Nat&SS&a Rudy Vallee I Wildlife Fed eration is Being Organized Cass County to Have Wildlife Coun cil A. L. Tidd Is Coun ty Chairman. The Wildlife Federation is being formed nationally for the purpose of bringing under one head all the dif ferent organizations such as Gun clubs, American Legion posts, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, Izaak Walton Leagues, Boy Scout groups, 4-H clubs. Bird clubs, Sportsmen's groups or any association of citizens interested in wildlife and in its conservation for the use and pleasure of our citizens. Mr. J. N. "Ding" Darling, famous cartoonist, who was formerly direc tor of the United States Biological Survey realized that the diversified efforts of all these groups should be co-ordinated into one centralized program. Thus, it was that the North American Wildlife conference was held in Washington in February of this year. At that conference, plans were made to establish the General Wildlife Federation whose purpose was to co-ordinate the efforts of all interested groups in this great problem of the conservation of our natural resources. It was the desire of the federation that each state should organize its own state federation. A meeting was held at Lincoln, March 14, 1936 to lay plans for such an organization 140 individuals representing 65 coun ties were in attendance. Temporary state officers were selected, who in turn with the advice of local sports men and the county agents appointed a chairman for each of Nebraska's 93 counties. It is the task of the county chair men to organize his county into a County Wildlife Council. Each town and city in the county having an organization interested in this proj ect will be invited to send represen tatives to the county council meeting. Mr. A. L. Tidd is chairman of Cass county, and all those interested in this movement should extend their fullest co-operation to Mr. A. L. Tidd, who is planning a Cass county meet ing for the public and the represen tatives of the various organizations in the county of Cass. Our county unit will be a part of the state or ganization and the state group a part of the national federation. The great objective of the Wild life Federation is not action by groups as groups, but action by in dividuals. Everyone who has had any experience at all with legislatures, knows that a flood of letters and telegrams from individual constitu ents of the members of the legisla tive body will have far more influ ence than group action of any sort. "Ding" Darling knows this and that Is why he devised this particular plan of operation. The way the organization is in tended to work is somewhat as fol lows: We will say a bill is before con gress of vital interest to hunters, fish ermen, bird lovers and conservation ists. Perhaps It concerns Nebraska or perhaps it concerns the middle west or even the whole nation. The national headquarters will communicate with the state officers, who in turn will send the message to the county chairmen and they will communicate with the representatives of the various organizations. The members of the organizations will be urged in each county to write, wire or personally contact their rep resentatives in the legislature or con gress, urging them to support the bill. If we have a complete organization it seems that our representatives will soon learn that we are opposed to some dangerous bill that would be detrimental to our wildlife. Concert ed action always brings results. 0. E. S.

Fred Fleischman Has Accident Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fleischman made a trip to Lincoln last Monday to secure some baby chicks and as they were on their way home, hav ing reached a point some two miles north of Elmwood, they pulled well out to the side of the road to give the truck of Charles Schaeffer plenty of room in passing. The outer wheels got into the gravel ridge at the road side, making driving difficult and when it seemed they would crash in to the road guard rail posts along the side of the road, Mr. Fleischman pulled the car quickly to the left. As he did so, the wheels were freed from the gravel ridge, but the speed of the car gave it such momentum that it was turned over, rolling into the guard rail and breaking off four of the posts, landing upside down in the ditch below. Fred soon disentan gled himself from the wrecked car and went to the assistance of his wife, who had been thrown clear of the car and was lying stretched out on the ground. Helping her up, he asked if she was hurt and she an swered no, and in fact she was not, except for a slight cut in her fore head and a scratch on one of her hands. Fred received only one or two minor scratches and none of the 400 baby chicks were injured. It was a most lucky accident, as in many cases of this kind people are either killed outright or badly in jured. Mr. Fleischman plugged the vent in the gas tank to prevent the gaso line from leaking out and causing a possible fire. He then called for a wrecker to come out from Elmwood and right the car, which was driven home under its own power, they get ting home in less than two hours after the accident. The car was damaged some, but can be repaired. They consider themselves most lucky that the only injuries suffered were minor scratches and being shaken up.
