loyalty.

Now, we like Mr. Pinchot. Volehave been inclined to overlook someof h is more d iz zy ideas , because heis an individualist, a conservationistand a whacking good out-of-doorsman. But why, in the namC of allthat's f o o l i s ~ , should he poke politicsinto Val le}' Forge Park?

The Main Line, however, has not

and therefore have had to spend morewisely.

The hard sleddingof the past year ortwo has certainly taught this old worldhow to l ighten its load of false standa rd s, how to put more quiet, honesteffort and less "puff" into the long tugtoward its attaimnents.
