PLAN CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
FUNDS FOR VALLEY PARK

Fired with determination to def
initely secure for Virginia the East 5
first great national park, the Shen-
andosh National Park Association
has plans for a sweeping campaign to
raise $2,5o0.00 by popular subscrip-
tion with which to purchase part of
the proposed mammoth playground in
the Blue Ridge Mountains of Vir-
ginia.
Within the next few days enthusi-
astic groups of workers win begin
canvassing the state from the sea-
board to its farthest boundaries. ask
ing loyal Virginia to s'buy an acre"
purchase a small tract of the his
toric area. the government hopes to
make one of the greatest centers of
outdoor recreation in the world.
bringing to the state millions of Wis
itors a year.
Six dollars has been set as the
price of one acre of the proposed
Shenandoah National Park. IL each
of the 2,309,1S7 men, women and
children who live in Virginia bought
a single acre, their state would have
a total of s13,S55,122 with which to
puICHdSt JfIt t1lllC pain, hOW ptiiiE
surveyed by government engineers,
and turn it over TO Congress without
asking the United States Treasury to
spend single penny for its share of
the purchase price.
The goal of the forthcoming cam
paign. however. has been set as 3d.
100000. because officials of the
Shenandoah National Park Associa-
ton have been assured on competent
authority that if Virginia subscribes
even so small an amount toward the
millions more that are to be spent on
the area no doubt need exist that
Congress will pass the necessary leg
islation at its session this winter and
give Virginia the first great national
park to be established east of the
Mississippi River
With more than 40,000,000 per-
ons-city-bound men, women and
children who now must drive far
from home to get away from modern
speed and strife--but single days
ride from the proposed Shenandoah
National park, experts who have ex-
amined the area and recommended it
as the logical place for the reserva-
ton predict that within five years the
swarms of tourists who will crowd to
the park will return to the states in
