Notes
From President, Tom Holm
“Ding
Darling Sampler”
Just published: a new anthology of the editorial cartoons of J.N.
“Ding” Darling. The book is entitled “A Ding Darling Sampler”
and contains a selection of 200 of Darling’s best editorial
cartoons covering a wide range of subjects. The cartoons are as
applicable today as when they were drawn, the better part of a
century ago.
The book costs $14.95 plus mailing. It is available through
Publications Distributions at the University of Iowa
1-800-235-Book or 391-384-3808. (M-F 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.)
Darling believed that for conservation organizations to be most
effective, they had to work together. This strategy led to the
founding of the National Wildlife Federation of which he was
founder and the first President.

Environmental Council News Bulletin)
Board
Member Makes The News
Many of you may have seen the picture of our Board Member, Jim
Durbala, in the Des Moines Register’s January 23 sports page. It
appears he was demonstrating how to move a trout from the lake
to the freezer in one motion. Nice job Jim!

With Our
Sympathy
We morn the loss of
Paul Tuttle and Paul Stadlman, who recently passed away. We
extend our heartfelt sympathy to the families of these two fine
gentlemen.
Omission
From Last Newsletter
The expression of
thanks for stripping and waxing the floor omitted the name of
Bill Muilenburg, who was very much involved. I apologize for the
omission, Bill.
Quips to
Make Life Smoother & Lighter
- Life is not
about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well
you bounce.
- Life is
simpler when you plow around the stumps.
- Remember, a
bumble bee is faster than a riding lawn mower.
- You don’t have
to worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already
tomorrow in Australia. (Author: Charles Schultz)
- Don’t worry if
you’re a kleptomaniac, you can always take something for it.
Door Prizes
Note: We are
always in need of door prizes for the weekly drawing. See the
Program Chairman, Sonny Satre, if you can donate an item.
