This conference president went on to comment on MARCH 6, 1960 the significance of these startling figures concerning missing members. In addition to all that the absentees missed in personal blessing, he called attention to the effect of this absenteeism on our denominational endeavor. He pointed out that if these more than 144,000 absentees had regularly attended Sabbath school, and they had averaged the same ratio of giving as those who did attend, there would have been added to our Sabbath school offer- ings close to a million dollars a quarter. (The General Conference Sabbath School Department estimates that this amount would have been over $700,000.) • "Think," he said, what this would mean to the cause of missions to have these missing members attending Sabbath school !"

  • Terry Inman Bio.310
    The Known Cravfishes of Arizona: A Summarv Renort Prepared By Terry Inman Bio.310 For Dr. Paul C. Marsh ASU Center for Environmental Studies Introduction The crayfishes ofNorth America display greater diversity in terms of species than any other part ofthe world. Some 338 recognizedtaxa (308 species and 30 subspecies) exist within the United States and Canada (Taylor, C.A. et d,. 1996). At least one species of crayfish is native to every state in the contiguous United States (Hobbs, H.H. Jr. l9S9) except Arizona which claims no species of its own. Until recently Arizona had (from our earliest records) remained void ofthis diverse group of invertebrates. However, sometime within the last 30 years crayfishes have begun to show up in Arizona waters. Some have been intentionally stocked by the Arizona Game and Fish department (AZGFD stocking records l93l - l99l) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (verbal - MarstU P.C.) as forage for game fish such as trout and large mouth bass. Although the extent ofthe introductions by the USFWS in not known, the AZGFD has reported three sites of introduction (all lakes), one inl97l, and two in 1991. other sources of crayfish introduction have probably been a result of bait bucket introductions by sport fishermen. Although no direct evidence ofthis is known it is perhaps the most reasonable explanation for their wide spread existence. Despite crayfishes having become common fauna in many Arizona waters they have managed to attract little attention from any Federal, Statg or scientific community. The kinds, distribution, and abundance of Arizona's crayfish is unknown, they have not yet been inventoried, or studied.
