Harpers Ferry Park Okayed By McKeldin
Maryland Governor McKeldin gives approval for a national park at Harpers Ferry West Virginia with state financial support to be decided in next year's budget. The Board of Natural Resources opposes the project and urged a veto on a bill to allow Maryland to buy about 700 acres for the park. The act signed March 28 authorizes land purchase but provides no funds. May 3 meeting noted. Women’s League reports, quilting party planned, Red Cross donation approved, rug sales discussed, and Sunshine Box and Peddler’s Pack duties assigned.
