Show 5I The Suit Lake Tribune, Sumlaj, !' lmiar 27, 197; ( h v: Don Brooks vV v, Trained Young Americans Thirst For Jobs in Outdoor Fields Your Dead Fish Editor has been writing about the outdoors more years now than he cares to remember and for the most pan, 'it has been a rewarding, enjoyable task. But in recent years there has been a development that he doesnt like. I refer to all the strapping young Americans who have spent four years or more in obtaining degrees in range, wildlife or related subjects and thirst to get started on outdoor jobs. And the jobs arent there. "Thorp are some dandy people just waiting to get started, said Doug Day, personnel chief for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, as he leafed through scores of applications. They'll do anything just to get that start. The figures bear out Dougs statement. Since the first of the year he has interviewed 215 college students who are seeking temporary summer work. He estimates that he will have only 35 job openings and at least 10 of those will go to returnees who worked last summer. As far as permanent positions go, Doug estimates that he will have seven openings at the most during the year. Many From Other States And on top of the Utah students trying to get located my office handles on the average six to seven applications a day from people in other states. Many of those applicants have masters degrees. We wish we could place many of them, but we simply cant. The story is much the same in other states. In Wyoming recently, an examination was given for game warden positions Seventy-fiv- e persons took the exam, 23 qualified. Those 23 were placed on the waiting list and since the exam exactly two have been hired. A Wyoming fish and game official told me: Its a real dog fight now.' for a young man to get started in conservation w'ork. The positions simply arent available. Last fall the Pennsylvania Game Commission held a game warden exam and more than 1,000 young people applied for it. There were just 25 job openings, one position for each 40 applicants. John Madsen, wauling for Winchester-Westersums it up: Thousands of young people are burning to W'ork in wildlife management, but only a few jobs are to be had. It reflects intense interest in managing our wildlife resources, but no new programs to match. Firestone CHAMPION Blackwell Plus $1.60 Fed. Exc.

Basic conservation continues to be a state game and fish function paid for by hunters and fishermen. What the nation needs now in this era of environmental interest is a major breakthrough into wider, broader wildlife conservation. Your DFE wants to see these kids from Utah State, BYU, Utah University and all oar other schools land jobs in conservation fields. But right now many of them are just waiting for the right break while the solid citizens 'ind the politicians shout their environmental platitudes. Resources are being wasted and the greatest of these resources is the at reservoir of young energy that has only one desire and that is to get out there in the hills and improve the American outdoors.
