"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

There once was a man named Curtis Kent,
Whose wife never read an adVERTisement;
Mr. Kent said, "My dear,
You are foolish, I fear,
Not to read the advertisements and thus learn where
to look for the best values when you go shipping"?
but hi wife was not quite bright and she never did find
out what Curtis meant!
That last line got slightly out of hand. But the point
is, INTELLIGENT women read the advertisements
and thus save weary footsteps and precious pennies
every day, by shopping at the right places at the right
times!
