In western Pennsylvania the bitumi-
nous mines showed a further loss or
3.7 per cent in August -as compare
with July.

Scientists Characterize Crit-
ics of Wild Life Organization
as ‘“Self-Appointed’” Group
NEW YORK.—Critics of the poli-
cies of the National Association of
Audubon Societies, and of Dr. T. Gil-
bert Pearson, President of that or-
ganization, are denounced as “a
small, self-appointed group repre-
senting nothing but certain personal”
interests,” in a report based upon
nearly a year of investigation, just
made public by Dr. Thomas Bar-
bour, Director of the Museum of
Comparative Zoology, Harvard Uni-
versity, and Chauncey J. Hamlin,
President of the Buffalo Museum of
Science. Although unable to serve
on the Committee, because of press
of official duties, Dr. Alexander
Grant Ruthven, President of the
University of Michigan, states ‘that
“I am entirely out of sympathy with
~ the attacks being made on the Na-
tional Association of Audubon Se=:
cieties.”
Charges that the National Asso-
ciation had indulged in ‘practices
foreign to the purpose for which it
was formed were made more than a
year ago in two pamphlets widely
circulated by an anonymous “Emer-
gency Conservation Committee,”
and at the annual meeting of the
Association in October, 1930, United
States Senator Frederic C. Wal-
cott, of Connecticut, as a member,
suggested that a committee exam-
ine into the charges and undertake
such other investigations of the As-
sociation as it saw fit. One of the
pamphlets containing charges
against Dr. Pearson and the Asso-
ciation was captioned, “A Crisis in
Conservation,” and was signed by
two employees of the American Mu-
seum of Natural Histofy and a.
third person described by the Com:
“mittee as one “completely unknown’
to fame” who when he visited the
~Association’s headquarters ‘“ap-
peared under an assumed name and
gave a false address.”
A statement from George H. Sher
wood, Director of the American Mu-
seum of Natural History, is quoted
to the effect that Museum officials
had not known that two of its em=
ployees were preparing such a
pamphlet, which Mr. Sherwood de-
rides with the statement that “The
Museum is, therefore, of the opin-
fon that the alleged ‘Crisis in Con-
servation’ exists largely in the
minds of the authors of this pamph-
let.” Comiadnting upon this phasa
“of the charges, Dr. Barbour and Mr.
Hamlin observe that “it does not
seem worth-while to go into the vas
rious details which show that this
Report of Investigators Questions
Motives of Audubon Society Critics
DR. T. GILBERT PEARSON
committee—so-called—is simply a
small, self-appointed group repre-
senting nothing but personal inter-
ests; and there is little point in at-
tempting to analyze the motives of
the persons hostile to the Associa-
tion who have used this method of
attack.”
To the charge that Dr. Pearson
had cooperated with “the killers,”
the Committee finds that most of
the material presented “is familiar
to everyone who has dealt with the
activities of the ‘zoophile cults,’ the
zoophile being ‘one whose argu-
ments ‘are always based on senti-
ment rather than reason,” who be:
lieves that if a forest is to be pre-
served no tree should ever be cut .
down and who thinks that no spe-
cies of bird or animal can be pro-
tected if any individual of the spe:
cies is ever killed.”
The report of the Committee,
after sifting all ‘charges made by
the “Emergency Conservation Com-
mittee,” concludes:
“We believe that the Association
has served a most creditabie pur-
pose. We believe that it has accdm-
plished great ends—and that the
funds entrusted to it have been well
expended. When people join its
membership but-a few days before
an annual meeting—some who have
vilified it for years and are simply
actuated by a desire to stir up strife,
to attack the good name of its offi
cers, and to belittle its adequacy—
one can understand how such an as-
sociation” may well wish to be ex-
amined impartially and alse to en-
gage in self-examination. “Suni a
full investigation ‘we feel that ths
Society may be proud of a great rece,
ord.” G2

Gives Rules to
Guide Those Lost
In Woods
Getting lost in the woods of Penn;
sylvania is not as serious as it is in
parts of the far West and Canada,
where starvation may face the wand-
erer, but the experience is nevertheless
uncomfortable.
pressed by a number of visitors to the
State Forests during the past sum-
mer who wandered off the marked
trails and who became the object of
searching parties led ‘by the State For-
est rangers.
Strangely enough women and chil-
dren are not the only persons whom
the forest rangers were called upon to
seek. Grown men frequently became
bewildered while attempting to ‘cut
across county” in regions of the State
where the topography is steep and
rugged. The falling of darkness al-
ways complicates the - situation, and
unless the person lost is experienced
in woods lore he usually spends the
night out.
It is not uncommon for forest fire
fighters to get seperated from their
crews at night. The most tragic oc-
curence of this kind happened during
the spring when a fire fighter in Car-
bon county became lost for several
days, during which time he was ex-
posed to cold and rain, and later died.
Neither is it impossible for a fores-
ter to get lost, as experience proved
when ons of the foresters in Pike
‘county spent an involuntary day and
night in the woods.
Rules to Follow
Secretary Lewis E. Staley of the De-
partment of Forests and Waters, who
has had many years’ experience in the
woods, both while employed in lumber-
ing operations and after becoming a
technically trained forester, suggests
the following six rules for those who
stray off the marked forest trails:
1. Sit down and rest. Study the lay
of the land; try to find out where you
are. i PR
2. Don’t yell for help, sri don’t wear
yourself out trying to run through the
undergrowth or trying to push through
drifted snow.
3. Don‘t walk aimlessly about. Tra-
vel only downhill. Follow a stream
downwards, if possible. They usually
lead to a habitation.
4. Don't try to seek a way out dur-
ing the night or in a storm or fog.
Find a sheltered place and make
camp. Gather plenty of dry wood and
build a fire in a safe place. Be care-
ful not to set the woods on fire and
extinguish your camp fire before leay-
ing.
5. If you are injured, build a smoke
signal fire, if possible in an open spot
on a knob or ridge top.
6. Don't lose your head and don't
give up. .
During the Pennsylvania hunting
season, hunters occasionally get tem-
porarily lost in the forest. In freez-
ing _ weather and in blizzards, wich
are not unusual in early December in
parts of Pennsylvania, the danger of
getting lost increases. Secretary Sta-
ley recommends that hunters unfam-
liar with a regrort should always ac-
COMpany an experienced person. A
small pocket compass is useful, pro-
viding the person carrying one knows
which direction he should travel to re-
turn to camp.

Before Kiwanis
The Mt. Greenwood Kiwanis Club
held its regular meeting Wednesday
vening. Rev. Clarence Russell of
Plymouth was the speaker, and gave
in excellent address on the theme
“Talking, to. One's Self.” The minstrel”
committee reported progress and guar-
anteed to set a time and place for thé
Minstrel at the next meeting. Father
John O'Leary requested the club to co-
operate in the Governor's Canning
Plan. He told of the splendid work be-
ing done in the kitchen operated by
the Ladies of St. Theresa Parrish.
The Club voted to not only support the
kitchen already in operation, but also
appointed Milt Keeler, “Don Finney,
and Ed Guernsey a committee to make
arrangements for the opening of two
additional kitchens at Shavertown. M.

mediately promised to furnish con-
siderable material, and President Clint
Roberts placed his truck at the dis-
posal of the Committee. Everyone in
the communities having excess of
fruit, vegetables, or jars, are requested
to donate them to the cause. A tele-

ANIMAL /
THR
Wyoming Count Fair one of
the Most Successful in
Years. Racing and Animal
Acts Far Above Average
Those who attended the Tunkhan-
nock fair this year said that it was
one of the best they have ever atten-
ded there. The range of argicultural
exhibits, racing’ program and the free
attractions in front of the grandstands
were all of the calibre above the av-
erage.
Although the directors of the fair
made every effort to have the crowds
distributed over three days and nights
the crowd as usual was largest on
Thursday there being over 7,000 per-
sons in attendance on Thursday. The
night programs are rapidly gaining
popularity ang more persons attended
during the evenings than in previous
years. = The night feature of the fair
has been in existance only during the
past two or three years.
The biggest feature of the fair this
year was the animal acts presented
twice daily in front of the grandstand
by William Schultz, noted animal
trainer. This act alone cost the fair
association $1,400., and was worthy
of much greater advertising than the
advance announcements given it.
Schultz has been in the animal train-
ing business since a youngster, his
parents before him having been con-
nected with the Hagebacks in the cap-
turing and training of wild animals in
Africa. Included in this act were
trained ponies, horses, bears, dogs,
monkies, six lions and an elephant. A
flock of trained sheep, the dumbest of
all animals to train, was also feat-
ured. 0%
Much of the credit for the devel-
opment and progress of the fair 1s
due to the late O. D. Stark, who as
secretary of the association revived
| interest in the fair in Wyoming Coun=
ty and worked diligently to have tne
building's and grounds improved. At
his death Percy Brunges was elected
secretary and under his leadership
the fair has proposered ‘as never be-
fore.
Mr. Brunges is a good showman. He
has improved the character of the free
acts and racing programs as well as
all other features of the fair.
In the past few years the fair as-
sociation has made some money. This
has been used or the improvement of
the grounds and buildings, although
: there is still a remaining small debt
carried over from previous years.
One of the great needs of the fair
is a new grandstand large enough to:
seat several thousand persons. This
thousand persons were unable to get
seating ffm on Thursday.
With the pe -sort of grandstand in
keeping with the high character of its
free acts accompanied by the proper
sort of ballyho in Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton newspapers, Wyoming
County Fair could be made one of the
greatest in northeastern” Pennsylvania.
It is conveniently located to large cen-
tres of population and can be reached
by good roads in all directions.

early as three weeks ago the national

the Caribbean but few people in Brit-
ish Hondurus paid any attention to the
warning of the spiders and the scien-
tists. - The story of death from .tidat
waves and hurricanes has filled news-
papers for the last week. The United
States, the Red Cross the world in
general has rushed assistance to the
striken islands. People of the West
Indies might have been more prudent
in anticipating a hurricane season. All
of the recent big blows from the Car-
ribbean have been in September. Flori-

in’ September, also Porto Rica's (1928)

; HORSES KILLED
Ten thousand bedraggled horses are
being killed this fall on the San Car-
los Indian reservation, an arid section
of Arizona. Their carcasses will be
shipped to factories where the hides
will be salvaged, the flesh and bone
made in to fertilizer and the hooves
made into glue. Reason for the
slaughter: the hnrses are physically
degenerate, big headed wild horses
owned by no one. They are infected
with highly contageous genital desease
reculiar to horses known as dourine.
Arizona fears the spread of the de-
sease among its domesticated horses.
Last week all water holes were fenced
in. Thirsty horses in great herds
sought unfenced water holes. They
found some where they could drink.
But water meant death for armed men
were at the unfenced water holes to
slaughter them.
