THE REGION III QUARTERLY
The Region III Quarterly, which makes its initial bow
with this issue, has for its purpose the dissemination of information
which it is hoped will be of practical use to Service personnel and to
interested individuals and organizations. The articles will be written
in non-technical phraseology with a view to making them interesting and
instructive. Their scope will include various phases of geology,
forestry, wildlife, archaeology, history, landscaping, engineering,
recreational planning, and other subjects concerning National Park
Service activities in Region III.
The articles contained in this first issue of the
Quarterly have been written by Region III Office personnel to indicate
the type and quality of material to be used. The Quarterly can not be
published regularly, however, without field cooperation and assistance.
It can not succeed without contributions from superintendents, rangers,
inspectors, and others. Friendly criticisms and helpful suggestions for
the Quarterly's improvement are invited. It is proposed to include, from
time to time, pertinent articles written by persons outside of the
Service. Such articles will give an outside viewpoint which should be
helpful in considering Service problems.
The reproduction of the line-drawings and half-tones
in the Region III Quarterly has been made possible by the friendly
cooperation of the Region I Office. Such cooperation is another example
of that esprit de corps which has always been a major factor in National
Park Service accomplishments and is appreciated. The encouragement given
by Director Cammerer, Associate Director Demaray, and Editor-in-Chief
Story to this Office's proposal to issue the Region III Quarterly also
is appreciated.
