Environmental education has been
under attack as anti-growth and
anu-income, which may be costly
for our children, according to Dr.
Dean Steinhart, who spoke at the
Dauphin County Conservation
District’s annual banquet Tuesday
night.
Steinhart, director of the Office
of Environmental Education with
the Pennsylvania Department of
Education and Department of
Environmental Resources, said
that promoting the concerns of the
environment is often viewed as
anti-American, which is wrong.
He said that, inevitably, to survive,
we don’t have the luxury of conti
nuing to waste resources. In envir
onmental education, “we have to
get involved.”

unanimously voted this week to
Dr. Don Evans. “Sam, tonight we
are going to announce the begin

scholarships in your name, the
Honorable Samuel E. Hayes, at

It was an evening for honoring
Sam Hayes and honor they did.

many have forgotten that our
wealth is derived from what we
produce from the soil. For too
long, many people have been mak
ing money merely by “paper shuf
fling, ’ ’ not by producing a product
Many don’t understand the rela
tionship between wealth and the
soil.
And we have to be concerned,
he said, because of the overwhelm
ing growth of the population in the
world. It took four million years
for the world’s population to reach
2 billion in 1927. Seventy years
after, the population will triple to 6
billion people.
America makes up only about 5
percent of the world’s population,
yet it takes up 25 percent of the
world’s resources. In this area,
between 1950 and 1980, more than
500,000 poeple were added to the
Susquehanna River Basin. The

Largely at the prodding of the

central Pennsylvania converged at
Ellis Hall at Juniata College last
Saturday for a testimonial dinner
for Sam Hayes, Jr.
The scholarship announcement
capped off an evening of recogni

and the resources has taken on
“unprecedented” meaning. He
said the world’s resources and
wealth are tied together. “But not
everybody believes in steward
ship. Many worry about managing
it today, (and think) let’s not worry
about tomorrow,” said Steinhart.
The rain forests of South Ameri
ca are being cut down, and will
soon be depleted. Steinhart
pointed out that those who are
removing the forest, when asked
what they are going to do when it is
all gone, merely shake their heads
and don’t really know. They’ll
worry about that when the time
comes, according to Steinhart.
He said that 20 years ago, there
was no bottled water on the shelves
in grocery stores. Now, shelves are
lined with bottled water. It is a
resource that many take for
granted.

With the new national direction,
competition for member loyalty
among the affiliates is likely. One
director who attended the conven
tion described it as an “open door
from the cooperation mode to the
competition mode.” But another
official saw it as the possibility for
even greater cooperation. He
reported that there had been a very
large number of meetings between
state organizations on possible
mergers and cooperative ventures.

rather than send them into strong
competition.
Because the change of direction
is so new and unfamiliar, the rami
fications of the move and the work
ing details to accomplish it are
somewhat limited. What is known
comes from the resolutions that
were passed at the convention.
First, it is known that no new
DHIA affiliates will be approved at
this time. The national board’s
thinking is that it would be best to
have “significant experience
involving existing DHIA service
affiliates operating under a system
without geographic barriers”
before developing policy to accept
new affiliates.
