S. Fish and Wildlife Service and repre- sentatives of the‘ Wildlife | Federation. Legislative approval will be | sought for an appropriation of $10,000. to enable the Department of Interior to maintain a warden in the area, provide fresh water- holes for the herd, purchase sup- plemental feed as might be need- | ed for the expanding herd, and | lease such land as might be vol- untarily leased to the Department for the sanctuary project. Wildlife officials have indi- cated that a sufficient number of property owners in the area have indicated their willingness to lease land for this project to provide the necessary sanc- tuary for the deer. Loéal opposition has been voiced to prior conservation plans because they would have given the Department ofthe Interior power to condemn lands in the en off the tax rolls by the Federal Government. However, the U. S. | Fish and Wildlife Service has) now agreed that while such pow- | er would be desirable, it is not necessary. | In recent years, the National | Wildlife Federation and the, Boone & Crockett Club have maintained a warden in the area and through the enforcement of | conservation laws, the rapidly dwindling herd increased from 35 to 70 during the past year and a/ half. State Representative Bernie C. Papy, in a call to The Citizen office said that the 1939 state law which he’ introduced regarding the Key Deer has been reg tae to protect the tiny animals from hunters but there was need for | 801 arrangement to be made for | the feeding of the deer. ee Adenauer Says | W.

For the Past several days, Burt Garnett and his moving crew have been busy hoisting the kennels from the ground in Poinciana, where they have been for the past six years, to make the trek to the Stock Island spot. The house where the humane agents, “Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hen- ning, and their children will live, was renovated and carpenters and painters have put finishing touches on the interior of the structure.

This will be one other project which the Humane Socie- ty is undertaking in connection with the entire job of improve- ment and expansion. Funds are low after the mov- ing and new set-up.
