"The wind-swept sand dunes, their perennial beauty, the variegated flora and fauna of the region, the haunts made by them for millions of birds, both migratory and abiding, the loveliness of the shore line at all seasons all these are only a few of the many interesting and curious features of the dune country." wrote Stephen T. Mather, assistant to the Secretary of the Interior at Washington, D. C, in a report on the dunes. "They attract the scientist, the teacher, the student and the individual who seeks rest and recreation in communion with nature. They constitute a paradise for the artist and writer." An earnest appeal is made to everyone who wants the dunes as a national park to make some contribution to the cause of the pageant, which will do much for arousing interest in that re gion.
