PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT 



Mr. G. O. Shields is no longer connected with Recreation. 



In the future the magazine will be issued under the editorship of Dan Beard. 



We shall continue to wage an uncompromising fight for the protection and 

 conservation of all game. 



We shall advocate such legal action as will place the bag or catch limit upon 

 a sane basis all over the country. 



We shall assist in the formation and passage of laws prohibiting the t OUR 

 shipment or transportation of game, except in limited quantities, and then FUTURE 

 only when accompanied by the party or parties who killed it. POLICY 



We shall advocate the prohibition of the sale of gam\e. 



We shall further assist in every possible way, clubs and associations, in per- 

 fecting the existing game laws, in effecting their wise and just administration. 



We shall also ask for the extension of appropriations for the proper and 

 economic restocking of wood and stream with game and fish, and to this end 

 will use our influence with state and government officials for more forest pre- 

 serves, with better plans for the propagating of game and a wider field of use- 

 fulness for our National and State commissions. 



We hope to leave the game hog to wallow in his own mire with good officials 

 EXIT THE to watch him so that his snout may be kept from appearing in this mag- 

 "GAME azine. We think that the valuable space heretofore occupied by him, 

 HOG " can be put to better purpose. 



We shall not attempt to say that our way is the only way to protect and preserve the 

 interest of the true sportsman, but we shall co-operate with all who have the cause of 

 true fish and game protection at heart. 



We cannot hope to reach this practical, common-sense view of the situation 



by reason alone.
