The type of pu"6lication most needed concerns the various 

 branches of the Service and the local stations and its activities, includ- 

 ing lists of species of wildlife found in local areas. Next in importance 

 are conservation pamphlets and pamphlets on plant and animal identification. 



6. There appears to be considerable confusion in the minds of 

 people relative to the Fish and Wildlife Service and its role in conserva- 

 tion. Many field men report their work is confused by the public with 

 that of local State organizations. This situation should be remedied. 



7. The suggestion of an open house on a specific date as con- 

 ducted on the Hart Moxmtain Antelope Refuge during National Wildlife Week 

 appears appropriate. They used all media available in presenting a dy- 

 namic program of conservation education during the week. This program 

 should have Service-wide observation. 



8. The field men have not been kept informed of the films 

 and publications available for their use. If lists of available films, 

 slides, and publications were supplied them they would not only have the 

 use of these conservation education tools but be able to give the lists 

 to local schools, youth groups, and other organizations interested in 

 conservation. 



9. It has been pointed out quite definitely that the field 

 stations cannot wait for the public to come to them, but the personnel 

 must go to the public, if they are to do an effective job. The personnel 

 must also be fully informed of the need and the basis for conservation 

 education before they can accomplish the desired objective.
