Show Vandals CaMse Damr,3e in parks WASHINGTON.-Carelessness on the part of visitors annually causes untold damage in the national parks, according to Newton B Drury, director of National Park service. Careless damage by visitors he adds, has been noted in such widely different places as the Statue of Liberty national monument and Yellowstone National park Vandalism at the Statue of Lib erty is discouraged by a new coat of washable paint which will not absorb ab-sorb lipstick and a wire enclosure around the stairway designed to Prevent writing on the statue. "Unfortunately," Drury continues, contin-ues, "similar protection cannot be given the delicate hot spring eni geyser formations in Yellowstone. Debris thrown into the pools 1" some cases actually causes explosions explo-sions that have destroyed pools." |
