The great outdoors is still extensive—untamed and wild as it was in the days of the pioneers. This is revealed by Arthur Newton Pack, president of the American Na- ture Association and associate editor of Nature Magazine. Mr. Pack, who probably knows more about this par- ticular subject than any other man in America points out that anyone who yearns to get out into the wilder- ness where he will neither see nor hear anything that reminds him of civilization can easily gratify his wish. “Some outdoor enthusiasts,” he ex- Plains, “got excited recently over the invasion of forest areas by highways and summer resorts, so the Forest Service undertook a study to deter- mine just how much of the areas of the national forests could still be classed as wilderness. Much Untamed Forest “Results showed approximately onc- third of the gross acreage of the na- tional forests is still sufficiently un- tamed to come under that class, and there are large areas which are in no immediate danger of the encroach- ment of gasoline fumes, bathtubs and other marks of civilization. “The Forest Service adopted the widest possible margin of safety, to minimize’ the possibility that some Person might lay a finger on a part of the map classed as wilderness and assert that he had driven his automo- bile to that point. The minimum size of a real “wilderness” area was taken as comprising 10 townships, 360 square miles, or 230,000 acres. It was determined that at present there are 74 areas, ranging from 360 to 10,859 square miles in extent, which, so far as can be determined, are without roads.” Thus there is still an abundance of space in this country which a nature lover can only reach afoot or on horseback. Far as the network of automobile roads reaches, it does not go everywhere. And Mr. Pack goes on: “This all refers to the national prints are the only reminders of clv- flization, where birds and animals only wonder at your coming, and why it took you so long to discover the real way to live. “I have made many trips into such regions and all my shooting has been done with a camera. Once you get atuned to the call of the bird and the song of the waterfall, you will not shoot with anything els “Everyone who h heard these calls is, of course, strong for more open spaces. The population growth of the nation demands them. Try to take Wade Park out of Cleveland, Forest Park out of St. Louis, Fair- mount Park out of Philadelphia, Rock Creek Park out of Washington or Central Park out of New York—it would be the quickest way I can think of to start a riot. Then think how much more the great open spaces are going to mean to this ever-growing nation. “Experts tell us that our population is growing at the rate of a million a year. That means a population of 150,000,000 by 1950 and 200,000,000 by the year 2000. As things go that date is not so far away. The best time to acquire these national play places then, is right now, because this great- est cash business in the world is con- stantly growin Mr. Pack likes to refer to nature as “the greatest cash business in the world.” He'll demonstrate for you that it deserves the title, too. Fifteen Million Fishers For instance: last year 15,000,000 fishing licenses were sold in this country. That means a sizable sum was spent merely for official fees. But that doesn’t begin to cover the total spent on fishing. Each of these 15,- 000,000 fishermen spent something for his pole and tackle. Most of them spent a good bit on other equipment. Many of them spent fancy sums to travel to and from the places where they intended to fish. All in all, fish- ing for sport caused the spending of a good many millions of dollars. Yet that is only a small subdivision of the general subject. Golf comes under the heading of outdoor recrea- tion—and if you'll stop to figure ‘on the money spent on golf in this coun- try last year, you'll agree that the total is growing. Then add the money WE CALL IT TOM CARR'S BURGLAR ALARM~ Iv 18 GOING LIKE WILD FIRE — PERMIT ME ‘TO HAND YOU YOUR, ROYALTIES FOR THE FIRST MONTHS SALE —$ 169, 387.58 — : CONGRATULATE.

What did Dick say?” “Poor George was simply falling all over himself, apologizing and trying to explain, and Dick told him to for- get it, that, as a matter of fact, he— George—would have done his daily Boy Scout good deed by bumping him off.
