in the woods.
Within 1875 miles of Wash
ington, six parks in Virginia
Maryland, West Virginia ano
pennsylvania offer housekeep-
ing cabins for a summer or fall
vacation.
Too early to think of next
summers plans?
The States will soon accept
bookings for the coming sea-
son: Maryland, after January
|; West Virginia, after January
is; Virginia, after February IS;
and Pennsylvania, which rents
only to State residents during
the summer. after September l
for the fall season.
Since the cabins are always
at a premium, early bird ap-
plications are advised.
Proper forms for reservations
may be obtained from the Di-
vision of State Parks at each
State capital: Annapolis, Md;
Charleston, w. Va; Rich
mond. Va, and Harrisburg. Pa.
Cabin furnishings differ in
each State. Virginia's IS cabins

They are fighting in defense
of the sacred fatherland and
the revolution against an at
tack of mercenaries organized
by the imperialistic Govern

Already our troops are ad-
Ivancing against the enemy,
sure of their victory. Now the

out their motto of defending
the fatherland and maintain

We defend the schools of

They come to take away from
the Negro men and women the
dignity which the revolution
has returned to them.
We fight to maintain for all

They come to destroy the

RedeveIopment Plan Offered
 Election District

The election district here may soon be designated as Redevelop- ment Area under the provisions of the Federal Area Redevelopment Act, according to word received this week from Gov. Egan.
 This designation means that To- cal governments and private per sons in this district would be eli gible to participate in certain pro- grams of federal assistance for economic development.
 Before this district may partici- pate in programs of assistance, the Governor stated, it must be cov- cred by an Overall Economic De velopment Plan. The OEDP must show the economic potentials and economic problems of the district and propose program of action for economic development.
 It is necessary for the local gov ernment and organized groups in the district, Gov. Egan continued, to form a Redevelopment Area Or ganization which can prepare the OEDP, spearhead development pro- jects for the district, and serve as the districts contact with the State and Federal Area Redevelopment Administration.
 "The Area Redevelopment pro gram could mean a great deal to those districts in Alaska that make the effort necessary to meet the provisions of the Act" Egan stated.
