Pollution, Waste
Threaten Health and
Natural Resources
Something must be done soon
to piescrve the nation's natural
i csources or by the 21st century,
American living conditions will
bo woisc than in over-crowded
and polluted regions in the
Orient Outdoor rcci cation as
enjoyed today by millions of
families will be a thing of the
past
Pollution of ;iir and water al
icacly is a reality. Riveis and
lakes aio dying prematurely,
taking along fish, wildlife and
other life dependent on water.
Lake Ei ic, one of the five Great
Lakes, is the latest casualty.
Lake Michigan and Lake On
taiio also are heading ioi ex
tinction, expeils wain Forests
and land are being needlessly
destroyed or misused
These are the predictions
made by conseivationists con
cerned about the 300 million
Americans who in the year 2000
will be living on the same 3 4
millionsquaie miles inhabited
by 200 million persons today
To insure that these 300 mil
lion men, women and childien
will enjoy smog-fiee air, unpol
luted water and the wide open
spaces, a constiuctive conserva
tion and resom ce policy is ne
cessary So believes U S Secie
taiy of Agriculture Orville L.
Fieeman
Federal and state conseiva
tion agencies already assist the

spurred enrollment to an all
time high of nearly 270,000
youth, according to the Exten
sion Service. The aim of the pro
gram is to teach life and. hoew it
j depends on proper management
(of natural resources
and provide expanded oppor
tunities for members to partici
pate in county, state, and na
tional events.
“This is a good time to check
into the opportunities the 4-H

emphasized “Your Cooperative
