April 8, 1927 WILMETTE LIFE 19 .... , (Contributed) · 1'he death of Will H. Dilg, founder of the Izaak Walton League of America, was noted in: the papers last week. ~ack. of this lies the story of a great tdeal brought to the public's attention but a few years ago and that developed almost overnight into a powerful organization, nation-wide in scope, and surprising in the constructive work that it has already accomplished. Dilg, an advertising man, with a keen sense of the dramatic, with an unbounded enthusiasm, and a supreme belief in the idea, found a ready response in every part of the country, from men who loved the woods, men who loved the waters, men who loved the mountains, or the valleys, men who loved the wild life found therein, and he welded these into a national organization h~ving local chapters running into the thousands, and an individual membership counted b,· the hundreds of thousands. · One of the leagues' accomplishment s is the "Wild Game Refuge" bordering the Mississippi river and touching three states. It has been suggested that \Nill Dilg's final resting place be on one of the high hills looking out ovrr the river and this Game Refuge. lt ,.,.·ould seem that a fitting memorial there, to the man, and the ideal, would hecome a shrine to all Joyers of this fair country our ours. Thousands Mourn Set Up Radio Station to Hear Realty Leader Passing of Dilg, Having a radio station set up exFirst W altonian pressly for his speech wa.s the novel experience of Mr. C. C.
