Leonard Madseri, president of the Utah Wildlife federation, sponsors of the celebration in Uath, observed that "America's wealth and prestige among nations na-tions is due to our once bountiful natural resources such as fertile soil, plentiful supplies of water, great forests and abundant wildlife. wild-life. With continued national population booms and increased recreational demands the wise use of these resources, often lavish 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, impoverished 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, particularly 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 Federation. |
