Utah Sportsmen To Observe 1 Wildlife Week Plans for Utah's annual observ-ance of National Wildlife Week were announced this week by spokesmen for the Utah Wildlife Federation, &tate sponsoring or-ganization for the "Week." Sportsmen organizations, civic clubs and youth groups will take part observing National Wildlife Week March 5-2- 1, which this year will stress the need for con-servation training in the public school systems of Utah and the entire nation. Walt Disney, noted conserva-tionist and maker of the "True Life Adventure" nature movies, has once again been called on to act as National Honorary chair-man for this event. Main goal of the week long observance in Utah, it was said, will be to better acquaint people with the pressing problems of conservation and the need for conservation training in class-rooms of the state. Leonard Madseri, president of the Utah Wildlife federation, sponsors of the celebration in Uath, observed that "America's wealth and prestige among na-tions is due to our once bountiful natural resources such as fertile soil, plentiful supplies of water, great forests and abundant wild-life. With continued national population booms and increased recreational demands the wise use of these resources, often lav-ish and wasteful in the past, must be practiced in the future if our country is to continue to be a leader in the free world." Madsen further pointed out that communism has been far more successful in poor, impov-erished areas where the people often do not have enough to eat, than in rich countries. "The basic need for resource conservation is a logical concern of the public schools, particular-ly in the fields of social studies, history and science, and should be of considerable interest to both youngsters and adults. The ned for conservation training in the public school systems is of vital importance," National Wildlife Week has been sponsored annually since 1938 by the National Wildlife Federation and its state affiliates including the Utah Wildlife Fed-eration.
