Hebertson Teachers and PTA officers and workers have assisted in collecting and preparing the clothes for shipment. Local and national transporation companies, too, are cooperat ing. The bundles will be pick ed up at the school and sent to Knoxville, Ten. This project of collecting clothing was endorsed by E. Allen Bateman, State Superintendent Superin-tendent of Public Instruction. In his letter to local schools be stated that conditions in our Southern Mountain re gions were such that many children would be unable to go to school this winter because be-cause they lacked adequate clothing and shoes. This condition con-dition creates a severe attendance attend-ance problem. T'.Js clothing collected by school children of America during "Bundle Days" is neither sold for a small fee, nor utilized in any other way, but is distributed free to children in need by Save The Children Federation, a voluntary volun-tary group of non profit non-sectaraian, non-sectaraian, non-political workers work-ers serving the need of children child-ren In underprivileged areas at borne and overseas without regard re-gard to race or creed.

Cradled in what was once the bed of glacial Lake Passaic, it is a region that includes broad meadows, ancient forests, and wooded swamps, surrounded surround-ed by and intermixed with rolling rol-ling hills and steep ridges. Although the area lies in the midst of one the most rapidly growing sections of the country, coun-try, it has retained the qualities qual-ities of real wilderness. Each fall and spring the swamps and marshes of the valley provide haven and food for hundreds of thousands of waterfowl, just as they have for centuries past. TV v;3 Mink and otter still cavort by quiet pools and along wandering wander-ing waterways. In the safe seclusion sec-lusion of forest bordered ponds, colorful Wood Ducks bring their broods to maturity. Anyone Any-one who has had the good fortune for-tune to view a resplendent "woodie" flash before his eyes has known a thrill that cannot be measured in dollars. Nine years ago Wildlife Preserves, Inc., a conservation organization with headquarters in Englewood, New Jersey determined de-termined to establish a natural-area natural-area preserve in the region in order to save as much as possible pos-sible of these wetlands for the enjoyment and study of future generations.

The committee is embarking on a nationwide fund-raising effort to purchase as many of the swamp's 4,000 acres as possible. pos-sible. Since its inception, the group has acquired about 2,000 acres in the valley, some 450 of them in the Great Swamp. Conservationists in the. East who have helped many times to save wilderness and park lands far from home are being asked to contribute to preserve a magnificent area practically in their back yards. Others, who may live at some distance, are being requested to save what is in actuality a national asset The wetlands of the Upper Passaic Valley form a unique biotic community of plants and animals. There is no comparable area of its size and type between Maine and Virginia. "In addition to serving as an important wildlife habitat, this area will provide much needed open spaces and beauty as a relief from the rapid urbanization urbaniza-tion of that entire section of the eastern seaboard",says Walter Wal-ter Westcott, of Chatham, co-chairman co-chairman of the committee. "These open spaces will provide the public with an unusual opportunity op-portunity for recreation." The wetlands have long been an attrcction to botanists, ecol-ogists, ecol-ogists, and otner naturalists, loth professional and amateur, according to Robert L. Perkins, Per-kins, Jr., President of Wildlife Preserves. He feels that the area has an enormous potential for education. One of the W functions of the Upper Passaic Valley Conservation Committee will be to educate the public to the values of wetlands generally gen-erally and to provide facilities so that they may enjoy and appreciate ap-preciate them. The committee plans to establish es-tablish a nature education center cen-ter for children there with the participation of the New Jersey Audubon Society. Quite obviously, obvi-ously, any plans that would "develop", the wetlands would destroy their varied natural assets as-sets and make impossible the successful completion of the committee's education project. The other co-chairmen of the committee with Mr. Westcott, are Mrs. Robert L. Lloyd o Morristown, and Mrs. Pav Moore of Convent Station.
