CARMEL SIRIANNI Special to The Post When you receive your 1987 Pennsylvania personal income tax form, you will notice that it contains two “voluntary check-off” items. This is a departure from recent years when only the “Wild Resource Conservation Fund: Do Something Wild!”’ check-off was listed. For the 1987 tax year, the Wild Resources Conservation Fund will be joined by a second check-off. It will be a one-time check-off to support Pennsylvania athletes going to the 1988 Olympic Games. Before I discuss this new check-off item, I'd first like to review the “Do Something Wild’ endeavor. The Wild Resources Conserva- tion Fund (WRCF) was established in 1982 by the General Assembly to help coordinate and finance non-game wildlife and wild plant management programs in the state. WRCF operates programs in conjunction with the state’s three natural resource agencies: the Department of Environmental Resources (DER), the Commission. . Pennsylvania Fish Commission and the Pennsylvania Game WRCF is totally supported by donations, most of which are made through the income check-off system. These check-off contributions have averaged approximately $330,000 a year. WRCF programs funded by these contributions have successfully reintrodued the osprey (fish hawk) to Pennsylvania, implemented a comprehensive native plant protection effort, and develope an endangered species listing and related data. Contributions also have been used to promote wildlife resource conservation awareness among Pennsylvania’s children through the publication of a storybook. WRCF also maintains an ongoing survey to monitor 32 species considered to be endangered in the Commonwealth. Taxpayers due refunds from the 1987 tax year can easily designate part or all of that refund to the WRCF for these and various other programs. Taxpayers who do not have a refund due can make a direct contribution to the WRCF by enclosing a check § of 3! § VON 4 with their tax return. { xt Pelton degreed Holly Ann Pelton, of 10 Gordon St., Dallas, received the degree of Bachelor of Music in Music Education at the recent 123rd Winter Commencement of Mansfield University.

Rep. George C.
