CAMPERS MAY
USE NATIONAL
FORESTS FREE
All That is Required is a Strict
Compliance with the Gov

WASHINGTON D. c., Aug. 81
The people Of the east are Just be-
ginning to realize the value of tho
United States forest service, and par
ticularly that phase of the handling
OF government lands which permits
OF their use as camping grounds.
Through the western reservations, the
national forests as government play
grounds" have long been a we'll rec
ognized feature of summer plans, but
1t is only within the last year or so
that Virginians and West virginians
have begun to realize that camping
grounds are to be had free of charge
in the national forests.
Compliance with Rules.
All that is required is compliance
with the existing government rules.
Within the last year at least 5000
acres have been added to West Vir-
ginia's share of the forest reserva-
tons, which brings the government
ownership in that state up to about
$4,000 acres. This lies in what Is con-
sidered one Of the most beautiful sec
tons OF the state and 1t is particularly
true OF the Potomac area which lies
along the boundary between Virginia
and West Virginia. Those who have
camped there once, have spread the
good news to others, and during the
present summer, camping sites have
been chosen by hundreds of families
of West Virginia.
The fact that camping sites can be
obtained free, Is significant only when
the attendant advantages are realized.
One can pitch tent almost anywhere
without being compelled to pay for
the privilege, but when one camps in
the national forest the conditions are
the best possible. In the first place
permit must be obtained before a
tent can be pitched. This, practically,
matter of form, requires only that
forest rules are compiled with.
Million Campers.
There are few, and, as they apply
to the camper, consist OF little other,
than that the streams remain unpol-
/ luted, refuse be gathered up and trees
remain unframed, except by permits

far away the spring is, where the
best fish are to be found and all
about the forest trails. The forest
service of the Department of Agricul-
ture has just issued bulletin in
which it states that 100000 camp
ers, hunters and fishermen used the
forests as recreation grounds last
year. The land recently acquired in
West Virginia, Virginia and North
Carolina comprise what are called
the Potomac, the Massanutten, the Mt
Mitchell and Pigsah areas, and are
the first of series of forests in the
east to be purchased by the govern
ment. The purpose OF the forests, as
stated in the bulletin, is to insure a
perpetual supply of timber for the
use of the people of the United States,
and to prevent the destruction of the
forest cover which regulates the flow
of streams.
The forest service administers the
national forests. 1t protects them
from fire and other destructive agen-
cies; it builds roads, trails, telephone
