16 THE LAKE SHORE NEWS rpTnAY- TULY 27» l92~~ Calls Conservation of Resources Biggest Problem Before America Wilmette Man Appeals for Preservation of Forests, Wild Life for Posterity By DR. RALPH M. EVANS of Wilmette r'^.u the ~~c cf the historic land- ing* ~°* our Pilgrim fathers on the rugged coast of America until the present day, our civilization has drifted farther and farther from na- ture until now our lives are mostly one long succession of artificial cus- toms and habits. Today, among some of our far-sighted citizens, the ques- tion of conservation of all of our nat- ural resources, our forests, streams, wooded areas, our fur-bearing animals and others, our birds and fish and. last but not least, the very conserva- tion of our young manhood and wo- manhood is paramounrr It is a ques- tion which every loyal citizen of this beautiful America should be inter- ested in and enthusiastic about. We should make every effort and take ad- vantage of every opportunity to help "scTliside available wooded areas for park and recreational purposes within our cities as well as in the remote dis- tricts. It is our duty as lovers of the great out-of-doors to prevent our streams from being turned into sew- ers, our wooded lands cut away, our climates changed by loss of these God-given windbreaks to satisfy the greed of a money mad few. Our situation is no longer the agri- cultural one that we have known in the past, but jt_js__rapidly becoming an indusfriaPbne. The great height of our skyscrapers, the mileage of our railways, the huge industrial factories are not going to make us live, but they are going to sap our very life blood not many years hence. What, then, is bound to be the future of this great "Land of the Free?" What is to be the fate of our unborn Americans of tomorrow? Will they Jbe^free? No, a thousand times no, not if we continue the pace we are going. This land, the beautiful creation of the Almighty Architect, is now in the grinding and gnashing jaws of commercialism. Speak of Substitutes The hoarders of dollars, if you please, are laying low the giant for- est. They are turning their refuse "lnoT~strearns. They that, when all these resources are ex- pended, there will be a substitute to take their place. What~assurance+^ have we of this? How can they pos- sibly give a substitute for our great forest tracts? A great industrial tread mill will be the substitute,â€"a great machine with human life as its heart. Where will our future citizens go for relaxation with the "oF Swimmin' hole" stagnant and fiUbvr ^e^irtverT where we have loved to fish devoid of life ilue to the pollution of our streams, the woods and playgrounds turned into~?actory sites and sweat shops where these bond-bloated in- terests, who are striving for world commercial supremacy, may pile up their gains and steal the future from heap shame upon you. Failure now is to limit the unborn generations by the boundaries of great industrial cities created by these ignoble spendthrifts who are not only dissipating what they think is their own. but are steal- ing the property and rights of these children of the coming ages. Another item which I feel is a worthy one and should. be brought under the heading of conservation is the protection of our birds and an- imals from slaughter. Deliver us from the game hog! Deplores Wanton Destruction You who have kept abreast of the times are familiar with our great American Bison. You also know that years ago they roamed at will over the length and breadth of our land. To- day there are only a iew small herds left in the country, saved by some of our far-sighted citizens who have gone before. The Bison, as well as many other animals such as the Elk, Deer, Moose, Antelope and many others were present in large numbers. They have been almost destroyed. Our American Indian killed as he required their meat for food or their fur for clothing. Beyond this these animals were allowed to increase in numbers. With .the coming of the white man they were not only slain for food and clothing, but they were slaughtered by the thousands for sport, and in most cases their carcass- es left to decay. Commercial ac- tivities were and^are responsible for the killing off of untold thousands of these animals until today there are a very few left""'and, unless steps are taken to preserve the remaining ones, another dark record will have been added to history's pages. The birds have also-suffered and many of our beautifully colored ones have been destroyed by the heathenish hab- it of head-dress, commonly known as millinery. Have you ever sat in the midst of a dense forest, far re- moved from the turmoil of the city, and experienced the thrill that comes over you when you listen to the sweet song of a bird, the chattering of a squirrel or perhaps the plaintive note of a Bob White, or quail, as he is known? "Oh, Boy! Isn't it a Grand and Glorious feeling?" Does it not make you breathe a prayer of thank- fulness that it is your good fortune to be one of God's creatures placed here among such ideal surroundings, nat- ural surroundings which send the red blood coursing through the arteries our womanhood: W.
