Official correspondence showed that it had been ordered in July, but that Commander Lansdowne had objected that midsummer was a thunderstorm period and had asked that it be postponed until September.

Last week she raised her voice in piteous protest: "There are no great national parks in the East. A 100,000-acre track in the Everglades set aside as a sanctuary for wild life would be a primeval forest appearing almost exactly as it did when Columbus set foot on the North American continent . . . The areas most suitable for the location of a bird sanctuary are worthless for agricultural purposes. To attempt to cut up the Big Cypress Swamp...
