Under a new organizational plan adopted recently by the department de-partment of fish and game, field men formerly known as "wardens" "ward-ens" will assume the title of "conservation officers." The title change was adopted to better describe the duties of these men who comprise the "back bone" of the state conservation conser-vation program. The duties of the conservation officer of today can be little likened to those of the warden of yesteryear, the department spokesmen noted. In the early days of fish and game management, manage-ment, a warden's work ,was almost al-most entirely law enforcement. Today's conservation officer spends only a little less than one-third one-third of his time on enforcement with the balance taken up by range surveys and other management man-agement work. Pvt.
