	Today we're trying to halt, as best we can, our contribution to or hastening of the disappearance of existing plant and animal life. We've identified endangered species and passed laws preventing any act by man which might reduce their numbers and I'm sure there's general agreement with this policy.

	Up in Maine, a mammoth hydroelectric generating facility was scheduled to be constructed in a part of America, the Northeast, where power is in short supply. The Dickey-Lincoln dam site was key to this $1.3 billion project on the St. John River. Many factors were taken into consideration and a great deal of study went into planning such an expensive project, as you can well imagine.

Many factors were taken into consideration and a great deal of study went into planning such an expensive project, as you can well imagine.

	Then, about a year ago, someone discovered a clump of wild flowers, about 200 in all, in the area to be flooded with the building of the dam. They were a species of snapdragon thought to be extinct called the Furbish Lousewart. The 1.3 billion Dickey-Lincoln generating facility is now halted, stopped dead in its tracks by the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

	I'm not a botanist but isn't it possible those plants could be transplanted? I've transplanted wildflowers on the ranch with little or no trouble at all. I've even gathered seeds and helped the spread of some types to other parts of the ranch. And can anyone really say there aren't other clumps of Furbish Lousewart hidden in the woods of Maine, as this clump was hidden, until humans invaded the area to build a dam?

	Down on the Little Tennessee River, the Tennessee Valley Authority has been building a dam to produce electricity for about two hundred thousand homes and I don't know how many industries providing jobs for people in those homes. This project has been going on for about ten years so far. A 116 million dollars have been spent and the huge Teleco Dam is ninety five percent complete. Apparently that's as far as it'll get. A federal court has stopped construction because a three-inch fish called the snail darter has been found to spawn in the waters of the Little Tennessee River. This particular snail darter is an endangered species even though it differs only slightly from the 77 other kinds of darters found in the rivers of Tennessee.

	It is time to ask if some environmentalists, and I do mean some, aren't using the Endangered Species Act of 1973 simply to halt construction of projects they don't like.

Mr. McGrath had seen an item in his local paper about an upcoming marriage. The
	thing that had caught his eye was the announcement that the young couple, in keeping with some of the ideas floating around these days, intended to keep both their surnames.

They would, as a married couple, be known as the Schwamm-Bukowskis not Mr. and Mrs. Bukowski.

	Now, if i'd seen that item, I must confess I probably would have shrugged it off as a little silly, but certainly that's their right if that's what they wanted to put on their mailbox. But Mr. McGrath, while conceding that latter point has a more inquiring mind. He looked into the future, not only of the Schwam-Buckowskis, but the future of society if such an idea catches on.

But Mr. McGrath, while conceding that latter point has a more inquiring mind. He looked into the future, not only of the Schwam-Buckowskis, but the future of society if such an idea catches on.

	Envisioning parenthood for the happy couple, Mr. McGrath does some supposing. Suppose a daughter, Janet, is born. Janet Schwamm-Bukowski who grows up and marries a young man who also has a dual name, the idea having caught on. Janet Schwamm-Bukowski and Jack Krenwinkel-Roget become the ~~Schwam~~-Bukowski-Krenwinkel-Rogets.		Envisioning parenthood for the happy couple, Mr. McGrath does some supposing.

Janet Schwamm-Bukowski and Jack Krenwinkel-Roget become the Schwamm-Bukowski-Krenwinkel-Rogets.

	Time passes and they're blessed with a son they promptly named Frank. Reaching the age of 21, Mr. McGrath envisions Frank ~~Schwam~~-Bukowski-Krenwinkel-Roget falling in love with and marrying a lovely young lady Juanita Halloran-Schwamm (no relation) Morningside-Lucarelli. This nice young couple being sentimental and nostalgic over earlier times named their firstborn after a favorite great-grand uncle named John Smith. And there it is on the birth certificate--John Smith Halloran-Schwamm-Morningside-Lucarelli-Schwamm-Bukowski-Krenwinkel-Roget.		Time passes and they're blessed with a son they promptly named Frank.

	Without getting into additional generations, Mr McGrath then took up some of the associated problems started by the young couple, the Schwamm-Bukowskis who set us off on this course.

	Of course, he points out, there would be rejoicing on the bureaucratic front. The computers would be humming like crazy and the form 1040 would have to have a lot of additional lines. Telephone directory printing would be a great growth industry and how about all those monogrammed items— towels, bed linens, handkerchiefs and even shirts. Monogrammed jewelry, tie clips, cuff links, earrings, etc.—well we'd probably just have to give up on those. But how about those conventions and business meetings where a sticker bearing your name is stuck to your lapel? It would become an 11 by 14 placard hung around your neck like a bib.

	Mr. McGrath carried his vision of the future to other problem areas--the engravers of tombstones for example. He may have created a new parlor game. Try it at your next social gathering. I've thought of one already, probably because of an earlier occupation of mine. Can't you hear a sports announcer now saying, excitedly, quote "John Smith Halloran-Schwamm-Morningside-Lucarelli-Schwamm- (no relation) Bukowski-Krenwinkel-Roget is fading back to pass."
