Dickinson New President Stressing the need for an intensified conservation and anti-pollution pro- gram, the Izaak Walton League of America through its 200,000 members has set as its goal the preservation for posterity of all natural resources of the outdoors and elimination and pre- vention of pollution in the lakes and streams of the nation. Evidence presented by national au- thorities at the recent convention of the league held in Chicago depicting the deplorable condition of many bodies of fresh water, has urged the great sportsmen's organization on to greater efforts. The present nation- wide anti-pollution campaign, inaugur- ated several months ago by league headquarters, has accomplished much good, but poisoning of the rivers and lakes still continues, according to league officials. A closer co-operation with various industries and state health officials will be one of the methods of combatting the tainting of the waters. In some sections of the United States, waters are so badly pol- luted that they are beyond redemption. Making Progress Many natural beauties and wonders of the great out-of-doors are fast diminishing, and measures adopted at the recent Walton gathering were formulated with the intent of bringing to a quick close the causes responsible. Unless prompt action be taken by the general public, Walton officials agree, as do state and government men, the fauna and flora of today, in several instances, will become things of the past relegated with prehistoric mon- sters. As an example of what the league is doing in the way of con- servation, 20,000 elk in the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, district have been fed and quartered during the winter months through an appropriation set aside for that purpose. Between 3,500 and 5,000 sportsmen and conservationists, including dele- gates from more than 2900 league chapters, attended the annual conven- tion in what is said to be the largest conservation meeting ever held.

Hoover, who was guest of honor and principal speaker at the an- nual banquet, were in attendance at the various business sessions. One of the most important meetings held dur- ing the course of the three-day con- clave was the pollution symposium, presided over by Dr. Henry Baldwin Ward, of the University of Illinois faculty. Dr. Ward, who is a national director of the Izaak Walton league, Dr. William D. Hatfield, director of the league's pollution department; Dr. Gordon Maskew Fair of Harvard Uni- versity and several other pollution au- thorities spoke at this symposium. Meet in Omaha in 1928 The next Walton league convention was awarded to Omaha, Nebraska, where it will be held in 1928. Judge Jacob M. Dickinson, of Chi- cago, was unanimously elected na- tional president of the league, suc- ceeding Charles W. Folds, of Chicago, who asked to be retired. Judge Dick- inson is the father of J. M. Dickinson, Jr., of Winnetka. He has been affiliated with the League for many years, having served for several years on the national executive committee and also as president of the Chicago chapter. Five vice presidents were named: Senator IL. G. Bradford, South Bend, Ind.; Judge Henry Graass, Green Bay, Wis.; Judge Escar Floyd, Dallas, Texas: Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, New York, and James Heyworth, Chi- cago. Fred N. Peet of Chicago was reelected national secretary, and Thornhill Broome, also a Chicago man, was again named national treas- urer. . methods of the 52 9L IL IL IRLILILILILILILILILILILILILILIL IL IL IL IL IL IE!
