BY NELSON SHEPPARD. ginia, the Federal Govern- ment is planning to create a great natural playground. The tract chosen for this outdoor recreational park consists of 8080 acres of wornout farm land some: 30 miles from the National Capital in Prince William and Stafford Counties, along the banks of the picturesqhe Chopawamsic Creek. With the aid of three co-operating Federal agencies this area of wilder- verted into an all-year site for the pleasure of the residents of the Wash- ington, Richmond and Fredericksburg territories. Rolling hills, considerable stretches of second-growth forest and a good water supply make the Chop- awamsic tract admirably adapted. $66,000 Involved in Purchase. An announcement of the plans last week by Harry L. Hopkins, Federal relief administrator, drew keen atten- tion from park-minded Washington- iens who see in the Chopawamsic project a natural attraction second only to the lure of the proposed Shen- ardoah - Great Smoky Mountains Parkway. The purchase of the land. Hopkins announced. is being under- taken as a project in the Federal land program, which is developing a se- lected number of demonsmluon proj- cropping of the land without the ap- plication of conservation methods of | rotation and refertilization, the soil | ects in better land uses. total of $66,000 was involved in the pur- chase. Included in the plan of develop- ment proposed by the National Park Service are provisions for every avail- able type of outdoor recreation, in- cluding camp sites, picnic areas, swimming pounds and hiking and riding trails. It is believed the area will be of particular value to the various social organizations in the District of Columbia whose facilities for enabling underprivileged children and their parents to enjoy a regular Summer camp vacation are limited. From an agricultural viewpoint the area is characteristic of much of the | submarginal farm land found in Northeastern Virginia. Over a period of a century or more of constant became worn out and unproductive. Little Income Possible. The population now living on the project area and still attempting to| wrest a living from the poor, worn- out soil, is bound to the merest ex- istence level by the limited productiv- ity of the land. Of the 150 families now residing there only 40 report having had any steady income during the past few years, while an equal number have had practically no in- come or employment at all. Yet, because of a deep-seated pride and independence of spirit, very few of the families have applied for relief, despite their poor living conditions. With the establishment of this park area a more abundant life is bound to come to these unfortunate fami- ‘Through lies, Federal officials say.

Example of Poor Management. “A concrete example of the bad effects of the misuse of land is given by the Chopawasic project,” said Re- lief Administrator Hopkins. The rurai rehabilitation department | of the Virginia E. R. A. has assumed | full responsibility for aiding the | families to find better farm homes | elsewhere. Many families will re- ceive enough from the sale of their | land to relocate themselves without | further assistance beyond advice and :help in locating desirable properties. Others, whose options are not suffi- cient to cover the cost of a new home, will be aided in accordance with plans to be worked out in the Division |of Rural Rehabilitation under the | direction of Col. Lawrence Westbrook, | assistant director of F. E. R. A. ‘The project has been planned by Charles H. Gerner of the Recreation Demonstration Project Division of the National Park Service, headed by Conrad L. Wirth. Co-operation between various Gov- ernment agencies, including the Land Policy Section of the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration, has con- tributed much to the planning of this program. Held Needed Ad4ition. The need for a recreation area such as the Chopawamsic project involves was stressed by C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Capi- tal Parks, who spoke of the future work as a long-needed addition to the Capital's recreational facilities. “Outdoor recreation areas for camp- ing, picnicing and extended Summer vacations near Washington are taxed beyond capacity,” Mr. Finnan said. In Washington ‘Thousands of thrifty housekeepers have found that the mattresses which we made from their old ones are just as good as new. They are germ-free, resilient, clean.

The purchase of the Chopa- wamsic tract should contribute ma- terially to this need.” Special efforts will be made to co- operate with social service agencies in Washington and Richmond in utiliz- ing the area for these purposes. If a proper plan of co-operation can be worked out successfully, officials said, it may be possible to erect and maln- tain on the 8,080 acres several camps for the use of children’s organizations. Many Voice Interest. Indorsements of the project and | expressions of interest have been re- ceived from numerous organizations such as the Boy and Girl Scouts and | 4-H Clubs of nearby counties in Vir- ginia. of the Committee on Recreation of the » | Washington Council of Social Agencies | is one of the enthusiasts. Officials see in “Chopawamsic,” & local Indian term, an appropriate name for the prospective new play- ground of the National Capital. Its meaning is “at a small, isolated lodge.” Bank Depositors Organize. With the idea of promoting legisla= tion and other remedial measures fav- oring suffering depositors in insolvent banks, the National Association of Bank Depositors has been organized, with offices in the Southern Building. National in scope, the new organiza- tion is headed by Theodore B. Benson, | & Maryland attorney, as temporary president. «THE BIGGEST STEP FORWARD IN YEARS IN THE TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION and related troubles such as indigestion, and run-down condition,” says Dr. Richard von Stenitzer, noted internal’special: Constipation chiefly due to lack of certain substances this food abundantly supplies DAY, in both foreign and American clinics d hospitals, remarkable results are being obtained in cases of chronic constipation by a food supplying certain which the body must have.

A special resolution was passed urging that the Board of Education be kept free from the control of the Commissioners and retain its privi- leges of chartering and accrediting institutions as at present. It was fol- lowed by a resolution condemning the bill to extend the Commissioners’ power along these lines. W. J. Neale emphasized that to achieve full representation for the District would necessitate a constitu- tional amendment and that the report made by his committee was merely aimed at the gradual accession of the taxpayers of Washington to control of ll_le city government. This may be attained at present by Congress dele- gating some of its present powers to an elected city council, which may be done without amending the Con- stitution. The city council would have appointive and advisory powers. Only taxpayers resident in the Dis- eligible. Unfavorable action was taken on the resolution of the Takoma Park District's gas rate be made equal with that of residents of nearby Virginia. It was the impression of the Takoma | group that the Virginia rate was much lower. A letter from Riley E.

A resolution of condolence to the | widow of Alfred Pembroke Thom, | noted railroad lawyer, who died a short while ago, a former president of the association, was ordered sent. .
