California Condor Eben McMillan 1 June 1964 Numbers and thwart the present downward trend in their numbers, will only be a losing cause that will end up with the greater part of the blame for wildlife decimation falling on those who did too little and demanded not enough, of our Public Officials. Anyone with experience in handling working people should be able to foresee this need. In a business corporation a board of directors set at the top. Their only purpose is to see that any employee, from the Management down, who fails in his duty towards the Corporation, is moved out immediately. This watchfulness maintains a deep respect among all working personnel of said Corporation and allows it to move along with continual improvement. This feature Government bureaus lack, and the degeneration that sets in without a watchdog influence can be evidenced in the Forest Service today. Where is Jack Gains At Present? I am told he is still in the employment of the U.S. Forest Service and working in the district Rangers Office in Ojai. Now I am sure that any man who has had experience in management of private business would agree that Mr. Gains is doing himself, not anyone else, no lasting good by being maintained in the Las Padres National Forest Service Personnel list. Jack Gains will have little, if any, respect for people guarding the public interest. If a normal case, he will continually work to alienate respect among his fellow workers for anyone showing an interest in what is happening within the Forest Service by any member of the Public.
