Hut not the same state park,
obviously. These are aights and
sounds from all three of the
brand-new "ahow place" parks
which will ha completed soon
and open to eager campers,
fishermen, rockhounds, bird-
watchers, hikers—um. anyone
who wants outdoors.
They are products af a bold
new venture which in time can
turn shame into pride. For it is
only morning also in the
making of a statewide system
of excellent parks and Texas
has been a long time sleeping
in the dnrk.
The three sprawling camp-
grounds—Falron, Whitney and
Dam “H” State I'arks, in tlic
order described above — have
been under construction only a
year with meager funds to do

the job. Already they vastly
outclass the puny park efforts
of yesterday whirl, in recent
times huve been left to neglect
and decay.
All three au> practically iden-
tical in facilities and yet as
diverse in topography as only
sites hundreds of miles apart
hi Texas can la*. Whitney is a
hill-and-river country park;
| Falcon lies in a raw arid des-
ert of stark beauty, and Dam
i “B" is a cool haven in the
■ piney woods once part of the
Big Thicket.
Facilities at each offer
four kinds of accommoda-
tions— parking sites for
trailers, screened overnight
shelters, tent campgrounds
and shade shelters for pic-
nickers. Only Dam “11”,
well-shaded by trees, does
not have or need the lat-
ter.
Modern restrooms, roomy
concession buildings, rangers
r»eiilences, maintenance build
ings and park headquarters are
the same design at all the new
parks. Mexican-flavored Fal-
con State Park is unique in
that wide construction use is
made of inexpensive Mexican
brirk.
Further economy in turning
out three parks at a time is
practiced hy sending to all from
Austin such items as identical
signboards and metal grill cook-
ers which are set conveniently
waist-high on metal poles.
Gateways to each park are
identified with the terrain.
Whitney’s entrance is flanked
with planter-walls of Brazos
liiver rock; Falcon’s is brick
lattice work in Mexican style,
and the merely-symbolic short
fence at Dam “B” is built of
overlapping pine logs.
Great effort has been made
to bring civilized conveniences
into the parks without disturb
ing natural beauty. Enough un-
derbrush has been cleared to al-
low human passage hut not
destroy bird and animal habitat.

If you think you’re seeing
more and more Plymouth Furys
on the road, you’re right.
This is the hottest-selling
Fury in history.,
Here’s why:
Fury for ’65 it the biggest, plushest Plymouth ever...”
but still solidly in the low-price clast.
Big on the outside, its wheelbase is a whopping 119 inches.
Big on the inside, plenty of headroom, legroom and
hiproom. And new curved-glass side windows add to Fury’s
contemporary styling. The plush part is the beautiful
interior. There’s rich upholstery to compliment the exterior
finish, wall-to-wall nylon carpeting and a smart,
readable instrument panel. No wonder you’re seeing more
and more Plymouth Furys on the road.
If you want more good
reasons for buying Fury,
see your Plymouth Dealer.
kHe drives one too.

Dozens of miles of otherwise
unsightly electric lines have
been buried underground with
more dozens of miles of water
lines.

The overall improvement
program. headlining the
three major parks, dates to
the installation of J. Wel-
don Watson as the first .
Executive Director of the
newly merged state depart-
ments in August, 1961.
He immediately activated
funds appropriated hy the pre-
vious State legislature, re-or-
ganized his staff and set a
target of early 1965 for having
the vast improvements readied
for the public. This, the great-
est step ever taken toward mod-
ernizing Texas state parks, re-
ceived new momentum in May.
1964, when William M. (Matk)
Goodin was appointed Assistant
Director for Parks.
Director Gosdin, encountered
at i.ake Whitney State Park on
his own week-end swing, said:
“We’ve planned facilities so that
none i* more than 1,000 or 1,-
200 feet from any area in the
parks. Interiors have heen pro-
tected with steely epoxy paint
and virtually mark-proof mar-
ble. Costs a little more to in-
stall. but it’s cheaper in the
long run.”
Parks planning chief
Johnny Buck, a former Tex-
as student of Gosdin’s.
pointed out other practical
designs.
“All the trailer spares are
pull-through,” he said. “A lot
of visitors take out their trailer
only once a year and they don’t
like to have to back them up.
At our new parks, they don’t
have to.”
Screened shelters are partial-
ly louvered on three sides for
privacy. “If Mama wants to
camp out hut is worried about
hugs or snakes, this is for her.”
said Buck.
Keys to the shelters are at-
tached to large tags like those
used hy hotels and motels, with
the nddress;of the park inscribed.
“If we’re going for the profes-
sional touch,” explained Buck,
“we might as well go all the
way."
So Is It a practical touch.
During transit from the manu-
facturer to Austin, four tags
were lost and missing when the
boxes arrived. Within a few
days, however, all four turned
up in the mail in rnmpliance
with the request to “Drop in
any mailbox.”
There is no question that
the three new park* are
a* fine as anv in the na-
tion despite the pinrhprnnv
hudvet. Small ami large
miracles have been work-
ed t« prove that Texas
need never again apologise
for its par*.*
Rut three parka, of course,
ia only a beginning.
"We want to establish a net-
work of parka all over the
state,” said Ruck "Texas is the
gateway to mtr own West and
to another nation, Mexico
There should be stale parks,
both far Texan* and visitors,
nil Um way on every route.”
