congress" to enact such legislation
as:

rocal trade agreements act of 1934;
2. Restriction of imports of all
raw materials, farm products, and
"substitutes therefor, to quotas based
on proven national requirements";
Seek New Industries.
3. Adoption of an "adequate tariff
on all agricultural products and sub
stitutes, and the immediate, adequate
and upward revision of tariffs to the
extent that there shall be tariff par
ity between raw materials and manu
factured goods";
4. Establishment of new industries
"which, through applied science, will
utilize all farm products represent
ing surpluses";
5. Encouragement and develop
ment of co-operative marketing.
The conference directed the reso

"prevent flooding or agricultural im
ports into the United States coupled
with high duties on foreign substi
tutes."

turn "to the idea of supporting their
families rather than trying to farm
on a commercial basis."

SOVIET PLANS NAVAL TALKS
London. Soviet Russia, informed
British sources said, is ready to start
naval conversations with Great Brit
ain without any reservations. The
object of the negotiations, which
competent observers expected would
soon begin, is the conclusion of an
agreement to associate the soviet
union with execution of the recently
signed naval treaty between Britain,
the United States and France.
Russia's reported willingness to
begin conversations without reserva
tions was interpreted to mean that
no preliminary demands will be
raised by Moscow which might pre
judice the success of the negotiations.
Exchanges between the British for
eign office and the Russian embassy
have begun for the setting of a date
for the naval talk.

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.

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.
