Conservation And “Balance Of Potter” Theme Songs Of Second Audubon Screen Tour Last Night By MONA FIELDS Two important films were shown at last night’s Audubon Sereen Tour, the second in this year’s series, with Leonard Hall, erdemt and enthusiastic writer, lectures-end photographer from Mussogr, hort Hane, the sec- ond mained. “This nnd shigh wae, “The was * oe r ” The excel- aphy in both the films was well done by John’ f » well known photographer ef the Encyclopedia Britannica i Few birds were heard or seen either ef the two films shown, the real reason for the exis- of the Audubon Societies, fight.for intelligent conser- land, our water re- forests—in fact, for 4 LH i made apparent.

The slow building up of the land and the forests, leaf by leaf, from the stream beds was well contrasted with the rapid destruc- tion of the soil and forests by just a few year’s intensive single crop sowing, and unintelligent lumbering operations. Their sad fesults of: leaching or loss of minerals by erosion and loss of the all-important underground water-shed were brought home to all who saw last night’s films. Even where the grass would grow after intensive one-crop sowings such as are frequently done hehe in the southeast, the big-bellied cattle were doomed to death because of lack of such minerals as cobalt, copper, etc. As Mr. Hall frequently repeated during last night’s screen tours— “We are what we eat.” So if America is to have any future of. healthy, happy youngsters, all he leaves, birds controlling! of us must get behind conserva- ts doing their] tion organizations like the Audu- birds, larvae,| bon, and help maintain Nature’s the} balance of power with adequate tors controlling the rodents.! forest floors, deforestation and tant of| reforestation properly controlled lace too—j to maintain our water supply and reason of his intelligence,| protection of our wildlife so that when and where to ex-| we May enjoy some of their beauty as well as maintain the delicate balance of power.
