...because this is a likely sequence of events but because most insurance companies seem to think it is, sportsmen have a hard time getting insured against sporting injuries. Most companies will pay only part of an accident policy's values for injuries incurred at games or in the hunting field. A man who admits that he plays polo constantly, rides to hounds, steeplechases or drives a racing motorboat, is lucky to get a policy at all.

Most conservationists, well grounded in one phase or another of the problem of preserving furred, feathered and fishy creatures for some 15,000,000 U. S. sportsmen to pursue, feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the problem's multiple aspect-biological, ecological, argricutural, political, economic, legislative, administrative. Nearly everyone agreed when rotund, bright-eyed Major Littleton Waller Taswall Waller Jr. of Meadowbrook, Pa., son of the soldier who rescued Herbert Hoover & wife in the Boxer Uprising, declared, "Lack of educated man power is the only thing wrong with game conservation." Major Waller was applauded for a three-point program...
