National Wild Life Week -- March 16-22 1958 As America's population increases, it is important that we, as citizens, insist that areas of Public Lands be set aside and managed for the recreation of the public as a whole. Unless this is done, the children of city dwellers may know nothing of wildlife save what they read in books and see in the zoo. Areas, set aside for hunting, fishing and other recrea tional activities, are important in developing future citizens. Let's all work together to make sure that lands best suited for public recreation be set aside and maintained for that purpose that we and our children may enjoy the wonders of Public Lands in their natural state. You can help Buy Wildlife Stamps every year. Thi: Message Sponsored By THE PLATTSMOUTH ROD & GUN CLUB Dave Bradley Pres. Ralph Cansemcr V. Pres. William Nelson Sec.-Trtai.
