Try Reading Latest Book With the close of the last open hunting season, the rab bit season, January 31, the av erage Nebraska outdoorsman finds himself in a doldrum per jod of little activity. Until the weather changes in the spring, many of us will just dream and talk about hunting and fishing. True, some will be busy' with re pairing and cleaning . outdoor equipment such as guns and fishing tackle. ' Often during our discussions on past and future seasons, we often get into the field of man agement; be it fish or game, we repeat ideas and remarks we hear from other hunters. We make this statement and that statement, some based on fact and some based on fancy. Gen erally speaking, we aren't sure of our sources of information and sometimes aren't sure of the accuracy of it; During this slack activity per iod, -many of us would enjoy, reading good information on the management of our wildlife resources. We don't know ex actly where to go for it. True,, some of the national outdoor magazines have some articles of this type. Many of us read OUT DOOPv NEBRASKA, a quarterly publication by the Nebraska Games. Forestation and Parks Commission. These are good sources, which are usually de pendable. The trouble is mat periodicals give us just a part of the over - all picture. To get a good idea of the ov er - all problems of managing wildlife, we can turn to some of the books that have been re cently published on this subject. "Wait a minute! I dont' want to .read all that dry technical stuff," you may claim. Well, you don't have to. There are some books written by men that understand the problems of wildlife resources; and, what's more, they know how to explain them so it is in teresting' and easy to read. There is a new book on the market that will give you a lot of enjoyable hours of reading and also give you a good idea of wildlife management prac tices. - It is: Our Wildlife Legacy: Durward Allen, 1954. Funk and Wagnalls Co., New York, New York. This is a book that youngsters in the upper grades and in high school carl use to fit the wild life picture into their general conservation course. This book alone would give them a solid background in the conserva tion of naturA resources in spite of the fact that the main stress is on wildlife. For the post - school adult, the myths, half - truths and misconceptions of "barber shop biology" will fade and be re placed with firm factual infor mation, after reading this book. Allen takes great care to build up a solid background of fact for each principle of conserva tion of wildlife put forth in his book. He cites evidence of tech nical workers and in many cas os explains in detail how- the evidence was collected and, ana lyzed. The book is in three parts. The first is "Numbers at Work," seven chapters of how, why and when of wildlife population in creases and decreases. Allen points out some of the known reasons for the population changes and stresses the point that we are only beginning .to RADIATOR REPAIRING ONE-DAY SERVICE Plattsmouth Motors Washington Ave. Ph. 287 Plattsmouth with 13 points but Hirz and Ptak had 12 to follow closely. 19 points.
