Texans this spring will survey
vacation facilities with a two-fold
purpose in mind. Already hundreds
of inquiries are coming to the State
Parks Board office in Austiiini, ask-
ing for information and literature
about recreation facilities in the
state.
“The need for repairing worn
war nerves,” stated Frank D.
Quinn, Executive Director of the
Parks Board, “and building new
energy for the task still ahead—
final victory in combat and even-
tual peacetime readjustment—is
i bringing an ever-increasing stream
’ of visitors to Texas’ 38 state parks,
dlecause of their ready accessibil-
ity, they offer a haven for the
state’s millions of home front work-
ers and its thousands of soldier
visitors destined for the fighting
fronts.”
Due to the designation of a year-
round fishing season, an early open-
ing of the parks was necessary to
accommodate the thousands of sol-
diers, defense workers and civilians
seeking a few hours of escape in a
back-to-nature pursuit of peace and
quiet. In spite of wartime restric-
tions, a shortage of labor and re-
duced supplies, all the parks have
been readied for the public; some
have received improvements and
will offer new accommodations this
year.
Additional fishing boats have been
distributed to many of the park
lakes this season, Mr. Quinn pointed
out in recommending 16 of the 38
parks as excellent sanctuaries for
fishermen. “According to some of
the returned overseas correspond-
ents,” he said, “the boys over there
first want to see their folks, then
go fishing or hunting when they
come back While our first obliga-
tion at present is to keep up the
home front morale, we’ve got ■ to
keep in mind wihiat those
returned veterans will want and
need most—parks where they can
fish, roam, swim, ride, or, if they
wish, just sit and enjoy native
shrubs and trees, untouched by
bomb or artillery shell. The state’s1
investment in its parks will show
ample return if they contribute ev-
en in small measure to the rehabi-
litation of these boys fighting our
battles abroad.”
Parks of the state are largely
self-supporting, the legislative ap-
propriation being only a little over
one cent per capita for Texas’ six
and a half millioim people. Last year
more than two million persons vis-
ited the state parks and this year

are Balmorhea State Park, with its
walled swimming pool, the world’s
largest, fed by natural springs; Da-
vis Mountains, harboring beautiful
Indian Lodge; Lake Abilene, and
Big Spring. The Panhandle Plains
area offers MacKenzie, at Lub-
bock, and that geological wonder,
the Palo DUro Canyon. Northeast
Texas boasts Bonham, Cadido Lake,
Daingerfield and Tyler, While in the
north central section of the state
are Possum Kingdom, Mineral
Wells, Meridian, Fort Griffin and
Cleburne. East Texas has its beau-
tiful pine blanketed parks of Hunts-
ville, Normangee and the histori-
cal sites of Stephen F. Austin and
Jim Hogg.
Central Texas affords one of the
richest recreational areas with
number. Park sites, chosen ori-
ginally for their unusual natural
beauty or for their historical sig-
nificance, are scattered advanta-
geously throughout the different
sections of the state. Their thou-
sands of acres offer such tangible
recreation facilities as fishing,
two beauty spots, Garner and Frio
Parks. At Texas’ southern tip a
new park, undeveloped until after
the war, is coming into its own. It
will be known as Bentsen Rio
Grande Valley State Park. Also
down in that winter resort atmos-
phere are located Lake Corpus
Christi and Goose Island, a resort
for boating, sea fishing, camping
and picnicking enthusiasts.
Many of the parks are near Ar-
my camps and have been used ex-
tensively by members of the armed
forces. “The Parks Board is de-
lighted,” J. V. Ash, board Chairman,
pointed out, “that the armed forces
have found it practical to utilize
Texas’ parks on a large scale, both
for maneuvers and recreation.” He
suggested, on behalf of the board,
that citizens and military person-
nel take advantage of the facilities
within easy reach of their homes or
camps available to them as war-
time travel restrictions will permit.
