Need Other Areas for
Moderate Means Recreation.
In almost every other part of
the country there is a similar
need for recreational areas for
parkways which will give to men
and women of moderate means the
opportunity. the invigoration and
the luxury of touring and camping
amid scenes of great natural
beauty.
All across the Nation at this time
Of year, people are starting out
for their vacations in National and
State Parks. They will put up at
roadside camps or pitch their tents
under the stars. with an open fire
to cook by. with the smell Of the
woods. and the wind in the trees.
They will forget the rush and the
strain of all the other long weeks
of the year. and for short time at
least. the days will be good for
their bodies and good for their
souls. Once more they will lay
hold of the perspective that comes
to men and women who every
morning and every night can lift
up their eyes to Mother Nature.
Beauties Preserve
To Enrich Lives Of All.
There is merit for all of us in
the ancient tale of the giant An
tseus, who every time he touched
his Mother Earth. arose with
strength renewed a hundred fold.
This park. therefore. together
with its many sisters which are
coming TO completion in every part
OF our land. is in the largest sense
a work of conservation. Through
all OF them we are preserving the
beauty and the wealth of the hills.
and the mountains and the plains
and the trees and the streams.
Through all of them We are main
tanning useful work for our young
men. Through all of them We are
enriching the character and the
happiness of our people.
We seek to pass on to our chill
dren richer land-a stronger
Nation
I. therefore. dedicate Shenandoah
National Park to this and succeed
ing generations of Americans for
the recreation and for the re-
creation which We shall find here.

@HE creation of this park Is
one part Of our great pro-
gram Of husbandry - the
Il Joint husbandry of our hu-
man resources and our natural re-
sources. In every part of the coun-
try. local and State and Federal
authorities are engaged in preserv-
ing and developing our heritage
of natural resources: and in this
work they are equally conserving
our priceless heritage Of human
values by giving to hundreds OF
thousands Of men the opportunity
for making an honest living.
The product of the labor OF the
men of the Civilian Conservation
Corps. who have opened the Shen-
andoah National Park to the use
and enjoyment of our citizens. is
as significant as though instead Of
working for the Government they
had worked in mill or a factory.
They have right to be as proud
of their labor here as if they had
been engaged in private employ
ment.
In bygone years We have seen the
terrible tragedy of our age-the
tragedy Of waste. Waste of our
people. waste of our land. It vas
neither the will nor the destiny Of
our Nation that this waste Of f1u-
man and material resources should
continue. That was the compelling
reason that led us to put our idle
people to the task of ending the
waste of our land.
Idleness Redirected
To End Sleepiness of Park.
The involuntary idleness of thou
sands of young men ended three
years ago when they came here 10
the camps on the Blue Ridge.
Since then they have not been idle,
and today they have ended the idle
ness Of the Shenandoah National
Park. It will be busy and useful
place in the years to come Just as
the work of these young men will,
I am confident. lead them to busy
and useful lives in the years to
come.
Our country will need many
other young men as they come to
manhood for work like this-for
other Shenandoahs.
Is it a dream-vill I perhaps be
accused of an exaggerated passion
for planning if I paint for you
a picture? You who are here know
of the great usefulness to humanity
which this Skyline Drive achieves

by August /.
1t is described as representing the
first entry of the Federal Government
into regulation of highway safety
from an operations standpoint. and
it is amplified that these proposed
safety provisions are regarded as of
great importance, for their effect may
be expected to extend far beyond the
scope of their immediate application
and ultimately to promote greater
safety over the whole field of motor
vehicle operation"
In preparing the draft the bureau
consulted % organizations and several
hundred individuals, and 1.-The proposed
regulations, it is explained, "are based
upon the best practices now existing
in many States and in the business
OF leading bus and truck operators
who have made outstanding safety
records"
One proposal to be considered is
medical examinations for drivers Just
as are required for mail workers.

President declared there has been
waste Of our people. waste of our
land" He added that it was neither
the will nor the destiny of the Nation
that this waste of human and ma
terial resources should continue. He
said that was the compelling reason
which led to the putting idle people
to the task of ending the waste d the
land.
Predicting that the park and the
Skyland Drive viii be of great use
fulness to humanity, the President
stated there will be similar achieve
ment when the park system is extended
South through Virginia and North
Carolina to the Great Smoky National
Park. He added that such an achieve
ment is now hope, but in his opinion
will come about.
Cites Recreation Motive.
Mr.. Roosevelt then lauded the pur-
poses of such parks and of their bene-
fits to the people of the country, par
ticularly moderate income groups.
In this same vein he said, "this park,
therefore, together with its many sis
ters which are coming to completion
in every part of the land, is in the
largest sense a work of conservation.
Through all of them We are preserving
the beauty and the wealth Of the hills.
and the mountains and the plains and
the trees and the streams. Through
all of them We are maintaining useful
work for our young men. Through all
of them we are enriching the charac-
ter and the happiness of our people"
