Show "Primitive Areas" for Parks For the benefit of large numbers of people who crave the "back to nature" na-ture" type of forest recreation, the forest service is establishing "primitive "primi-tive areas" in each of the national forest areas. The Idea is to leave unimpaired unique natural values and give to the public so inclined an opportunity to experience conditions which existed in pioneer phases of the nation's development. Tourist parks filled with little cabins, facilities facil-ities for cooking, running water, showers, etc., are a boon for the traveling, sight-seeing public, but there are thousands who will enjoy, appreciate and help conserve these "primitive areas" which will eventually even-tually form a part of all our national nation-al parks of sufficient area.
