In an open letter to the members of the Camp Fire Club of America, William T. Hornaday suggests that the club’s membership has not donated enough time or money toward the preservation of wildlife in spite of the stated goals of the club. The club’s Committee on Game Protective Legislation and Preserves requires at least $2,000 a year from the club to operate effectively, which cannot be obtained by occasional donation drives. Hornaday has proposed a change in the club’s bylaws to increase membership dues in order to support the club’s conservation work, and asks that the recipient vote to ratify it.
