It therefore is important that all park people, Gov- ernment and public utility employes ever be on the alert to see that nothing untoward happens that is not within the ordinary range of human error. As a matter of fact, during the past, the number of criticisms has been small, but we want to get the number smaller.” Provision has been made in the 1930 Interior Department appropriations bill for a study of the nationa: park system, with a view to extending tne | system, if necessary, by creation of | new parks and extension of existing boundaries, Representative Louis C. Cramton of Michigan, told the con- ference. -Mr. Cramton is chairman of the subcommittee on appropriations of the House. handling Interior Depart- ment funds. He said there is a present tendency to create too many national parks from areas not up to park standards. “The term ‘national park,’” he said, “should be equal to ‘sterling’ oh silver, and should indicate scenic value of national importance. There rever should be an attempt made to cr-ate one or two na- tional parks in each State, which would simply cheapen the name anc defeat its own ends by weakening to that ex- tent the whole system.” MAL.
