Lang's editorial should cause many of us to think and think deeply and not be carried away entirely by the lure of platinums, pearl plat- inums and the various combina- tions of what we call the new type foxes. Above all other things must be kept pure and intact a select breeding herd of the finest silvers we can produce. and we must also not neglect in keeping that herd to have a variety of colorlngs rang- ing from the medium sliver to the extra pale. If we do this and the future finds that the trend towards lighter-and what we call the new- er types-commences to fade away. we will still have a safeguard and be able, to build up anew to the fox- es that were so delightful to the eye

We fccl that it is necessary to have at least 3.500.000 additional acres of marsh in strategic points before we can be absolutely assured of the safety of the migratory water- fowl populatlon. Tiliis acreage, if and when it is restored, will also mean much to all the nongame spec- ies that utilize marsh environments.

There is one other thing that should be mentioned in this very brief review of the present status of the refuge program; that is that ln 1939 there was dedicated near Wash-
