A WOMAN GAME WARDEN

Topeka, Aug. 22 -- Miss Helen DeVault, an expert with a rifle, is the first woman to be named as an active game warden in Kansas. Miss DeVault, for several sessions of the legislature, served as clerk of important committees and in recent months has been in the governor's office. Besides her usual duties as a fish and game warden Miss DeVault also is director of visual education on game life and will lecture before women's clubs, sportsmen's clubs and other organizations which may want to hear about the wild life of Kansas. The department has a set of motion pictures which may be used in connection with her lectures.

Woman Warden Likes Outdoors

Helen DeVault Qualifies For Her Position

Miss Helen DeVault, of Pratt, who has the distinction of being the first woman in the United States to be appointed deputy state game warden, was here this week attending the state 4-H conservation conference.
"I love outdoor life and wild game," she said. "I guess that is the reason I was appointed. One should be a lover of the great outdoors to be a good game warden."
So far as Miss DaVault knows there are only two women in the United States wearing the badge of deputy state game warden. The other is in Connecticut. Miss DeVault was appointed two years ago, and for at least a year she was the only feminine warden in the country.
Can she make arrests? She not only can, but does. Don't let her catch you violating the fish or game laws. She'll lash that badge on you without mercy. And she carries a gun as a peace officer when necessary, too.
But the shooting she does, in an official capacity, is mostly with a camera. She brought a moving picture machine to the 4-H club camp here to show the boys and girls pictures of some of the state's parks and preserves. Most of the views are of the Scott county state park, incidentally. She hopes to have more, from the other parks before long.
"We are proud of the work that is being done in Kansas for preservation of wild life and for stocking our streams and lakes." she remarked. "But we are just beginning."

Photo Caption
The honor of being the first woman deputy game warden and fish commissioner of the United States, it is said, goes to Helen DeVault, pretty Kansas girl, who was appointed to the post by Gov. Alfred M. Landon as a move to encourage women to indulge in the art of hunting and fishing. Altho she is now stationed at the state's fish hatchery at Pratt, part of Miss DeVault's duties will be lecture work before various women's clubs.

George Clarence Lynch, son of George W. and Anna Evelin Lynch came to a farm in the Ashton community five miles north of Isabel with his parents in March 1907. He attended the Ashton school and graduated from Isabel High School in 1922. On November 25, 1926 he married Helen Davault, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Davault of Pratt. Their marriage was kept secret until the fall of 1927 at which time they moved to the farm two and one-half miles south of the Ashton schoolhouse. In the spring of 1930 they made the decision to move to Minneola, Kansas on land owned by Helen's sister and husband, W.H. Templeman. After twelve years of marriage, Karen Sue was born on August 24, 1938 and was adopted by Clarence and Helen, coming to live with them on December 22, 1938. During the 30's they milked a number of cows, sold cream and raised hogs and chickens. They were in the Dairy Testing Association for a number of years. Clarence was a lover of the soil and soon became interested in raising new varities of wheat. They conducted a Wheat Variety Test plot for 25 years, in cooperation with the Extension Division of Kansas State at Manhattan. For a number of years they produced and sold certified seed wheat. He was selected as a Premier Seed Grower in 1957. Clarence was very active in Farm Bureau, both on county and state level. He served on the Program of Works Committee of the State Farm Bureau and was a leader of the year in 1957 and won a trip to Washington, D.C. (along with other leaders of that year) in the spring of 1958. He served on the Minneola School Board for seven years. Karen and family returned to the farm in the early 60's and they have made their home on a quarter of Lynch Land about three miles from the home place. She has done a majority of the farming operations for a number of years. Clarence and Helen have one grandson and
two granddaughters.
