pearance, distinguished everywhere by
their brown faces, brown clothing and
flashing eyes. OF course, there were
occasional troubles, disorders flared out
every now and then. But the great
majority continued on their work-busy
way, content.
Moral Fiber Grows.
A new and finer moral fiber seemed
to grow, too, with the hardening of
muscles. Many attended church regu-
larly, travelling many miles on occasion
in order to be present at services. It
has been said that early settlers in
America foregathered in churches with
the idea Of worshipping God, but
also for the only social contact which
they were able to enjoy. Perhaps this,
too, was factor behind regular attend
ance. But 1t Is a factor In every church,
and members were often proud Of their
friendships. acquired on the doorstep
OF q country Sunday school.
This moral fiber has taught them to
despise thief. A man caught stealing
was turned over to civil authorities In
censor1ng eyes and words Of his COM
panions was often the most rigid
punishment borne by the culprit.
Eyes Lose Stiffness,
Their eyes have lost that look of en-
treaty, pleading for understanding, and
ashamed. which they held In many
cases when the camps were first estab-
l1shed. The men have learned to stand
on their own feet. They back down
1or no man, they say, and they are
nlled with a consuming pride, stronger
because IN many cases 1t Is justified for
the first time in their youthful lives.
This pride Is funny thing. It makes
man rear back and point his chin
at the stars. It makes him drive for
ward when in other months, not so long
ago, ne would have fought foul and
sneaked away.
1t Is all mixed up in the minds Of
most men. It Is a garbled mass, con-
ststing Of pride in their strength, pride
In their earning power, pride in their
aid to their families and pride In en-
ployment.
Many Of the men in camps were not
unfamiliar with begging.
Lots Of days I've asked a guy for q
dime. Lots Of days didn't get dime"
one member said. He stood tall and
straight. Il reckon that's one thing
not most fellows would not admit but

Respect Returns.
Self-rspect may be the keynote Of
it. While they were panhandling the
streets, most of the men, who now admit
their pifering freely, would have been
raging and insulted If accused Of beg
ging. They have self-respect. It Is an
odd thing. most Of them agree. Actual
and concrete employment Of a perma-
nent nature is the basic reason be-
hind It,
Isolation from homes and families has
brought new perspective. The noun
tain peaks, rising tier on tier high into
the airy heights, have, too, had their
effect. The whole has been a sort Of
melting of emotions and experiences
into something new and finer than they
ever would have experienced had they

ing permits and the park development
program are going ahead, Smith as
serted.
100 Square Miles in Area.
Under the park program, he told the
conference that three units are in proc
ess of acquisition in Rock Greek Val
ley; three units are In similar situation
in Sligo Valley and one unit IN CABIN
John Valley.
Mr.. Smith told his hearers that the
area under his commissions jurisdiction
embraces 100 square miles In Mont
gomery and Prince Georges counties,
adjacent to the National Capital; IT
has population of more than $4,000
and its assessable basis Is S99 ,287 ,6o8.
He paid tribute to the assistance given
by Alfred Bettman, president OF the
National Conference on City Planning,
in writing the enabling act, passed by
the Maryland Legislature, setting up
the commission, with its wide powers.
Commercial signboards are being
rapidly eliminated from the area under
our jurisdiction under the provisions
of the zoning ordinance, which bers
such boards except in industrial areas,
said Mr.. Smith. "This provision re-
duces the frontage available for this

age throughout the area.
Funds for Acquisition.
II must mention what the comms-
sion has done in cooperation with the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission with respect to park land
along the beds OF the prin-
cipal streams which traverse the dis
trict and flow into the District OF Co
lumbia. Under the broad, liberal pro-
visions Of the Capper- -Cramton act, Fed
eral funds, in part contribution and
in part q loan, have been made avail
able for these park land acquisitions,
which has permitted and is permitting
the land to be acquired in advance OF
actual requirements and in most cases
at farm acreage prices. The resultant
economy is readily apparent to the tax
payers. Hand in hand with the land
acquisition work in Montgomery Coun-
ty has gone park development work,
the expense of which is being paid from
the 7-cent park tax which has been
levied In that portion Of the Mary
land Washington metropolitan district
with Montgomery County. At the pres
ent moment there is pending also be-
fore the Public Works Administration
an application for a grant and loan
for the purpose Of park development,
including q program of park road con-
struction. In short, the taxpayers In
that part Of Maryland which has tried
regional planning approve Of it and
regard its benefits, both present and
future, as very well worth while"

What have the men done for the
camps and forests Is the other side
of this debatable question.
They have improved roads through
mountain fastneSses-roadS that had
to be hewed from the mountain sides at
great peril on occasion and that re-
CURED weeks Of preparation. These
roads have proven q boon Of no un-
certain extent to the mountain people
and small-hamlet dwellers.
Blaze New Trails.
For many years the mountain folk
were often hemmed into q small area
by impossible trails over which they
must pass to reach nearest points.
These trails have been widened. They
have been improved. They have been
made roadways over which the noun.
tain folk no longer need bounce and
strain; they can get through easily
and well.
Twenty miles was at one time equiv
alent to 100 in the great world OF low
lands to these people because OF the
trails they must traverse. They are
thankful and happy. ,.
The members Of the camps have built
fire trails and fire breaks. Outbreak OF
forest fires is no longer the almost un-
controllable menace of other years! There
are many trails and many breaks where
the fires may be checked and connned'
The men have built these trails at the
expense Of back breaking toll. Their
hands have calloused and hardened as
they strained at brush and roots.
Telephone lines, the grapevine" type,
have been istalled In new areas. THESE
lines are the life-blood Of fire-fighting
and In cases Of emergency have proven
almost indispensable. A call Is mace
from point to point. The lines are To-
Gated at strategic points throughout the
national and State forests, and with the
first dread appearance Of billowing
smoke the trilling bells Of the lines
warn the valley of its danger.
Leave Healthy Forest.
Elimination Of useless timber and the
obliteration Of trees blighted and caus-
ing the blight to spread have been su-
pervised by trained forestry employees,
while the C.. c. C.'s have been shock
troops, working under direct orders, fell
ing trees, ringing Others to allow them
only few more days of life, and gen.
eral cleaning up Of the forests.
Thinning timber stands" has been q
large part Of the work. Days Of tramp
ing through the sun-spangled aisles OF
the forests, searching out the better tim
ber and telling the less productive trees
in order to allow the good trees more
opportunity to grow, and produce more
of their kind, have wrought many
changes in the forest silences. In all,
these forests compose much Of the
earth's surface, and heir preservation
has been aided by the steady droves Of
forest camp workers throughout the
long Summer.

Scrawny, shifting, thin-armed. short

the men in the forests.

Shirts were unknown in working. Brown

the golden glow of health and strength.
Shouting defiance Of any and every

forests. Some days it would rain In
thunderous roar. Huddled beneath q

But physicians recognize
the importance Of toilet
tissue in relation to fem
mine health and hygiene

For years toilet tissue has been one
subject which has been taken for
granted. Until recently, it had never
been really considered within the
realm of medical product.
That serious infections can actually
follow the use of toilet paper by
women was brought to light in re-
cent survey among some 1000 physi-
clans. The greater proportion of these
doctors stated explicitly that these
troubles can be caused, not by the
paper itself, but by its lack Of proper
wet strength.

Miss Began Takes Lead
In Cruise Contest

Backed by her fellow employees
at the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, Miss Vonnette Bo-
gan forged ahead today to take
first place in The Washington
Times -RKO Midsummer Festival
Cruise contest.
Miss Began displaced Mrs.
Louise Higgins of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing. who had
held the lead for over a week.
Mrs. Higgins dropped to Sec
ond place, with Miss Ethel Gin
berg, secretary to Stephen Kra-
mer, assistant superintendent of
District public schools, still in
third. Miss Ginberg jumped to
third from tenth two days ago
in the most spectacular move so
far in the contest.
Contest is Close
The three leaders are running
neck to neck. Miss Began and
Mrs. Higgins hold their place by
only slight majority over Miss
Ginberg. Only a few votes sep
arate the three.
The contest closes next Thurs
day. All votes must be in the
ballot box of RKO Keith's The
ater that hight. The tellers will
start the job Of counting them
the following day and announce
ment of the winner should be
ready by Saturday, August 5.
The winner will be given the
choice Of a Northern or South
ern cruise, both on luxurious
Cunard liners. He or she may
select a companion for the trip
and expenses of both will be de-
frayed by The Washington Times
and RKO Keith's Theater.
Both leaders are in favor Of the
trip to the West Indies on the
Mauretania. But the winner will
have until the second week in
August to make a final decision.
The cruise to Canada and back
to Bermuda has its points, both
admit.
The trip will be one long re-
membered. The two liners, the
Mauretania and Franconia, are
the last word in comfort and
luxurious appointment. Both offer
