Official recognition by the federal
government of this army of Nature
Lovers" came last summer in the cali
ing by President Coolidge of the Ma
tiOnal Conference on Outdoor Recrea~
tion at Washington. The federal gov
ernment's position is now one of sup
port and cooperation. Various COM
missions and committees are making
nationwide survey Of outdoor recre-
alton resources of all kinds with a
view to closer cooperation.
One of the immediate results of the
organization of the Recreation Confer
ence is an investigation by an official
commission this summer of scenic

of our own town and community, so
let's get together and work to that

prosperous will be each individual.
And the only way any community can

The nature-lover, up to about ten
years ago was an easy-going person
He was content to enjoy nature in his
own way. The Silent places" were
fast disappearing, to be sure but he
had ten or a dozen national parks
whid& were bits Of the original wilder
ness and Wild-life sanctuaries, dedi-
Gated to the American people forever
SO he went on his way, complacent
and unafraid.
Congress changed this disposition
overnight by opening up the national
parks to commercial invasion under
the water-power act. Thereupon the
nature-lovers sent out q nationwide
IS. O. S." They first forced congress
to reverse itself and exempt the ma
tional parks from the operation of the
act. Next they proceeded to organize
an army of defense Finally they en-
tered upon q constructive campaign
Which has made outdoor recreation in
it's various phases one Of the livest
nonpOliticaI issues of the day. This
"Nature-Lovers' Army" now numbers
about 100000 men and women, mem
bers of more than 125 organizations
Here are some of the more impor-
tant things that have come about since
the nature-loyer hit the trail with his
war paint on:
The following national parks have
been established: Hawaii, including
three famous volcanoes; Lassen Vol
canic in California; fGount Mckinley
in Alaska; Grand Canyon in Arizona !;
Lafayette on the island of Mount Des-
ert, Maine; Zion in Utah Qncluding
Bryce canyon).
National monuments to the number
Of fourteen have also been established
by Presidential proclamation.
Congress has established the nation
al park service, in control of the ma
tional parks. Previously the manage
ment of the national parks was vested
in several clerks in various bureaus
of the Interior department; the nation
al parks were considered liability
instead of great national asset
The "See America First" movement
has been developed and carried to in
creasing success. This summer more
than two million Americans will visit
the national parks and monuments
and keep half billion good American
dollars at home and in circulation.

Home OWner Always
Makes Good Citizen

Home ownership is a big factor in
the making of a good citizen. man
who owns his own home, or has start
ed to pay for one, is a much more
stable and dependable person than the
one who rents his living quarters, be-
cause he feels himself a member of
the community, writes Allene Lyle in
the Chicago Evening Post. He expects
to make it his permanent home and he
is interested in improving it. The man
who lives in a rented house or apart
ment can always move on short notice
if there is something in the cOmmu-
nifty which is not to his liking, and he
is quite apt to do so, but the man who
lives in a house which he owns himself
Is much more apt to try to bring the
community up to his standards and
ideals.
A home owner feels that he belongs
to the community and it belongs to
him. He pays taxes and he is con-
cerned about how this public money is
spent. He wants good streets and
highways; he is interested in transp0r-
tatiOn facilities, lighting and improve
mentS in sanitation; he demands good
laws and their enforcement for the pro-
lection of his property and his family
he is vitally concerned in his com
munity'S schools and churches.

to remind us how many college
men have chosen to take their
postgraduate degree in the pro.

Holy Cross has done well by the

Bucknell furnished Christopher
Mathewson, the greatest pitcher,

The University of Illinois sent

Jake Stahl, Carl Lundgren and
Fred Beebe, while George Sisler

To comply with new intercol-
