 committee in our Association. It will be called 

 Recreation, Wildlife, and Natural Beauty. At 

 present, it will have the status of a sub- 

 committee under the Program and Research Stand- 

 ing Committee. Here it will remain until it 

 has become well enough organized to be given the 

 standing committee rating.

 Montana, to be its first Chairman, and I feel 

 he will get things off and working in good 

 shape. 



This business of recreation has been looked on 

 with a very suspicious eye, but it seems obvious 

 that we have a real opportunity to help develop 

 this resource in an orderly manner by having our 

 Soil and Water Conservation Districts take the 

 lead in developing good inventories and plans 

 so as to bring order out of confusion when our
