Seth E. Gordon, formerly executive
officer of the .Pennsylvania Game
Commission and largely responsible
for the famous "Pennsylvania spstem"
of wild life conservation, will be in di-
rect charge of the conservation pro-
gram, which will not only be national
in scope, but will penetrate to every
county in America.
In conjunction with the new 'ob-
jective of a comprehensive conserva-
tion survey, made with the cooperation
of every' one of the 3,000 local chap-
ters, a move is being started to en-
large the size and scope of the Walton,
League so that it will attain a status
in keeping with the program ahead of
it, and with the great part being
played by outdoor recreation to acon-
stantly increasing degree in the lives
of the American people.
The league has been preparing for
the new phase of its existence for the
past two years, according to national
and local officials, and its program
contemplates the immediate formation
of an organization to embrace a mil-
lion member§, and to establish Wal-
tonism as the guiding star of conser-
vation and of the promotion of outdoor
ilffe of a scale never before attempted.
The new expansion program, which
will be carried on energetically by the
plans are being initiated to form a
niore closely knit 'state and community
oranization for the purpose of carry-
ing out the new plans.
The Walton League is consideredi
the largest conservation organization,
in its present status, that ever has
been formed in the world, and it has
attained a commanding position in
recreational affairs of the country. It
is a service body in operation, is non-I
profitable, non-political.
Secretary of Commerce Herbertj
Hoover is honorary president and an
active member of the directorate of
the league. Judge Jacob M. Dickinson,
former Secretary of War and former
president of the Anerican Bar Asso-
ciation, is president, and among na-!
tional officers and directors are Hal1
G. Evarts, Irvin Cobb, Robert H. Davis,
Jack Miner, George E. Scott, wartime
general manager of the Red Cross;
Glen Griswold, Col. Theodore Roose-
velt.
The league is six years old. It was
founded by Will H. Dilg, with the as-
sistance and backing of such men as
Emerson .Hough, Zane Grey, David
Starr Jordan, James Oliver Curwood,
Dr. Henry Van Dyke and many others
promient in conservation and public
affairs.
