Relative to the Roosevelt Cabin

they are ENTHUSIASTIC III the matter.
The D. A.. r. out Of their hard earn
ed means have done much tospreserve
the cabin, but even when they have
done more than they ought to be ex-
pected to do, the cabin is. still un-
protected from the weather. A per-
manent shrine would protect the ca
bin not only from vandals but from
the elements as we'll. This building
is now, forty years old. and if left
unprotected, another forty years will
see it dilapidated to the point of un.
sightliness. It should be inclosed in
