URGE CLUBS TO AID BOY SCOUTS IN PLAN FOR CONSERVATION Director Glen D Palmer of the state Department of Conservation uiges sportsmen's clubs and other civic organizations to take an active part in nelping the Boy Scouts of Americ.i carry out their 1954 slogan, "A. Good. Turn for Conservation." Since inauguration of the Scouts' 1954 conservation program, Palmer said, his department has been swamped with requests from Boy Scout councils and individual troopa for assistance. in performing their 3954 "good turn." ' "We have responded wherever possible," ilie" director said, "but • have been limited in what could be done 1>y a shortage of personnel available for that particular kind of work. Actually conservation projects - in which Boy Scouts can be the greatest help are local in nature and offer a real opportunity for local sportsmen and other organizations to get a real conservation job done, while at the same lime providing some educational and constructive work for these youthful leaders." Among other «projects is an experiment with cold water streams in the county where several conservation methods will be tried in an effort to discover best methods of keeping the streams clear and useful, especially for fish life. The Winnebago group, with the help of Scouts, proposes to plant trees along some streams, build small dams in others, and leave still others to the whi'ns of nature.. Results ai e expected to show the benefits of sound conservat ion practice*. 9:00 Ladies-- ^ Mi Place 3, Mark's 0. N. Fidler 440; C. Boone 442^ M. Powers 444; H. Conway 427; L. Paluch 202-501; G.

Bill Huemann pulled the trick at third base to end the inning and start a well-controlled bit of discussion. Woodstock claimed a balk. The umpires would not agree.
