Like Park Projects

Washington, Mar. % ca. P.)-Inter-
est in the acquisition and develop
ment of state park systems has in
creased greatly in the south during
the past year. according to observa-
tions made in a survey of state
parks throughout the country, now
under way for the National Confer
ence on State Parks by it's field Sec
rotary, Raymond H. Torrey.
This survey was begun in the
south because Of the desire of John
Barton Payne. chairman Of the con-
ference. formerly secretary of the in
terror and now head of the American
Red Cross. to encourage several
promising movements in the direc-
ton of initiating state park systems.
The lead in state park acquisition
and improvement for public recreat-
ton has been taken by Texas which.
within a little over a year, has NOV

purposes. and another gift of $4,000
acres in the Guadalupe Mountains is
expected within the year.

whom 1t was explained by Mr.. Tor
rey In the course of his survey. Gov
ernor Brandon Of Alabama immed-

lie spirited citizens to study a park
plan and to report to him so that he
may recommend a law at the next
session OF the legislature. One of
the resources in Alabama that might
be used for conversational or recre-
ational development is school lands.
These are very extensive and might
be devoted to such purposes without
prejudice to any income they bring
