ATLANTA (PRN) And
what do you suppose was one
of the most highlighted topics
of workshop sessions at the
Outdoor Writers Association
of America conference held
last week in Pensacola,
Florida?
If you guessed
environmental issues, you’re
dead right. If ever anyone is
concerned about these issues,
it is the outdoor writer. If
you’ll think about it carefully,
you may recall that
conservation agencies and
outdoor writers have been
trying for years to get the
public to pay attention to the
need for better care of our
environment.
Well, at last, ‘most everyone
in interested. And when you
have the attention of the
public, you can’t just simply
relax and let things happen.
For that reason, the outdoor
writers spent a good deal of
time looking at environmental
issues, and how they could
best present them to their
readers.
Not too many years ago,
most of the conference was
spent on teaching basic
writing, broadcasting and
photographic techni qu es
peculiar to outdoor writing.
The Association is becoming
more and more professional
each year, however, and in
order to qualify for
membership these days, a
person has to be fairly well
accomplished in these basic
skills. For that reason. OWAA
members are looking more
seriously at bigger and deeper
topics, especially looking at
the shape the world is in, and
how to convey the need for
conservation and wise
management of our resources,
to the public.
The first speaker on the
program reflected the deep
interest of OWAA in this area.
He is William D. Ruckelshaus,
head of the federal
Environmental Protection
Agency. It is not easy to
obtain speakers of this stature.
What he had to say was
something I wish everyone
could hear. For that reason,
next week’s column will be
tion is declared to be July 14,
1971.
Those wishing toqualify must
do so with this office not later
than the 28th day of June, 1971,
at 5:00 o’clock p.m., Daylight
Saying Time. Any further in
quiries should be addressed to
this office.

TRACT NO. TWO: That tract

BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH
GEORGIA GAME AND
USB COMMISSION
Outdoor Writers Study
Environment Problems
devoted to his comments.
He and other speakers
discussed “The Fight For Our
Environment” for the first
session of the conference. And
the next day, the subject
remained much the same, as
we listened to several speakers
on “Some Problems of our
Times,” which again dealt
with public feelings toward
conservation and the problems
of environmental destruction.
And even farther into the
week, on Thursday, much
time was given to “Survival in
a Civilized Society.”
Now, that topic may sound
rather dull, and may even have
sounded a bit strange for
outdoor writers. You might
think they’d worry more
about survival in the wilds,
than on main street. And you
may wonder how all this ties
in with what I’ve said about
studying environmental
problems.
Well, now. civilization and
urban living are the
environment in which we live.
The pressures of this
environment drive man to the
environment of the wildlife.
And the expansion and
"progress” of our civilization
encroaches upon the wildlife’s
world.
Not only that, we face
perils in our civilization,
including water and air
pollution to be sure. Further,
we live soft lives, and when we
go afield we may find our
bodies are not physically up to
the strain we put on them.
It all boils down to the fact
that the focus of national
attention is now upon the
outdoor writer and what he
says. He has a mighty
important job to do these
days. No longer is he simply a
man who writes only about
the good times to be had by
going hunting and fishing.
Today he must write in a far
more serious vein, or there will
be no hunting and no
fishing...and perhaps no
people.
The outdoor writer has
greatly increased in stature in
our society. It’s time we
listened more closely to what
he has to say.

“It was not only because of
technical reasons and unfortu
nate coincidences that we lost
the war,” he said. “It was not
just ill luckandtreason. Rather,
God has passed sentence on
Hitler. He has passed it on him
and his system which we served
in a state of mind hostile to
God.”
He then implored that every
thing be done to warn others
not to follow in his path. “Not
even one step,” he emphasized,
since the way he followed was
“the way without God, the road
from Christ, and in the final
outcome the road of political
stupidity, of disaster and
death.”
Why do men wait untU it is
too late to learn the age-old
lesson that defying God means
bringing a piece of hell not only
into their own lives but into the
lives of countless of others?
How much wiser to remember,
before it is too late, that “....
it is impossible to escape Your
hand. For the wicked that denied
knowing You were scourged by
the strength of Your arm....”

Remember the Victory Gar

there’s now a revival of interest
in gardening, and homeowners
who have a garden plot this
y ear are in tune with the times.
The U.S, Department of Agri
culture says renewed enthu
siasm and interest in home
cooking and canning make
thoughts of a home garden
even more appealing than
before. According to USDA,
many apartment dwellers are
getting in on the gardening act
by establishing “minigardens”
on their balconies.
