STATE VALUES HOOVER'S VIRGINIA CAMP SELECTION ‘When President Hoover selected the site on the Rapidan River in Madison County as a recreational encampmient it was just like appropriating $25,000.- 000 to the State of Virginia. At least that is the opinion of Dr. Willlam Showalter, assistant editor of the Geo- raphic Magazine, in & letter to the tate Conservation and Development Commission. “It is my sincere belief,” says Dr. Showalter, “that, measured over the term of years that probably lie ahead for Mr. Hoover in the White House, the worth of this identification with 'Vir- ginia may be appraised conservatively t that sum. The President’s example in finding a playground there will cer- tainly,” in eight’ years, lead people to Virginia who otherwize would not have ¢ome.” ST SIS Mrs. Mary Beal Dies. BLTSVILLE.
