hike last year and a one-day

predecessor in the seat he has

land in a canoe and make WASH

are deadly serious in their effort
to save. this strip of wilderness
from change.
Justice Douglas finished the
12-mile hike. which began about
$3.50 am. at the Cumberland
Outdoor Club below Paw Paw,
w. Va, to Little Orleans near
Hancock, Md. about 1870 pm.
The pace was leisurely, no one
tried to get ahead and Justice
Douglas took his time.
It was a stroll for him. He has
been doing 10 to % miles on the
tow path near Washington on
Sundays.
The revival was something Of
an anti-climax from the excite
ment caused by last years hike.
Today there were no troops of
school children to meet him at
the occasional places where
roads intersect the tow path
and no demand for autographs.
Justice Douglas seemed to enjoy
the change. He was more re-
Taxed and found more time to
talk with the mixers.
Last years hike called for 90
miles day for nine days.
This year the Spring was
much more advanced. The re-
yival was 40 days later than the
original hike.
At Galliher's Hunting and
Fishing Camp near Green Ridge,
Justice Douglas took time out
to listen to a toothless timer
named Buck Kasecamp sing
songs of bis own composition
and lyrics to the accompaniment
Of a steel-string guitar.
