Game Wardens
During Mid-May
AUSTIN—Five regional offices
of the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department have been designated
to interview applicants for the new
Cadet Warden corps just created
to help man the summertime lake
safety patrol.
Fifty cadets will be selected to
serve with the expanded warden
force assigned to enforce the new
state safety code on Texas water-
ways.
The summer routine also will
serve as a manpower source for the
following regular warden training
school.
The period of duty for the ca-
dets will be from June 1 through
August 31. They will be paid $397
per month and will be outfitted in
“flight suit” uniforms for the ap-
prentice service.
Primarily, the cadets will be
used to assist the warden patrol in
everything but actually performing
law enforcement duties. This is be-
cause they will not be commission-
ed as actual game wardens.
Emphasis in the pre-duty train-
ing for cadets will be in boat op-
eration and maintenance, and first
aid routine.

Whoopers Loafing
On Return Trip To
Winter Quarters
AUSTIN—New strategy to aug-
ment Whooping Crane survival ef-
forts crackles from both ends of
the rare birds continental life line
yet there’s a suspenseful flight
pattern gap as disclosed by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment.
All of the majestic birds have
left their exclusive wintering area
on the Texas Gulf coast but, at
latest reading, none had completed
the 2500 mile hop to their summer
nesting grounds in Northwest Ter-
ritory.
The strategy features long-con-
templated plans to take perhaps
six eggs from the nests of “chron-
ically indifferent” Whoopers and
jet them back to the states for in-
cubation experiments starring do-
mestic fowl.
Meanwhile, back on the Aransas
National Wildlife Refuge, there is
equally intense scheming to pro-
vide adequate sustenance during
the giant cranes’ October through
March stay. Supplemental feeding
has been necessary because natural
nourishment from salt water crus-
taceans and such, has been curtail-
ed by pollution and erosion.
