MONDAY, PLANNING LABELED -~ SAVING MEASURE Errors at Outset Costly, Delano Declares in 1932 Civic Annual. American Civic Association, in the Amer- ican Civic Annual for 1932, just off the press, made this significant statement: “Planning for the future, whether for a | home, a village, a city or the Nation, is | essentially a measure of economy.” “In city planning, the terrain of the country and the scheme of lay-out for the arterial thoroughfares and minor | streets, determine for all time many of | the characteristics of any city, so that | errors made in the beginning can be cor- imtteed only at enormous expense,” he wrote. ‘The volume, well {llustrated, was edit- ed by Miss Harlean James, executive secretary of the American Civic Asso- ciation. It contains a “Who's Who” in the organization, showing that many Washingtonlans are active in the move- | ment. It lists progress in park develop- ment in this country and Canada. “To the average person.” Mr. Delano sald, “town planning means chiefly esthetlc_development, and is therefore | P regarded as an expensive luxury. To | those who have studied the subject | longer it means fundamental economics, | with due regard for esthetic considera- | tions, individuality and charm, and | surely in times of stress such as these we are passing through the wisdom, and, indeed, the necessity, of planning for the future cannot be too strongly emphasized.” Better Housing Advocated. Turning to the work of the associa- tion, which maintains headquarters at the Union Trust Building, Fifteenth and H streets, he wrote: “We believe that it is entirely practical and desir- able to combine esthetic charm with economic efficiency. We advocate not only adequate public building programs, but definite measures to prevent or cor- rect the so-called slums. We wish to see plans prepared by those qualified in training and with the social vision to consider the needs of all the people. We want to see our zoning laws so clearly defined that the desires of the selfish few shall.not cause irreparabl: injury to the many less able to defend their rights. We wish to see our cities so developed as to provide for the health and recreational facilities of the people, and this done with such fore- sight that we shall not wake up 20 1 years hence to find the problem so far neglected that improvement can be $ 1216-1220 F STREET start their first SAL of FLIORSHEIM Shoes for Women Entire stocks included . . . regularly $8.50 and $10 . . . but for a short time only.

Delano, president of the | MR. AND MRS. GEORGE V. MONCURE, | Who celebrated the 50th anniversary | of thelr marriage at their home, Bloom- ington, near Quantico, last week. The guests included several who attended the wedding, which was held in the historic Aquia Church, Stafford Coun- ty, Va. Mr. and Mrs. Moncure's chil- dren and grandchildren were repre- sented by G. V. Moncure, jr., and Miss Margaret Moncure of Wide Water, Va.; Dr. Turner Ashby Moncure of Balti- more, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lewis of | Washington, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ralls, Miss Nancy Ralls and Edward Portner, Jr, of Chevy Chase, D. C. accomplished only at very great ex- nse.” | _ Albert Shaw, editor of the Review of | Reviews and vice president of the Amer- ican Civic Association, commenting on the point that celebration of the Bi- | centennial and study of the life and | times of Washington has been salutary, looks to the future. George Washing- 1 ton, he holds, “would today be our most | enthusiastic exponent of all movements to bring back American life into closer | relationship with the national domain | itself.” | Chance for Great Future, Under Washington’s aegls, Mr. Shaw | believes: ~ “The national parks, the | great waterway improvements, the ex- | ample of urban possibilities presented by the Feceral City—all these achieve- ments pertaining to the national map would be seen as setting patterns for States, countles and smaller communi- ties in their planning for conservation | of resources, for private well being and for the growth of the body of social assets. With our new gospel of the shorter working day and the longer week end of leisure, there must be a Nation-wide effort to convert this re- covered margin of time and of physical vitality into hopeful effort for a finer civilization. “Let us believe that we are at the dawn of a new epoch—the best that our country has known. Let us take what we find about us, seek expert knowledge and advice, and use our own constructive imaginations. The Amer- ican Civic Association has now, it would seem to many of us, the oppor- tunity to build a great future upon its useful past. It has the support of civic leaders, of experts in national, State and local planning, of leaders in move- ments for conservation of various forms | of natural wealth, of park builders, town planners, landscape designers, garden makers and experienced author- ities in the establishment of valuable contacts between official and voluntary effort.” | ~ None of the national rks “ever | will be overdeveloped for tourist use,” in the opinion of Horace M. Albright, director of the National Park Service, who contributed an interesting article, revealing that in Alaska “the wilder- | ness has only been scratched.” He recalled Government acquisition of de- | sirable groups of trees adjacent to the ! parks, and said that animals native to the various park areas are being con- | served, predatory as well as other ani- mals, for investigations have shown that nature keeps a proper balance by kill- ing off weak animals by disease, if not by predatory beasts. Steel traps and | polson have been eliminated where it | has been found necessary to kill preda- tory animals, he sald, asserting that if animal reduction in any form is re- | quired, shooting by the rangers is the humane method. Wild Life Survey Being Made. Introduction of exotic animals into the parks is banned, Mr. Albright as- serted, native species of fish are used | in restocking lakes and streams, and foreign species of plants are kept out of the national parks. A wild-life sur- vey is now in progress, Mr. Albright said, explaining that “we hope eventu- ally to develop in each of the major parks at least one expert in wild-life matters.” McKinley National Park, in Alaska, is | providing fur gatherers with animals in abundance, although hunting in the park is banned, Mr. Albright said. Under the 12 per cent transfer au- thorization under the economy act, A. E. Demaray, senior assistant director of the National Park Service, asserted his group “is giving up $540,000 of fits construction funds to ald the other bureaus of the department and prevent their complete demoralization.” “Despite unemployment and economic conditions generally, travel to the na- tional parks increased,” he said, “although rall travel has decreased ma- terially and visitors have not availed themselves of the higher-priced accom- modations provided by the park opera- | tors. The great bulk of the travel has | come in privately-owned automobiles, the visitors taxing to the limit the | facilities provided by the Federal Gov- ernment and paying a permit tax to the Federal Government at the same | time.” Roger W. Toll, superintendent of the Yellowstone National Park, urged peo- ple of the Southwest to set aside the finest areas of organ-pipe cactus and of Joshua trees to be included among “the Nation’s outstanding places of scenie, historical and scientific interest.” Acadia National Park, in Maine, will be increased from the Present 11,559 acres, through gifts, to about 20,000 acres, Oliver G. Taylor, assistant chief engineer of the National Park Service in charge of Eastern engineering work, believes. The Everglades in Florida when established as a national park will be “the only tropical national park in the United States and the greatest bird sanctuary of any,” he says. He pointed to the program for the future— the Shenandoah National Park, in nearby Virginia; the Mammoth Cave National Park, in Kentucky, and the | Isle Royale National Park, in Michigan, where millions may enjoy themselves, The George Washington birthplace and Colonial national monuments in Vir- ginia have been added to the national domain, he recalled. Boundary Abolished in Two Places. Isabelle F. Story, editor of the Na- tional Park Service, pointed out that the international boundary between Canada and the United States has been abolished in two places—the Waterton- Upholstering Pay $10 per month ‘The overflow from Mount | ] Peace , in kota and Manitoba. While both gov- ernments uv‘rfll ptLupensu for the up- keep of the Miss Story said that “from the stand- point of recreation, however, the two parks will be considered as one great, glorious mountain area, wherein the peoples of the two countries may seek and find inspirational, spirits and physical relaxation and growth.” Paul G. Redington, chief of the Bu- resu of Blological Survey, Departmen of Agriculture, in explaining his group's wild life refuge program, said: efforts in the principal breeding areas in the Northwestern United States, though no opportunities will be over- looked for the establishment of the $5 Brocade and Skintex girdle, Skintex side panels, 15 inches long.
