l 4 I I € t ] 400Hinton News Tues. Jan. 23, 1979 Sc!entists Find Possible -Evidence of Gravity Waves A research team at the Un- iversity of Massachusetts has found experimental evidence that they believe directly sup- ports the existence of gravita- tional waves. Such waves, long hypothesiz- ed but never directly observed, are in some ways similar to radio waves, but are bast  -1 the forces of gravity rather than those of electricity and mag- netism. The existence of grav- ity waves is one of the long- standing but heretofore untest- ed predictions of Einstein&apos;s gen- eral theory of relativity. Gravity is the force that not only makes an apple fall to the ground and keeps our bodies from flying off into space but is th,: "glue" that holds our solar system and the universe tog- ether. The possible evidence for the existence of gravitational waves was presented by Dr. Joseph H. Taylor, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Massachusetts, at a symposium on relativistic astrophysics held in Munich, West Germany, Dec- ember 14-18. The new experimental data came as the result of a four- year program of monitoring the radio emissions from a pulsar located some 15,000 light years from the earth, in a distant portion of our Galaxy. Pulsars are believed to be the remains of dying stars that have ex- ploded, leaving behind small,. rapidly spinning remnants so dense that a teaspoonful of the material weighs a billion .tons. Millions of pulsars are thought to exist in our galaxy, although most of them are invisible to even our most sensitive radio telescopes. About 320 have been detected, mostly by the Univ- ersity of Massachusetts group and its collaborators in England and Sydney, Australia. The pulsar monitored by the Massachusetts scientists was discovered by them in 1974, and is known to be orbiting another massive object-- perhaps another pulsar, or perhaps a black hole-- because its repet- itive "beeps" of emission speed up and slow down over a regular pattern lasting a little less than 8 hours. Einstein's theory predicts that such a system should emit gravitational waves that slovly extract energy from the orbit, thereby causing the pulsar and its companion to move closer together. As the size of the orbit decreases, the length of time required for the pulsar to com- plete an orbit also decreases. According to Dr. Taylor, leader of the group, relativity theory predicts that the orbit period should decrease at a rate of one ten-thousandth of a second par year. The measured amount is almost precisely this value, or about four ten-thousandths of a second since late 1974. Thus an important prediction, based on an application of Einstein's theory that could not have been foreseen sixty years ago, appears to have been verified. Dr. Taylor said the finding will give much impetus to exper- imental work underway at num. erous laboratories around the world, directed to actual det- ection of the- gravitational waves themselves, as well as to further theoretical studies of the theory of relativity. Dr. Tayior's colleagues in this experiment include Dr. Peter M. McCulloch, on temporary leave from the University of Tasmania, and Lee A. Fowler, a graduate student. The Univer- sity of Massachusetts' research on pulsars has been funded by the National Science Foundat- ion beginning in 1968, a few weeks after the first pulsar was discovered by radio astronom- ers in Cambridge, England. Only one pulsar, the one used in the present study, is known to be a member of an orbiting pair, Dr. Taylor said. Because it moves at a speed of over 660,000 miles per hour and is subject to the very strong gravitational forces exerted by its compan- ion, this pulsar is uniquely well- suited for detection of the eff- ects of gravitational waves. Observations of the orbiting pulsar were made with the largest radio telescope in the world, a 1,000-foot diameter, bowl-shaped antenna operated by the National Astronomy and ionosphere Center near the city of Arecibo, Puerto, Rico. It is the only radio telescope sen- sitive enough to make accur- ate measurements of the orbit- ing pulsar.

TO BE EQUAL Federal budget a battleground By VERNON E. JORDAN JR. Copley News Service The administration is send- Ing strong signals that the next budget will be an "aust- erity" budget, with deep cuts all across the board. Well, almost all across the board. Military spending will go up. Some federal opera- tions will be held to an in- crease roughly comparable with inflation. But the ax is being sharp- ened to slash federal job and housing programs. When you consider the enormous waste In some fed- eral spending programs -- shoveling out huge sums of money to affluent suburbs and mile-wide tax loopholes and tax subsidies that benefit the rich -- cutting social pro- grams is outrageous. If sacrifices are demanded to restrain inflation, they should not be borne by the poorest among us. And that's who would take it on the chin if the rumors coming out of Washington are accurate. Poor people depend on fed- eral job creation programs and subsidized housing. They need the health, income maintenance and training programs government pro- vides. And those programs aren't just frills, icing on the cake. No, they have become essen- tial for survival. Cut those programs and you cut the • few strands left on the inade- quate safety net our society places beneath the poor. Cuts in those programs would de- liver a fatal blow to many people's lives and hopes. If the government is se- rious about trimming federal spending, those programs should be the last to be cut, not the first. Other targets are far more inviting, and would not result in worsening the already desperate situa- tion many people find them- selves in. A Brookings Institution study found that the Penta- gon's civilian payroll in- eludes an estimated billion dollars of waste in unneces- sary personnel and in inflat- eel salaries. Some analysts suggest mil- itary spending could be cut drastically with no loss in defense firepower. Whatever the merits of such analyses, most people agree that the defense establishment could be leaner and still retain its effectiveness. While calling for austerity, the President signed a bill raising pensions for non- wounded veterans, an act that will add billions to the budget over the next few years. And while the administra- tion works on cutting social expenditures that aid the clt- ies, it is planning a multi- billion dollar civil defense program. No one suggests such a program would be effective in case of nuclear attack. But by going through the expensive motions of planning a civil defense pro- gram we're supposed to be convincing the Russians that we're "tough." Another bloated budget area can be found in the pork barrel projects favored by the very congressmen who yell loudest about cutting urban programs. The Presi- dent acted boldly last sum- ' mer when he vetoed a rivers and dams bill, but billions are still spent on those non- priority projects that benefit relatively few people. Another popular pork bar- rel federal program is the continuing massive amount spent on highway construc- tion, something that ought to be a state responsibility now that the interstate highway system is in place. Revenue sharing monies are not targeted and are given to every local govern- ment whether it needs the aid or not. They could be re- placed with targeted funds that tackle priority problems creatively. The reason for cutting the budget is to keep the deficit down, something that could be accomplished by expand- ing tax revenues through that tax reform we've been promised for so long. So there are alternatives to slicing programs that are needed by the poor and by our deteriorating cities. The federal budget is shaping up as a bloody battleground where the poor become sacri- riced to the comforts of spe- Cial interests and the affluent. The administration needs to be reminded that social programs and their benefici- aries have been practicing austerity for a long time. Now it's someone else's turn. "Jamboree In The Hills" The heavy coats and sweaters were stacked in a corner of the dressing room and The Pitts- burgh Stealers donned T-shirts with "Jamboree in the Hills" sprea d across the front in ant- icipation of this year's annual mid-summer classic under the leadership of Jamboree U.S.A. officials. The group of Pittsburgh Steal- ers wasn't the one headed for Miami and Super Bowl XIII, but instead the musical aggregation which performs behind the Kendalls, the father-daughter duo which started setting the country music world on fire about a year and a half ago. The January 6 performance by the Kendalis on Jamboree U.S.A. in Wheeling, West Vir- ginia was a warm-up for the July 14 and 15 country music festival which will feature The Kendalis as one of the top performing acts. "We sure are looking forward to "Jamboree In the Hills," Royce said between Jvjnboree U.S.#:. performances. "I love to sing when people enjoy it and from all we've heard about "Jamboree In the Hills" it's not only a big event for the fans but the artists also enjoy it and really get into the act. For Jeannie, who has been singing professionally for nine years, the Jamboree U.S.A. reputation is the epitome of what country artists work for. "You work hard for some- thing you believe in and then you enjoy the success. What we've realized after working so hard for nine years has brought us closer together as a family. Even though we were a close family" before, we're much closer now." Royce echoed her sentiments. "it's a very fulfilling thing we've always wanted and always worked for. I always knew we had a different sound so I told myself to 'just hang in there.' "We've always been to- gether," he added, "and now here we are starting another year on the heels of the bus- lest year of our lives. We just want to work to make this year as good as 1978." In 1978, The Kendalls knocked music world on its heels with "Heaven's Just A Sin Away." The Number One hit was quick- ly followed by "It Don't Feel Like Sinnin' to Me" and "Pitts- • burgh Stealers." Both Royce and Jeannie feel that The Kendalls worked hard enough at paying their dues that the pressures of being success- ful are worth every hit tune they record. "I really don't feel the pre- sures that much," Jeannie said, "Because we worked so hard getting, that first number one song. i just love the success and keep looking forward to more hit tunes." Her father added, "I'm really an easy going person so the pressures really don't bother me that much, and we've al- ways liked to travel so as we do we look for new material and hope that every record to make ds good enot/gh to be another number one record. "Everyone likes to be succ- essful and I think our sound is such that we can change with the times. Our sound has arrived. It's a different sound that young people appreciate, as well as those who like the heavy country sound. "i grew up on heavy country musid," Royce added, "and there are a lot of super coun- try singers around. That's what makes us work harder, and it makes us appreciate our succ- ess even more," he added. As the cold winter winds blow snow over their path to one- night stands, "The Kendalls, and their entire family- consist- ing of The Pittsburgh Stealers- say they are anxiously looking forward to the summer months ahead and a return to the Wheeling area for the annual mid- summer classic that's be- coming a tradition in country music- "'Jamboree In the Hills." Helping Prevent Cancer Extracts of wheat sprouts, mung beaus, and lentils display a powerful action against chem- ical mutagens in bacterial tests and are being examined for cancer-preventing ability in mice, it was reported recently at the 34th Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Chem- ical Society in Corpus Christi, Texas If animal studies bear out results obtained so far on bact- eria, "it would lend support to the dietary goals recommended by the McGovern subcommitt- ee, that is less meat, fat, and more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains in the American diet," reported Dr. Chiu-Nan lai of the University of Texas Sy- stem Cancer Center, Houston. Coauthors of the report are Drs. Betty J. Dabney and Charles R. Shaw. Chlorophyll is the major act- ive constituent of wheat extract. In green plants chlorophyll is responsible for converting sun- light into chemical energy. By itself, chlorophyll is a patent inhibitor of Be chemical mut- agens, requiring only small amounts to produce an effect, said Dr. Lai in a telephone interview. Application of extract to pot- ent chemical mutagens such as 2- acetylamionfluorene diminished activity in the Ames test for mutagens by up to 99 percent. The popular Ames test measures the ability of chem- icals to mutate bacterial cells-- an indication of possible care- inogenicity, the authors say in a summary of their report. A reasonably low level of extract strongly inhibited the activation of carcinogens; moreover the wheat sprout ex- tract is nontoxic even at high levels, they report. Most sub- stances that inhibit carcinogens are toxic at medium to high levels. The usefulness of the extract is limited, however, to those chemicals which require acti- vation by body enzymes before they can exert a mutagenic effect. Raw grains and vegetables might be recommended, based on the authors' finding that the inhibitory effect• declined after heating the extract for 15 minutes at 50 degrees Celsius. Activity also depends upon the amount of chlorophyll in a plant, they note, adding: "The wheat sprout was not unique in possessing inhibitory activity in the mutagenic assay. Two other sprouts, mung bean and lentil, demonstrated similar inhibitory activities. However, extracts from carrots and parsley exhibited inhibitory activity not as patent as those of wheat. Extracts from wheat soaked overnight and unsprout- ed did not demonstrate any inhibitory activities." Subsequent analyses revealed that carrots and parsley con- tain less chlorophyll than the sprouts, said Dr. Lai. To extend these observations to living animals, the authors are examining the effect of" extract on mice treated with a chemical known to produce colon cancer. Results are un- available as yet. To prepare the extract, the authors pounded the roots and leaves over ice, retaining the juice. After oentrifuging undil- uted juice, they sterilized the clean fluid. Only sprouts grown from one to two weeks un. til they were four to five in- ches high showed any activity. While the extract was most effective against acetylamino- fluorene, it also reduced the activity of benzo (a) pyrene, found, everywhere in the environment. Aflatoxin B1, found in moldy peanuts, lost more than one-half'of its mut- agenicity in the presence of extract, the authors note. National Wildlife W "Conserve Our Wildlife" will be the theme for the 1979 observance of National Wildlife Week, March 18 through 24. More than 13 million school- children, teachers, and conserv- 'ation-minded citizens are ex- pected to participate in the 42nd annual observance of the week- first proclaimed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 as Wildlife Restoration Week. A cougar, poised to spring from a mountain crag, is this year's poster animal. More than 400,000 copies of the cougar poster, and another 200,000 copies of a second poster, bear- ing photographs of 16 species of wildlife, are being distributed to schools and conservation groups in all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Three hundred thousand education kits, containing post- ers, badges, and activity book- lets, are being mailed to teachers. In addition, 55,000 smaller kits are going directly to children throughout the country, with letters urging them to spread the conservation message. "This year we want to em- phasize the meaning of conser- vation," said NWF President Dr. Fred R. Scroggin, a Dry Ridge, Ky., physician. "Conser- vation means planning for the future , knowing the needs of people and wildlife, and work- ing to make sure these needs are met. It means using our natural resources wisely."

'Once the most widely dist- ributed land mammal in the western hemisphere, the cougar was the target of "pest" con- trol for nearly two centuries. Until recently, a number of states encouraged the killing of cougars by paying bounties. Today, there are only about 16,000 cougars in the western portions of the U.S. and Canada. Two subspecies, the Florida panther and the Eastern coug- ar are endangered and pro- tected according to wildlife management principles. Fortunately, most states have discontinued bounty payments, and in many states the cougar is managed as a game animal which can he hunted, but only under conditons restricting the number taken. Meanwhile, biol- ogists are conducting research on the cougar to improve and expand conservation efforts. On the reverse of the NWF cougar poster is an illustrated explanation of how conservat- ion can help the cougar and other wildlife, with "come- back" stories of how the beav- er, pronghorn, and trumpeter ' P.

TO BE EQUAL Federal budget a battleground By VERNON E. JORDAN JR. Copley News Service The administration is send- Ing strong signals that the next budget will be an "aust- erity" budget, with deep cuts all across the board. Well, almost all across the board. Military spending will go up. Some federal opera- tions will be held to an in- crease roughly comparable with inflation. But the ax is being sharp- ened to slash federal job and housing programs. When you consider the enormous waste In some fed- eral spending programs -- shoveling out huge sums of money to affluent suburbs and mile-wide tax loopholes and tax subsidies that benefit the rich -- cutting social pro- grams is outrageous. If sacrifices are demanded to restrain inflation, they should not be borne by the poorest among us. And that's who would take it on the chin if the rumors coming out of Washington are accurate. Poor people depend on fed- eral job creation programs and subsidized housing. They need the health, income maintenance and training programs government pro- vides. And those programs aren't just frills, icing on the cake. No, they have become essen- tial for survival. Cut those programs and you cut the • few strands left on the inade- quate safety net our society places beneath the poor. Cuts in those programs would de- liver a fatal blow to many people's lives and hopes. If the government is se- rious about trimming federal spending, those programs should be the last to be cut, not the first. Other targets are far more inviting, and would not result in worsening the already desperate situa- tion many people find them- selves in. A Brookings Institution study found that the Penta- gon's civilian payroll in- eludes an estimated billion dollars of waste in unneces- sary personnel and in inflat- eel salaries. Some analysts suggest mil- itary spending could be cut drastically with no loss in defense firepower. Whatever the merits of such analyses, most people agree that the defense establishment could be leaner and still retain its effectiveness. While calling for austerity, the President signed a bill raising pensions for non- wounded veterans, an act that will add billions to the budget over the next few years. And while the administra- tion works on cutting social expenditures that aid the clt- ies, it is planning a multi- billion dollar civil defense program. No one suggests such a program would be effective in case of nuclear attack. But by going through the expensive motions of planning a civil defense pro- gram we're supposed to be convincing the Russians that we're "tough." Another bloated budget area can be found in the pork barrel projects favored by the very congressmen who yell loudest about cutting urban programs. The Presi- dent acted boldly last sum- ' mer when he vetoed a rivers and dams bill, but billions are still spent on those non- priority projects that benefit relatively few people. Another popular pork bar- rel federal program is the continuing massive amount spent on highway construc- tion, something that ought to be a state responsibility now that the interstate highway system is in place. Revenue sharing monies are not targeted and are given to every local govern- ment whether it needs the aid or not. They could be re- placed with targeted funds that tackle priority problems creatively. The reason for cutting the budget is to keep the deficit down, something that could be accomplished by expand- ing tax revenues through that tax reform we've been promised for so long. So there are alternatives to slicing programs that are needed by the poor and by our deteriorating cities. The federal budget is shaping up as a bloody battleground where the poor become sacri- riced to the comforts of spe- Cial interests and the affluent. The administration needs to be reminded that social programs and their benefici- aries have been practicing austerity for a long time. Now it's someone else's turn. "Jamboree In The Hills" The heavy coats and sweaters were stacked in a corner of the dressing room and The Pitts- burgh Stealers donned T-shirts with "Jamboree in the Hills" sprea d across the front in ant- icipation of this year's annual mid-summer classic under the leadership of Jamboree U.S.A. officials. The group of Pittsburgh Steal- ers wasn't the one headed for Miami and Super Bowl XIII, but instead the musical aggregation which performs behind the Kendalls, the father-daughter duo which started setting the country music world on fire about a year and a half ago. The January 6 performance by the Kendalis on Jamboree U.S.A. in Wheeling, West Vir- ginia was a warm-up for the July 14 and 15 country music festival which will feature The Kendalis as one of the top performing acts. "We sure are looking forward to "Jamboree In the Hills," Royce said between Jvjnboree U.S.#:. performances. "I love to sing when people enjoy it and from all we've heard about "Jamboree In the Hills" it's not only a big event for the fans but the artists also enjoy it and really get into the act. For Jeannie, who has been singing professionally for nine years, the Jamboree U.S.A. reputation is the epitome of what country artists work for. "You work hard for some- thing you believe in and then you enjoy the success. What we've realized after working so hard for nine years has brought us closer together as a family. Even though we were a close family" before, we're much closer now." Royce echoed her sentiments. "it's a very fulfilling thing we've always wanted and always worked for. I always knew we had a different sound so I told myself to 'just hang in there.' "We've always been to- gether," he added, "and now here we are starting another year on the heels of the bus- lest year of our lives. We just want to work to make this year as good as 1978." In 1978, The Kendalls knocked music world on its heels with "Heaven's Just A Sin Away." The Number One hit was quick- ly followed by "It Don't Feel Like Sinnin' to Me" and "Pitts- • burgh Stealers." Both Royce and Jeannie feel that The Kendalls worked hard enough at paying their dues that the pressures of being success- ful are worth every hit tune they record. "I really don't feel the pre- sures that much," Jeannie said, "Because we worked so hard getting, that first number one song. i just love the success and keep looking forward to more hit tunes." Her father added, "I'm really an easy going person so the pressures really don't bother me that much, and we've al- ways liked to travel so as we do we look for new material and hope that every record to make ds good enot/gh to be another number one record. "Everyone likes to be succ- essful and I think our sound is such that we can change with the times. Our sound has arrived. It's a different sound that young people appreciate, as well as those who like the heavy country sound. "i grew up on heavy country musid," Royce added, "and there are a lot of super coun- try singers around. That's what makes us work harder, and it makes us appreciate our succ- ess even more," he added. As the cold winter winds blow snow over their path to one- night stands, "The Kendalls, and their entire family- consist- ing of The Pittsburgh Stealers- say they are anxiously looking forward to the summer months ahead and a return to the Wheeling area for the annual mid- summer classic that's be- coming a tradition in country music- "'Jamboree In the Hills." Helping Prevent Cancer Extracts of wheat sprouts, mung beaus, and lentils display a powerful action against chem- ical mutagens in bacterial tests and are being examined for cancer-preventing ability in mice, it was reported recently at the 34th Southwest Regional Meeting of the American Chem- ical Society in Corpus Christi, Texas If animal studies bear out results obtained so far on bact- eria, "it would lend support to the dietary goals recommended by the McGovern subcommitt- ee, that is less meat, fat, and more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains in the American diet," reported Dr. Chiu-Nan lai of the University of Texas Sy- stem Cancer Center, Houston. Coauthors of the report are Drs. Betty J. Dabney and Charles R. Shaw. Chlorophyll is the major act- ive constituent of wheat extract. In green plants chlorophyll is responsible for converting sun- light into chemical energy. By itself, chlorophyll is a patent inhibitor of Be chemical mut- agens, requiring only small amounts to produce an effect, said Dr. Lai in a telephone interview. Application of extract to pot- ent chemical mutagens such as 2- acetylamionfluorene diminished activity in the Ames test for mutagens by up to 99 percent. The popular Ames test measures the ability of chem- icals to mutate bacterial cells-- an indication of possible care- inogenicity, the authors say in a summary of their report. A reasonably low level of extract strongly inhibited the activation of carcinogens; moreover the wheat sprout ex- tract is nontoxic even at high levels, they report. Most sub- stances that inhibit carcinogens are toxic at medium to high levels. The usefulness of the extract is limited, however, to those chemicals which require acti- vation by body enzymes before they can exert a mutagenic effect. Raw grains and vegetables might be recommended, based on the authors' finding that the inhibitory effect• declined after heating the extract for 15 minutes at 50 degrees Celsius. Activity also depends upon the amount of chlorophyll in a plant, they note, adding: "The wheat sprout was not unique in possessing inhibitory activity in the mutagenic assay. Two other sprouts, mung bean and lentil, demonstrated similar inhibitory activities. However, extracts from carrots and parsley exhibited inhibitory activity not as patent as those of wheat. Extracts from wheat soaked overnight and unsprout- ed did not demonstrate any inhibitory activities." Subsequent analyses revealed that carrots and parsley con- tain less chlorophyll than the sprouts, said Dr. Lai. To extend these observations to living animals, the authors are examining the effect of" extract on mice treated with a chemical known to produce colon cancer. Results are un- available as yet. To prepare the extract, the authors pounded the roots and leaves over ice, retaining the juice. After oentrifuging undil- uted juice, they sterilized the clean fluid. Only sprouts grown from one to two weeks un. til they were four to five in- ches high showed any activity. While the extract was most effective against acetylamino- fluorene, it also reduced the activity of benzo (a) pyrene, found, everywhere in the environment. Aflatoxin B1, found in moldy peanuts, lost more than one-half'of its mut- agenicity in the presence of extract, the authors note. National Wildlife W "Conserve Our Wildlife" will be the theme for the 1979 observance of National Wildlife Week, March 18 through 24. More than 13 million school- children, teachers, and conserv- 'ation-minded citizens are ex- pected to participate in the 42nd annual observance of the week- first proclaimed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938 as Wildlife Restoration Week. A cougar, poised to spring from a mountain crag, is this year's poster animal. More than 400,000 copies of the cougar poster, and another 200,000 copies of a second poster, bear- ing photographs of 16 species of wildlife, are being distributed to schools and conservation groups in all 50 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Three hundred thousand education kits, containing post- ers, badges, and activity book- lets, are being mailed to teachers. In addition, 55,000 smaller kits are going directly to children throughout the country, with letters urging them to spread the conservation message. "This year we want to em- phasize the meaning of conser- vation," said NWF President Dr. Fred R. Scroggin, a Dry Ridge, Ky., physician. "Conser- vation means planning for the future , knowing the needs of people and wildlife, and work- ing to make sure these needs are met. It means using our natural resources wisely." The cougar, photographed for the National Wildlife Week post- er by John S. Flannery of Hyde Park, Utah, is an excellent example of why we must learn Jumping Branch News Joe Freeland of Nimitz re- turned home Tuesday, January 16 from the McGulre Hospital in Richmond, Va., where he had been a patient for several weeks.

Elected Trustee Eugene L. Staples, Director of West Virginia University Hospital in Morgantown, is the first West Virginian to be elect- ed as a member of the Board of Trustees of the American Ass- ociation. This appointment also includes the chairmanship of Regional Advisory Board 3 which includes West Virignia, Virginia Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina and Washington, D.C. Staples' four year term is from January 1, 1979 to Dec- embe 50, 1982 and encompass- es numerous health care res- ponsibilities. He will represent RAB 3 in Chicago during sch- eduled board meetings. He was president of the West Virginia Hospital Association in 1970 and 1971, was a board member for six (6) years and has served on a multitude of its committees over the years. Hospital the needs of animals, and plan for their future, Scroggin point- ed out. 'Once the most widely dist- ributed land mammal in the western hemisphere, the cougar was the target of "pest" con- trol for nearly two centuries. Until recently, a number of states encouraged the killing of cougars by paying bounties. Today, there are only about 16,000 cougars in the western portions of the U.S. and Canada. Two subspecies, the Florida panther and the Eastern coug- ar are endangered and pro- tected according to wildlife management principles. Fortunately, most states have discontinued bounty payments, and in many states the cougar is managed as a game animal which can he hunted, but only under conditons restricting the number taken. Meanwhile, biol- ogists are conducting research on the cougar to improve and expand conservation efforts. On the reverse of the NWF cougar poster is an illustrated explanation of how conservat- ion can help the cougar and other wildlife, with "come- back" stories of how the beav- er, pronghorn, and trumpeter ' P.
