A gome warden looks over a pori'ion oi the terrain he must patrol. (Fish and Game Photo) Continuing efforts of the department to provide optimum hunting and fishing success for California's sportsmen have directly affected work performed b>' members of the WildHfe Protection Branch. Steadily rising prices for goods and services made it mandatory that the department critically examine its functions and strive for greater efficiencv of operation in those areas where increased economy could be realized. Harvesting surpluses of wildlife without damaging breeding stocks is the fundamental concept of \\ise management upon which the entire program of the department is based. Basic to this concept is the neces- sity to safeguard these breeding stocks. To this end wardens fulfilled their primary function of protecting fish and game from being taken during closed seasons, in excess of prescribed bag limits or by means which afford little or no chance for the species sought to escape. Despite a steady growth in the number of California residents, with a proportionate increase in hunting and fishing license bu\'ers, there was no commensurate ad- dition of badly needed wardens. In Jul\-, 1954, the department, cognizant of the need for a basis upon which to judge the effectiveness of the Wildlife Protection Branch, as well as to deter- mine current and future staffing requirements, re- quested that the Alanagcment Analysis Section of the Department of Finance conduct an administrative sur- ve\' of the branch. The survey was completed in late November, 1954, and a report was transmitted to the Division of Budgets and Accounts, Department of Finance. [75I.
