those holding 200 acres of

that they will be permitted

Danger In the Park:

Charlotte Observer that may
be oi interest to manv Of our

One of the most important
subjects considered last even

North Carolina delegation in
the ofnre of Senator Prit"h.
ard. which was held for the
purpose of discussing State
legislative matters. was the
proposed Appalachian Park.
1t seems that some 0ppOsi-
tion has manifested itself a.
gainst the bill designed to es

while the latest opposition
that has developed is from j.

An advance copy of a circu-

measure until it can he dis

There is no necessity.for rush

A STATE FLOWER
WHysHOULD WEST VIRGINIA NOT
HAVE AN EMBLEM
Other states Have 9heir Emblem and
There are siaay beautiful Products
Among Our ANS and valleys.

Since the school authorities Of West
Virginia have requested the chi ldren
of the state to vote on their choice. Of
a flower for an emblem for the common
wealth much interest has been awak-
ened
Within the last few years number
OF states have adopted State flower,
or State tree. or both as emblems to
be used on States stationery. letter
heads, programmes, etc. Althouh the
subject has been agitated in West Vir-
ginia number of times and various
! flowers and trees have been suggested
nothing has been decit Cd upon.
If Kansas can faunt her sunfiower,
California her poppy. Maine the pine
cone. Kentucky her blue grass and
Florida the orange blossoms. should
not West Virginia arise in her pride
nd choose from the widely vared flor
al which Mother Nature has bequeath-
ed to her, floral emblem that equals
il not snrpasses in beauty and signi-
ficance that of any State in the union?
Various flowers have been suggested
but very few of the suggestions have
been ACCOMPANIED by reasons why they
would be representative or symbolical.
West Virginia's floral emblem should
be, as nearly as possible. common to
all parts of the State. 1t should be
West Virginia flower, not Berkeley
county flower. a Morgan county flower
or a Jefferson county flower or any one
common to any one section ofIthe State.
The suggestion of the State Super
intendent that the pupils in public
schools decide by vote upon the floral
emblem is an excellent one but unless
the teachers take mp the subject in
their schools and study and compare a
number OF the most appropriate and
suggestive flowers, and not only arouse
an interest in the subject but inspire
the pupils with the spirit of fair and
unbiased judgement, the result will
not be satisfactory. Each pupil will |
vote for his or her favorite flower
without considering why
