U ono of series d aligned to promote travel in the Pacific north wnt. Today's articte haa boon condensed from rao torlog appearing in The Sunday Oregonian June II. BY FRED M. WHITE Staff Wniw, Tte ONtaelaa "DICTATORS and their ar mies may grind Europe into dust; America may have to arm to the teeth and live under the dread of war; the gentle arts of peace may be forgotten in a new age of darkness. Still the people of Oregon will have a place for relaxation and solace. As long as those basalt cliffs stand against the pounding surf, the state parks along our sea coast will belong to the people, for their enjoyment." Sam Boardman, rambling philosopher and superintendent of the park system of the state highway department, was doing the talking as we stood on the mountain. The pause on Saddle moun tain was a moment in a motor log designed to visit the five great state parks, comprising some 12,000 acres, in easy reach of the bulk of Oregon's popula tion by way of the new Wolf creek and Wilson river high ways. They are: Saddle moun tain, 3000 acres; Ecola, 4S1 acres; Short Sand beach, 1200 acres; Cape Meares, 138 acres, and Cape Lookout, a narrow peninsula thrusting a mile and a half out to sea. Starting shortly after noon Friday in the Oregon State Motor association's travel de velopment car, we dropped down the Wolf creek highway to the coast, climbing Saddle mountain as far as the end of i mount m I pfeoff '"gprV 1 1 KOLA I BEACH fS' J ) (WEHALtM aia.B -M 3 I CAPE I &IVHQ - yvl X AlPlviTrri MEAgFg f ' -".b Xfr" rVRTLANDZ CAPE rct 1 V Lookout- ) ( The route of the motorlog trip and location of the five parks are mapped above.
