Show Wildlife Week Proclaimed o This is National Wildlife week and Mayor VVm G. Bruhn ,of Panguitch has proclaimed it for the .city of Panguitch. George Proctor, President of the Panguitch Wildlife Federation says: Whether you hunt, fish, camp, boat, swim, or simply 'walk or ride through the woods, America's priceless wildlife heritage is supremely important to you. It must be preserved, if our opportunity to enjoy it is to remain unimpaired. This is National Wildlife week. Celebrate it by joining your local conservation club today, so that you can work to protect and restore wildlife. The theme this year is make a place for wildlife.. I think this applies to our own community especially on fishing. , The public has lost a good many miles of fishing on the head waters of Asay Creek this year because of the conflict between the land owner and the public. The land own-'er has let people fish there in the past, but they wouldn't respect his property rights. So he has tried locking them out ,and also charging them to go .in and fish. So now the State .Fish and Game Commission says no more fish for Asay Creek under these conditions. 1 think that our big job today is to educate the public to , respect the land owner's rights, and not let a few would be sportsmen ruin thcTfshlng and hunting for the rest of us. |
