D ave Nature is an inalienable part of human na- ture. We can never blaspheme against it alone. Exterminate, and you shall be ex- terminated. Don't care, and one day, per- haps too late, you or your children will be made to care bitterly. Evolution holds no special brief, no elect place for man. It's only favorite is the species that keeps the options open. The nightmare of our cen- tury is that so many of man's options are closing on him. A main reason for this is that the individual increasingly lets society and its label-words usurp his own role and responsibility. We all know that we have to get things right between ourselves and the other forms of life on this crowded planet. What we don't or won't, know is that the getting right cannot be left to govemment, to the people who are paid to care. I make no apology for saying it again. Conserva- tion can never be someone else caring. It is you caring. Now. ,wx - .- - s- , :N , 5qw1g,, pn, n M Q U I f-X 'Tr .V-.

PN ,ll , It 1 , . We went once around the field and then along a half-mile drive of elms, being cheered all the way, and I seemed to feel I was in the lead as we went out by the gate and into the lane, though I wasn't interested enough to find out. The course was marked by splashes of whitewash gleaming on gateposts and trunks and stiles and stones, and a boy with a waterbottle and bandage-box stood every half-mile waiting for those that dropped out or fainted. Over the first stile, without trying, I was still nearly in the lead but oneg and if any of you want tips about running, never be in a hurry, and never let any of the other runners know you are in a hurry, and never let any of the other runners lmow you are in a hurry even if you are. You can always overtake on long-distance running without letting the others smell the hurry in you, and when you've used your craft like this to reach the two or three up front then you can do a big dash later that puts everybody else's hurry in the shade because you've not had to make haste up until then. I ran to a steady jog-trot rhythm, and soon it was so smooth that I forgot I was running, and I was hardly able to know that my legs were lifting and falling and my arms going in and out, and my lungs didn't seem to be working at all, and my heart stopped that wicked thumping I always get at the beginning of a run. Because you see I never race at all, I just run, and somehow I know that ifl forget I'm racing and only jog-trot along until I don't know I'm running I always win the race. . . and I wonder if I'm the only one in the running business with this system of forgetting that I'm running because I'm too busy thinking. . . I trotted on along the edge of a field bordered by the sunken lane, smelling green grass and honeysuckle, and I felt as though I came from a long line of whippets trained to run on two legs. . . and I could just see the corner of the fenced-up copse in front where the only manl had to pass to win the race was going all out to gain the half-way mark. Then he turned into a tongue of trees and bushes where I couldn't see him anyinore, and I couldn't see anybody, and I knew what the loneliness of the long-distance runner running across country felt like, realizing that as far as I was concerned this feeling was the only honesty and re alness there was in the world and I knowing it would be no different ever, no matter what I feld at odd times, and no matter what anybody else tried to tell me. It was hard to understand, and all I knew was that you had to run, run, run, without knowing why you were running, but on you went through fields you didn't understand and into woods that made you afraid, over hills without knowing you'd been up and down, and shooting across streams that would have cut the heart out of you had you fallen into them. And the winning post was no end to it, even though crowds might be cheering you in, because Steve David Doug Dan Dave Mike Barry Feeley Ferrari Ferrari Ferree Ferriera Feulner Ferro Q I A ., ae: . g l at as jp X Q i f-1? ,I , I 14 s 5 I. afff 'I 1 i I .
