out that
teaching hunting, fishing and con=
servation to youngsters is impor=-
tant as a character builder.
It teaches youngsters tobe good
sportsmen, thus builds in them
desirable qualities that help them
to be good citizens, to work and
play more compatably with other
persons in the world.
Outdoor recreation teaches
youngsters to have regard for
their fellow man. They learn
that conservation is putting na=-
tural resources to wise use, that
when using a resource wisely a
hunter or fisherman is careful
not to deplete fish or wildlife
populations to a degree as toharm
permanently.
In this way, he is learning re
spect for the rights of others, He
also learns that he doesn’t appre=-
ciate another angler coming too
close to him when he finds a good
spot, thus he recrocates by
staying away from other fisher=-
men.
He learns gun safety, because
he knows he could kill or injure
himself or others.
He learns, not to be justa fish
erman or hunter, but to be a
sportsman,
Well, just what is a sports
man? Is it simply enough to obey
laws when there’s a chance you
may get caught, but disregard
them when you know it’s safe?
Not hardly. A sportsman knows
that at least part of the time he
could break the law and get away
with it. But he doesn’t break the
law anyway. He reports violat
ions of others immediately when
he sees them.
In fact, the true sportsman
Notre Dame, still staying just
outside the top ten - in Ilth,
will ramble fairly well against
Georgia Tech, winning by 27
points, Penn State, moved to
sth, will finally get a slight
breather ~ Maryland is a 26-
point underdog to the Nittany
Lions,
In the mis-match of the day,
Bth-ranked Houston will probably
destroy Idaho a bit , , the diff
erence is 40 points, And 13th
rated Purdue, bitten by Gophers
last Saturday, should top Michi=-
gan State by six points, 10th
ranked Tennessee will tip Ole’
Miss by eleven,
is willing to go the extra m.
He doesn’t always fill out his
bag limit supply because the law
allows him to. If he is allowed
a dozen quail, but knows he can
use only eight, he stops there.
If he doesn’t particularly care
to eat doves, he doesn’t waste
his day’s bag, he gives them to a
friend whom he knows will use
them. Or better yet, to go the
EXTRA mile, he doesn’t hunt
game that he himself won’t use.
By the same token, he releases
small fish unharmed when he
doesn’t care to clean and eat
them. By doing this, he leaves
a fish that someday may provide
even better sport for another an
gler, perhaps himself. Even if
not caught again, the fish is left
to reproduce, thus yielding more
fish for himself and others.
Not only does the sportsman
leave plenty of elbow room for
other anglers already anchored at
a good spot, when he passes them
he does so at a distance so that
the wake of his boat will not
disturb l’fs counterparts.
He is'always careful of his
target when hunting. 'He never,
NEVER shoots at movements in
the brush, He waits until he is
sure that there really is a deer
there, and that it is a legal buck,
not a doe out of season, which he
must leave in the woods to spoil.
Besides, he knows that the
movement in the brush might turn
out to be another hunter. Thus
he avoids tragedy.
He appreciates it when a land=
owner allows him to hunt on his
land. He, therefore, doesn’t leave
gates open, or shoot toward live
stock, perhaps injuring the stock
or at least frightening them.
Neither does he leave trash or
garbage on the other fellow’s
land. But he does always make
sure he has the owner’s per=-
mission to hunt, and at the end of
the day he thanks the owner. To
go the extra mile, and be sure
that he’ll be welcome back again
someday, he offers to share his
bag of quail, rabbits, venison,
trout, bass, or whatever it was

MARINE CORPS physical fitness experts (foreground) keep count
as members of the Carle Place, N.Y., High School team compete
for national honors in Washington, D.C. at the final meets of the
Marine Corps Youth Physical Fitness Program. Carle Place defeated
other teams of regional fitness champions from around the nation,
winning top national honors for the third consecutive year.
471 out of a possible 500 points.
For the youngsters, the Wash
inton, D.C. trip and final meets
marked the high-point of a year
filled with challenges and tough
competition. It all started. for
them last Fall when their schools
joined with others throughout
the country to participate in the
Marine Corps Youth Physical
Fitness Program. Throughout the
year, their school teams advanced
through several local and district
meets. Then, in the Spring, the
young men were selected as re
gional champions to compete in
the final meets from among the
hundreds-of-thousands of partic
ipants in the program.
OLYMPIC CHAMP SPEAKS
The young students were
brought to Washington, D.C. by
the Post division, which through
its Post Toasties Corn Flakes
product, assists the Marine Corps
with the operation of its program
by providing the SI,OOO scholar
ship, several trophies, and other
expenses involved with the final
meets and trips.
From the moment they ar
rived, the youngsters’ schedule
was a busy one. In addition to
visiting the Naval Academy and
touring many historic Washington
sites, the young fitness champs
viewed the famous sunset parade
at the Washington Marine Bar
racks and were honored at a
Washington Senators baseball
game in D.C. Stadium.

Following the final meets, the
youngsters attended the special
banquet in their honor, which
was hosted by the Marine Corps
and General Foods at one of the
capital's leading hotels. Present
for the banquet were Cong.
Mathias as well as several other
congressmen and more than a
score of professional and collegi
ate athletes. Sharing the dais with
Cong. Mathias were Comman
dant Leonard F. Chapman, Jr.
of the Marine Corps, a long
time supporter of youth physical
fitness, and Charles Arnett, na
tional sales manager of General
Foods' Post division, who praised
the youngsters for setting a hard
to-match example for all the
youth of the nation.
PLANS FOR 1969
The events in the capital mark
ed the end of the 1968 Youth
Physical Fitness Program, but
already plans are underway for
next year, The Marine Corps,
which initiated ' its program in
1958, conducts it in support of
the President’s Council on Physi
cal Fitness. Next year, it will
again provide material, help and
guidance in the building and
maintaining of top physical con
dition to educators and students
at the high school level. Come
autumn gymnasiums and play
grounds will be filled with young
sters doing sit-ups, push-ups and
squat thrusts as they start on
their way to compete for honors
in the 1969 Marine Corps Youth
Physical Fitness Program.
