Parking Fee For
State Forest Areas
Has Been Established
Money To BE Used For Upkeep
OF Parks; Seasonal Permits
Available

70 provide the personnel necessary
TO ensure that recreational areas in
Maryland's state forests and parks
will receive needed up-kcep and be
policcd in a way to prevent the ac-
emulation of unsightly trash, to bar
vandalism, and to provide visitors
freedom from ovcrcrowding and dis
order the Commission Of State For
csts and Parks has established a daily
parking fee of $50 for cars which
visit these areas This charge applies
only to what may be termed the tran
silent trade, that is, persons from
Maryland and from other states who
visit rccreational area not more than
once or twice a year. Those who live
near rccrcational areas and visit them
frequently may obtain a seasonal per-
NIT for the nominal sum of $500. A
permit good for week may be had
for $100. This schedule goes into eff
feet June t. For several years. small
charges have been made for the use
of outdoor fireplaces, sheltrs, and
other special services.
Practically no provision is made in
the budget of the Department of For
csts and Parks, as submitted by the
Governor to the recent Legislature,
for park personnel, State Forester
Joseph F. Kaylor points out. These
publically-oWned areas Of natural
beauty are largely left to shift for
themselves. In the circumstances,
kaylor says, the people Of Maryland
have right to expect that the matter
will receive proper attention.
The Commission of State Forests
and Parks, KayIor adds, was reluctant
to establish an admission fee to rec
rcational areas for the privilege of
mere entry, though this is accepted
practice in many other states, but in
stead decided ON a parking charge.
On practically all rccrcational areas,
parking sites have been developed at
considerable expense, with guard rails
and water facilities, and must be kept
in good order. In the opinion of the
Commission, all this fully iustificS a
service charge.

After five years in the service, Cap
tain Joseph Hopwood Wooddell is now
an eX-captain, having received an hon
orable discharge from the army air

States early in 1915.
Within five hours after Capt. Wood
dell arrived at the separation center
at Camp Beale he had been discharged
and was on his way back to Palm
Springs. However, he stopped at Los
Angeles where he purchased an entire
new civilian outfit and changed into
it Immediately. When a soldier re-
marked that he wasted no time in
changing he replied, "Well, after five
years in uniform, l." and a smile
and slight Shrug of his shoulders COM

understanding of those present.
His bride of one month, the former

his assignment at California, will use
her husbands discharge in obtaining

leased. He intends to study dentistry

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED
THROUGHOUT The COUNTY
At Oakland, Members OF The
Legion and knights of Pyth-
las Have Joint Program

Memorial Day was generally OBJ
served throughout the county with
special services at number of cemc-
teries. At many other cemeteries rcla-
tivcs and friends came to lay flowers
on graves of deceased to honor their
memory.
At Oakland, the members of tie
American Legion and Knights of Ply
thias organizations joined in a pro-
gram at the cemetery and before the
county honor roll. A procession of To-
cal organizations and school children,
headed by the Fire Department band,
formed at the city hall and after
marching through the main section of
town, filed to the cemetery where the
bers of the lodge were decorated and
a brief address delivered by Rev.
George D. Birk, Lutheran pastor.
Rev. Birk stressed three ideas Of
Memorial Day. that its purpose was
something alive. in that the ideals for
which persons died were carried ON;
that the real meaning of liberty was
something that had to be built, some
thing we had to serve, not something
that we could buy. Concerning the in
scription on the tomb of the unknown
soldier, Rev Birk recalled Paul's mis-
sionary journey where he came upon
an altar to "thc unknown God.' Paul
showed the people that the unknown
God" was really Christ, who was a
very personal God to them. He char
actcrized the unknown soldier as one,
although unknown in name. who had
made very personal contribution to
people now living on the earth.
At the conclusion of services at the
cemetery the group marched to the
county honor roll on Third street
where Dclbcrt Davis, in a short mes
sage, dedicated the roll of the 1000
individuals represented there, and also
stressed the Importance of those who
continued to do their share ON the
home front.
Practically all places Of business
were closed throughout the day, or
observed Sunday hours.
