We Need to Sell West Virginia to Tourists
The UMLVA argues West Virginia’s scenic and recreational attractions rival other states and urges improved marketing beyond the slogan what comes naturally. It contends out-of-state visitors pass by, spending little, unless persuaded by cleaner services, attractive dining, and well promoted vacation spots. The Beckley area is praised for potential, while Route 19-21 and U. S. 60 corridors draw traffic past overlook value and natural beauty.

GLENN BABB analyzes Stalin’s Feb 9 statements promoting peaceful cooperation with Western democracy despite ideological divides. He notes a shift in Soviet thinking toward “Communism in one country” being compatible with collaboration, a pledge to curb atomic use, and questions about Moscow’s real aims.

Subsistence Homesteads Grown Up By HOWARD DOBSON
The subsistence homestead program has produced 3135 homes from 31 projects with 25 sold to local associations. The government spent 28.7 million dollars and expects to recover little of it as loans are repaid or converted to purchase loans. Projects have become self sustaining with industries like furniture making and dairies. FPHA and previous agencies arranged disposals with emphasis on current residents and veterans. Three Rivers Gardens in Texas opened 1935. Cumberland in Tennessee is the largest at 9.27 million dollars.
