JACK WELCH I flatter myself that I may have helped Inspire one of the few changes mqde in the wildfowl hunting regulations this year, but it took the government a long time to catch up with me. ; As a boy, one of my most cherished ambitions was to bag a I Canada goose, and for several seasons I contrived, with an in- genuity7 and peisistence deserving of better results, ways and means of accomplishing my purpose.

He said the next legislature would be asked to put the department on a cigil service basis and he promised the department would work in their direction without legislative authority. "When we admit a civil service system. It must Be a real merit system, not a fake." With reference to the big game da problem. Director Anderson dared that the game management problem is of large dimensions and intricate complications.

To ignore the facts in any case will only lead to more serious difficulties fear us. The remainder of Mr.' An- dersons talk was concerned with policy regarding federal aid. "We favor a liberal attitude toward federal agencies because We need a liberal federal aid policy in conservation matters," he said.
