Hight WamingOf Stealing Os Shrubbery A new kind of thievery, that of stealing shrubbery from the yards or premises of citizens, has sprung up in this city and section recently, and man Y People have become aroused ce cau.,e of it. In one instance a reward of SIOO has been offered for the arrest and conviction of those who took a shrub from the premises of J. H. Brodie on the Country Club drive, west of the city. It was pointed out today that these thieves, upon conviction, would be lia ble to six years in prison terms, two of them for larceny, two for trespass and two years for the malicious des truction of property. Those who have interested them selves in the situation have ’ found themselves wondering what benefit \v£-i Sh . r i Übs COUld be to the thieves. W hile they are important in beautify ing homes where they are stolen, they would not bring fancy prices, in most instances, if peddled for sale, appar ently not worth the risk and the trou >le involved in uprooting them and o sering them for sale wherever they may be disposed of. But the thefts appear to be on the .nciease, and there have been a num ber of instances of them in this sec tion recently.

Effort To Establish Plan Os State Parks Seems Near Fruition Raleigh, May 6—Years of effort to ward the establishment of a credit able system of State Parks appear to be drawing toward a successful cul mination within the next few months, R. Bruce Etheridge, director of the Department of Conservation and De velopment, indicated today. Achievement of this goal, the con servation director said, will be made possible through the Federal emer gency conservation work program and the liberality and interest of pri vate citizens and communities. Not only are prospects bright for the establishment of several new State Parks, according to Mr. Etheridge, but their develoment into attaractive and useful areas for public use has been assured through the federal pro gram. The conservation official expects at least five units to be added to the three existing State Parks with pos sibly one of two more later. One of these areas, Fort Macon State Park, near Moreliead City and Beaufort, is now being developed by a Civiliar Conservation Corps camp. The old gfe.

C.) DAILY DISPATCH, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1935 1 hundred-year-old fortification is being restored and repaired and numerous other improvements for the use, at traction and convenience of visitors are being made. A road has been constructed from the Atlantic Beach causeway to the fort, a dock is being built for visiting craft, a cottage for a park warden is being put up, considerable landscap ing is being done, and sand fixation work is being carried out. These im provements are expected to attract thousands of visitors to the section. A CCC camp is expected to be estab lished on Mount Mitchell State Park, in Yancey County, within the next few weeks. The development program on this park will probably include clearing up the damage from a forest fire that occurred several years ago, building of overnight cabins, construc tion of picnicking facilities, cutting of trails, and other features to attract visitors and increase the utility of the area. Deeds to some 2,000 acres of land in ! Stanly County for a State Park have recently been submitted to the De partment of Conservation and develop ment and it is expected that a CCC camp will be located in that area as soon as available. This property is being donated to the State by individ uals and the county. The feature of this park is Morrow Mountain, outstanding peak in the Uharrie Mountains. Contemplated development features include cabins for visitors, camping and picnicking facilities, new fishing grounds and facilities for game fishing. Another State Park, according to Director Etheridge, will probably be located at Cape Hatterns. Plans are made to develop this area as a pub lic recreational ground for the bene fit of people of this State and else where. It is hoped that the State Park will be the first step in the deve lopment of a great National Park, extendin gfor a considerable distance along the “banks” of North Carolina Other areas for State parks are now under consideration but have not pro gressed sufficiently to be made pub lic, Mr. Etheridge continued. Most of these will come in the form of gifts from individuals, counties and com munities. Another branch of Federal relief ac tivities gives promise of making the establishment of several State Forests possible. At least three areas of sub marginal farm lands have been ap proved for purchase and are being placed under option. These lands, it is indicated, will be turned over to the State for administration. 1896—Historic flight of the Langley model over the Potomac —first suc cessful flight of an airplane.
