berkshire eaglo pktisflold mass and was written by hal borland wo iwllove it is good enough to bear repeating the false conservationists a new note is being sounded horo and there in talks and state ments abou consorvatlon nobody is actually harping on it yet but it is hoard in at range now quarters and it usually is pro- aanted in tho ftulso of swoot reasonableness the themo seoms to be oh coma now lots not be fanatic thou conservation people have to live too lots bo sonslblo it is a kind of soft impeachment hinting that the conservationists have been ignoring people and their noeds which is not trim i dont know wtioro it started but it has a subtlo odor i wouldnt call it altogether fishy but it does havo a fishy taint and i mean tha snwll of dead fish such as thoso in tho mississippi and in lake sabago and in lakes and siroams all ovor tho country particularly those that havo boon sprayed or have caught tho drainage from heavy sprayings of chlorlnatod hydrocarbons every time i hear this now slant i think of the battle ovor the pesticides and the counterattack that was attempted without too much success by tbo chemical combine as thoyusodto ay you dont havo to stranglo a cat you can choke it wlthbuttor i begin to hear it said that the balance of nature is not real and never was that man has already altered tho balances an i they can never be the same again so the argumont goes why talk about restoring or maintaining a balance actually no sensible naturalists or conservationists insist that tho is an inflexible balance of nim because thoy of all people know that the whole sclnime of nature is oik of change what they do insist is that man as well as othor form- of life suiters when the prevailing balanco s violently upset ones you kill off the forms of life with which man can live 111 relative ease and safety the most hostile forces tako ovor and that is what happens too often when extreme moasuros aro taken to provide quick solutions for some immediate problem it tsnt so much a matter of upsetting balances tho balance is upset every time a ubw dam ts built a major highway is ballt or a stand of trees is cut on a wood lot bui such an iv t doesnt kill off the friendly wild creatures and encourage a popu lation explosion of the unfriendly ones man certainly ts a factor in any environment whore he lives he has the means of making himself olthor comfortable or misur- able but he is by no means the sole member of any environ ment he is in fact a minority member which those now apolo gists seem to forget i am hearing again in less combative term tha old argu ment that the loss of a few birds doesnt really matter this la the same old theme what do a few robins matter i have never haard anyone except a few sentimentalists insist tha a few robins are vitally important if their loss brings lasting tains the point is that it never stops with a few robins itjreaches out to all kinds of friendly life aud by friendly i do not mim only birds that sing cheery songs or cute little bunnies i moan toads and frogs and fish and field mice and eagles and snakes and oppossums all forms of life that help keep in check the biting gnawing sucking crawling pests of dooryard garden and farm field i am also hearing again tho argument that public reservations should be made more public that wilderness areas should be tamed and nude less wild that parks would bo more useful if ve turned them over- to the developers yet those who say these things insist that they are conservationists there is a twofold dinger in such talk first it perverts the wmaniwg of conservation which means to conserve to save who can restore a wilderness that has been tamed who will clean up a river once it is polluted who can restore a moun tain that has been despoiled second such talk excuses despoliation if it is done in the name of public use use for everybody actually it says with out quite saying it that those who present this argument have no respect for mountains or wilderness areas or rivers or lakes unwas thay can be urbanised and citified and stripped of their bttural character and beauty they want to make them profitable thay want to make some money out of public property or out of the currant belief that there must be instant solutions to very problem such as gypsy moths this new note is not yet very loud but it is growing the unto u coming when sharp answers must be given i hope the true occ recognise this talk for what it is aad see the threat bahlnd it are charlie mccrarj stovon ward brian storey charlie allan terry nelron who
