Show FISH AND GAME DEPT. SHOWS WILDLIFE FILM AT MILFORD HIGH Students at the Milford High and Elementary schools were "treated" to special showings of a Utah Fish and Game Service film Wednesday morning. The film has been widely shown over the state, and has been received re-ceived with great interest by the school groups, wildlife clubs and other audiences. In January of this year the Utah State Fisn and Game Department De-partment began its 19th year of educational lectures to the schools of Utah, under the direction di-rection of Mr. Lee Kay, supervisor super-visor of education and publicity for the department. It is expected ex-pected that the current lecture will reach almost all of the schools in the state. To date, Mr. George Tripp, assistant to Mr. Kay, has presented his program pro-gram to more than 63 schools, with more than 16,000 students being present at the programs. The film shown Wednesday is the story of how Utah has been able to reclaim otherwise valueless marsh lands and develop de-velop them Into waterfowl refuges. Probably no other state has done more to build homes for waterfowl than Utah. "We are proud of the fact that all of our duck hunters can be accommodated on our man-made man-made marshes on any day during dur-ing the open season," Mr. Tripp said. Tuesday, the film was shown by Mr. Tripp and Othello Riley, Beaver County game warden,, to the school children of Beaver and Minersville, and in the evening eve-ning to the Beaver Wild Life Federation. Wednesday the Milford students viewed the movie, and the program was scheduled for presentation at Parowan Thursday. |
