TRAVEL TO PARKS E OVER WSJ YEAR CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. Ore. (Special) In direct contrast with the 1933 travel season, 1934 at tendance totals throughout the na tional parks have shown gains from 25 to 400 per cent, Dr. H. C. Bryant. assistant director of the National Park service, said when at Crater lake this week while on a general visit to west ern parks. Dr. Bryant reported Increased In terest in naturalist services offered in each of the parks, providing vis itors with opportunities of better understanding and appreciating the scenic wonders of the nation. First begun in Yosemlte and Yellowstone National parks, these educational ser vices struggled along for yeara during a difficult pioneer stage. Then every effort was necessary to determine what features would be best greeted by the public. No wthe pioneering era has been passed. People have learned what to expect when visiting a national park and are anxious to take advantage of all naturalist services, including hiking, Informal scientific discussions of features within the respective parks, guided motor trips, mountain climbing, launch trips and other fea tures. Dr. Bryant learned that such In terest in Crater Lake National park has shown commendable increase, especially In regard to services of fered at the Sinnott memorial ob servation station along the inner rim on Victor Rock. This station enables the visitor to learn by his own efforts much of the story concerning Crater lake and Its environs without under going the rigors of a technical lec ture. In this way it Is possible lor the visitor to fully understand the scene before him and appreciate its beauty. Travel increases of the current sea son are attributable to special efforts being made to make 1034 a national park year and also to improved eco nomic conditions, reviving Interest in traveling, especially to the scenic spots of the nation.
