Slaughter Threatens Golden Eagle Legislation Debate
National Audubon Society officials report Congress is considering a bill to protect the golden eagle, a victim of market hunting centered in Texas. Hunters shoot eagles from planes for bounties, feather marketing, and NAS cites a rancher claim that eagles menace sheep while the bird mainly preys on rabbits. John Casparrs of Alpine boasts 12,000 golden eagles killed in 20 years. The bald eagle has had federal protection since 1940, and pending law would cover both species.

Outdoor recreation urged in schools by MSU expert
Dr. Julian Smith of Michigan State University told the Outdoor Writers of Ohio banquet in Columbus that ninety percent of Americans take part in outdoor recreation. He urged schools to add individual recreation instruction to physical education, while not abandoning competitive sports. He also criticized the Lorain County Budget Commission for scrapping a 35000 operating fund for park operations, calling it a breach of faith. A new thermometer method could help game protectors prove violations by showing bird body temperatures at time of death. Ohio opens hunting seasons later than most Midwest states, with a short rabbit season and late season dates.
