HALLOWEEN

Sometime between sunset on Sat
urday and Sunday School time next
day, young America got busy in
Woodstock and had the annual Hal
lowe'en fun. No depredations of a
serious nature were committed, as
they have been in the days gone by,
when some of the "fogies" of today
were the bad boys of yesterday.
The Court House pavement was
made the parking place for all of the
old automobiles which the youthful
celebrants could gather up, and mix
ed with the junk were a few wagons
and a water cart, reminiscent of the
days when Halloween festivities were
made more obstreporous because
then water carts" and water wa
CONS were not believed in.
A few misplaced signs, the pave
ment decorations and bonfire at the
corner of Court and Main streets
were the only unusual happenings of
the pumpkin, black cat and hobgob-
lin season in Woodstock

THE PARK-YOUR PARK

The keynote of all of the address
es made by Governor-elect Byrd
sounded Virginia without sectional
lines. A Virginia wherein the Val
ley. pidewater, the Southwest and
Southside would join together for
the commonweal of the whole State.
It is this idea which will be the le-
verage to lift the Old Dominion to
her place among States, and the
greatest opportunity ever offered
Virginia to place the State in South
ern leadership is the proposed Shen-
andoah National Park in the Blue
Ridge area.
Aside from tie civic pride which
the proposition should arouse is the
financial end of the undertaking,
for its successful conclusion means
that tens of millions of dollars will
be spent in the State by the stream
Of tourists who will make Virginia
their mecca.
oudI4HS III THESE HIiillOnS every
phase of endeavor will have a share.
The farmer and the banker will
have their part just as surely as the
laborer and the artisan for every
dollar spent means that it will be
prorated merchant in every line of
business.
Particularly is this true in the
Shenandoah Valley. Particularly is
it true in that section contiguous to
the Park area.
Certainly no citizen of Shenan-
doah, Rockingham, Page, Frederick,
Clark Warren, Augusta or adjacent
counties can fail to see the inesti-
mable benefits to be arrived by max
ing the Park a surety.
II means bigger interest than buy
ing the best bonds. 1t is just as
sure to bring result as investing in
gilt edge securities.
