ton Of the tremendous historical
project, according to memoranda
made available in washington

tor, and Charles E. Peterson,

ice, who have been engaged in
extensive field preparations for
the undertaking.
The parkway between James

town will be 200 feet wide, at
least, and Is to be developed
with emphasis almost exclusively
upon the dominant shrines Of
the Colonial. late Colonial and
Revolutionary war periods.
The story of the area is to be
presented forcefully through the
development only of the more
important points, with the minor
| points blended in carefully for
the benefit Of students WHO dc.

Great care Is to be taken not
to confuse the landmarks Of the
Revolutionary and Colonial peri
DDS with those Of the civil war
period.
In his memorandum, Peterson
says:
| II believe that for the rOu.
tine presentation we should do
everything to make vivid the
three historical entities, James
town, Williamsburg and York.

points as minor, if not irrele-
