GEOGRAPHIC EDITOR
SPEAKS FOR PARK
". j. Showalter In Staunton Address
Tells OF Big Advantages-Maga-
zine VIII Advertise Valley

Although the Shenandoah Nation
.Ial Park is still only a prospect that
the people of Virginia alone can
make reality, it has so attracted
the attention OF one of the greatest
magazines published in this country
that it is preparing to devote an en-
4 tire issue early sin the Spring To the
ATTRACTIONS of Virginia as mecca for
tourists.
I This fact was made known Mon
day in Staunton by DIR. William ].
Showalter, associate editor of the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine, publish
ed in Washington DR.. Showalter
was addressing the meeting in Staun-
ton that opened the intensive cam
paign in Augusta and Rihgland
counties to help raise the S2,5O0,O 900
tat must be subscribed before the
Shenandoah National Park car be ere
ated in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Virginia
Just for the colored photographs
of scenes in the proposed park and
the historic shrines of Virginia. the
National Geographic Society, pub
fishers of the magazine. are spend
ing sos, 200. If it were humanity
possible to buy such advert sing
and it is not-the price at prevailing
rates would run in excess of a mil
lion dollars. And every dollars worth
of this advertising Virginia is to re-
ceive gratis was attracted by the drive
that is being waged to make the
Shenandoah National Park, the first
great park in the East, fact before
next Spring.
World Wants to Travel
Mr.. Showalter called the attention
Of his audience to what Florida has
done in few years to make its beach
es the winter Fairgrounds of the ma
ton. THE world wants to travel"
he declared, land the world is will
ing to pay for its travel. The world
wants to play, and the world is will
ing to play for playing" The Shen-
andoah National Park he declared Of
fers Virginia its opportunity to share
in this rich harvest of wealth from
the torrist armies of America.
Getting down to plain business Ian
guage, DR.. Showalter bowed that the
tourist crop" would net Virginia
100000 every year This, he
said, is eight times the value of the
states wheat crop, twice it's corn
crop, and more than the wheat, corn,
oats. rye, barley. potato. hay and ap-
pie crops, combined.
But l would not be content to
stress so much the financial side of
it. More than that l would stress
the service we can render our coun-
try by making this park possible.
America needs this great park just
as much as Virginia needs it. 1t is
a PITY so many people don't know
bat we have here; we can bring the
couE,ry back to its beginning here in
this grand old state.
I'm Opportunity to Serve
we Eow have the opportunity to
serve the state as our fathers and
mothers did, by bringing the world
here to our shrine. thereby doing as
much in our time as our mothers and
fathers did in theirs.
- would not be content to take
that last, long journey and sleep I'M
der Virginia soil if it couldn't be that
my name might be written into the
record as one having done his share
I hope every Virginian will
reach down into his pocket until it
hurts"

LOGAN HOUSE IMPROVED

One Of the marked improvements
on North Main Street is the remodel
ed Logan house which was purchased
by s. G. Clark. The whole interior has
been modernized, lights and water in
stalled. porches built and the brick
building is both attractive inside and
outside The house was built by the
late Capt. II. Logan and was sold in
the division of the estate of his heirs.

Haven't noticed any improvement
in the Court House pavement. In
excusable parsimony on the part of
those responsible. No other public
building in Virginia, or in fact in
America, has such archaic paving.
Why not fix the pavement?

BRINGS DAMAGE SUIT
AND ASKS $4,000
Garrett III. Haun Sues Hy-Grade Nam
ganeSe COmpany-Claims Health
Is Permanently Injured

Through his attorneys, M. L. Wal
ton, Jr. and ]. M. Bauserman, Jr, OF
! Woodstock and d. o. Dechert of Har,
Irisonburg, Garrett H. Haun, son of E
Haun of Woodstock has instituted
suit against the Upgrade Manganese
Company, for damages in the sum OF
$4,000, alleging that the plaintiff S
/ health was permanently injured
through the negligence of the COM
pany.
The suit is probably without prece-
dent in State courts insofar as the
basis of action lies, for it is alleged
that the plaintiff is suffering from
manganese poisoning, one of the rar-
est of toxic affections, contracted
while Haun was an employe in the
ore-grinding plant of the company at
Strasburg.
1t is alleged that because of the
failure of the Hy-Grade Company to
provide proper ventilation and other
SohOo Uoi lol
by the Virginia laws, that his system
has become so thoroughly impreg-
mated with manganese poison as to
prevent him from work, and that by
reason thereof his health has been
undermined and permanently affect
ed
Provisions of Law
The suit is brought under the State
statute which requires employers to
take proper precautions to safeguard
the health of employees, to provide a
reasonably safe place for such en-
ployment and to prevent such meth
DDS as might be detrimental to health
Since leaving the employment of
the manganese company the plaintiff
has been the subject of examination
in an international clinic of special
lists and by specialists at Johns Hop
kins University
1t is alleged that the present physi-
cal condition of the plaintiff is due
directly to the inhalation of the dust
which was incident to the grinding
of manganese ore.
Ship Product Over U. s.
The Hy-Grade Manganese Company
is one OF the few companies In Amer
lea engaged in the mining and ship
ment of manganese, it's products go
ing all over the United States. They
are used not only in the manufacture
of batteries and steel, but much of
it is consumed in the manufacture
of notified brick. The company en-
ploys large force in its mines near
Star Tannery. in the Cedar Creek
Valley. and the ore is hauled to Stras-
burg. where it is ground and pre-
pared for shipment.
1t is noteworthy, too, that the
highest grade of chemical manganese
to be found in America comes from
the mines in Shenandoah County and
that a great part of this rare metal
used in winning the World War came
from the manganese mines in Pow
ellis Fort Valley.
Mr. ]. Carson Anderson is general
manager and one of the incorporators
of the Upgrade Company, and its
principal offices are in Woodstock.

!. HERE REDUCED
SLOWLY
Heavy Cut Since Armistice
But Few Are Laid off
In Past Year

Although the number OF Federal
employees in the District OF Co
lumbia Is still being reduced from
the high water mark Of the war
period. the process is virtually
negligible.
The Civil Service Commission
statistics show that there are now
66.224 Government workers In the
city, which is reduction since
the armistice Of $3.50. Within the
past year, however. hardly more
than a few hundred employees have
been cut off the Federal payroll.
The new bonus section in the
Veterans Bureau and the War De-
-partment. counteracted the decrease
in the number Of workers in other
departments.
The Treasury Department has

the largest single branch OF, the
